Hand-Held Hair Straightener with a Cosmetic Product Distribution System

Abstract

Provided is a hand-held hair styling device consisting of hair shaping or styling mechanism, with at least one hair treatment zone, which is at least partly mobile, cosmetic product distribution mechanism including product application mechanism located in or near hair treatment zone, and feed line to supply application mechanism from cosmetic product reservoir, including at least one pump; where the device consists of two jaws which are connected by a hinge to move between an open and closed position, which create working surfaces forming hair shaping mechanism and hair treatment zone when the jaws are closed, electrical heating mechanism of treatment area and where the pump is operated by the movements of jaws or working surfaces relative to one another.

1 . A hand-held hair styling device consisting of:
 a hair shaping or styling mechanism with at least one hair treatment zone which is at least partly mobile;   a cosmetic product distribution mechanism with:   a product application mechanism located in or near the hair treatment zone, and   a feed line communicating between the application mechanism and a cosmetic product reservoir, including at least one pump,   said hair styling device further including:   two jaws connected by a hinge to move between open and closed positions, said jaws include working surfaces, which form the hair shaping mechanism and create the hair treatment zone when the jaws are closed, and include a heating electrical mechanism of the treatment area, and wherein   the pump is operated by movements of jaws or working surfaces against one another.   
     
     
         2 . The hair styling device based on  claim 1  in which each of the at least one pump consists of:
 a flexible body which creates a pumping chamber, and 
 at least one pressure organ operated by movement of hair shaping or styling mechanism designed to press intermittently or continuously against a flexible body. 
 
     
     
         3 . The hair styling device based on  claim 2  in which the flexible body is made of flexible elastic. 
     
     
         4 . The hair styling device based  claim 1  in which the distribution mechanism includes the cosmetic product reservoir located upstream from each pump. 
     
     
         5 . The hair styling device based on  claim 4  in which the distribution mechanism includes at least one anti-return valve between the cosmetic product reservoir and pump designed to allow cosmetic product movement from the reservoir to the pump. 
     
     
         6 . The hair styling device based on  claim 4  in which the distribution mechanism includes at least one anti-return valve between the pump and the application mechanism designed to allow cosmetic product movement from the pump to the application mechanism. 
     
     
         7 . The hair styling device based on  claim 4  in which the reservoir is removable. 
     
     
         8 . The hair styling device based on  claim 4  in which the distribution mechanism includes at least one opening to refill the reservoir. 
     
     
         9 . The hair styling device of  claim 1  which includes an electrical mechanism to blow air toward the treatment area. 
     
     
         10 . The hair styling device based on  claim 1  which includes an electrical heating mechanism attached to at least one of the working surfaces. 
     
     
         11 . The hair styling device based on  claim 1  which includes an activation mechanism for each pump which is designed to activate each pump after a predetermined number of consecutive opening and closing movements of the jaws. 
     
     
         12 . The hair styling device based on  claim 1  in which the working surfaces are flat or curved in forms which essentially complement one another.
