Description

Field of technology

The invention relates to the field of hair care, in particular to curling hair using curlers positioned vertically.

State of the art

The choice of curlers or perm rods depends on the desired end result.

Hair curling products also differ in form:

Classic ones are small curlers with a flat surface, on which there are several rows of holes for better distribution of the chemical substance, and subsequently, thanks to the holes, the hair dries faster.

Classic curlers with a flat surface are opposed to spiral curlers, which are usually used for vertical curling. Here, the so-called American curlers for American curling are distinguished. Their peculiarity lies in fairly wide deep spirals, allowing you to make tight, strong curls.

Papillotes are foam rubber curlers with a flexible metal rod inside. This design is good because the curler quickly takes any shape. You can curl hair of any length on papillotes.

Japanese sticks, having a fairly large diameter (about 25 mm), allow you to make voluminous curls. https://vplate.ru/himicheskaya-zavivka/bigudi/

Cone-shaped curlers are also used for vertical curling.

A hair curling device is known, which is provided with a lock made in the form of an open ring with one bent end, and on the body at the base there is a recess for the lock, wherein the clamping element is made in the form of a spiral spring in the form of a bobbin. The device contains a bobbin made in the form of a cone mounted on a base, a clamping element made in the form of a spiral spring in the form of a bobbin, and a lock made in the form of an open ring with one bent end. The cone and the base have a cutout. A strand of hair is placed in the cutout of the base, clamped with the lock and wound onto the bobbin. Then the clamping element is placed on the bobbin with the wound hair (see patent No. 342 600, IPC A45D 2/02 (2000.01), 1972).

The disadvantage of this device is that when curling hair, it is necessary to place the strand in the cutout and clamp it with a lock, and then after curling, place the clamping element, made in the form of a spiral spring. Using several devices to hold the hair affects the speed of the work, and can also lead to damage to the hair along the entire length when in contact with the clamping elements.

Also known are conical curlers, which allow you to create an airy style with large waves at the roots, smoothly transitioning to neat small curls at the ends. The blown body will allow you to use conical curlers for a variety of types of curling - both with styling products and without. The material from which the curlers are made is durable and is not afraid of chemical compounds, which allows you to use them to create permanent hair styling. Gaps along the edges of the curlers are designed to fix the curled strands with special rubber bands

The disadvantage of this device is that when winding, an elastic band is used to secure the curlers. The elastic band, as a result of improper fastening, very often breaks the hair near the root. Plus, with classic winding, paper is necessarily used on the ends. Not everyone knows how to use this.

A hair curling device is known, which comprises a hollow support body, having a first end, a second end, an axial length, a circumference and a cross-section. The cross-section decreases from the first end along the axial length towards the second end. The enlarged element has a cross-section exceeding the cross-section of the second end, is located in the region of the second end and is designed and located so as to prevent hair from sliding off the curler in the mounted position of the hair. The fixing device is intended and implemented with the possibility of fixing the support body in the region of the hair base in the installed position of the said curler. A hook tape is located along the circumference of the supporting body. The tape with hooks covers at least a part of the circumference of the support body. This part approximately extends from the region of the first end in the direction of the axial length of the support body. The support body, at least in the area covered by the hook tape, has an approximately oval cross-section. It should be understood that the fixing device can be a separate element or its function can be performed by a tape with hooks. (see patent US2002129830A1, IPC A45D 2/14; A45D 2/26. 2002). This solution is adopted as a prototype.

This device (namely, a hook tape at the end of a larger diameter) allows for a tight fit of the hair to the body to perform the main function - getting curls. But the hook tape has a negative effect on the process of unwinding the hair, since the use of such a tape leads to their tangling. At the same time, the fixing device in the form of a needle, or a pin, or a similar element, cannot ensure the fastening of the last coil so that it does not begin to unravel and weaken the entire curl. Also, the maximum lush volume of the hairstyle cannot be ensured, since the twisting begins from the tip of the hair strands on the side of the maximum diameter of the device. All this affects the labor intensity and quality of the curl.

Disclosure of the essence of the invention.

The technical problem solved by the invention is to improve the technological efficiency of its use, simplify the removal of curlers without damaging the hair and ensure the maximum lush volume of the hairstyle.

The technical result of using all the essential features of the invention consists in reducing the labor intensity of hair curling while improving the quality of curling and reducing hair trauma.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that in the known hair curling device, containing a hollow body made in the form of a cone with openings on the side surface, fastening and fixing elements, in accordance with the invention, the fastening element in the form of a hook is made on the top of the conical body and with the open part faces the base of the body, and the fixing element is made in the form of a hollow, elastic conical clamp, not closed along the longitudinal side due to the presence of a longitudinal connector and connected to the body with the possibility of embracing the latter.

The fixing element is made with holes on the side surface.

The fixing element is provided with bent tabs formed on opposite sides of the longitudinal connector.

The fastening element can be made integral with the body.

The fastening element can be detachably connected to the body.

The fastening element in the form of a hook, made on the top of the conical body and with the open part facing the base of the body serves to fasten the strand of hair at the beginning of using the device, so that the strand does not slip off the top of the conical body. The fastening element is used at the beginning of winding the strand of hair and after the first winding of the strand in the hook, the hair tightly fits the tool, which reduces the labor intensity of curling hair while improving the quality of curling, since there is no breakage of hair at the root.

The implementation of the fixing element in the form of a hollow, elastic cone-shaped clamp, not closed along the longitudinal side due to the presence of a longitudinal connector, allows fixing a strand of hair laid in a spiral on the body at different sections of the body due to its elasticity and cone-shaped shape. The fixing element can be moved along the body without disturbing the laid strand. It is put on the body with the ability to cover the latter, tightly pressing the strand of hair to the surface of the body, which reduces the labor intensity of curling hair while improving the quality of curling and reducing hair injury.

The holes in the fixing element are designed to lighten the structure and improve elastic properties.

Implementation and industrial realization of the invention.

The hair curling device comprises a hollow body 1 made in the form of a cone with openings 2 on the side surface (see Fig. 1, 3). On the top 3 of the conical body 1 there is a fastening element 4 in the form of a hook. The fastening element 4 with the open part 5 faces the base 6 of the body 1 (see Fig. 1). The device is provided with a locking element 7 made in the form of a hollow, elastic conical clamp. The locking element 7 is made not closed along the longitudinal side due to the presence of a longitudinal connector 8 (see Fig. 2, 4). Due to the fact that the locking element 7 is made not closed along the sides 9, 10 of the longitudinal connector 8, bent tabs 11 are formed, ensuring ease of use (see Fig. 2, 4). The locking element 7 is connected to the body 1 with the possibility of embracing the latter (see Fig. 1, 7, 8).

The fixing element 7 is made with holes 12 on the side surface 13 (see Fig. 1, 4).

The fastening element 4 can be made integral with the housing 1 or in the form of a separate removable element connected to the housing 1, for example, by means of a threaded connection (not shown conditionally).

The fastening element 4 in the form of a hook, made on the top of the conical body 1 and with the open part 5 facing the base of the body, serves to fasten the strand of hair at the beginning of using the device, so that the strand does not slip off the top of the conical body. The fastening element 4 is used at the beginning of winding the strand of hair and after the first winding of the strand in the hook, the hair tightly fits the body 1, which reduces the labor intensity of curling the hair while improving the quality of the curl, since no breakage of the hair at the root occurs.

The fixing element 7, made in the form of a hollow, elastic cone-shaped clamp, not closed along the longitudinal side due to the presence of a longitudinal connector 8, allows fixing a strand of hair laid in a spiral on the body 1 on different sections of the body 1 due to its elasticity and cone-shaped shape. The fixing element 7 can be moved along the body 1 using bent tabs 11, without disturbing the laid strand. It is put on the body 1 with the possibility of covering the latter, tightly pressing the strand of hair to the surface of the body 1, which ensures a decrease in the labor intensity of curling hair while improving the quality of curling and reducing hair trauma.

The 2 holes on the side surface of the housing are designed for uniform distribution of the chemical composition over the entire thickness of the strand and subsequent thorough rinsing after removing the device from the head.

The body 1 with the fixing element 4 can be made of high-quality plastic (e.g. polypropylene). The fixing element, which must have elasticity, can be made of plastic, for example, POM – polyacetal, used in 3D printing.

Using the device (see Fig. 5 - 8).

Hair winding begins from the top of the body, on which the fastening element 4 in the form of a hook is made. Body 1 in the place of the fastening element 4 in the form of a hook has the smallest diameter, due to which the strand of hair will be wound more strongly than the strands wound on the end of the roller. Winding begins from the root of the hair (see Fig. 5), due to which the root will have a steeper curl, which will more reliably hold the required volume. At the ends of the hair, the curl will be larger due to the increased diameter of the body at its base 6. Due to the sufficiently large length of the device body and the ability to fix the strand with the fixing element 7 on any part of the body, it is possible to adjust the step frequency of the wound strand, which also affects the quality of the hairstyle.

The device can be manufactured using modern equipment, for example, a 3D printer.

The claimed hair curling device can be used in beauty salons, hairdressing salons and at home.
