[0001] The present invention relates to a disposable hairdresser's set.
[0002] It is well-known that one of the means through which diseases are indirectly spread
amongst individuals is due to contacting with objects used by the diseased. This is
why sharing combs and other implements may clearly easily spread irreversible or barely
remediable diseases, such as parasitic and particularly infectious diseases.
[0003] Professional hairdressing implements clearly come into contact with a large number
of individuals, thereby bringing about conditions that pose a considerable threat
of healthy individuals being infected upon the presence of only one diseased individual.
[0004] The set subject of the present invention has been conceived to solve this current
problem, contributing prophylactic advantages derived from its structure and configuration,
and its use in both the professional and private fields, or elsewhere, avoid the spreading
of diseases by direct contagion.
[0005] Broadly speaking, the set proposed herein comprises an elongate and extremely slim
case made of a laminar structure, preferably paper, sealed tightly at its edges by
heat welding, housing within it a comb that shall have been fully sterilised at a
temperature in excess of 300°, fresh from the sterilising machine, and/or also similarly
sterilised scissors. The set is preferably to be used by hairdressers, although it
could also be used elsewhere, namely at home, hotels, rest homes, when travelling,
at film studios and wheresoever a comb is commonly used.
[0006] Implements packaged under the conditions aforesaid are made of a low-cost moulded
or like material, and are solely to be used once by the same person, the user being
thus assured of the use of sterile implements, at no risk of contagion.
[0007] For ease of explanation, attached hereto is a sheet of drawings illustrating an embodiment
that is cited only as an example.
[0008] In the drawings:
Figure 1 is an open, unfolded view of the disposable set according to the example;
Figure 2 shows the closed set;
Figure 3 is a cross-section of the set along III-III.
[0009] With reference to the figures, the embodiment shows a disposable hairdresser's set
which comprises a laminar casing, generally designated -1-, made of paper or a similar
material, comprising longitudinal fold lines, designated -2-, through which an enclosure
is composed that is kept sealed by heat sealing three sides -3-, -4-and -5-.
[0010] A comb -6- and/or scissors -7- sterilised in a suitable machine at a temperature
in excess of 300°C or using any other sterilisation system are inserted before the
casing is closed. The above set has a slim, elongate structure which fosters the packaging
of grouped units and carriage of one or more of said units in a pocket. The set is
basically destined to be used by hairdressers and the idea is to dispose of the various
implements, comb and scissors, after finishing work with someone.
[0011] Reference lines -8- run parallel to the shorter sides for the casing -1- to be cut
open.
1. A disposable hairdresser's set, essentially characterised by comprising a casing constituted
by a part with a laminar structure of straight, elongate rectangular shape, having
longitudinal fold lines that make it easier to be assembled as an extremely slim and
elongate case which makes up a sealed enclosure by heat sealing the shorter sides
and longitudinal edges, the latter forming a central longitudinal flange, which enclosure
has sufficient capacity to contain a comb and/or scissors, both implements being sterilised
at a temperature in excess of 300°C, said implements being made of a low-cost moulded
material to be used once only.
