Hair styling appliance for curling hair with an inclined barrel and winder

Abstract

A hair styling appliance for curling hair, includes a gripping handle along a first axis and a housing having a winding chamber defining a second axis an introduction slot and an extraction opening. The first and second axes form a plane. A barrel has fixed and free ends disposed close to the extraction opening and extends in the winding chamber along a third axis in the plane. The third axis is inclined at an angle with respect to the first axis such that the free end is farther away from the gripping handle than the fixed end. A hollow winder is arranged around and coaxially with the barrel. The winder is mounted to rotate about the third axis and to successively grasp the proximal end of the lock, concomitantly wind the lock about the barrel and the winder, and then completely wind the lock around the barrel, as it rotates.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates to the field of hair styling appliances for curling strands of hair, in particular those equipped with an automated strand winding device to curl the strand.STATE OF THE ART[0002]Such hair styling appliances for curling strands of hair, with an automated strand winding device to curl the strand, are already known to those skilled in the art. For example, patent applications published under the numbers FR2373986A1, DE2816289A1, WO2009077747A2, WO2012080751A2, WO2013186547A1 describe such hair styling appliances. According to this type of design, the hair styling appliance comprises a housing which has a winding chamber having an opening for inserting the hair strand, a mandrel arranged in this winding chamber and a winder configured to wind the hair strand around the mandrel.[0003]In the patent application FR2373986A1, the winder is shaped like a spiral with teeth such that when the appliance is turned on, the strand of hair can be grasped ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The technical effects of this patent text are to create a hair styling appliance that is easy to use, can treat the hair effectively, and prevent damage to the hair. This appliance should allow for easy grasping of the hair strand to wind it, and create consistent and regular curls without getting the hair stuck or entangled in the process.

Problems solved by technology

The aforementioned hair curling appliances, described in FR2373986A1 and DE2816289A, are complicated to use and are not ergonomic.

In addition, they do not permit effective hair curling, because the wound hair is not kept close to the mandrel for proper curl formation.

The design of this winder requires the grasped strand to be wound around both sides of the disk, which generates tension on the hair throughout winding, and thus risks hair damage.

In addition, the strand may easily become stuck in the winding chamber of the housing, because of this winding on both sides of the disk.

In addition, this design is very bulky.

This design is also very bulky.

In addition, its design is complex, which complicates its production and increases its manufacturing cost.

This design is complex and implements a large number of parts, making its production difficult and increasing its manufacturing cost.

In addition, this design also makes it more bulky.
