Abstract

A device ( 1.1 ) for the radiation of scalp hair ( 2 ) using infrared radiation ( 10.3 ), wherein the infrared radiation ( 10.3 ) is generated by at least one linear-shaped infrared lamp ( 3.1 ) with a reflector system ( 4 ). In a first exemplary embodiment, a first reflector ( 6.1 ) is allocated to the infrared lamp ( 3.1 ) on the longitudinal side, wherein the infrared lamp ( 3.1 ) basically forms an optical collection line of the first reflector ( 6.1 ). The first reflector ( 6.1 ) with a first reflection side ( 9.1 ) and a second reflector ( 6.2 ) with a second reflection side ( 9.2 ) are placed facing each other, wherein the infrared lamp ( 3.1 ) is enclosed by the first and the second reflector ( 6.1, 6.2 ), by at least 360° altogether.

Claims (20)

1. A device for the radiation of scalp hair using indirect infrared radiation, wherein the indirect infrared radiation is generated by one linear-shaped infrared lamp with a reflector system, characterized in that

a first reflector ( 6 . 1 ) is allocated to the infrared lamp ( 3 . 1 ) on a longitudinal side, wherein the infrared lamp ( 3 . 1 ) basically forms an optical collection line of the first reflector ( 6 . 1 );

the first reflector ( 6 . 1 ) with a first reflection side ( 9 . 1 ) and a second reflector ( 6 . 2 ) with a second reflection side ( 9 . 2 ) are arranged facing one another;

the infrared lamp ( 3 . 1 ) is enclosed by the first and the second reflector ( 6 . 1 , 6 . 2 ), by at least 360° altogether;

a third reflector ( 6 . 3 ) is arranged with a third reflection side ( 9 . 3 );

a first infrared radiation output ( 10 . 1 ) of the first reflection side ( 9 . 1 ) impacts the second reflection side ( 9 . 2 ); and

a second infrared radiation output ( 10 . 2 ) of the second reflection side ( 9 . 2 ) impacts the third reflection side ( 9 . 3 )); wherein the second reflector ( 6 . 2 ) does not generate the second infrared radiation output ( 10 . 2 ); and

a third infrared radiation output ( 10 . 3 ) of the third reflection side ( 9 . 3 ) radiates to the scalp hair ( 2 ); wherein the third third reflector ( 6 . 3 ) does not generate the third infrared radiation output ( 10 . 3 )

wherein the device has a power consumer of 400 W.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first infrared lamp ( 3 . 1 ) basically forms a ring ( 5 ) and is held in place by the first reflector, and the second reflector ( 6 . 2 ) is basically designed like a ring.

3. A device for the radiation of scalp hair using indirect infrared radiation, wherein the indirect infrared radiation is generated by at least one linear-shaped infrared lamp with a reflector system, wherein

a fourth reflector ( 6 . 4 ) is allocated to the infrared lamp ( 3 . 2 ) on a longitudinal side, wherein the infrared lamp ( 3 . 2 ) basically forms an optical collection line of the fourth reflector ( 6 . 4 );

the fourth reflector ( 6 . 4 ) with a fourth reflection side ( 9 . 4 ) and a fifth reflector ( 6 . 5 ) with a fifth reflection side ( 9 . 5 ) are arranged facing one another;

the infrared lamp ( 3 . 2 ) is enclosed by the fourth and the fifth reflector ( 6 . 4 , 6 . 5 ), by at least 360° altogether;

a fourth infrared radiation output ( 10 . 4 ) of the fourth reflection side ( 9 . 4 ) impacts the fifth reflection side ( 9 . 5 ); and

a fifth infrared radiation output ( 10 . 5 ) of the fifth reflection side ( 9 . 5 ) radiates to the scalp hair ( 2 ); wherein the fifth reflector ( 6 . 4 ) does not generate the fifth infrared radiation output ( 10 . 5 )

wherein the device has a power consumer of 400 W.

4. The device according to claim 1 wherein the infrared lamp ( 3 . 2 ) and the fourth reflector ( 6 . 4 ) basically form a ring ( 5 . 1 ).

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the linear-shaped infrared lamp ( 3 . 1 , 3 . 2 ) comprises multiple straight-lined infrared lamps ( 3 . 1 , 3 . 2 ) in a row.

6. The device according to claim 3 , wherein, optionally, the fourth and fifth reflector 6 . 4 , 6 . 5 can be provided with the corresponding infrared lamp 3 . 2 in a suitable geometric arrangement as sections or sub-areas for radiating the scalp hair ( 2 ).
