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 connector. Such elements are already known in various variants. The legs of the U-profile are usually parallel to each other and straight; the connecting bridge is either straight or curved. In such an element, the ends of foreign hair are embedded, u zw either in the legs or only in the web or both in the web and in the legs. This is done, for example, by brushing with or dipping the hair in the softened plastic with subsequent pressing in a mold. A prefabrication of the hair connection element with subsequent pressing of the foreign hair ends is also known. In the application of a provided with the U-shaped, thermoplastic hair connector Fremdhaarsträhne on human head a Eigenhaarsträhne is inserted with the hair ends between the legs of the U-profile and this then by ultrasound or by means of a Heizpinzette or the like heated and compressed, so that a hot melt adhesive bond arises, whose shape 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.Experiences in the use of such U-shaped hair fasteners have shown that in the course of hot melt adhesive the own hair, but also the foreign hair, are often not sufficiently or completely sheathed, which is why it comes especially when combing to a replacement 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 connector, which does not have the mentioned disadvantage, thus ensuring an optimal hot melt adhesive connection.

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

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.Through the intermediate wall not only a total of a larger amount of material for the fusion bonding is provided, but also in a local area, which was free of material in the previously known U-shaped hair tie elements. The penetration the hair voids or the sheath of the foreign and own hairs to be connected is thereby improved.

Die Zwischenwand kann als Längswand, was jedoch nicht Teil der Erfindung ist, 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 not part of the invention, which extends substantially parallel to the legs of the U-profile and protrudes from the web. In such a longitudinal wall, in addition to the legs and / or the web of the U-profile and foreign hairs can be embedded with their ends, so that a denser strand of foreign hair per hot melt can be applied.

Erfindungsgemäß kann die Querwand so ausgeführt sein, daß sie 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.According to the invention, the transverse wall can be designed so that it extends substantially transversely to the legs and perpendicular to the web of the U-profile and connects them together. In this case, each transverse wall is exposed during the compression of the hair connection element during the fusion bonding a relatively stronger pressure, 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.Particularly preferred is an embodiment in which at least two intermediate walls are provided, of which at least one as between the legs of the U-profile substantially parallel and projecting from the web longitudinal wall and at least one connecting the legs and perpendicular to the web transverse wall 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 beyond the legs. This is because in the application of the provided with the hair connector strand of foreign hair on the human head a split own strand of hair is inserted on both sides of each longitudinal wall in the U-profile. During the subsequent compression of the hair connection element, the protruding longitudinal wall predominantly contributes to the closing of the initially open U-profile, which results in a very secure fusion bonding.

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, however, should be surmounted by the legs of the U-profile, so that the own hairs can be safely inserted between the legs and guided by these in the application of foreign strand of hair.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand von in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. Es zeigen Fig. 1 ein nicht erfindungsgemäßes U-förmiges, thermoplastisches Haarverbindungselement, Fig. 2 ein weiteres nicht erfindungsgemässes Haarverbindungselement mit bereits eingebetteten Fremdhaaren sowie die Fig. 3 und 4 erfindungsgemässe Ausführungsformen des Haarverbindungselementes mit eingebettem Fremdhaar.The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawing. 1 shows a non-inventive U-shaped, thermoplastic hair connector, Fig. 2 shows a further not according to the invention hair connector with already embedded foreign hair and Figs. 3 and 4 inventive embodiments of the hair connection 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 connection element 1 according to FIG. 1 has two parallel legs 2, which are connected by a web 3, which is bent approximately semicircular, for example. From the web 3 is designed as a longitudinal wall 4 intermediate wall, which runs parallel to the legs 2 and projects beyond this. In the legs 2, the web 3 and the longitudinal wall 4 foreign hair (not shown) can be embedded with their ends either in the course of production of the hair connection element 1 or in a separate operation. In the application of such, provided with a Fremdhaarsträhne hair connector 1 on the human head a Eigenhaarsträhne (not shown) is inserted into the spaces between the legs 2 and the longitudinal wall 4. Thereafter, the hair connection element 1 is deformed with or without heat, resulting in a fusion bonding of the foreign and the own hairs. The pressure is applied primarily to the web and the projecting longitudinal wall, so that the latter usually flows to both sides and the own hair well surrounds.

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.In Fig. 2, a hair connector 5 is shown with already embedded foreign hair 6, which has two longitudinal walls 4 between legs 2 and the web 3 is straight. The foreign hairs 6 are each pressed with their ends in the legs 2 and the longitudinal walls 4. The application of the hair connection element 5 takes place as described above with respect to the hair connection element 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.Fig. 3 shows a hair connector 7 with three designed as transverse walls 8 partitions. Each transverse wall 8 stands approximately perpendicularly from the web 3 and connects the two legs 2. The legs 2 project beyond the transverse walls 8; the web 3 is, for example, substantially straight with rounded transitions to the legs 2. Again, already embedded foreign hairs 6 are shown, which are located with their ends in the legs 2 and the web 3. In the application, the self-hair ends (not shown) with respect to FIG. 3 are inserted into the U-profile from above approximately parallel to the foreign hairs 6, so that they rest on the front side of the transverse walls 8. Then, the compression (pressure with or without the influence of temperature) of the hair connection element 7, whereby the melt adhesion is effected, wherein the transverse walls 8 are made relatively strong to flow and so encase the 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.Finally, FIG. 4 shows a hair connection element 9 which has both a longitudinal wall 4 and, for example, three transverse walls 8. The foreign hairs have been embedded in this embodiment, for example, only in the legs 2 and in the longitudinal wall 4, but not in the web 3. The application of this hair connection element 9 takes place as already described. The obtainable melt bonding combines the advantages of longitudinal and transverse walls 4 and 8, respectively.
