Description

La présente invention concerne un appareil pour l'épilation à la cire.The present invention relates to an apparatus for waxing.

La présente invention concerne également un procédé d'épilation à la cire.The present invention also relates to a method of waxing.

On sait que l'épilation à la cire consiste à chauffer de la cire pour la ramollir, à étaler celle-ci sur la peau avec une spatule, de manière à former des bandelettes, puis, après durcissement de la cire, à retirer ces bandelettes de façon à arracher les poils retenus prisonniers dans la cire. Il faut ensuite récupérer la cire en la débarrassant de ses poils. Pour cela, on réchauffe les bandelettes jusqu'à obtention d'un bain liquide que l'on va filtrer.We know that waxing consists of heating the wax to soften it, spreading it over the skin with a spatula, so as to form strips, then, after the wax has hardened, removing these strips. so as to pluck the hairs trapped in the wax. It is then necessary to recover the wax by removing it from its hair. For this, the strips are heated until a liquid bath is obtained which is to be filtered.

Des appareils connus, à l'usage des professionnels permettent de mener à bien ces diverses opérations. Ils comprennent une cuve basse -ou cuve de puisage-, et une cuve haute, -ou cuve de filtration-, munie d'un déversoir surplombant la cuve basse. Dans cette dernière, la température est maintenue à 60°C environ. La cire peut y être puisée pour être aussitôt appliquée sur la peau. Après avoir ôté les bandelettes, on met celles-ci dans un filtre qu'on a installé dans la cuve haute, portée à une température de 120°C environ, où elles fondent. La cire liquide qui en résulte traverse le filtre et retourne à la cuve basse par le déversoir tandis que les poils sont retenus dans la cuve haute par le filtre.Known devices for the use of professionals allow these various operations to be carried out. They include a low tank -or drawing tank-, and a high tank -or filtration tank-, provided with a weir overhanging the low tank. In the latter, the temperature is maintained at approximately 60 ° C. The wax can be drawn from it to be immediately applied to the skin. After removing the strips, we put them in a filter that we installed in the upper tank, brought to a temperature of about 120 ° C, where they melt. The resulting liquid wax passes through the filter and returns to the lower tank through the weir while the bristles are retained in the upper tank by the filter.

Dans le souci de réduire leur encombrement, les appareils à usage domestique ne comportent qu'une seule cuve qu'on utilise comme cuve de puisage pendant l'épilation proprement dite, et que l'on porte ensuite, à une température supérieure pour procéder à la filtration.In order to reduce their size, household appliances have only one tank which is used as a drawing-off tank during the actual hair removal, and which is then brought to a higher temperature to carry out filtration.

Ces appareils à usage domestique ont divers inconvénients. Comme il faut attendre la fin de l'épilation proprement dite pour pouvoir filtrer la cire, d'une part la durée globale de l'opération est accrue, et d'autre part il faut entreposer les bandelettes enlevées en attendant de pouvoir les remettre dans la cuve. Pendant la filtration, il faut soulever le filtre pour permettre à la cire filtrée de passer en dessous. Cette manipulation peut être dangereuse car la cire a alors sa température de 120°C.These household appliances have various drawbacks. As we have to wait for the end of the actual hair removal to be able to filter the wax, on the one hand the overall duration of the operation is increased, and on the other hand it is necessary to store the removed strips while waiting to be able to put them back in the tank. During filtration, the filter must be raised to allow the filtered wax to pass underneath. This manipulation can be dangerous because the wax then has its temperature of 120 ° C.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un appareil à deux cuves dont l'encombrement soit compatible avec l'usage domestique.The object of the present invention is to provide a device with two tanks whose size is compatible with domestic use.

L'invention vise ainsi un appareil pour l'épilation à la cire, comprenant un corps, une cuvé de puisage portée par le corps et associée à des moyens de chauffe et de régulation, une cuve de filtration également associée à des moyens de chauffe et de régulation et qui, lorsque l'appareil est en position de service, est surélevée et décalée latéralement relativement à la cuve de puisage, et un déversoir destiné à faire communiquer le fond de la cuve de filtration avec la cuve de puisage.The invention thus relates to an apparatus for waxing, comprising a body, a drawing vatage carried by the body and associated with heating and regulation means, a filtration tank also associated with heating means and regulation and which, when the device is in the operating position, is raised and offset laterally relative to the drawing tank, and a weir intended to communicate the bottom of the filtration tank with the drawing tank.

Suivant l'invention, l'appareil est caractérisé en ce que la cuve de filtration est montée mobile relativement au corps entre la position de service précitée, dans laquelle elle est en surplomb relativement au corps, et une position de rangement dans laquelle elle est ramenée au-dessus de la cuve de puisage.According to the invention, the apparatus is characterized in that the filtration tank is mounted movable relative to the body between the aforementioned operating position, in which it is overhanging relative to the body, and a storage position in which it is brought back above the drawing tank.

En position de service, l'appareil a tous les avantages des appareils à deux cuves. En particulier, on peut faire en sorte que la cuve haute dégage en quasi totalité l'accès à la cuve basse.In the operating position, the device has all the advantages of two-tank devices. In particular, it is possible to ensure that the upper tank releases almost all of the access to the lower tank.

Par contre, en position de rangement, les deux cuves sont sensiblement à l'aplomb l'une de l'autre, de sorte que l'encombrement horizontal de l'appareil est analogue à celui d'un appareil à une cuve.By cons, in the storage position, the two tanks are substantially perpendicular to each other, so that the horizontal size of the device is similar to that of a device with a tank.

Selon son second aspect, l'invention vise un procédé d'épilation à la cire au moyen d'un appareil comprenant une cuve de puisage dont le fond est associé à des moyens de chauffe et à un thermostat, une cuve de filtration également associée à des moyens de chauffe et qui, lorsque l'appareil est en position de service, est surélevée et décalée latéralement relativement à la cuve de puisage, et un déversoir destiné à faire communiquer le fond de la cuve de filtration avec la cuve de puisage. Selon ce procédé, on ramollit de la cire dans la cuve de puisage, on l'étale sur la peau, on l'y laisse refroidir, on l'ôte et on la dépose dans un filtre installé dans là cuve de filtration.According to its second aspect, the invention relates to a method of waxing by means of an apparatus comprising a drawing-off tank whose bottom is associated with heating means and with a thermostat, a filtration tank also associated with heating means and which, when the appliance is in the service position, is raised and offset laterally relative to the drawing-off tank, and a weir intended to make the bottom of the filtration tank communicate with the drawing-off tank. According to this process, the wax is softened in the drawing-off tank, it is spread over the skin, it is allowed to cool there, it is removed and it is deposited in a filter installed in the filtration tank.

Suivant le second aspect de l'invention, le procédé est caractérisé en ce que du déversoir, on conduit la cire filtrée directement au fond de la cuve de puisage.According to the second aspect of the invention, the process is characterized in that from the weir, the filtered wax is led directly to the bottom of the drawing-off tank.

La cire provenant de la cuve de filtration est trop chaude pour être immédiatement réutilisée. En la donduisant au fond de la cuve de puisage, on évite qu'elle soit aussitôt prélevée. En outre, cette cire influence fortement le thermostat tout proche. Celui-ci interrompt aussitôt la chauffe, pour tenir compte de l'apport calorifique dû à la cire provenant de la cuve de filtration. Ces résultats sont particulièrement avantageux dans le cadre d'une utilisation domestique car alors la cuve de puisage est de faible capacité et la cire provenant de la cuve de filtration risque d'avoir une influence rédhibitoire sur la température de la cire prête à l'emploi.The wax from the filter tank is too hot to be reused immediately. By diverting it to the bottom of the drawing-off tank, it is avoided that it is immediately withdrawn. In addition, this wax strongly influences the nearby thermostat. This immediately stops the heating, to take into account the heat input due to the wax coming from the filtration tank. These results are particularly advantageous in the context of domestic use because then the drawing-off tank is of low capacity and the wax coming from the filtration tank risks having a prohibitive influence on the temperature of the ready-to-use wax. .

D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention ressortiront encore de la description ci-après.Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description below.

L'appareil comprend en outre un boîtier supérieur 13 comprenant un fond 14 et une paroi latérale cylindrique 16 d'axe YY parallèle à l'axe XX, dont le diamètre est voisin de celui du corps 1, mais dontla hauteur est environ 2,5 fois moindre que celle du corps 1. Dans ce boîtier est placée une cuve de filtration 17 formée d'une paroi latérale cylindrique 18, et d'un fond 19. La cuve de filtration 17, dans laquelle on installe en service un filtre souple (par exemple en toile ) ou rigide 21,occupe la quasi totalité du diamètre utile du boîtier 13 et environ la moitié de sa hauteur.The apparatus further comprises an upper housing 13 comprising a bottom 14 and a cylindrical side wall 16 of axis YY parallel to the axis XX, the diameter of which is close to that of the body 1, but the height of which is approximately 2.5 times less than that of the body 1. In this housing is placed a filtration tank 17 formed by a cylindrical side wall 18, and a bottom 19. The filtration tank 17, in which a flexible filter is installed in service ( for example canvas) or rigid 21, occupies almost all of the useful diameter of the housing 13 and about half of its height.

Contre le fond 19 de la cuve 17., du côté du fond 14 du boîtier 13, sont aménagés des moyens de chauffage 22 alimentés par des conducteurs 23 se raccordant, comme les moyens de chauffe 9, à un connecteur 25 d'où part un conducteur trifilaire 24 servant au branchement de l'appareil. Les moyens de chauffage 22 assurent en service une température fixe de l'ordre de 120°C. ils consistent en une résistance autoréguJante par croissance de sa valeur ohmique avec la température.Against the bottom 19 of the tank 17., on the side of the bottom 14 of the housing 13, are provided heating means 22 supplied by conductors 23 connecting, like the heating means 9, to a connector 25 from which a three-wire conductor 24 used to connect the device.

Dans l'exemple représenté, le boîtier 13 est superposé au corps 1 et l'axe géométrique de pivotement ZZ passe à l'intérieur des deux cuves 4 et 17, près de leurs parois latérales 7 et 18.In the example shown, the housing 13 is superimposed on the body 1 and the geometric pivot axis ZZ passes inside the two tanks 4 and 17, near their side walls 7 and 18.

Par le pivotement précité, la cuve de filtration 17 est mobile entre une position de service (figures 1 à 3) et une position de rangement (figure 5). En position de service la cuve de filtration est décalée latéralement par rapport à la cuve de puisage 4 et donne ainsi un accès très commode à cette dernière. La cuve de filtration 17 forme alors un surplomb relativement à l'encombrement horizontal du corps 1, comme le montrent les figures 1 et 2. Cependant, une certaine région de la cuve de filtration 17, où se trouve le déversoir 27, est située au-dessus de la cuve de puisage 4.By the aforementioned pivoting, the filtration tank 17 is movable between a service position (Figures 1 to 3) and a storage position (Figure 5). In the operating position the filtration tank is offset laterally with respect to the drawing-off tank 4 and thus gives very convenient access to the latter. The filtration tank 17 then forms an overhang relative to the horizontal size of the body 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. However, a certain region of the filtration tank 17, where the weir 27 is located, is located at above the drawing tank 4.

En position de rangement (figure 6), le boîtier 13 se trouve dans le prolongement du corps 1, les axes XX et YY étant confondus. L'appareil peut alors être fermé par un couvercle 28 enfermant à la fois le boîtier 13 et le sommet du corps 1, ce qui maintient l'appareil en position de rangement.In the storage position (Figure 6), the housing 13 is in the extension of the body 1, the axes XX and YY being combined. The device can then be closed by a cover 28 enclosing both the housing 13 and the top of the body 1, which keeps the device in the storage position.

Les moyens assurant le pivotement du boîtier 13 comprennent une platine 31 en matière plastique fixée au bord de la cuve de puisage 4. Elle recouvre sur un certain angle le bord précité, et fait saillie vers l'axe XX. Sa superficie est telle qu'elle est recouverte en quasi totalité par le boîtier 13 même lorsque celui-ci est en position de service. La platine 31 (figure 5) a un bord externe en secteur de cercle 32, deux bords latéraux 33, dont le prolongement couperait l'axe XX, et un bord interne rectiligne 34 formant le même angle obtus A avec les deux bords 33. La platine 31 est symétrique par rapport à un plan passant par les axes XX et YY en position de service (figure 5).The means ensuring the pivoting of the housing 13 comprise a plastic plate 31 fixed to the edge of the drawing-off tank 4. It covers the abovementioned edge at a certain angle, and projects towards the axis XX. Its area is such that it is almost entirely covered by the housing 13 even when the latter is in the service position. The plate 31 (FIG. 5) has an external edge in a sector of a circle 32, two lateral edges 33, the extension of which would cut the axis XX, and a rectilinear internal edge 34 forming the same obtuse angle A with the two edges 33. The plate 31 is symmetrical with respect to a plane passing through the axes XX and YY in the service position (FIG. 5).

La platine 31 présente, du côté du boîtier 13, un bossage cylindrique 36 traversé par un alésage 37, d'axe ZZ, élargi du côté dirigé vers la cuve 4 par un épaulement 38 (figure 1).The plate 31 has, on the side of the housing 13, a cylindrical boss 36 crossed by a bore 37, of axis ZZ, widened on the side directed towards the tank 4 by a shoulder 38 (Figure 1).

De son côté, le fond 14 du boîtier 13 présente un évidement 39 dans lequel s'emboîte le bossage 36 de la platine 31. Au centre de l'évidement 39 est aménagé un bossage cylindrique 41 emboîté dans l'alésage 37. A son extrémité dirigée vers la platine 31, le bossage 41 présente une collerette profilée 42 encliquetée sur l'épaulement 38. Les éléments 36 à 42 sont tous d'axe ZZ et assurent le pivotement du boîtier 13 relativement au corps 1.For its part, the bottom 14 of the housing 13 has a recess 39 in which fits the boss 36 of the plate 31. In the center of the recess 39 is arranged a cylindrical boss 41 fitted into the bore 37. At its end directed towards the plate 31, the boss 41 has a profiled flange 42 snapped onto the shoulder 38. The elements 36 to 42 are all of axis ZZ and ensure the pivoting of the housing 13 relative to the body 1.

En outre, le bossage 41 présente lui aussi un alésage axial traversant 43. Celui-ci communique avec l'intérieur d'un conduit souple 44 allant de l'alésage 37 de la platine 31 à un orifice 46 traversant la parai 7 de la cuve 4, dans lequel le conduit 44 est fixé de façon étanche. Entre les moyens de chauffe 22 et le conducteur 24, le conducteur 23 est engagé dans l'alésage 37 et le conduit 44.In addition, the boss 41 also has an axial through bore 43. This communicates with the interior of a flexible conduit 44 going from the bore 37 of the plate 31 to an orifice 46 passing through the wall 7 of the tank. 4, in which the duct 44 is tightly fixed. Between the heating means 22 and the conductor 24, the conductor 23 is engaged in the bore 37 and the conduit 44.

Le déversoir 27 est un tube rigide en aluminium, dont l'axe UU est parallèle aux axes XX, YY, ZZ. Il dépasse partiellement du boîtier 14 par une lumière 47 de ce dernier, et fait saillie en permanence dans la cuve de puisage 4.The weir 27 is a rigid aluminum tube, the axis UU of which is parallel to the axes XX, YY, ZZ. It partially protrudes from the housing 14 by a light 47 from the latter, and projects permanently into the drawing-off tank 4.

En position de service de l'appareil, le déversoir 27 est engagé dans une échancrure 48 ménagée dans la platine 31 entre le bossage 36 et le bord 33 qui en est le plus éloigné. Elle présente deux bords latéraux 49 en arcs de cercle centrés sur l'axe ZZ, et un fond 51 semi-circulaire dont le rayon est supérieur à celui du déversoir 51. Dans l'exemple représenté, la platine 31 est adjacente par ses bords 33 et 34 à une jupe 52 (figure 4) dirigée vers le fond 6 de la cuve 4, et l'échancrure 48 est raccordée à une échancrure rectangulaire 53 de la jupe 52.In the operating position of the device, the weir 27 is engaged in a notch 48 formed in the plate 31 between the boss 36 and the edge 33 which is the most distant from it. It has two lateral edges 49 in arcs of a circle centered on the axis ZZ, and a semi-circular bottom 51 whose radius is greater than that of the weir 51. In the example shown, the plate 31 is adjacent by its edges 33 and 34 to a skirt 52 (FIG. 4) directed towards the bottom 6 of the tank 4, and the notch 48 is connected to a rectangular notch 53 of the skirt 52.

Conformément à une particularité importante de l'invention, l'appareil comprend en outre une cloison métallique 54 qui définit dans la cuve 4 une préchambre 56 dans laquelle débouche le déversoir 27 en position de service.In accordance with an important feature of the invention, the device further comprises a metal partition 54 which defines in the tank 4 a prechamber 56 into which the weir 27 opens into the service position.

La base de la cloison 54 est adjacente au fond 6 de la cuve 4, et se trouve fixée à ce dernier par une patte rivetée 57.The base of the partition 54 is adjacent to the bottom 6 of the tank 4, and is fixed to the latter by a riveted tab 57.

La partie supérieure de la cloison 54 est jointive avec la jupe 52, de sorte que le profil de la cloison 54 correspond à celui de la platine 31 sous laquelle la préchambre 56 est logée.The upper part of the partition 54 is contiguous with the skirt 52, so that the profile of the partition 54 corresponds to that of the plate 31 under which the prechamber 56 is housed.

Dans l'exemple représenté, la cloison 54 revêt intérieurement la platine 31 et est finalement fixée au bord de la cuve 4 en commun avec la platine 31. Bien entendu, dans ce cas la cloison 54 présente des échancrures correspondant aux échancrures 48 et 53 de la platine 31 et de la jupe 52 pour permettre le passage du déversoir 27.In the example shown, the partition 54 internally covers the plate 31 and is finally fixed to the edge of the tank 4 in common with the plate 31. Of course, in this case the partition 54 has notches corresponding to the notches 48 and 53 of the plate 31 and the skirt 52 to allow passage of the weir 27.

Les deux parois latérales 58, situées à l'aplomb des bords 33 de la platine 31, ont chacune un angle inférieur chanfreiné de sorte qu'entre ces chanfreins et les parois de la cuve 4 sont ménagées deux ouïes 59 faisant communiquer la préchambre 56 avec la cuve 4 au voisinage immédiat du fond 6 de cette dernière.The two side walls 58, located directly above the edges 33 of the plate 31, each have a chamfered lower angle so that between these chamfers and the walls of the tank 4 are formed two openings 59 making the prechamber 56 communicate with the tank 4 in the immediate vicinity of the bottom 6 of the latter.

On va maintenant décrire le fonctionnement de l'appareil pour l'épilation à là cire, cette description incluant celle du procédé selon l'invention.We will now describe the operation of the apparatus for waxing there, this description including that of the method according to the invention.

Au début d'une opération d'épilation, on met l'appareil dans la position de service représentée aux figures 1 à 3, dans laquelle le déversoir 27 est en butée au fond 51 de l'échancrure 48, et on met de la cire dans la cuve 4 afin de l'y ramollir. On règle la température désirée pour la cire au moyen de la mollette 12. On prélève la cire fondue dans la cuve 4 et on l'applique en bandes sur la peau. Après solidification de la cire, on retire les bandelettes dont on forme des rouleauxqu'on dispose dans la cuve de filtration 17 garnie du filtre 21. Les bandelettes y sont transformées en un bain liquide qui s'écoule à travers le filtre 21 et le déversoir 27 dans la préchambre 56. Par les ouïes 59, la cire surchauffée rejoint la cire prête à l'application au voisinage immédiat du fond 6 de la cuve de puisage 4. Ainsi, la cire surchauffée n'est pas directement accessible à l'utilisation. En outre, la cire surchauffée influence aussitôt le thermostat 11 qui interrompt l'alimentation des moyens de chauffage 9.At the start of a hair removal operation, the appliance is placed in the service position shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in which the weir 27 is in abutment at the bottom 51 of the notch 48, and wax is put in tank 4 in order to soften it. The desired temperature for the wax is adjusted by means of the knob 12. The molten wax is taken from the tank 4 and applied in strips on the skin. After the wax has solidified, the strips are removed from which rollers are formed which are placed in the filtration tank 17 filled with the filter 21. The strips are transformed there into a liquid bath which flows through the filter 21 and the weir 27 in the pre-chamber 56. Through the vents 59, the superheated wax joins the wax ready for application in the vicinity immediately from the bottom 6 of the draw-off tank 4. Thus, the superheated wax is not directly accessible for use. In addition, the superheated wax immediately influences the thermostat 11 which interrupts the supply of the heating means 9.

Pour ranger l'appareil, on fait pivoter le boîtier 13 autour de l'axe ZZ. Dans l'exemple représenté où l'axe ZZ est en dehors du plan défini par les axes YY et XX (figure 3) en position de service, la rotation nécessaire pour passer en position de rangement est inférieure à 180°. En position de rangement, le déversoir 27 est en butée contre le bord 33 de la platine 31 opposé à l'échancrure 48 (position représentée en trait mixte à la figure 5). On peut alors mettre en place le couvercle 28 (figure 6).To store the device, the housing 13 is pivoted around the axis ZZ. In the example shown where the axis ZZ is outside the plane defined by the axes YY and XX (Figure 3) in the service position, the rotation required to move into the storage position is less than 180 °. In the storage position, the weir 27 abuts against the edge 33 of the plate 31 opposite the notch 48 (position shown in phantom in Figure 5). We can then set up the cover 28 (Figure 6).

On notera que l'invention, notamment dans le mode de réalisation représenté, exploite ingénieusement la position surélevée et décalée nécessaire pour la cuve de filtration en position de service, en vue de réaliser à l'aide d'une structure très simple et très économique un appareil ayant en position de rangement un encombrement compatible avec les exigences d'un usage domestique.It will be noted that the invention, in particular in the embodiment shown, ingeniously exploits the raised and offset position necessary for the filtration tank in the service position, with a view to achieving using a very simple and very economical structure. an appliance having in the storage position a space compatible with the requirements of domestic use.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple décrit et représenté.Of course, the invention is not limited to the example described and shown.

On pourrait en particulier prévoir que le boîtier tel que 13 est monté entre les extrémités de deux biellettes parallèles dont les autres extrémités sont articulées au bord de la cuve de puisage. En position de service, le boîtier repose sur le bord de la cuve de puisage. En position de rangement, il est emboîté dans la cuve de puisage.One could in particular provide that the housing such as 13 is mounted between the ends of two parallel rods the other ends of which are articulated at the edge of the drawing-off tank. In the service position, the housing rests on the edge of the drawing tank. In the storage position, it is fitted into the drawing tank.

On peut également prévoir que le boitier tel; que 13 soit monté coulissant sur une glissière placée radialement sur le rebord de la cuve de puisage. En position de rangement, les deux cuves seraient l'une sur l'autre et, en position de service, le boîtier 13 serait tiré au maximum vers l'extérieur pour dégager la cuve de puisage.We can also provide that the case such; that 13 is slidably mounted on a slide placed radially on the rim of the drawing-off tank. In the storage position, the two tanks would be one on top of the other and, in the service position, the housing 13 would be pulled out as far as possible to clear the drawing tank.
