Abstract

Device ( 1 ) for the heat treatment of scalp hair ( 2 ) of a person ( 3 ), consisting of one first and one second heat radiator ( 11, 12 ), which are formed and arranged facing each other as a left side radiator ( 4 ) and as a right side radiator ( 5 ) to provide heat ( 6 ) to the side scalp hair ( 7 ), wherein the left side radiator ( 4 ) has one first ring-shaped infrared radiator ( 21 ) with one first shell ring reflector ( 22 ) and the right side radiator ( 5 ) has one second ring-shaped infrared radiator ( 21.1 ) with one second shell ring reflector ( 22.1 ), wherein at least one third heat radiator ( 13 ) is provided for heat treatment of the remaining scalp hair, wherein all heat radiators ( 11, 12, 13 ) are arranged in a so-called open design to provide for unlimited handling and observation of the scalp hair ( 2 ) and extensive visual freedom for the person ( 3 ) during the heat treatment, characterized in that the first shell ring reflector ( 22 ) of this type has at least one first infrared radiation screen ( 31 ) and the second shell ring reflector ( 22.1 ) has at least one second infrared radiation screen ( 32 ) arranged as symmetrical mirror images and on the radiation side, and characterized in that radiation intensity ( 35 ) in the area of the contour ( 36 ) of an average hairline is gently reduced in the direction of the face ( 37 ) of the person ( 3 ) ( FIG. 4 ).

Claims (19)

1. A device comprising:

(a) A left side radiator supported by a support arm, the left side radiator comprising:

(1) One first shell ring reflector comprising a radiation side and an interior edge and an exterior edge;

(2) One first ring-shaped infared radiator comprising a top infared radiator element half-ring and a bottom infared radiator element half-ring located in a symmetrical mirror image around an angle γ of approximately 25 degrees with respect to a horizontal W of the left side radator when viewed from the radiator side of the left side radiator; the half-rings can be controlled, independently from one another wherein the top infrared radiator element half-ring is actuated with approximately 70% of 125 Watts and the bottom infrared radiator element half-ring is actuated with approximately 30% of 125 Watts;

(3) One first infared radiation screen with a width E; the first infared radiation screen comprising an upper right-side 40 degree angle segment that starts at approximately 20 degrees α 1 and continues to approximately 55 degrees α 2 , starting from a vertical S of the left side radiator and going clockwise when viewed from the radiator side of the left side radiator;

(4) One third infared radiation screen with a width F; the third infared radiation screen comprising a left-side 30 degree angle segment that starts at approximately 175 degrees β 1 and continues to approximately 205 degrees β 2 , starting with a vertical S of the left side radiator in a clockwise direction when viewed from the radiator side of the left side radiator;

wherein the one first infared radiation screen and the one third infared radiation screen are connected to the interior edge of the first shell reflector by a clamp and connected to the exterior edge of the first shell ring reflector by a bridge and a clamp;

(5) a cover located on the radiator side of the left side radiator;

(b) a right side radiator supported by a support arm, the right side radiator comprising:

(1) One second shell ring reflector comprising a radiation side and an interior edge and an exterior edge;

(2) One second ring-shaped infared radiator comprising a top infared radiator element half-ring and a bottom infared radiator element half-ring located in a symmetrical mirror image around an angle γ of approximately 25 degrees with respect to a horizontal W of the right side radator when viewed from the radiator side of the right side radiator; the half-rings can be controlled, independently from one another wherein the top infrared radiator element half-ring is actuated with approximately 70% of 125 Watts and the bottom infrared radiator element half-ring is actuated with approximately 30% of 125 Watts;

(3) One second infared radiation screen with a width E; the second infared radiation screen comprising an upper right-side 40 degree angle segment that starts at approximately 20 degrees α 1 and continues to approximately 55 degrees α 2 , starting from a vertical S of the right side radiator and going clockwise when viewed from the radiator side of the right side radiator;

(4) One fourth infared radiation screen with a width F; the fourth infared radiation screen comprising a left-side 30 degree angle segment that starts at approximately 175 degrees β 1 and continues to approximately 205 degrees β 2 , starting with a vertical S of the right side radiator in a clockwise direction when viewed from the radiator side of the right side radiator;

wherein the one second infared radiation screen and the one fourth infared radiation screen are connected to the interior edge of the second shell reflector by a clamp and connected to the exterior edge of the second shell ring reflector by a bridge and a clamp;

(5) a cover on the radiator side of the right side radiator;

(c) at least one third heat radiator arranged between the left side radiator and the right side radiator such that an open design results.

2. A device according to claim 1 , wherein a third or a fourth infrared radiation screen ( 33 , 34 ) has a width (F) extending from an interior edge ( 8 ) of the first or the second shell ring reflector ( 22 , 22 . 1 ) up to approximately between the first or second ring-shaped infrared radiator ( 21 , 21 . 1 ) and an exterior edge ( 9 ) of the first or the second shell ring reflector ( 22 22 . 1 )

3. A device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the heat radiators ( 11 - 15 ) has the design of a round pot ( 20 ), which has a diameter (D) of approximately 9.8 in (250 mm).

4. A device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the heat radiators ( 11 - 15 ) further comprises a fan ( 23 ).
