HAIR BRUSH HAVING DETACHABLE HANDLE PART AND BRUSH PART Technical Field

The invention relates to the hair brushes used to shape the women hair at places such as homes, hair dresser, beauty centers. The invention especially relates to a hair brush which allows the usage of the handle part and the brush part in an attachable and detachable manner optionally.

Prior Art The hair brushes are used to shape the women hair in prior art. The permanence of the hair shape given by the hair dresser is very important. But hair dressers encounter with some problems to shape the hair and to protect the hair shape currently. The permanence of the hair shape, especially at thin and weak hair, can not be provided in a long time. So that some methods are presently applied to give the permanent waves or volume to the hair. These methods and the problems encountered during the methods are applied as follows.

One of the present method is mizampl application. This method is applied by separating the hair in pinches and wrapping around the metal cylinders called "mizampl". Lastly the wrapped hair is waited in a mizampl machine at a high temperature for 30-40 minutes. However, because of the wrapping process is made on a cylinder having rubbed surface, it is a difficult and skillful process. Further that, this method is an expensive method wherein the hair is waited in a machine at high temperatures for a long time and the heaters have high electric consumption. Another disadvantage is damage of the hair because of the hair is waited in high temperatures.

Presently another method used for shaping the hair is to wait the hair, which is wrapped by many brushes, during the fohn process. This process is the most frequently used method and bring about some disadvantages. These disadvantages are listed as follows.

> A discomfort sense occurs in the head due to the weight of the brushes wrapped onto the hair.

> The hair brushes do not remain on the hair correctly due to the weight of the hair brush and the length of the brush handle waiting on the hair. The gravity centre of the hair brush changes depending on the motion of the head, so that hair brushes slide on the hair due to unbalance of the brush handles and the brush weight.

> The woman comes to hair dresser for the shaping her hair and another processes (manicure, pedicure, makeup etc.) are further applied together with the hair shaping process. The hair brushes on the hair frequently slide or fall down during these processes. So that the hair can not be shaped in a desired model.

> During the fohn and the wrapping process, the length of the brush handles limits the workability on the hair especially on the side parts of the head. Another known method is hair ball application. The fohn process is applied on the hair with the hair brushes to shape the hair, after this process the hair is wrapped on the cylinders which are lighter than the brushes and which do not slide and do not weight on the hair. The wrapping process with hair balls brings about some solutions to the above-mentioned disadvantages, however hair ball application is a second process (extra process) after the first fohn process made with the hair brushes and many hair balls necessity causes extra high costs.

In prior art the other problem relates to the brush handle. Although there are lots of hair brushes in the hairdresser salons, there is only one hair brush which matches to the hand of the hair dresser. The hair dresser has problems, if he/she works with the unused hair brushes.

There is a similar application TR200700738U publication numbered Utility Model Certificate in Turkey in the literature search, which also belongs to Tamer MERCAN, relates to a hair brush which allows the usage of the handle part and the brush part in a attachable and detachable manner optionally. Said hair brush which allows the usage of the handle part and the brush part in an attachable and detachable manner optionally. The male extension on the handle part enters into the female recess on the brush part. The interlock between two parts is provided by a metal spring positioned on the male extension and a metal ball which is in connection with the metal spring. In the clamping position metal ball sits onto the slot inside the female recess and provides the connection of the handle part and the brush part. When it is desired to disconnect two parts from each other, a button which is positioned on the female recess is pressed, said metal ball moves down and the metal ball exits from the female recess by overcoming the force of the flexible metal spring. Thanks to this, two parts diverge by pressing a button. However the mechanism consisting of a metal ball and a metal spring can not provide the interlocking of two parts completely in some situations and a weak interlocking occurs. The negative sides of this invention can be ordered as follows; the metal spring losses its flexibility in time, the desired interlocking can not be provided from one point by the usage of a metal spring and a metal ball, the interlocking comes to free position in unwilled manner. So that a new connection mechanism, which is more resistant and durable, is needed which allows the usage of the two parts in an attachable and detachable manner optionally.

The Object of the Invention

The present invention relates to a hair brush which allows the usage of the handle part and the brush part in an attachable and detachable manner optionally.

The main object of the invention is, the diverging of the handle part and the brush part is provided while fohn is applied to the hair after wrapping of each pinch hair to the brush and the brush part remains on the hair like a hair ball and the hair is shaped. There will not be any destabilizing and weighting handle on the hair, so that any discomfort sense will not be occurred on the head part.

Another object of the invention is to continue the application by attaching a new brush to the handle part which has been just detached from a brush. So that it is applied to whole hair without a second process and an extra cost. The product cost is decreased by using only one handle which can be mounted and demounted to/from many brushes.

Another object of the invention is, the hair remains in the desired shape in long time and the voluminous hair is obtained. Effective working occasion is provided by the hair dresser uses the handle which matches to the hand of the hair dresser by only changing the brush part regardless of the hair length, the hair structure and the hair shape.

The invention relates to a hair brush (A), used to shape the women hair at places such as homes, hair dresser, beauty centers, which allows the usage of the handle part (1 ) and the brush part (2) in an attachable and detachable manner optionally.

While the hair brush (A) of the invention is in normal position, namely in mounted position, the views from different perspectives are given in Figure 1 , Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4. The handle part (1 ) and the brush part (2) of the hair brush (A) are in demounted position, the views from different perspectives are given in Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7.

As it seen in Figure 8 and Figure 9, the handle part (1 ) and the brush part (2) of the hair brush (A) consist of different parts.

The handle part (1 ) comprises a body (1 .1 ) having a body space (1 .1 .1 ) at its middle region. A fixing part (1 .2) is placed into the body space (1 .1 .1 ) from the upper side of the body (1 .1 ). A stepped form (1 .2.1 ) formed around the fixing part (1 .2) sits on the upper surface of the body (1 .1 ). A fastening gap (1 .2.2) is formed at the upper-middle region of the fixing part (1 .2). Two pin holes (1 .2.3) are mutually formed on the outer side surface of the fixing part (1 .2) wherein the pin holes (1 .2.3) are formed like cocoon channels and have inclined form. The pin holes (1 .2.3) have an inclination which increases upwardly from the outer surface of the fixing part (1 .2) to its center. There are preferably two pins (1 .3) inside the pin holes (1 .2.3). The pins (1 .3) provide the attachable and the detachable of the handle part (1 ) and the brush part (2) optionally in a manner that the pins (1 .3) move through the pin holes (1 .2.3) in inward and upward directions. A ring groove (1 .2.4) is formed at the upper side of the fixing part (1 .2). The connection of a tensile part (1 .5) to the fixing part (1 .2) is provided by a ring (1 .6) placed into the ring groove (1 .2.4) as it seen in Figure 7. Another function of the ring (1 .6) is that it limits the upward motion of the tensile part (1 .5) on the fixing part (1 .2). As it seen in Figure 8, a metal spring (1 .4) is used which sits on the upper side of the stepped form (1 .2.1 ) of the fixing part (1 .2) by engaging it over the fixing part (1 .2). The upper end of the spring (1 .4) is in connection with the pins (1 .3) and the spring (1 .4) applies pressure to hold the pins (1 .3) inside the pin holes (1 .2.3) consistently.

The tensile part (1 .5) mounted onto the fixing part (1 .2) by the ring (1 .6), protects the parts of the clamping mechanism from the outer effects. Further that the tensile part (1 .5) applies pressure onto the pins (1 .3) by pulling down when the handle part (1 ) and the brush part (2) to be detachable from each other and consequently it provides the function of the outward motion of the pins (1 .3) inside the pin holes (1 .2.3).

The brush part (2) comprises a body (2.1 ), an upper cover (2.2) placed on the body (2.1 ) and a connection part (2.3) mounted to the lower side of the body (2.1 ). The connection part (2.3) has an extension (2.3.1 ) which slides into the fastening gap (1 .2.2) of the fixing part (1 .2). A pin positioning slot (2.3.1 .1 ) is formed on the said extension (2.3.1 ). When the handle part (1 ) and the brush part (2) are attached to each other, the pins (1 .3) slides into the pin positioning slot (2.3.1 .1 ) on the extension (2.3.1 ). So that the handle part (1 ) and the brush part (2) are interlocked to each other.

When it is desired to separate the handle part (1 ) and the brush part (2) from each other, the tensile part (1 .5) is pulled down towards the handle part (1 ). After that, a protrusion on the inner surface of the tensile part, applies pressure downwardly and the pins (1 .3) move outwardly along the pin holes (1 .2.3) and in this way the pins (1 .3) go out from the pin positioning slot (2.3.1 .1 ) on the extension (2.3.1 ). Thanks to this, the interlocking between the handle part (1 ) and the brush part (2) is eliminated.

As the handle part (1 ) and the brush part (2) are interlocked to each other, the extension (2.3.1 ) is penetrated to the fastening gap (1 .2.2) of the fixing part (1 .2). After this, the pins (1 .3) which are in connection with the spring (1 .4) and inside the pin holes (1 .2.3), are moved outwardly in a slow manner and after that, they lean to the pin positioning slot (2.3.1 .1 ) on the extension (2.3.1 ) by means of the tensile force of the spring (1 .4) and the interlocking is provided. Edge with radius/chamfer (2.3.1 .2) formed on the lower surface of the extension (2.3.1 ) facilitates the pins (1 .3) to be pushed outwardly.
