With such a configuration, the hair can be reliably clamped in a state where the movement is temporarily stopped at the moved place.

It is preferable that the moving speed of the epilation element in one direction is higher than the peripheral speed of the rotating cylinder. With such a configuration, the direction in which the hair is pulled out with the nail is not multi-directional.

Further, it is preferable that the moving cycle of reciprocating the epilating element in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the rotating cylinder is larger than the rotating cycle of the rotating cylinder. With such a configuration, the number of rotations of the rotating cylinder during one reciprocating movement in a direction orthogonal to the rotating axis of the rotating cylinder of the epilating element is increased.

With such a configuration, it is possible to make a configuration in which at least one rotation is made at both ends of the reciprocating movement, and it is possible to reliably increase the number of hair removal points.

Further, it is preferable that the epilation element is moved by the eccentric cam. With such a configuration, a stable reciprocating motion is performed.

Preferably, the rotation of the eccentric cam is performed by a gear integrated with the eccentric cam. With such a configuration, the number of components can be reduced because the eccentric cam and the gear are integrated.

It is preferable that the epilation element is moved by a link. With such a configuration, the epilation element can be moved with a simple configuration.

Further, it is preferable that the epilating elements that move periodically are biased by springs in the respective moving directions. With such a configuration, the moving epilation element works so as to be located at the center of the main casing, so that the inertial force at the end point of the reciprocating motion can be absorbed and the movement can be started without collision. It is.

It is preferable that the epilation element that moves periodically is guided in the movement direction by a guide shaft. With such a configuration, the movement in the moving direction can be ensured.

When the rotating cylinder 4 rotates and the pressing portions 38a, 39a of the opening / closing levers 38, 39 come to a position where they come into contact with the rollers constituting the cam 29, the rollers push the opening / closing levers 38, 39 inward against the spring 37, The lower ends of the outer movable claws 5a are pushed inward by the distal ends of the opening / closing levers 38 and 39, and the outer movable claws 5a are
The transmission lever 36 is pushed inward through the lower portion of the movable claw 5 and moved to push the lower portion of the inner movable claw 5a inward. When the lower portions of the four movable claws 5a are pushed inward in this manner, the movable claws 5a rotate, and the upper portions of the movable claws 5a are respectively fixed to the fixed claws 5a.
b, and the hair introduced between the movable claw 5a and the fixed claw 5b is pinched. And
The hair is pulled out by rotating the rotary cylinder 4 while holding the hair. The rotation of the rotary cylinder 4 causes the next opening / closing levers 38, 39 to reach the rollers and be pressed by the rollers to pinch and pull out the hairs in the same manner as described above.

Here, as shown in FIG. 8, both ends of the pressing portion 38a of the opening / closing lever 38 provided alternately in the circumferential direction overlap with the end of the pressing portion 39a of the opening / closing lever 39 in the circumferential direction. Therefore, when the rear end in the rotating direction of the pressing portion of the opening / closing lever that has helped to pinch the hair is pressed by the roller, the front end of the pressing portion of the next opening / closing lever is simultaneously pressed by the roller. Therefore, even if a plurality of the claws 5 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotary cylinder 4, the distance for pinching and pulling the hair can be increased.

When the gear 15c rotates, the gear 15e rotates horizontally via the face gear 15d, and the eccentric cam 15g provided on the gear 15e is rotated by rotating the gear 15e. FIG. 10 (b) → FIG.
1 (b) → rotation as shown in FIG. 12 (b), and the epilation block 24 is attached to the main body casing 1 as shown in FIG. 10 (a) → FIG. 11 (a) → FIG. 12 (a). Reciprocates periodically in the axial direction of the rotary cylinder 4 with respect to By moving the hair removal block 24 in the axial direction in this manner, the position where the hair is clamped between the fixed claw 5b and the movable claw 5a provided on the rotating cylinder 4 of the hair removal block 24 changes, and the hair removal block 24 moves as in the related art. In the case where the hair is not removed, it is possible to remove the hair in a place where the hair removal was impossible. Even with the hair K between the fixed claws 5b in FIG. 13, the rotating cylinder 4 moves integrally with the hair removal block 24. As shown by broken lines, the fixed claw 5b and the movable claw 5a can be moved to pinch and remove hair. In FIG. 13, H is the skin. In particular, in the case of short hair, it is necessary to pinch the root of the hair in order to pull out the hair, but by moving the hair removal block 24, the root of the short hair is easily pinched, and the hair removal efficiency is improved. . Further, when the epilation block 24 moves, the rotating cylinder 4 and the cam 29 move in the axial direction as a unit, so that the rotation speed of the rotating cylinder 4 also varies due to the clamping force of the hair of the movable claw 5a and the load variation. In addition, the hair removal efficiency can be improved. 11 (a) and FIG.
(A), the arrow in FIG. 13 indicates the moving direction of the epilation block 24.

FIG. 14 shows an example in which the cam shape of the eccentric cam 15g is fan-shaped. By making the cam shape of the eccentric cam 15g fan-shaped, the fan-shaped outer peripheral arc of the eccentric cam 15g is shown. Is stopped at the place where the rotary cylinder 4 has moved to one side while pushing one inner side surface of the concave portion 27B, and the rotation of the rotary cylinder 4 is also stopped while the movement of the rotary cylinder 4 is stopped. Is continued, and the hair removal operation by the nail 5 is performed. Here, the cam shape of the eccentric cam 15g is made sector-shaped, and the eccentric cam 15g is formed.
eccentric cam 15g by changing the reduction ratio of gear 15e integral with g
If the rotation speed of the rotation cylinder 4 is smaller than the rotation speed of the rotation cylinder 4, and especially the movement cycle of the epilation block 24 is twice or more the movement cycle of the rotation cylinder 4, the rotation cylinder 4 always moves in the axial direction at the movement point of the rotation cylinder 4. By stopping the movement of the hair, it is possible to make approximately one rotation, or one or more rotations, so that the hair can be reliably pinched from the root and the hair removal efficiency can be further improved.

That is, in the state of FIG. 11 (that is, the state in which the rotary cylinder 4 is located at an intermediate position in the axial direction),
Now, when the fan-shaped eccentric cam 15g in the figure rotates clockwise, the left end of the fan-shaped outer circumferential arc of the eccentric cam 15g immediately hits the left inner surface of the concave portion 27B, and the rotating cylinder 4 is moved to the left in FIG. To the eccentric cam 1
With the rotation of 5 g, the fan-shaped outer circumferential arc of the eccentric cam 15 g hits the inner surface on the left side of the concave portion 27 B in order from the left end to the right end, during which the rotating cylinder 4 is left pressed by the eccentric cam 15 g while left. When the right end of the fan-shaped outer circumferential arc of the eccentric cam 15g hits the inner surface on the left side of the concave portion 27B, the rotary cylinder 4 moves to the right by a spring and moves to the right in FIG. In the state where the eccentric cam 15g is rotated by 180 ° from the state described above, the rotary cylinder 4 is at the intermediate position in the axial direction. The same applies to the case where the rotary cylinder 4 is moved rightward in FIG. 11 by the fan-shaped eccentric cam 15g. As described above, by making the eccentric cam 15g into a sector shape, the period in which the rotation of the rotary cylinder 4 as the epilation element is stopped at the moving point (the point where the rotary cylinder 4 has moved to the left in the above description) is moved. Is provided, and while the movement of the rotary cylinder 4 is stopped, the rotary cylinder 4 continues to rotate.
Alternatively, the claw 5 provided on the outer periphery of the rotating cylinder 4 after being rotated one or more rotations can securely hold the hair from the root. Further, by making the cam shape of the eccentric cam 15g into a sector shape, the moving speed to the moving point can be increased,
The probability of pulling out the hair while moving is reduced, and the hair removal stimulation caused by pulling out the hair in multiple directions can be reduced.

Further, as described above, the reduction ratio of the gear 15e integral with the eccentric cam 15g is made smaller than the rotation speed of the rotary cylinder 4, and the moving cycle is made larger than the rotation cycle of the rotary cylinder 4, so that the pinching is performed. Since the number of positions increases, the hair removal efficiency can be further increased.

The moving amount of the depilation block 24 is set to 1/3 to 1/2 of the pitch of the claws 5 (total number of fixed claws 5b and movable claws 5a / effective depilatory width L of the rotary cylinder 4). Can be made substantially equal to half the pitch, so that shorter hairs can be easily pinched, and the hair removal efficiency can be improved.

Further, by making the moving speed of the epilation block 24 in one direction higher than the peripheral speed of the rotary cylinder 4, the epilation block 2 is rotated during the minute rotation of the rotary cylinder 4.
4 is completed, and the direction in which the hair is pulled out with the claw 5 does not become multi-directional, and the hair can be reliably pinched,
As a result, pain during hair removal can be reduced.

As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the gear 1
5e is provided with an eccentric pin 15m, a boss 24a is provided on the epilating block 24 side (in the embodiment, the boss 24a is provided on the cylinder mounting base 27), and the eccentric pin 15m is provided.
And the boss 24a are connected to each other by a link 15n.
Can be periodically reciprocated in the axial direction of the rotary cylinder 4. By reciprocating through the link 15n in this way, the rattling of the connecting portion can be reduced and the noise can be further reduced.

In each of the above-described embodiments, an example is shown in which the rotating cylinder 4 as an epilation element is moved in the axial direction together with the epilation block 24 by moving the epilation block 24, as shown in FIG. The rotating cylinder 4, which is the hair removal element, the cylinder mounting base 27, and the cylinder cover 28 may be moved without moving the whole hair removal block 24 as described above. That is, in FIG. 17, the head frame 31 is not fixed to the cylinder mounting base 27 and the cylinder cover 28,
The engaging concave portion 31a provided in the head frame 31 is attached by engaging with a hook 15o provided in the base block 15. With this configuration, the head frame 31 fixedly attached to the base block 15 fixedly attached to the main body casing 1 fixes the skin, so that the skin moves even if the rotary cylinder 4 moves in the axial direction. Because it is not stretched in any direction, it has good skin contact, high hair removal efficiency, and excellent assemblability.

Next, still another embodiment shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 will be described. In each of the above-described embodiments, the rotating cylinder 4 constituting the epilation element is
In the example shown, the periodic movement is performed in the direction of the rotation axis.
In the present embodiment, the rotating cylinder 4, which is a hair removal element that is driven to rotate, moves in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the rotating cylinder 4.

That is, holes 27Ab, 28Ab provided in the rib 27A of the cylinder mounting base 27 and the rib 28A of the cylinder cover 28 are perforated in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotary cylinder 4, and these holes 27Ab, 28Ab

It is movable in the direction perpendicular to the direction. In this case, the width of the concave portion 27B provided on the lower surface of the cylinder mounting base 27 is opposite to that of the first embodiment. However,
As in the first embodiment, the ribs 27A and 28A and the base body 1 in the moving direction are used to reduce noise due to the movement.
A spring 15k is interposed between 5a and the base sub-body 15b. In this embodiment, the width of the claw 5 in the circumferential direction of the rotary cylinder 4 is increased by moving the rotary cylinder 4 together with the epilation block 24 in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis direction, and the punch remains. Hair can be reduced and hair removal efficiency can be improved. By making the movement amount at this time about half of the nail width A shown in FIG. 19A, the same effect as when the nail width is about twice (2 × A) is obtained, and the hair removal efficiency is improved. Things.

In this embodiment, in which the rotary cylinder 4 serving as a depilatory element moves in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotary cylinder 4, the depilatory element moves periodically as in the above-described embodiments. The rotation cylinder 4 continues to rotate while the epilation element is temporarily stopped at the place where the epilation is completed and the epilation element is temporarily stopped, and the moving speed of the epilation element in one direction is controlled by the rotation cylinder 4.
Or the cycle of reciprocating the epilating element in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the rotating cylinder is larger than the rotating cycle of the rotating cylinder 4 or the rotation of the epilating element. The moving cycle for reciprocating in the direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the cylinder 4 may be twice or more as long as the rotation cycle of the rotating cylinder 4, thereby providing the same operation as the above-described embodiments. An effect can be achieved. Further, although an example has been described in which the epilation element moves with the eccentric cam 15g, the epilation element may be moved by a link in this embodiment as well.

FIG. 20 shows still another embodiment. In the present embodiment, ribs 27A and 28A are provided with long holes 27Ab ′ and 28Ab ′ in two directions, respectively.
The shafts 15j in the two directions are loosely inserted into the long holes 27Ab 'and 28Ab' in the two directions, respectively, and both ends of each shaft 15j are pivotally supported by the base body 15a or the base sub-body 15b. In this embodiment, since the rotating cylinder 4, which is the epilation element that is rotationally driven, moves in two directions, that is, the direction of the rotation axis and the direction orthogonal to the direction of the rotation axis, it is possible to increase the number of places where hair can be removed and to improve the hair removal efficiency. Next, still another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 to 26. FIG.

Grooves 67c, 68c in the opposite direction to the surface on which 5a is incorporated.
The ribs 120b of the opening / closing plate 120 are fitted in the grooves 67c and 68c. At this time, if at least part or all of the opening / closing plate 120 has elasticity, assembly can be easily performed. In particular, if the opening / closing plate 120 has elasticity in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, assembly is easy. It can be done easily. Here, the opening / closing plate 120 is incorporated such that the protrusion 120c provided on the opening / closing plate 120 is rotatably abutted on the end surface of the rotary cylinder 4.

The opening / closing operation is performed by either of the claw block bodies 69.
The opening and closing levers 67 and 68 slide inward to swing the movable claw 5a by left and right rollers, which will be described later, which are cams 29 (in FIG. 25, the roller of the opening and closing lever 67 of the claw block 69 located below). Hit part 67
d is pushed by the left roller 71 and slides to the right inside, and the opening / closing lever 6 of the claw block body 69 located below
8, the roller contact portion 68d is pushed by the right roller 71 and slides to the left inside), and the opening / closing plate 120 is opposite to the opening / closing levers 67, 68 of the claw block body 69 pushed by the roller 71 with the projection 120c as a fulcrum. The opening / closing levers 67 and 68 of the claw block body 69 located on the side (the claw block body 69 positioned above in FIG. 25) are swung in a direction to spread outward. Next, when the rotary cylinder 4 rotates, the open / close levers 67 and 68 in the spread state come to the position of a roller (described later) constituting the cam 29 and are slid inward by the roller. The opening and closing levers 67 and 68, which have been slid inward to grip the hair, are spread outward by the opening and closing plate 120. In order to swing the movable claw 5a in this manner, the opening / closing plate 120 is swung and the opening / closing lever 6 is swung.
By sliding the 7, 68 in and out, the driving load can be reduced.

Projecting support portions 27a and 28a are mounted on the cylinder mounting base 27 at both ends so as to protrude upward. The rotary cylinder 4 having the above-described configuration is attached to the front and rear portions of the upper portions of the protruding support portions 27a and 28a by shafts 4b. Gears 40a, 40b, 40c, and 40d are rotatably mounted on the protruding support portions 27a and 28a.
