CORRECTING CLIP FOR PERMING THE HAIR
A correcting clip for perming the hair is formed into a clamp and constituted of a pair of handles and a pair of clip bodies. The lower handle is provided with an electric heater serving as the heat source of the upper clip body. The upper clip body is constituted of a plurality of protruding rings. There is a gap formed between each pair of protruding rings. In use, a hairdresser grips the upper clip body and the lower clip body to clip the hair coated with a correcting paste and to outwardly pull the clipped bundle of hairs, and with the clipping pressure and heat, the scales curled from the surface of the hair during the perm can be corrected to recover its original shape, thereby to recover the smoothness of the hair.
1. Field of the Invention
Many women like to go to the beauty salon for a perm, and thus the perm has become a part of women's life. There are many kinds of methods for perming the hair. The perming procedure is substantially described as follows. First, the hair is subjected to a softening treatment. The so-called softening treatment is performed by coating a chemical reagent on the hair to slightly curl the scales on the surface of the hair (the hair is covered by a plurality of overlapped scales). As a result, the degree of the softness of the hair can be increase, thereby to facilitate the shaping of hairstyle. Then, the chemical reagent is heated again so that the hairstyle can be set. Finally, the correcting clip and another chemical reagent are used to smooth the scales curled from the surface of the hair during the softening treatment. As a result, the smoothness and the luster of the hair can be recovered. This is called the correcting step. Since the tool used in this correcting step has the clip shape, it is called a “correcting clip.”
2. Description of Prior Art
The conventional correcting clip used in hairdressers is shown in
In view of the above, the inventor proposes the present invention to overcome the above problems based on his expert experiences and deliberate researches. In order to concentrate the clipping pressure and distribute the heat into the bundle of hairs more evenly, the structure of the clip body is modified. The description of the present invention is made with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the drawings are illustrative but not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
- 3 pivot
- 4 plug
- 10 upperhandle
- 12 lower handle
- 21 lower clip body
- 22 upper clip body
- 23 gap
- 51 upper handle
- 52 lower handle
- 61 lower clip body
- 62 upper clip body
- 611 insulator
The lower clip body (61) is also formed into a rod shape. Although the lower clip body (61) is not a heat-generating element, some heat will be still transferred onto the lower clip body (61), and it is painful when the lower clip body (61) touches the skin of head. Therefore, an insulator (611 ) is covered around the surface of the lower clip body (61), as shown in
In the present invention, both the upper clip body (62) and the lower clip body (61) are formed into a rod shape. When the correcting clip clips the bundle of hairs, the clipped point exerts a point-to-point pressure on the single hair. Therefore, the pressure and heating effect of the present invention are stronger than those in prior art (the conventional correcting clip exerts a flat plane pressure on a bundle of hairs). In operation, the hairdresser grips the upper clip body (62) and the lower clip body (61) to outwardly pull the bundles of hairs, and the effects caused by the pressure and the heat can reach the whole bundle of hairs. Therefore, in comparison with the prior art, the correcting effect of the present invention is much better.
As shown in
Claims
