Device for treating the hair

Abstract

A device for treating the hair, in particular for curling the hair, including two hair treatment jaws that are movable relative to one another between a spaced-apart configuration for inserting hair to be treated between said jaws and a moved-together configuration for treating the hair, an external hair treatment member having at least one external surface for heating the hair, which extends over one of the two jaws towards the exterior of the two jaws, a thermal protection cover mounted removably by being clip-fastened on the device so as to at least partially cover the external heating surface, the cover having a recess configured to form a deformation zone of the cover when it is fitted on the device.

1 . A device for treating the hair, comprising:
 two hair treatment jaws that are movable relative to one another between a spaced-apart configuration for inserting hair to be treated between said jaws and a moved-together configuration for treating the hair,   an external hair treatment member having at least one external surface for heating the hair, which extends over one of the two jaws towards the exterior of the two jaws,   a thermal protection cover mounted removably by being clip-fastened on the device so as to at least partially cover the external heating surface, the cover having a recess configured to form a preferential deformation zone of the cover when it is fitted on the device.   
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , having two external treatment members that each extend over one of the jaws and each have at least one external hair heating surface extending over the respective jaw towards the exterior of the device, the device having two thermal protection covers that are mounted removably on the device and are each arranged on one of the two external heating surfaces so as to at least partially cover said external heating surface, each cover having a recess configured to form a preferential deformation zone of the cover when it is fitted on the device. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the or each cover covers the entire corresponding external heating surface by having a shape complementary to that of the corresponding external heating surface. 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover extends along a longitudinal axis, said recess being elongate along a direction forming a non-zero angle with the longitudinal axis of the cover. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover has a gripping protrusion extending from the external surface of the cover when it is mounted on the jaw. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover and the jaw have complementary reliefs for fastening the cover to the jaw. 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover is symmetric with respect to a longitudinal median plane. 
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 1 , having on the or each jaw an external hair guiding portion delimited laterally in the proximal and/or distal part of the jaw by a stop surface. 
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover has a thickness of between 0.5 mm and 2 mm. 
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 1 , having at least one internal treatment member having an internal surface for heating the hair to be treated, which extends over one of the two jaws towards the other of the jaws in the moved-together configuration of the two jaws and is configured to come into contact with the hair extending between the two jaws in the moved-together configuration thereof.
