Abstract

A hair restoration caring device includes a treatment hood, a suspension member and a hair caring device. The treatment hood is to be disposed over a user'"'"'s head. The suspension member is fastened to the treatment hood. The hair caring device is attached to the suspension member and is movable with respect to the user scalp. The hair caring device includes an outer casing mounted slidably on the suspension member, and has several downward combing projections and several light emitters installed above the combing projections respectively for radiating light waves. Each combing projection is aligned with a respective light emitter and is formed with an axial passage to permit past through of light waves of the respective light emitter.

Claims

1. A hair restoration caring device comprising:

a treatment hood having an adjustable curved contact structure adapted to be disposed around a circumference of a user'"'"'s head above a user'"'"'s ears;

a suspension member fastened to the treatment hood; and

a hair caring device including an outer casing mounted on the suspension member, the outer casing having an upper portion, and a lower transparent portion facing the user'"'"'s scalp, the hair caring device having a plurality of hollow downward combing projections spaced apart and alternately disposed in the transparent portion between a plurality of spaced apart and alternately disposed upward recessions, the upper recessions bounded by the lower transparent portion, a plurality of light emitters disposed on the upper portion and facing the user'"'"'s scalp, the downward combing projections each aligned with a respective light emitter and each having an axial passage through the lower transparent portion to permit the passage of light from the light emitter therethrough, the upper recessions each aligned with a respective light emitter, the light from the respective light emitter passing through the lower transparent portion to the user'"'"'s scalp, the plurality of light emitters including a plurality of first light emitters, a plurality of second light emitters, and a plurality of third light emitters, each of the plurality of first, second and third light emitters being arranged staggered with respect to one another and each of the plurality of first, second and third light emitters generating a respective light wave frequency different from one another, wherein the plurality of light emitters are arranged in rows, wherein said rows of said light emitters are disposed in such a manner to emit light waves in a predetermined pattern, wherein the plurality of rows of the light emitters emit light waves so as to result in a direct light combing effect toward the user'"'"'s scalp wherein the outer casing is slidable on the suspension member and is movable from a front portion toward a rear portion of the user'"'"'s head and wherein the suspension member includes first and second curved suspending rails spanning above the user'"'"'s head and extending through the outer casing in such a manner to permit sliding action of the outer casing along the first and second curved suspending rails.

2. The hair restoration caring device according to claim 1, wherein the combing projections extending downwardly from the lower transparent portion and the upward recessions are substantially flush with the lower transparent portion while the plurality of light emitters are installed respectively within the upper portion in alignment with the combing projections and the upward recessions respectively.

3. The hair restoration caring device according to claim 2, wherein the hair caring device further includes a driving unit meshed operably with at least one of the first and second curved suspending rails in such a manner that activation of the driving unit results in reciprocal and sliding movement of the outer casing along the at least one of the first and second curved suspending rails, thereby irritating the user'"'"'s scalp via the combing projections and simultaneously conducting scanning operation by light waves emitted from the light emitters.

4. The hair restoration caring device according to claim 3, further comprising a remote control for controlling activation and de-activation of the driving unit and for adjusting a light emission time interval of the light emitters.

5. The hair restoration caring device according to claim 4, wherein the remote control is equipped with either a battery or a rechargeable battery for power.

6. A hair restoration caring device comprising:

a treatment hood adapted to be disposed around a portion of a user'"'"'s head above a user'"'"'s ears;

a suspension member fastened to the treatment hood, the suspension member including first and second curved suspending rails spanning above the user'"'"'s head,

a hair caring device including an outer casing slidably mounted on the suspension member, wherein the first and second curved rails extend through the outer casing of the suspension member in such a manner to permit sliding action of the outer casing along the first and second curved suspending rails, the outer casing having a plurality of upward recessions, and hollow combing projections extending downwardly therefrom, and a plurality of light emitters installed within the outer casing for radiating light waves through each of the upward recessions and hollow combing projections respectively, each of the upward recessions and hollow combing projections being aligned with a respective one of the plurality of light emitters and the hollow combing projections being formed with an axial passage to permit the passage of direct light waves from the respective one of the plurality of light emitters toward the user'"'"'s scalp; and

a remote control coupled to the hair caring device and disposed to cause light waves to be emanated by the hair caring device to the scalp, and to adjust a light emission time interval of the plurality of light emitters, wherein the plurality of light emitters includes a plurality of first light emitters, a plurality of second light emitters, and a plurality of third light emitters, each of the plurality of first, second and third light emitters being arranged staggered with respect to one another, and each of the plurality of first, second and third light emitters generates a light wave having a respective frequency different from one another, and wherein light emitters form a plurality of rows which are disposed in such a manner that the plurality of rows emit light waves so as to result in a direct light combing effect toward the user'"'"'s scalp.
