Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for cosmetic body hair removal and a hair removal device.
  • epilators are used for permanent hair removal, which try to tear out the hair with the root for the longest possible reduction of the body hair density.
  • the proportion of root removed during epilation depends strongly on the plucking speed and in particular on the plucking direction.
  • epilators have rotary epilating rollers on the circumference of which tweezer-like clamping elements are initially opened to capture the body hair and then brought into their clamping position so that the hairs clamped by the clamping elements are plucked out by the rotational movement of the depilation roller.
  • Such an epilator shows, for example, DE 10 2004 047 875 A1, which proposes a three-dimensional rib-shaped clamping structure for the tweezer-type clamping tools in order to clamp the hair to be sponged firmer, nevertheless nonetheless gently.
  • the Auszupfraum is not perpendicular, but inclined at an acute angle to the skin surface. In this case, instead of the desired tearing with a high proportion of roots, the hair may simply be torn off.
  • the cyclic divergence and collapse of the tweezer-like clamping tools is mechanically complicated to realize, since in addition to the rotational movement of the epilating also the adjusting movement of the clamping elements is to be generated.
  • a simply constructed device is to be created, which allows effective vertical hair removal with the lowest possible sensation of pain by acting as perpendicular to the skin surface train on the hair to be removed.
  • the hairs grasped by the gripping elements are pulled out of the skin in a plurality of strokes, between which the gripping elements are moved apart and moved closer to the skin for follow-up and are brought together again.
  • the follow-up takes place so fast that the already a little bit pulled hair can move back only slightly due to its viscoelastic anchoring of the hair root and in any case has not reached its initial position yet.
  • the follow-up is repeated so quickly that the hair can not move back into its starting position fast enough, but is pulled out successively.
  • the sensation of pain can be significantly reduced, also can be increased when removing the extracted root component.
  • even very short hair can be better grasped, since the gripping elements are repeatedly guided to the skin.
  • the drive of the gripping elements is designed such that within a cycle of movement, the lifting height of the closed gripping elements is smaller than the necessary movement to complete plucking a hair movement. The lifting height of the drive is thus limited that the gripping elements are opened again before a hair detected by it is completely plucked out.
  • the hair removal process according to the invention is also intended to cover the process of hair removal.
  • the hair is pulled out of the skin in at least two consecutive micro-strokes without picking the hair and then the hair is separated, in particular by cutting off or cutting off, so that a Haarwurzelanteil is not torn, but the hair after the Let go through the gripping elements back into the hair channel, advantageously such that the remaining hair residue no longer protrudes beyond the skin surface.
  • the gripping of the gripping elements by moving apart, moving the gripping elements back against the plucking direction and again bringing the gripping elements together takes place in particular such that the same gripping elements grasp a plucked out hair several times without intervening other gripping elements coming into engagement with the hair to be plucked.
  • various gripping elements do not continuously stroke one after the other over the hair to be processed. Skin section, but the same gripping elements are oscillated back and forth.
  • the gripping elements are extended and retracted substantially perpendicular to a frontal working surface of the device with which the device can be guided on or over the skin surface.
  • an extremely small plucking angle can be achieved with respect to the longitudinal direction of the hair root, as a result of which a higher root share than in the case of conventional depilation systems with an epilating roller can be removed.
  • the lifting movement of the gripping elements need not necessarily take place in a translatory oscillatory movement along an axis perpendicular to the aforementioned fictitious working surface.
  • the lifting movement of the gripping elements takes place at an angle between 30 ° and 150 °, in particular between 60 ° and 120 °, preferably 75 ° to 105 °, to the skin surface or the frontal working surface of the device with which the device which is feasible or over the skin surface.
  • this angular range is preferably plucked in hair growth direction.
  • the entire stroke movement does not have to take place in this angular range, in particular when the lifting movement does not take place purely translationally along an oscillation axis.
  • the essential part of the lifting movement in particular at least 2 I 3 of the lifting height, in the aforementioned angular range.
  • the Plucking unit be integrated in a roller, wherein the plucking unit tugs vertically, but the roller is rotatably mounted, so that in a hair growing direction deviating from the vertical to the skin surface in hair growth direction - plucked by the superimposed movement of roller and plucking unit.
  • the gripping elements are driven in a further development of the invention with a stroke frequency of more than 500 Hz. Further preferred is a drive frequency of the gripping elements of more than 1 kHz.
  • the opening and closing movement of the gripping elements takes place in the plane of the lifting movement of the gripping elements. This makes it sufficient to support the gripping elements biaxially movable and / or form the drive biaxial. A spatial movement or a third axis of motion is not required, even if this would be possible in principle.
  • the lifting movement of the gripping elements can take place substantially in the form of a flattened ellipse whose longitudinal axis is advantageously at least twice as long as the transverse axis of the elliptical trajectory. It is understood that in this case not exactly an elliptical trajectory in the mathematical sense must be described, but also oval or similarly flattened trajectories can be provided, which may also have a small spatial component, i. perpendicular to the plane of the ellipse.
  • the drive is designed such that the two gripping elements of each cooperating pair of gripping elements are driven on opposite, in the aforementioned sense substantially elliptical trajectories.
  • the movement component parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elliptical trajectories causes the lifting movement, while the movement component causes the gripping movement of the gripping elements toward one another parallel to the transverse axes of the ellipse. It is understood that in this case the resulting trajectory of each gripping element is not really elliptical, at least in the sections where the two Gripping elements are pressed on each other.
  • a co-movement path for these two gripping elements can be provided in principle, in which case advantageously the movement centers of the two trajectories are sufficiently far apart, so that the gripping elements a gripping movement towards each other and run away from each other.

  • the carriers can also be elastically flexible such that the gripping and lifting movements of the gripping elements are produced by elastic deformation of the carrier.
  • the elastic supports can be deformed in undulating form by piezoelectric actuators, as a result of which the gripping elements fastened thereto are moved toward one another or away from one another and on the other hand in the direction of lifting movement.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'élimination des poils et en particulier un appareil d'épilation, ainsi qu'un procédé d'élimination cosmétique des poils corporels. Les poils à éliminer sont saisis par des éléments de saisie en forme de pincette entraînés cycliquement et sont extraits au moins en partie de la peau sur la course de déplacement des éléments de saisie. Les éléments de saisie sont éloignés cycliquement les uns des autres, déplacés vers la peau, rapprochés et éloignés de la peau. Au contraire de la stratégie longtemps suivie, qui consiste à extraire en continu en une traction les poils dès qu'ils ont été saisis sur un cylindre d'épilation, l'invention a pour objet de ne pas extraire les poils en une fois mais de relâcher d'abord l'ancrage des racines des poils par plusieurs microdéplacements "d'épluchage" et ensuite d'extraire morceau par morceau le poil concerné. Selon l'invention, les poils saisis par les éléments de saisie sont extraits de la peau en plusieurs déplacements entre lesquels les éléments de saisie sont écartés les uns des autres et sont ensuite ramenés plus près de la peau et de nouveau rapprochés pour ressaisir les poils. De manière avantageuse, la saisie des poils s'effectue suffisamment rapidement pour qu'une petite partie d'un poil déjà largement extrait ne recule que de manière négligeable suite à l'ancrage viscoélastique de la racine du poil et en tout cas pour qu'il n'ait pas encore repris sa position initiale.
