A handle (6) elongates along a longitudinal axis that is perpendicular to the X axis. The teeth (2, 3) extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle. The hooks extend laterally towards same lateral ends (9) of the comb. An independent claim is also included for a method for coloring or bleaching hair mesh.

Description

La présente invention concerne les peignes pouvant être utilisés pour isoler une ou plusieurs mèches de cheveux, afm par exemple de leur appliquer un produit de coloration ou éclaircissant.The present invention relates to combs that can be used to isolate a or several locks of hair, for example to apply to them a product of coloring or lightening.

Le brevet français 1 600 472 et les brevets US 4 993 438, 4 996 996 et 5 152 306 décrivent de tels peignes.French Patent 1,600,472 and US Patents 4,993,438, 4,996,996 and 5,152,306 describe such combs.

Il existe un besoin pour faciliter encore la réalisation de mèches colorées ou éclaircies, par une personne seule notamment.There is a need to further facilitate the creation of colored locks or thinning, by a single person in particular.

Il existe également un besoin pour pouvoir colorer ou éclaircir des mèches d'une manière reproductible sur l'ensemble de la chevelure.There is also a need to be able to color or lighten wicks in a reproducible way on the whole of the hair.

L'invention vise à répondre à ces besoins.The invention aims to meet these needs.

L'invention a ainsi pour objet, selon un premier de ses aspects, un peigne pour les cheveux comportant une succession de dents, dont l'une au moins porte un crochet qui s'étend au moins partiellement hors d'un plan défini par au moins deux dents de la succession. La succession de dents peut comporter notamment au moins deux dents portant chacune un crochet, voire au moins trois dents portant chacune un crochet. Au moins deux dents peuvent être dépourvues de crochet.The invention thus has, according to a first aspect, a comb for hair with a succession of teeth, at least one of which has a hook extends at least partially out of a plane defined by at least two teeth of the succession. The succession of teeth may comprise in particular at least two teeth bearing each a hook, or at least three teeth each carrying a hook. At least two teeth may be devoid of hook.

Un tel peigne permet d'isoler et de saisir facilement une ou plusieurs mèches de cheveux afin de les traiter.Such a comb makes it easy to isolate and grasp one or more wicks hair to treat them.

De plus, l'invention permet de disposer d'un peigne relativement peu coûteux à réaliser et donc susceptible d'être commercialisé sous la forme d'un kit avec un produit de traitement de la chevelure.In addition, the invention makes it possible to have a relatively inexpensive comb to realize and therefore likely to be marketed in the form of a kit with a product of treatment of the hair.

Dans un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, les crochets s'étendent d'un même côté de la succession de dents et vers une même extrémité latérale du peigne.In an exemplary implementation of the invention, the brackets extend from one same side of the succession of teeth and towards the same lateral end of the comb.

Les dents peuvent présenter des bases alignées.Teeth may have aligned bases.

La base d'au moins une dent portant un crochet peut être séparée de la base d'une dent consécutive dépourvue de crochet d'une distance supérieure à deux fois, voire trois fois l'écartement moyen entre les sommets de deux dents dépourvues de crochet.The base of at least one tooth carrying a hook can be separated from the base of a consecutive tooth devoid of a hook by a distance greater than twice, or three times the average spacing between the tops of two teeth devoid of hook.

Le peigne peut comporter un manche allongé selon un axe longitudinal et la succession de dents peut s'étendre transversalement à cet axe longitudinal, notamment perpendiculairement à celui-ci. The comb may comprise an elongated handle along a longitudinal axis and the succession of teeth may extend transversely to this longitudinal axis, in particular perpendicular to it.

La succession de dents peut comporter des dents dont les bases s'étendent de manière non coplanaire avec le manche, notamment en faisant un angle aigu non nul avec l'axe longitudinal de celui-ci. Cela peut permettre d'améliorer l'ergonomie du peigne. L'angle précité peut être compris entre 5 et 45°, par exemple.The succession of teeth may comprise teeth whose bases extend from non-coplanar way with the handle, in particular by making a non-zero acute angle with the longitudinal axis of it. This can improve the ergonomics of the comb. The aforementioned angle can be between 5 and 45 °, for example.

Dans le cas où un tel angle aigu existe, au moins un crochet peut s'étendre du côté de cet angle aigu, et de préférence tous les crochets s'étendent de ce même côté.In the case where such an acute angle exists, at least one hook may extend from side of this acute angle, and preferably all the hooks extend from this same side.

Dans un exemple de réalisation, le peigne comporte une première série de crochets qui s'étend d'un côté du plan précité et une deuxième série qui s'étend du côté opposé. Cette deuxième série peut ne comporter, à la limite, qu'un seul crochet.In an exemplary embodiment, the comb comprises a first series of hooks that extends from one side of the aforementioned plane and a second series that extends to the side opposite. This second series may have, at the limit, only one hook.

Les crochets de la première série peuvent par exemple être tous dirigés vers une même extrémité latérale du peigne tandis que les crochets de l'autre série sont dirigés vers l'extrémité latérale opposée.For example, the brackets of the first series may all be directed to the same side end of the comb while the hooks of the other series are directed towards the opposite lateral end.

L'écartement entre deux crochets adjacents au sein de la première série peut être différent de l'écartement entre deux crochets adjacents au sein de la deuxième série.The spacing between two adjacent hooks within the first set may be different from the spacing between two adjacent hooks within the second series.

La présence des première et deuxième séries de crochets peut permettre à l'utilisateur, en fonction du côté qu'il choisit d'appliquer contre la chevelure, d'extraire par exemple un nombre différent de mèches ou des mèches contenant des quantités de cheveux différentes.The presence of the first and second sets of hooks may allow the user, depending on which side he chooses to apply against the hair, to extract by example a different number of locks or locks containing amounts of hair different.

L'invention a encore pour objet un peigne pour les cheveux, comportant une succession de dents, dont l'une au moins porte un crochet qui s'étend au moins partiellement hors d'un plan défini par au moins deux dents de la succession, et hors d'un plan perpendiculaire à ce plan.The subject of the invention is also a comb for the hair, comprising a succession of teeth, at least one of which carries a hook extending at least partially out of a plane defined by at least two teeth of the succession, and out of a plane perpendicular to this plane.

L'invention a encore pour objet un peigne pour les cheveux, comportant une succession de dents, dont deux au moins portent un crochet qui s'étend au moins partiellement hors d'un plan défini par au moins deux dents de la succession, les deux dents étant séparées par au moins une dent dépourvue de crochet.The subject of the invention is also a comb for the hair, comprising a succession of teeth, at least two of which carry a hook extending at least partially out of a plane defined by at least two teeth of the succession, both teeth being separated by at least one tooth devoid of hook.

L'invention a encore pour objet, selon un autre de ses aspects, un procédé pour colorer ou éclaircir au moins une mèche de cheveux, comportant les étapes suivantes :

  • isoler en utilisant un peigne tel que défmi ci-dessus au moins une mèche de cheveux,
  • éclaircir ou colorer la mèche ainsi isolée.
Another subject of the invention, according to another of its aspects, is a method for coloring or lightening at least one lock of hair, comprising the following steps:
  • isolate using a comb as defined above at least one lock of hair,
  • lighten or color the wick thus isolated.

Dans un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, on isole simultanément plusieurs mèches en utilisant le peigne.In an exemplary implementation of the invention, it is simultaneously isolated several wicks using the comb.

Pour isoler une ou plusieurs mèches, on peut par exemple peigner dans une première phase les cheveux, en utilisant de façon conventionnelle le peigne, puis coucher dans une deuxième phase le peigne sur la chevelure avec le ou les crochets disposés contre le cuir chevelu ou du côté de celui-ci, à proximité de la racine des cheveux. Dans une troisième phase on déplace le peigne, par exemple en tirant sur le manche vers l'arrière, de manière à ce qu'une ou plusieurs mèches s'engagent dans le ou les crochets.To isolate one or more locks, it is possible for example to comb in a first phase the hair, using the comb conventionally, then bed in a second phase the comb on the hair with the hooks or against the scalp or the side of it, near the hairline. In third phase the comb is moved, for example by pulling the handle backwards, so that one or more bits engage in the hooks.

L'invention pourra être mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, d'exemples non limitatifs de mise en oeuvre de celle-ci, et à l'examen du dessin annexé, sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de face, schématique, d'un exemple de peigne réalisé conformément à l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une coupe transversale, partielle et schématique, selon II-II de la figure 1,

  • la figure 8 est une vue analogue à la figure 1 d'une variante de réalisation, et
  • la figure 9 est une coupe transversale, partielle et schématique, selon IX-IX de la figure 8.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following detailed description, non-limiting examples of implementation thereof, and on examining the appended drawing, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic front view of an example of a comb made in accordance with the invention;
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-section, partial and schematic, along II-II of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a cross section, partial and schematic, along III-III of FIG. 1,

  • FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIG. 1 of an alternative embodiment, and
  • FIG. 9 is a cross section, partial and schematic, along IX-IX of FIG. 8.

Le peigne 1 représenté à la figure 1 comporte une succession 4 de dents régulières 2 et de dents 3 portant un crochet 5, cette succession 4 s'étendant généralement selon un axe X, rectiligne dans l'exemple considéré. Au moins une dent ne forme pas un crochet, le peigne comportant par exemple au moins deux dents dépourvues de crochet.The comb 1 represented in FIG. 1 comprises a succession 4 of teeth 2 and 3 teeth carrying a hook 5, this succession 4 generally extending along an X axis, rectilinear in the example considered. At least one tooth does not form a hook, the comb comprising for example at least two teeth devoid of hook.

Le peigne 1 comporte encore, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1, un manche 6 allongé selon un axe longitudinal Y, perpendiculaire à l'axe X dans l'exemple considéré. The comb 1 further comprises, as can be seen in Figure 1, a handle 6 lying along a longitudinal axis Y, perpendicular to the X axis in the example.

Les dents 2 et 3 ont des bases 7 qui sont alignées selon l'axe X dans l'exemple illustré et qui se raccordent à un cadre 8 solidaire dans sa partie centrale 19 du manche 6.The teeth 2 and 3 have bases 7 which are aligned along the X axis in the example illustrated and which are connected to a frame 8 integral in its central portion 19 of the handle 6.

L'ensemble du peigne 1 est réalisé par exemple d'une seule pièce par moulage de matière plastique, mais on ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention lorsque d'autres matériaux, par exemple des métaux, sont utilisés.The assembly of the comb 1 is made for example in one piece by molding plastic material, but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention when other materials, for example metals, are used.

On peut voir sur la figure 3 que les dents régulières 2 s'étendent selon un plan P qui peut faire un angle aigu non nul α avec l'axe longitudinal Y du manche 6, cet angle α étant par exemple compris entre 5 et 45°.It can be seen in FIG. 3 that the regular teeth 2 extend according to a plane P which can make a non-zero acute angle α with the longitudinal axis Y of the handle 6, this angle α being for example between 5 and 45 °.

Le cadre 8 peut s'étendre dans le plan du manche 6 comme dans l'exemple illustré, ou en variante dans le plan P en formant un angle avec le manche dans sa région centrale 9.The frame 8 can extend in the plane of the handle 6 as in the example illustrated, or alternatively in the plane P forming an angle with the handle in its region Central 9.

Le cas échéant, comme illustré sur la figure 4, les dents 2 et 3 peuvent s'étendre parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal Y du manche 6.Where appropriate, as shown in Figure 4, teeth 2 and 3 may extend parallel to the longitudinal axis Y of the handle 6.

Les extrémités latérales 9 du cadre 8 ont de préférence la même orientation que les dents 2.The lateral ends 9 of the frame 8 preferably have the same orientation as the teeth 2.

Dans l'exemple considéré, les dents 3 s'étendent, tout comme les dents 2, selon le plan P et chaque crochet 5 s'étend tout entier d'un même côté du plan P, par exemple du côté de l'angle α comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2, étant dirigé à la fois vers la base du cadre 8 ainsi qu'en direction d'une même extrémité latérale 9 de celui-ci.In the example considered, the teeth 3 extend, just like the teeth 2, according to the plane P and each hook 5 extends entirely on the same side of the plane P, for example the side of the angle α as can be seen in Figure 2, being directed both towards the base of the frame 8 and towards the same side end 9 thereof.

Dans l'exemple considéré, chaque crochet 5 présente une forme généralement curviligne, étant en outre effilé en direction de son extrémité libre 10. Chaque crochet 5 peut être légèrement concave vers la dent 3 qui le porte.In the example considered, each hook 5 has a shape generally curvilinear, being further tapered toward its free end 10. Each hook 5 may be slightly concave towards the tooth 3 which carries it.

Lorsque le peigne 1 est observé de face comme sur les figures 1 et 7, l'extrémité libre 10 d'un crochet 5 peut s'étendre à une distance apparente h relativement faible du cadre 8, cette distance h correspondant par exemple à moins d'un quart de la longueur l de la dent 3 qui le porte.When the comb 1 is viewed from the front as in FIGS. 1 and 7, the free end 10 of a hook 5 can extend at a relatively small apparent distance h from the frame 8, this distance h corresponding, for example, to less than a quarter of the length l of the tooth 3 which carries it.

Le crochet 5 s'étendant hors du plan P, son extrémité libre 10 peut se situer, lorsqu'observée parallèlement au plan P comme sur la figure 2, à une distance apparente non nulle g de la dent 3 qui le porte.The hook 5 extending out of the plane P, its free end 10 can be located, when observed parallel to the plane P as in Figure 2, at an apparent distance not zero g of the tooth 3 which carries it.

Une longueur relativement importante du crochet 5 permet de lui conférer de la flexibilité, donc d'améliorer le confort en cas de contact avec le cuir chevelu, et permet également de retenir convenablement une mèche de cheveux. A relatively large length of the hook 5 makes it possible to confer flexibility, therefore to improve comfort in case of contact with the scalp, and allows also to properly retain a lock of hair.

L'écartement apparent d entre l'extrémité libre 10 d'un crochet 5 et la dent régulière 2 la plus proche, lorsque le peigne est observé de face comme sur les figures 1 et 7, peut correspondre par exemple sensiblement à l'écartement moyen e entre deux dents régulières 2, mesuré à leur sommet.The apparent spacing d between the free end 10 of a hook 5 and the nearest regular tooth 2, when the comb is viewed from the front as in FIGS. 1 and 7, can correspond for example substantially to the mean spacing e between two regular teeth 2, measured at their apex.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à des valeurs particulières pour h et d.Of course, the invention is not limited to particular values for h and d .

Les dents régulières 2 peuvent être groupées par exemple par paquets d'au moins trois dents, comme on peut le voir à la figure 1, ces paquets étant séparés par les dents 3 qui portent les crochets 5.The regular teeth 2 can be grouped for example in packets of at minus three teeth, as can be seen in Figure 1, these packets being separated by the teeth 3 carrying hooks 5.

Dans l'exemple considéré, au sein d'un groupe de dents 2, toutes les bases 7 des dents 2 sont disposées à intervalles réguliers selon l'axe X, mais il pourrait en être différemment sans que l'on sorte du cadre de la présente invention.In the example under consideration, within a group of teeth 2, all the bases 7 teeth 2 are arranged at regular intervals along the X axis, but it could be differently without departing from the scope of the present invention.

L'écartement f entre la base 7 d'une dent 3 et le groupe de dents 2 adjacent à l'extrémité libre 10 du crochet 5 peut correspondre par exemple à trois ou quatre fois environ l'écartement moyen e entre les extrémités libres de deux dents 2 au sein d'un groupe de dents 2, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 7.The spacing f between the base 7 of a tooth 3 and the group of teeth 2 adjacent to the free end 10 of the hook 5 may correspond, for example, to about three or four times the mean spacing e between the free ends of two teeth 2 within a group of teeth 2, as can be seen in Figure 7.

Dans l'exemple considéré, le peigne 1 comporte trois dents 3 munie chacune d'un crochet 5, mais le peigne pourrait en comporter un nombre différent.In the example considered, the comb 1 has three teeth 3 provided with each a hook 5, but the comb could have a different number.

Pour utiliser le peigne 1, on peut dans un premier temps peigner les cheveux avec les dents 2 et 3 orientées sensiblement perpendiculairement au cuir chevelu.To use the comb 1, we can first comb the hair with the teeth 2 and 3 oriented substantially perpendicular to the scalp.

Pour extraire des mèches, on peut poser les dents 2 et 3 sensiblement à plat contre la chevelure, comme illustré à la figure 5, et déplacer le peigne en tirant sur le manche 6 de telle manière que des mèches M s'engagent dans les crochets 5, de sorte qu'en soulevant ensuite le peigne, comme illustré à la figure 6, on peut isoler les mèches M prisonnières des crochets 5.To extract bits, teeth 2 and 3 can be laid flat against the hair, as shown in Figure 5, and move the comb by pulling on the 6 in such a way that the locks M engage in the hooks 5, so that then lifting the comb, as illustrated in Figure 6, can isolate the locks M trapped in hooks 5.

Les mèches M ainsi extraites peuvent être traitées par exemple par application d'un produit de coloration ou éclaircissant. Les mèches peuvent encore subir un traitement physique, par exemple par exposition à un rayonnement laser permettant de détruire la mélanine et de les décolorer.The locks M thus extracted can be processed for example by application a coloring or lightening product. The locks can still be treated physics, for example by exposure to laser radiation to destroy the melanin and discolor them.

Dans l'exemple des figures 8 et 9, le peigne 1 comporte deux séries de crochets 5' et 5" disposés respectivement de part et d'autre du plan P. Les crochets 5' et 5" peuvent être identiques ou différents comme c'est le cas dans l'exemple illustré. Les crochets 5" peuvent par exemple être plus courts que les crochets 5'. L'écartement entre deux crochets 5' adjacents peut être différent de l'écartement entre deux crochets 5" adjacents, ce qui peut permettre par exemple à l'utilisateur, selon le côté du peigne qu'il choisit d'appliquer contre la chevelure, de saisir un nombre plus ou moins grand de mèches de cheveux ou une quantité plus ou moins importante de cheveux par mèche, en fonction de l'écartement entre les crochets, de la taille et de la forme de ceux-ci.In the example of FIGS. 8 and 9, the comb 1 comprises two sets of hooks 5 'and 5 "respectively arranged on both sides of the plane P. The hooks 5' and 5" can be identical or different as is the case in the illustrated example. The For example, the 5 "hooks may be shorter than the 5 'hooks. two adjacent hooks 5 'may be different from the spacing between two hooks 5 " adjacent areas, which may allow the user, for example, depending on the side of the comb that chooses to apply against the hair, to seize a more or less large number of locks of hair or a greater or lesser amount of hair per hair, depending the distance between the hooks, the size and shape of the hooks.

Dans l'exemple de la figure 8, tous les crochets 5' sont dirigés vers une extrémité latérale 9 du cadre 8, tandis que les autres crochets 5" sont dirigés vers l'autre extrémité latérale 9 du cadre 8, les crochets 5' et 5" s'écartant du plan P, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 9.In the example of FIG. 8, all the hooks 5 'are directed towards a lateral end 9 of the frame 8, while the other hooks 5 "are directed towards the other lateral end 9 of the frame 8, the hooks 5 'and 5 "deviating from the plane P, as can be see Figure 9.

Dans une variante non illustrée, les crochets 5" s'étendent en écartement du plan P vers la même extrémité latérale 9 du cadre 8 que les crochets 5'.In a variant not shown, the hooks 5 "extend in spacing from the plane P to the same lateral end 9 of the frame 8 as the hooks 5 '.

Dans une autre variante non illustrée, le peigne peut comporter des crochets qui s'étendent dans le plan P en plus de crochets qui s'étendent hors du plan P.In another variant not illustrated, the comb may comprise hooks which extend in the plane P in addition to hooks which extend out of the plane P.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples qui viennent d'être décrits.Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples that have just been described.

En particulier, on peut donner au peigne une forme autre, et notamment la succession de dents peut s'étendre selon un axe X qui n'est plus rectiligne mais courbe, selon une courbure par exemple adaptée à celle du crâne.In particular, the comb can be given a different shape, and in particular the succession of teeth may extend along an axis X which is no longer rectilinear but curved, according to a curvature for example adapted to that of the skull.

Les dents 2 ou 3 peuvent également ne pas présenter toutes la même longueur ou la même forme.The teeth 2 or 3 may not all have the same length or the same form.

Le manche 6 peut être non rectiligne ou s'étendre généralement perpendiculairement aux bases des dents 2 et 3.The handle 6 may be non-rectilinear or generally extend perpendicular to the bases of teeth 2 and 3.

Dans toute la description, y compris les revendications, l'expression « comportant un » doit être comprise comme étant synonyme de « comportant au moins un », sauf si le contraire est spécifié.Throughout the description, including the claims, the expression "Comprising one" must be understood as being synonymous with "comprising at least a ", unless the opposite is specified.
