Tank With A Hooking Device For A Steam Hairdressing Apparatus

Abstract

The invention relates to a tank (2) intended for containing a liquid to be vaporised and for being assembled with a main body (1) of a hairdressing apparatus, said tank (2) being intended for being connected with a vaporising device of the hairdressing apparatus designed for vaporising the liquid and diffusing it towards a strand of hair. According to the invention, the tank (2) has a movable hooking device (3) comprising at least one hooking means designed to correspond with at least one complementary hooking means belonging to the main body (1) so as to hook the tank (2) with the main body (1), said movable hooking device (3) being movable between a first position providing the hooking of the tank (2) with the main body (1) and a second position allowing a user to assemble or disassemble the tank (3) with the main body (1).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to the field of hairdressing apparatuses and preferentially to the field of hairdressing apparatuses that vaporize liquid and diffuse it towards a strand of hair, such as, for example, steam hairdressing apparatuses.[0002]More specifically, the invention relates to the field of hairdressing apparatuses comprising a vaporizing device designed for vaporizing liquid and diffusing it towards a strand of hair, a main body, and a tank that is removable and intended for containing a liquid to be vaporized and for being assembled with the main body in order to be connected with the vaporizing device to supply the latter with liquid to be vaporized.[0003]The invention also relates to the field of tanks for hairdressing apparatuses, and more particularly to tanks intended for containing a liquid to be vaporized and for being assembled with a main body of a hairdressing apparatus, said tank being intended for being connected with a vaporizing ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The tank in this hairdressing apparatus can be easily assembled or disassembled without damaging the tank or the main body. It is designed with guiding devices that work with complementary guiding devices on the main body to make the tank move smoothly and easily. This improves the hooking of the tank to the main body and makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the tank.

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, there are nevertheless certain disadvantages or risks when handling these apparatuses, and in particular when assembling the tank with the main body of the apparatus or disassembling it therefrom.

Indeed, if the tank is not correctly assembled with the main body of the apparatus, the liquid may leak during the styling operation.

These risks are significantly increased due to the fact that the hairdressing apparatuses in question are designed to be manually operated by the user and to be subjected to numerous movements in connection with the styling operations.

In addition, the tank may accidentally detach from the hairdressing apparatus.

These leaks or this detachment may cause the user inconvenience ranging from simply wetting his / her clothes, for example, to the risk of electrocution, as the hairdressing apparatuses in question are usually electric appliances.

However, this solution is particularly inconvenient for the user who, when he / she wants to assemble or disassemble the tank from his / her hairdressing apparatus, must firmly grasp the main body of the hairdressing apparatus with one hand and firmly grasp the tank with the other hand, then exert a substantial relative movement between their parts to disassemble or assemble them.

This operation therefore requires both of the user's hands as well as considerable effort in terms of both amplitude and force (to overcome the frictional force).

Moreover, with the repeated assembly and disassembly operations, the parts that undergo friction with each other will become worn and slacken, and the reliability of the assembly will decrease over time, which may subsequently lead to accidental disassembly.

This solution has proven to be particularly unreliable with regard to keeping the tank in place and presents risks of accidental disassembly.

In addition, this solution is not very durable over time since, due to the repeated assembly and disassembly operations, the tab will wear out and the assembly will develop slack, which increases the risk of accidental disassembly.

Furthermore, there is a high risk of fatigue failure of the tab after it has been repeatedly deformed, and then the tank can no longer be held on the main body.

The reliability and durability of this solution therefore appear limited.

Thus, the translational movement of the movable hooking device is limited to a single translation that is guided by the tank itself.

Thus, the translational movement of the movable hooking device is doubly limited by the tank itself.
