The present invention relates to a hair treatment appliance () having a handle (), a functional head () which can be connected to the handle () and has a hair treatment device (), and also an ion application device () for applying ions to the hair, said ion application device having at least one ion outlet (), wherein the functional head () and the handle () also in each case have an electrically conductive area on an outer face of the component and the electrically conductive area of the functional head () and the electrically conductive area of the handle () are electrically conductively connected to one another.

Hair care appliance which can be employed in a flexible manner

An apparatus for counting the number of ions emitted by an ion source of a handheld domestic appliance is disclosed. The apparatus includes a collector housing for collecting ions impinging on the inner surface of the collector housing and a determining means coupled with the collector housing for determining the number of ions collected by the collector housing. The collector housing has an input opening dimensioned such that the domestic appliance is at least partially insertable into the collector housing via input opening. A method for counting the number of ions emitted by an ion source of a handheld domestic appliance is also disclosed.

Apparatus for counting ions, and method for counting ions

The present invention relates to a hair care device (), having a handle (), a function head () which can be connected to the handle (), and which has a hair treatment device (), particularly a brush and/or a tooth field, and having an ion-discharging device () for discharging ions onto the hair, the ion-discharging device () having at least one ion outlet (). According to the invention, the hair care device () is characterized in that the function head () and/or a housing part which surrounds the ion outlet () has at least one grounding area for dissipating/limiting electronic charges. Advantageously, the ions are discharged exclusively from the back of the device () which faces away from the hair treatment device (), while the grounding area on the function head () can be provided on the front of the device.

Hair care device

The present invention relates to a hair care device () with a handle (), a function head () having a hair treatment means, preferably comprising a bristle and/or a tooth field and/or air blower outlet means, as well as with an ion discharging device () for releasing ions, which has at least one ion outlet () and can be actuated by an actuating switch (). According to the invention, the hair care device is characterized in that a closure device () for closing the ion outlet is provided, which can be actuated by the actuating switch.

The present invention relates to a hair care device (), having a handle (), a application head () which can be connected to the handle () and has a hair treatment device (), particularly a bristle and/or a tooth field, and having an ion discharging device () with at least one ion outlet () for discharging ions onto the hair. According to the invention, the hair care device () is characterized in that the application head () and/or a part of the housing surrounding the ion outlet () has at least one grounding surface for dissipating/limiting electrical charges. Advantageously, the ions are discharged exclusively from the back () of the device facing away from the hair treatment device (), while the grounding surface can be provided on the application head () on the front side of the device.

Hair care device with function head

The present invention relates to a hair care device () with a handle (), an operational head connected to the handle () having a hair treatment apparatus (), in particular a bristle field and/or a comb tooth field, and an ion-producing apparatus () for producing ions on the hair, having at least one ion outlet (). According to the invention, the hair care device () is characterized in that said hair care device has the feature of a back side () facing away from the hair treatment apparatus () and an ion-producing apparatus () for producing ions on the hair which has at least one switching unit, an ion source, an ion outlet () and a sheath surrounding the ion outlet (). Said hair care device () has in addition a grounding surface for the removal/limiting of electronic loads, which is arranged on a part of the housing in the area of the ion outlet, wherein the ion source has a potential level of &#x2212;10 to &#x2212;3 KV relative to the potential level of the grounding surface, the sheath has a potential level of &#x2212;2.5 to &#x2212;1 KV or of 20% to 50% of the potential level of the ion source relative to the potential level of the grounding surface, and the back side () of the device has a potential level of &#x2212;500 to &#x2212;100V or from 2% to 10% of the potential level of the ion source relative to the potential level of the grounding surface.

Hair care device with optimized ion release

The present invention relates to a brush and a bristle holder. The invention relates in particular to a bristle holder for a brush, the bristle holder having a frame, a bristle anchoring means, and a back part, the back part having a first end area adjacent to the handle part of a connectable brush and a second end area adjacent to the brush end, the first end area supporting at least one first connecting element and the second end area supporting at least one positioning element and at least one holding element. The invention furthermore relates to a brush with and for a bristle holder of the described type.
