  • Patent number: 11690432
    Abstract: A hair styling device includes a first and a second arm each having first and second gripping sections mounted to be articulated between the open and closed configurations; a reservoir mounted on the first arm and designed to contain a fluid to be vaporised; a vaporisation device mounted on the first arm and designed to produce steam; and a fluid conveyor element secured to the reservoir and designed to convey the fluid contained in the reservoir towards the vaporisation device. The reservoir extends at least partly in the first gripping section and is mounted such that it can move between a vaporisation position in which the vaporisation device is configured to vaporise the fluid conveyed by said fluid conveyor element, and a resting position.

  • Patent number: 11627790
    Abstract: A hair-styling appliance includes a first and second arm pivotably mounted between a spaced-apart and a closed configuration; a reservoir mounted on the first arm and intended for containing a fluid to be vaporised; a vaporisation device mounted on the first arm and configured for generating vapour; a fluid-conveying element attached to the reservoir and configured for conveying fluid contained in the reservoir to the vaporisation device. The reservoir is movably mounted between a vaporisation position in which the vaporisation device is configured for vaporising the fluid conveyed by the fluid conveying element and an inoperative position. The hair-styling appliance includes an actuating element mounted on the second arm and configured for moving the reservoir from the inoperative position to the vaporisation position when the first and second arms are moved from the spaced-apart configuration to the closed configuration.

  • Patent number: 10648127
    Abstract: A steam ironing and/or smoothing appliance including an ironing board against which a garment to be ironed can be placed for a steam treatment, the ironing board being mounted with the ability to pivot by a hinge device enabling the ironing board to be immobilized in various tilted positions, the hinge device including a first part which is mobile in rotation in relation to a second part, the first part including at least one notch in which is engaged at least one locking element carried by the second part in order to prevent the hinge device from rotating, wherein the second part is mobile in translation in relation to the first part according to a course and a direction enabling the locking element to engage and disengage in the notch.
