  • Patent number: 10820676
    Abstract: A hair-shaping device comprising a winding core, a rotatably drivable entraining element with an axis of rotation which corresponds to the longitudinal axis of the winding core, the entraining element designed to grasp a strand of hair and to wind the strand of hair around the winding core, and a housing that encloses the winding core, wherein the radial distance of the inside of the housing from the lateral surface of the winding core in the region of a winding space is sufficiently large such that winding the strand of hair onto the winding core is not hindered. The housing comprises a slot extending in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the winding core. The entraining element is arranged inside the winding space.

  • Publication number: 20190045901
    Abstract: A hair-styling device serves to curl or wave hair. Said hair-styling device comprises two styling bodies 5, 5.1, which interact with each other to style the hair and can be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the styling bodies and of which at least one of the styling bodies 5, 5.1 is driven, which styling bodies 5, 5.1 have a shell surface contoured by elevations and recesses and are arranged in relation to each other in such a way that complementary contours of the two styling bodies 5, 5.1 mesh in the course of rotation of the two styling bodies. The styling bodies 5, 5.1 have a bone-shaped cross-sectional geometry having two head sections 7, 7.1 designed with a shell surface 8 that is convexly rounded at least in some sections and having a tapered central section 6 located between the head sections and designed with a concave shell surface. The radius of curvature in the region of the central apex 9 of the head sections 7, 7.1 of the one styling body 5, 5.1, 5.

  • Patent number: 9872549
    Abstract: A hair styling device comprising two hinged arms able to move relative to each other for the receiving and shaping of a strand of hair. Each arm carries a shaping plate on its side facing the other arm. These shaping surfaces making contact with the hair strand being styled. The hair being styled is pulled past these shaping surfaces. One of the two arms has a hair support on its side carrying the shaping plate. The hair support is arranged at a spacing from the shaping surface of the other arm, so that the other arm can be introduced into an arm support between the hair support and the shaping surface of the shaping plate of the arm carrying the hair support. The shaping plates of the two arms which cooperate with each other for the hair styling can move relative to each other in the manner of scissors.

  • Publication number: 20170172273
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hair-shaping device (1) comprising a winding core (4) for winding a strand of hair (20), a rotatably drivable entraining element (7), the axis of rotation (13) of which corresponds at least largely to the longitudinal axis of the winding core (4), which entraining element (7) is designed to grasp a strand of hair (20) to be wound on the winding core (4) and to wind said strand of hair around the winding core (4), and a housing (3) that at least largely encloses the winding core (4), wherein the radial distance of the inside of the housing from the lateral surface of the winding core (4) in the region of a winding space (18) is selected to be sufficiently large such that the winding of a strand of hair (20) onto the winding core (4) is not hindered, which housing (3) comprises a slot (9) extending in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the winding core (4) for inserting a strand of hair (20) to be shaped.

  • Patent number: 9433273
    Abstract: A method of forming curls/waves of hair with a styling device having shaping surfaces of shaping plates and a device designed to perform said method are disclosed. The hair is heated until the sulfur bonds contained in the keratin chains are extensively broken. The heated hair is pulled past several spaced-apart shaping bodies, other while in contact with them. Upon contacting the first shaping body the hair has a temperature where the sulfur bonds are extensively broken, then, before leaving the last shaping body has cooled to where the sulfur bonds have largely rejoined. The device comprises two hinged arms moving against each other, each having a shaping plate on its facing surfaces. The styling arm carries on its outer side several shaping bodies arranged at a distance from each other, from the outer termination of the housing and, extending in the longitudinal direction.

  • Publication number: 20150150350
    Abstract: A hair styling device is described with two arms that can be adjusted relative to one another in an articulated manner for receiving and shaping a strand of hair. Each arms carries on its side facing the other arm a shaping plate with a shaping surface that makes contact with the hair strand to be shaped during the hair styling process. It is especially characteristic that a blocking rib is provided adjacent to the shaping surfaces of each of the two shaping plates on their side remote from the pivot axis of the arms and projecting in the direction of the particular other arm and running transversally to the longitudinal extension of the particular arm. The two blocking ribs are arranged offset to one another and adjacent in the closed position of the arms and which run parallel to one another and overlap above a certain height, and which do not extend to the particular other arm in this position of the two arms to one another.
