Description

EMBOUT DE SECHE-CHEVEUX A CONFIGURATION VARIABLE VARIABLE CONFIGURATION HAIR DRYER TIP
Obiet de l'inventionObject of the invention
La présente invention porte sur un embout de sèche-cheveux dont la forme peut être modifiée de façon à délivrer soit un flux d'air essentiellement cylindrique, c'est-à-dire à section ronde, soit un flux d'air sous forme d'une lame relativement large et plate.The present invention relates to a nozzle for a hair dryer, the shape of which can be modified so as to deliver either an essentially cylindrical air flow, that is to say with a round section, or an air flow in the form of a 'a relatively wide and flat blade.
Arrière-plan technologique de l'inventionTechnological background of the invention
Les sèche-cheveux électriques sont conçus de manière à produire un flux d'air qui est chauffé par une résistance électrique et qui est délivré par le sèche- cheveux qui est équipé d'un ventilateur à cet effet.Electric hair dryers are designed to produce a flow of air which is heated by an electrical resistance and which is supplied by the hair dryer which is equipped with a fan for this purpose.
La conception même du sèche-cheveux, en particulier sa géométrie cylindrique de section ronde qui doit inclure un ventilateur rotatif, entraîne la création d'un flux d'air à section ronde.The very design of the hair dryer, in particular its cylindrical geometry of round section which must include a rotary fan, leads to the creation of an air flow with round section.
Dans certains cas, les utilisateurs souhaitent cependant une lame d'air relativement large et plate .In some cases, however, users want a relatively wide and flat air space.
Il est habituel, en conséquence, de monter sur l'extrémité de sortie du flux d'air un embout se terminant par une sortie aplatie, présentant généralement la forme d'un rectangle allongé, afin de créer une lame d'air large et plate. Un embout de ce type peut être monté de manière fixe sur l'ouverture de sortie du sèche-cheveux, mais le plus souvent, il s'agit d'un embout amovible.It is usual, therefore, to mount on the outlet end of the air flow an end piece ending in a flat outlet, generally having the shape of an elongated rectangle, in order to create a wide and flat air space. . A nozzle of this type can be fixedly mounted on the outlet opening of the hair dryer, but most often it is a removable nozzle.
Dans le cas d'un embout amovible, l'utilisateur risque de l'égarer, ou du moins se trouve gêné par une pièce complémentaire qu'il est parfois difficile de ranger.In the case of a removable end-piece, the user risks losing it, or at least is hampered by an additional piece which is sometimes difficult to store.
Pendant l'usage du sèche-cheveux, le flux rond et le flux large aplati s'avèrent alternativement nécessaires et obligent l'utilisateur à enlever et remettre l'embout, ce qui devient vite fastidieux d'autant que celui-ci est chaud.During the use of the hair dryer, the round flow and the flattened wide flow are alternately necessary and oblige the user to remove and replace the nozzle, which quickly becomes tedious especially as it is hot.
L'arrière-plan technologique comprend un certain nombre d'enseignements pour diverses formes de flux d'air de sèche-cheveux. Le brevet français 2 640 857 de BONTOUX illustre un arrangement de buses configurées en un matériau déformable. La rotation de la buse engendre un mécanisme pour modeler l'ouverture cylindrique de la buse en une configuration rectangulaire de sorte à engendrer un flux d'air laminaire.The technological background includes a number of lessons for various forms of hair dryer air flow. French patent 2,640,857 to BONTOUX illustrates an arrangement of nozzles configured in a deformable material. The rotation of the nozzle generates a mechanism for modeling the cylindrical opening of the nozzle in a rectangular configuration so as to generate a laminar air flow.
Buts de l'inventionAims of the invention
La présente invention vise à fournir un embout, amovible ou non, destiné à un sèche -cheveux, qui peut être modifié aisément depuis une première configuration fournissant un flux d'air chaud présentant une section ronde, jusqu'à l'obtention d'un flux d'air à section sensiblement rectangulaire, c'est-à-dire large et plate . Le terme "rectangulaire" doit bien entendu être compris comme incluant des formes comportant des coins ou des côtés légèrement arrondis, voire même ovalisés. De même le terme « rond » peut s'appliquer à des formes légèrement ovalisées. Les inconvénients de l'état de la technique résultant du fait que pendant l'usage du sèche-cheveux, le flux standard rond et le flux large aplati s'avèrent alternativement nécessaires, ce qui oblige l'utilisateur à enlever et remettre l'embout, lequel est chaud, peuvent être ainsi évités.The present invention aims to provide a nozzle, removable or not, for a hair dryer, which can be easily modified from a first configuration providing a flow of hot air having a round section, until a air flow with substantially rectangular section, that is to say wide and flat. The term "rectangular" should of course be understood to include shapes having slightly rounded or even ovalized corners or sides. Similarly the term "round" can apply to slightly ovalized shapes. The disadvantages of the state of the art resulting from the fact that during the use of the hair dryer, the standard round flow and the flattened wide flow are alternately necessary, which obliges the user to remove and replace the nozzle. , which is hot, can be avoided.
L'invention a plus précisément pour but de réaliser un mécanisme, qui est adaptable ou intégré au sèche-cheveux, afin de permette aisément une forme variable de l'embout pour que celui-ci soit capable de délivrer un flux d'air de section ronde aussi bien qu'un flux d'air large et aplati .The invention more specifically aims to provide a mechanism, which is adaptable or integrated into the hair dryer, in order to easily allow a variable shape of the nozzle so that it is capable of delivering an air flow section round as well as a broad, flat air flow.
L'invention sera décrite plus en détails en référence à des formes d'exécution préférées illustrées ci- après dans les dessins annexés.The invention will be described in more detail with reference to preferred embodiments illustrated below in the accompanying drawings.
Brève description des figuresBrief description of the figures
La figure 1 représente une vue en perspective d'un embout dans une première position produisant un flux d'air chaud de section ronde.Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a nozzle in a first position producing a flow of hot air of round section.
La figure 2 est une vue correspondante à la figure 1 dans laquelle l'embout, libère un flux d'air chaud sous forme d'une lame large et plate.Figure 2 is a view corresponding to Figure 1 in which the nozzle, releases a flow of hot air in the form of a wide and flat blade.
Les figures 3 et 4 représentent d'autres vues en perspective similaires respectivement aux figures 1 et 2, qui permettent de mieux distinguer le mouvement des volets équipant l'embout de sèche-cheveux.Figures 3 and 4 show other perspective views similar to Figures 1 and 2 respectively, which make it possible to better distinguish the movement of the flaps fitted to the nozzle of the hair dryer.
Description d'une forme d'exécution préférée de l'inventionDescription of a preferred embodiment of the invention
L'embout portant le repère général 1 peut être un dispositif intégré à un sèche-cheveux ou un élément séparé adaptable sur un sèche-cheveux existant. De par sa conception, un sèche-cheveux délivre, en principe, un flux d'air de section ronde.The nozzle bearing the general reference 1 can be a device integrated into a hair dryer or a separate element adaptable to an existing hair dryer. By design, a hair dryer in principle delivers a round section air flow.
L'embout 1 est constitué d'une virole 3 cylindrique ou tronconique, dont une extrémité, soit constitue une partie intégrale d'un sèche-cheveux (non- représenté) , soit peut être adaptée sur l'orifice de sortie d'un sèche-cheveux.The nozzle 1 consists of a cylindrical or frustoconical ferrule 3, one end of which either constitutes an integral part of a hair dryer (not shown), or can be adapted to the outlet orifice of a dryer -hair.
Dans une première position (figures 1 et 3), le flux d'air libéré à la sortie de l'embout est de section pratiquement ronde.In a first position (Figures 1 and 3), the air flow released at the outlet of the nozzle is of practically round section.
Pour certaines applications cependant, l'utilisateur souhaite disposer d'un flux d'air sous forme d'une lame relativement large et plate.For certain applications, however, the user wishes to have an air flow in the form of a relatively wide and flat blade.
Pour obtenir cet effet, la virole 3 est équipée de deux tiroirs 5 pouvant effectuer un mouvement de pivotement par rapport à des axes géométriques 7, et de volets 9 pouvant effectuer un mouvement de pivotement par rapport à des axes géométriques 11, en principe perpendiculaires aux axes de pivotement 7 des tiroirs 5. Dans la position représentée aux figures 1 etTo obtain this effect, the ferrule 3 is equipped with two drawers 5 which can perform a pivoting movement with respect to geometric axes 7, and flaps 9 which can perform a pivoting movement with respect to geometric axes 11, in principle perpendicular to the pivot axes 7 of the drawers 5. In the position shown in Figures 1 and
3, les volets 9 sont parallèles à l'axe du flux d'air correspondant à la forme de la virole 3, et les tiroirs 5 sont rentrés. Comme représenté, les parois supérieures 5A des deux tiroirs se glissent sous le volet supérieur et les parois inférieures 5B de ces mêmes tiroirs recouvrent le volet inférieur.3, the flaps 9 are parallel to the axis of the air flow corresponding to the shape of the shell 3, and the drawers 5 are returned. As shown, the upper walls 5A of the two drawers slide under the upper flap and the lower walls 5B of these same drawers cover the lower flap.
Dans cette configuration, le flux d'air chaud continue à maintenir une section ronde qui est simplement divisée en trois tranches longitudinales dans la virole 3. La configuration de la face latérale des tiroirs peut bien entendu être adaptée pour être légèrement arrondie, de manière à se conformer, en position repliée, à la forme générale circulaire de la virole 3. Pour assurer le mouvement de pivotement indiqué des tiroirs et des volets par rapport respectivement aux axes 7 et 11, des pivots ou tous moyens équivalents adéquats peuvent être prévus. Afin de modifier la configuration de l'embout, les tiroirs 5 peuvent être pivotes par rapport aux axes géométriques 7 de façon à aplatir l'orifice de sortie jusqu'à atteindre la position représentée aux figures 2 et 4. Simultanément, les volets 9 sont relevés de manière à venir s'appliquer, en pivotant par rapport aux axes géométriques 11, sur la partie intérieure de la virole 3. Le flux d'air, au départ de section ronde, heurte donc les volets 9 et est dirigé vers l'axe de la virole 3. Simultanément, le flux d'air peut également s'écarter à gauche et à droite en suivant la face latérale des tiroirs 5 maintenant déployés, de façon à obtenir un flux d'air qui est de forme substantiellement rectangulaire tel que représenté. Tous moyens appropries peuvent être prévus pour réaliser cette transformation.In this configuration, the flow of hot air continues to maintain a round section which is simply divided into three longitudinal sections in the shell 3. The configuration of the lateral face of the drawers can of course be adapted to be slightly rounded, so as to conform, in the folded position, to the generally circular shape of the ferrule 3. To ensure the indicated pivoting movement of the drawers and flaps relative to axes 7 and 11 respectively, pivots or any suitable equivalent means can be provided. In order to modify the configuration of the end piece, the drawers 5 can be pivoted relative to the geometric axes 7 so as to flatten the outlet orifice until reaching the position shown in FIGS. 2 and 4. Simultaneously, the flaps 9 are raised so as to come to be applied, by pivoting with respect to the geometric axes 11, on the inner part of the ferrule 3. The air flow, at the start of the round section, therefore strikes the flaps 9 and is directed towards the axis of the ferrule 3. Simultaneously, the air flow can also deviate to the left and to the right by following the lateral face of the drawers 5 now deployed, so as to obtain an air flow which is of substantially rectangular shape such as which represents. All appropriate means can be provided to achieve this transformation.
Des ressorts (non représentés) peuvent être par exemple prévus pour que les volets 9 et les tiroirs 5 soient sollicités de manière à maintenir la position représentée aux figures 2 et 4. En exerçant un effort, par exemple à l'aide d'une bague (non représentée) de diamètre légèrement supérieur à celui de la virole 3 et qui est glissée de manière à recouvrir progressivement les tiroirs 5 de l'arrière vers l'avant, il devient possible, contre l'effort du ressort, de rentrer le tiroir vers la position des figures 1 et 3. Simultanément, les volets 9 peuvent être ramenés en alignement avec l'axe de la virole 3.Springs (not shown) can for example be provided so that the flaps 9 and the drawers 5 are biased so as to maintain the position shown in Figures 2 and 4. By exerting a force, for example using a ring (not shown) slightly larger in diameter than the ferrule 3 and which is slid so as to gradually cover the drawers 5 from the rear to the front, it becomes possible, against the force of the spring, to retract the drawer towards the position of FIGS. 1 and 3. Simultaneously, the flaps 9 can be brought back in alignment with the axis of the ferrule 3.
D'autres moyens peuvent bien entendu être prévus . Aucune difficulté ne se présente pour concevoir la forme des volets de manière à ce qu'ils puissent assurer la fonction souhaitée, c'est-à-dire s'appliquer sur la face intérieure de la virole en assurant une déflection de pratiquement la totalité de l'air.Other means can of course be provided. No difficulty arises in designing the shape of the flaps so that they can provide the desired function, that is to say apply to the inner face of the ferrule ensuring deflection of practically all of the air.
Les tiroirs peuvent être également facilement repliés, pratiquement sans interférence avec le mouvement des volets 9.The drawers can also be easily folded back, practically without interference with the movement of the flaps 9.
Un léger congé peut être prévu, soit au niveau des tiroirs (extrémités de la face supérieure ou de la face inférieure) ou au niveau des volets si nécessaire.A slight leave may be provided, either at the level of the drawers (ends of the upper face or the lower face) or at the flaps if necessary.
En pratique, on constate que la transformation s'effectue très facilement sans frottements excessifs et sans perte importante de la section libre pour la circulation du flux d'air depuis la position de la figure 1 vers celle de la figure 3. Les tiroirs latéraux, par un dimensionnement adéquat, peuvent maintenir une section raisonnable du flux lorsqu'il est aplati, qui correspond, ici, environ à deux tiers de la section ronde. In practice, it can be seen that the transformation takes place very easily without excessive friction and without significant loss of the free cross-section for the circulation of the air flow from the position of FIG. 1 to that of FIG. 3. The lateral drawers, by an adequate dimensioning, can maintain a reasonable section of the flow when it is flattened, which corresponds, here, approximately to two thirds of the round section.
