Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein U-förmiges, thermoplastisches Haarverbindungselement. Solche Elemente sind in verschiedensten Varianten bereits bekannt. Die Schenkel des U-Profils sind dabei üblicherweise parallel zueinander und gerade; der sie verbindende Steg ist entweder gerade oder gebogen. In ein solches Element werden die Enden von Fremdhaaren eingebettet, u zw entweder in die Schenkel oder nur in den Steg oder sowohl in den Steg als auch in die Schenkel. Dies erfolgt zB durch Bestreichen mit dem oder Eintauchen der Haare in den erweichten Kunststoff mit anschließendem Verpressen in einer Form. Eine Vorfabrizierung des Haarverbindungselementes mit anschließendem Einpressen der Fremdhaarenden ist ebenfalls bekannt. Bei der Applikation einer mit dem U-förmigen, thermoplastischen Haarverbindungselement versehenen Fremdhaarsträhne am menschlichen Kopf wird eine Eigenhaarsträhne mit den Haarenden zwischen die Schenkel des U-Profils eingelegt und dieses sodann durch Ultraschall oder mittels einer Heizpinzette od dgl erwärmt und zusammengedrückt, so dass eine Schmelzklebeverbindung entsteht, deren Form von der Form der Greifelemente abhängt.The invention relates to a U-shaped, thermoplastic hair connecting element. Such elements are already known in a wide variety of variants. The thigh the U-profile are usually parallel to each other and straight; the one who connects them Bridge is either straight or curved. In such an element the ends of Foreign hair embedded, u zw either in the thigh or only in the web or both in the web as well as in the thighs. This is done, for example, by brushing with or dipping of the hair in the softened plastic with subsequent pressing in one Shape. A prefabrication of the hair connecting element with subsequent pressing the stranger is also known. When applying one with the U-shaped, thermoplastic hair connecting element provided foreign hair strand on human head becomes a strand of hair with the ends of the hair between the thighs of the U-profile and then inserted by ultrasound or with a pair of heating tweezers or the like heated and compressed so that a hot melt adhesive connection is formed, the shape of which depends on the shape of the gripping elements.

Erfahrungen bei der Verwendung solcher U-förmiger Haarverbindungselemente haben gezeigt, dass im Zuge der Schmelzklebung die Eigenhaare, aber auch die Fremdhaare, oft nicht genügend bzw. vollständig ummantelt werden, weshalb es insbesondere beim Kämmen zu einer Ablösung von Fremdhaaren kommt.Have experience using such U-shaped hair fasteners shown that in the course of hot melt bonding, the own hair, but also the foreign hair, often are not sufficiently or completely covered, which is why it is particularly useful when combing there is a detachment of foreign hair.

Ziel der Erfindung ist ein Haarverbindungselement, das den angeführten Nachteil nicht aufweist, also eine optimale Schmelzklebeverbindung gewährleistet.The aim of the invention is a hair fastener that does not have the disadvantage mentioned has, so an optimal hot melt adhesive connection guaranteed.

Dieses Ziel wird mit einem U-förmigen, thermoplastischen Haarverbindungselement erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, dass zwischen den Schenkeln des U-Profils wenigstens eine Zwischenwand vorgesehen ist.This goal is achieved according to the invention with a U-shaped, thermoplastic hair connecting element achieved in that at least one between the legs of the U-profile Partition wall is provided.

Durch die Zwischenwand wird nicht nur insgesamt eine größere Materialmenge für die Schmelzklebung zur Verfügung gestellt, sondern auch in einen örtlichem Bereich, der bei den bisher bekannten U-förmigen Haarverbindungselementen materialfrei war. Die Durchdringung der Haarzwischenräume bzw die Ummantelung der zu verbindenden Fremd- und Eigenhaare ist dadurch verbessert.The partition not only creates a larger amount of material for the overall Hot melt adhesive provided, but also in a local area, which at the previously known U-shaped hair fasteners was free of material. The penetration the spaces between the hairs or the sheathing of the foreign and Your own hair is improved.

Die Zwischenwand kann als Längswand ausgeführt sein, die im wesentlichen parallel zu den Schenkeln des U-Profils verläuft und von dessen Steg absteht. In eine derartige Längswand können zusätzlich zu den Schenkeln und/oder dem Steg des U-Profils auch Fremdhaare mit ihren Enden eingebettet werden, so dass pro Schmelzklebung eine dichtere Fremdhaarsträhne appliziert werden kann.The intermediate wall can be designed as a longitudinal wall which is substantially parallel to runs the legs of the U-profile and protrudes from its web. In one Longitudinal wall can also be in addition to the legs and / or the web of the U-profile Foreign hairs are embedded with their ends, so that one thicker per hot melt Strands of foreign hair can be applied.

Die Zwischenwand kann aber auch als Querwand ausgeführt sein, die im wesentlichen quer zu den Schenkeln und senkrecht auf den Steg des U-Profils verläuft und diese miteinander verbindet. Diesfalls wird jede Querwand im Zuge des Zusammenpressens des Haarverbindungselementes bei der Schmelzklebung einem relativ stärkeren Druck ausgesetzt, so dass der erweichte Kunststoff die einzelnen Haarenden besonders gut umgibt.The partition can also be designed as a transverse wall, which essentially runs perpendicular to the legs and perpendicular to the web of the U-profile and these together combines. In this case, each transverse wall in the course of compressing the hair connector exposed to a relatively higher pressure during hot melt bonding, so that the softened plastic surrounds the individual hair ends particularly well.

Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausführungsform, bei der wenigstens zwei Zwischenwände vorgesehen sind, von denen wenigstens eine als zwischen den Schenkeln des U-Profils im wesentlichen parallel verlaufende und von dessen Steg abstehende Längswand und wenigstens eine als die Schenkel verbindende und senkrecht auf den Steg stehende Querwand ausgeführt ist. Diese Ausführungsform kombiniert die Vorteile von Längs- und Querwänden.An embodiment is particularly preferred in which at least two partition walls are provided, of which at least one as between the legs of the U-profile in essentially parallel longitudinal wall projecting from its web and at least a transverse wall connecting the legs and standing perpendicular to the web is executed. This embodiment combines the advantages of longitudinal and transverse walls.

Es ist günstig, wenn jede Längswand die Schenkel überragt. Dies deshalb, weil bei der Applikation der mit dem Haarverbindungselement versehenen Fremdhaarsträhne am menschlichen Kopf eine geteilte Eigenhaarsträhne beidseits jeder Längswand in das U-Profil eingelegt wird. Beim anschließenden Zusammenpressen des Haarverbindungselementes trägt die vorspringende Längswand dominant zum Verschließen des zunächst offenen U-Profils bei, was eine sehr sichere Schmelzklebung ergibt.It is advantageous if each longitudinal wall projects over the legs. This is because at the Application of the foreign hair strand provided with the hair connecting element on human head a split strand of hair on both sides of each longitudinal wall in the U-profile is inserted. When the hair connecting element is subsequently pressed together the projecting longitudinal wall dominantly closes the initially open one U-profile, which results in a very secure hot melt bond.

Jede vorhandene Querwand sollte dagegen von den Schenkeln des U-Profils überragt werden, damit die Eigenhaare bei der Applikation der Fremdhaarsträhne sicher zwischen die Schenkel eingelegt und von diesen geführt werden können. Any existing transverse wall should, however, be surmounted by the legs of the U-profile, so that the own hair when applying the foreign hair strand between the Legs can be inserted and guided by these.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand von in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. Es zeigen Fig. 1 ein erfindungsgemäßes U-förmiges, thermoplastisches Haarverbindungselement, Fig. 2 eine weitere Ausführungsform dieses Haarverbindungselementes mit bereits eingebetteten Fremdhaaren sowie die Fig. 3 und 4 weitere Ausführungsformen des Haarverbindungselementes mit eingebettem Fremdhaar.The invention is described below with reference to exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing explained in more detail. 1 shows an inventive U-shaped, thermoplastic Hair connector, Fig. 2 shows another embodiment of this hair connector with foreign hair already embedded as well as FIGS. 3 and 4 more Embodiments of the hair connecting element with embedded foreign hair.

Das U-förmige, thermoplastische Haarverbindungselement 1 gemäß Fig. 1 weist zwei parallele Schenkel 2 auf, die durch einen Steg 3 verbunden sind, welcher zB etwa halbkreisförmig gebogen ist. Vom Steg 3 steht eine als Längswand 4 ausgeführte Zwischenwand ab, die parallel zu den Schenkeln 2 verläuft und diese überragt. In die Schenkel 2, den Steg 3 und die Längswand 4 können Fremdhaare (nicht dargestellt) mit ihren Enden entweder im Zuge der Fertigung des Haarverbindungselementes 1 oder in einem separaten Arbeitsgang eingebettet werden. Bei der Applikation eines derartigen, mit einer Fremdhaarsträhne versehenen Haarverbindungselementes 1 am menschlichen Kopf wird eine Eigenhaarsträhne (nicht dargestellt) in die Zwischenräume zwischen den Schenkeln 2 und der Längswand 4 eingelegt. Danach wird das Haarverbindungselement 1 mit oder ohne Wärmeeinwirkung deformiert, wodurch es zu einer Schmelzklebung der Fremd- mit den Eigenhaaren kommt. Der Druck wird dabei primär auf den Steg und die vorspringende Längswand aufgebracht, so dass letztere in der Regel nach beiden Seiten fließt und die Eigenhaare gut umfängt.The U-shaped, thermoplastic hair connecting element 1 according to FIG. 1 has two parallel ones Leg 2, which are connected by a web 3, which is approximately semicircular, for example is bent. An intermediate wall designed as a longitudinal wall 4 protrudes from the web 3, which runs parallel to and extends above the legs 2. In the leg 2, the web 3 and the longitudinal wall 4 can foreign hair (not shown) with their ends either in In the course of manufacturing the hair connecting element 1 or in a separate operation be embedded. When applying such a streak of foreign hair Hair connecting element 1 on the human head becomes a strand of hair (not shown) in the spaces between the legs 2 and the longitudinal wall 4th inserted. Thereafter, the hair connector 1 with or without heat deformed, which leads to a melt sticking of foreign hair with your own hair. The pressure is primarily applied to the web and the projecting longitudinal wall, so that the latter usually flows to both sides and embraces your own hair well.

In Fig. 2 ist ein Haarverbindungselement 5 mit bereits eingebetteten Fremdhaaren 6 dargestellt, das zwei Längswände 4 zwischen Schenkeln 2 aufweist und dessen Steg 3 gerade ist. Die Fremdhaare 6 sind jeweils mit ihren Enden in die Schenkel 2 und die Längswände 4 eingepreßt. Die Anwendung des Haarverbindungselementes 5 erfolgt wie vorhin in Bezug auf das Haarverbindungselement 1 beschrieben.2 shows a hair connecting element 5 with foreign hair 6 already embedded, which has two longitudinal walls 4 between legs 2 and whose web 3 is straight. The foreign hairs 6 are each with their ends in the legs 2 and the longitudinal walls 4th pressed. The application of the hair connecting element 5 is the same as before described on the hair connector 1.

Fig. 3 zeigt ein Haarverbindungselement 7 mit drei als Querwände 8 ausgeführten Zwischenwänden. Jede Querwand 8 steht dabei etwa senkrecht vom Steg 3 ab und verbindet die beiden Schenkel 2. Die Schenkel 2 überragen die Querwände 8; der Steg 3 ist zB im wesentlichen gerade mit abgerundeten Übergängen zu den Schenkeln 2. Wiederum sind bereits eingebettete Fremdhaare 6 gezeigt, die sich mit ihren Enden in den Schenkeln 2 und dem Steg 3 befinden. Bei der Applikation werden die Eigenhaarenden (nicht dargestellt) in Bezug auf Fig. 3 von oben etwa parallel zu den Fremdhaaren 6 in das U-Profil eingelegt, so dass sie auf der Stirnseite der Querwände 8 aufliegen. Dann erfolgt die Verpressung (Druck mit oder ohne Temperatureinwirkung) des Haarverbindungselementes 7, wodurch die Schmelzklebung zustande kommt, wobei die Querwände 8 relativ stark zum Fließen gebracht werden und so die Eigenhaare gut ummanteln.3 shows a hair connecting element 7 with three intermediate walls designed as transverse walls 8. Each transverse wall 8 is approximately perpendicular to the web 3 and connects the two legs 2. The legs 2 protrude beyond the transverse walls 8; the web 3 is, for example, in essentially straight with rounded transitions to the legs 2. Again Already embedded foreign hair 6 shown, which ends in the legs 2 and the web 3 are. In the application, the hair ends (not shown) in 3 inserted from above approximately parallel to the foreign hair 6 in the U-profile, so that they rest on the end face of the transverse walls 8. Then the pressing takes place (Pressure with or without exposure to temperature) of the hair connecting element 7, whereby the hot melt bond occurs, the transverse walls 8 being relatively strong for flowing brought and so coat your own hair well.

Fig. 4 zeigt schließlich ein Haarverbindungselement 9, das sowohl eine Längswand 4 als auch beispielsweise drei Querwände 8 aufweist. Die Fremdhaare sind bei dieser Ausführungsform zB nur in den Schenkeln 2 und in der Längswand 4, nicht jedoch in den Steg 3 eingebettet worden. Die Anwendung dieses Haarverbindungselementes 9 erfolgt wie bereits beschrieben. Die erhaltbare Schmelzklebung vereinigt die Vorteile von Längs- und Querwänden 4 bzw. 8.4 shows a hair connecting element 9, which has both a longitudinal wall 4 and also has, for example, three transverse walls 8. The foreign hair is in this embodiment For example, only in the legs 2 and in the longitudinal wall 4, but not in the web 3 been embedded. This hair connecting element 9 is used as already described. The hot melt bond that can be obtained combines the advantages of longitudinal and Transverse walls 4 and 8.
