Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a hair curler including a base body including a center portion being designed and arranged for winding up human hair to attain curls. More particularly, the present invention relates to a hair curler including thermochromic substances for indicating temperatures by a color change.
- a hair curler is known from German Patent Application No. DE 198 43 800 A1.
- the known hair curler includes a base body preferably being made of plastic and being surrounded by a cover made of plastic foam.
- the cover made of plastic foam may include a thermochromic substance which indicates a temperature by a color change during a temperature increase.
- Hair curlers of various shapes and designs are also known from German Patent Application No. DE 102 41 772 A1 corresponding to US Patent Application No. US 2004/0045573 A1, German Patent Application No. DE 199 18 742 A1 corresponding to US Patent Application No. US 200210129830 A1 and German Patent Application No. DE 37 13 280 A1. These hair curlers do not include a thermochromic substance.
- the present invention relates to a hair curler for winding up human hair.
- the hair curler includes a base body including a center portion being designed and arranged to support hair to be wound up.
- the hair curler includes a first thermochromic substance being designed and arranged to indicate a first temperature during a temperature increase of the hair curler within a first temperature range by a first color change.
- the hair curler includes a second thermochromic substance being designed and arranged to indicate a lower second temperature during a temperature decrease of the hair curler within a lower second temperature range by a second color change.
- the novel hair curler allows the user of the hair curler to easily make the correct decision when to stop blow-drying and how long to keep the hair curler in place before removing it.
- the novel hair curler is especially suitable for use at home.
- the novel hair curler may also be used by professionals in hairdresser's shops.
- a problem during use of known hair curlers is the determination of the period of time during which the hair curler needs to be kept in place at the head after having wound up the hair.
- the next step after winding up is blow-drying taking place over a certain period of time and under a temperature increase of the wound up hair and of the hair curler. This step serves to ensure stability of the curl.
- a cooling down period follows blow-drying. Cooling down is to be understood as a period of time during which the hair curler simply stays in place at the head until it reaches the desired cooler temperature. After the hair has cooled down, the unwinding process begins to attain permanently deformed curls of the desired shape. If the unwinding process is started too early, there is the danger of the shape of the curls being destroyed and being negatively influenced, respectively.
- the novel hair curler includes a base body or a different portion including a first thermochromic substance and a second thermochromic substance.
- These thermochromic substances may be incorporated in the material of the base body such that the entire base body includes the thermochromic substances. However, it is also possible to only apply the thermochromic substances to a part of the base body. It is even possible to use the thermochromic substances at an element of the hair curler other than the base body, for example at a contact strip surrounding the base body or at a transverse pin serving to fix the base body to the head.
- the thermochromic substances may also be designed as coatings being applied to at least a part of the base body or to a different part of the hair curler.
- thermochromic substances preferably are located at a part of the base body or of a different part of the hair curler which can be easily seen with the eye after having wound up hair. Consequently, especially the end portions of the base body are suitable for this purpose since these are the portions which are not covered by hair, but by which the hair curler is handled after having wound up the hair. It is also sufficient if only one of these end portions is covered with the thermochromic substances and the thermochromic plastic materials, respectively. It is also possible to arrange the first thermochromic substance in a first end portion of the hair curler and to arrange the second thermochromic substance in the second end portion of the hair curler. In this way, one end portion indicates the desired temperature during blow-drying, and the other end portion indicates the desired temperature during cooling down of the hair. The end portions may be designated in this way for easier handling by the user, for example by an inscription or a label.
- thermochromic substances The choice of the specific thermochromic substances depends on the temperature and the temperature range, respectively, during which the occurring color changes are desired. It is to be understood that these substances mostly change their color within a certain temperature range and not exactly at a specific temperature in a “digital” way. For example, during heating of the hair curler during blow-drying, it makes sense to choose the first thermochromic substance such that the color change occurs within a temperature range of the curl and of the hair curler, respectively, of approximately between 40° C. to 60° C. This temperature range usually corresponds to a blow-drying time of 2 to 3 minutes. In other words, it is common that approximately 50° C. are reached at the hair curler after 2 to 3 minutes.
- the first color change is used during a temperature increase to indicate when the temperature has been reached at which it makes sense to stop blow-drying to prevent temperatures which are too high and which possibly result in damages of the hair.
- the second thermochromic substance causing the second color change becomes effective during a temperature decrease as it makes sense to indicate a lower temperature at the ending of the period of time during which the hair cools down.
- thermochromic plastic is added to improve handling of blow-drying.
- the second thermochromic plastic is used to improve handing during cooling down. In this way, the ending of both processes is clearly indicated to the user by and color change easily visible with the eye.
- the base body may include approximately between 2% to 6%, especially approximately 4%, of each of the two thermochromic plastic materials.
- the thermochromic plastic materials may be mixed with the base material of the base body.
- Suitable materials for producing the base body are plastic materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, acrylic styrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, and the like. These materials may be used for base bodies being produced by injection molding as well as for base bodies being made of a respective plastic foam.
- the plastic foams may be especially polyethylene foam, ethylene vinyl acetate foam, polyurethane foam, polyether amide block copolymer foam, polyester amide block copolymer foam and polyether foam.
- materials including approximately 92% of polypropylene and 8% of thermochromic substances have shown positive results.
- the thermochromic substances may be made of approximately 82% of polypropylene and approximately 18% of microencapsulated thermochromic substances.
- the thermochromic substances may also be polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and the like.

- the hooks 6 of the two hook bands 5 of the two fixing portions 4 engage the hair at the hair line close to the scalp 9 such that the hair curler 1 attains its predetermined fixed position close to the scalp 9 . Due to the increase of the diameter of the smaller diameter of the center portion 3 compared to the greater diameter of the fixing portions 4 , one attains room for a certain winding thickness of the curl 10 . Despite this fact, due to the increased diameter of the fixing portions 4 , there is the possibility of maintaining the fixed position at the head 8 even when this has a round design in many portions.
- the wound up hair forming the curl 10 at the hair line are not bent, but they can instead extend between the root of the hair and the winding location at the circumference of the curl 10 in a radial position with respect to the head 8 having a positive influence on the full design of the curl 10 .
- this winding end position there still is a free space allowing for passage of air such that the portion of the curl 10 facing the scalp 9 can also be aerated and dried after having wound up the hair in their wet condition.

- the connection may be realized by gluing or by a snap fit.
- the rings 17 then form the fixing portions 4 , and they realize the increase of the diameter compared to the center portion 3 .
- the center portion 3 may include a ribbing 18 to simplify connection of the hair at the beginning of the winding process.
- the ratio of the diameters and of the lengths is chosen to differ from the above described embodiment.
- the hair curler 1 has a comparatively small size.
- the increase of the diameter is also smaller compared to the embodiment of the hair curler 1 illustrated
- the base body 2 of the hair curl 1 is made of a material 19 .
- the material 19 is plastic. Suitable kinds of plastic are polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, acrylic styrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, and the like, or a respective plastic foam.
