Definitions
- the present invention relates to depilatory devices designed to be held in the hand and which comprise movable tearing members driven by an electric motor housed inside a small housing. There are already a number of such devices.
- French patent application 2,307. - * - 91 describes an apparatus comprising two pairs of rollers rotating in opposite directions and which are intended to ensure the uprooting of the hairs engaging therebetween.
- the effectiveness of this device is limited. This is due to the nature of the organs used to pull the hairs. Indeed, the latter are not gripped in a sufficiently effective manner between the rotating rollers.
- the point where the bristles are actually gripped between the two rollers that is to say the point of contact between them, is necessarily located far behind the corresponding end of the housing of the apparatus. Consequently, this device can only grasp and pluck hairs that are already of a certain length.
- depilatory devices which also include rotary hair-pulling members, for example the device described in French patent application 2.33 * -. '320.
- the efficiency of these devices also leaves something to be desired.
- the cost price of these devices is relatively high, taking into account the presence of the mechanisms necessary to ensure the rotational drive of the members for removing the hairs to be eliminated.
- the present invention aims to achieve a small device for the same use, but which is designed to have optimum efficiency and nevertheless include a limited cost price.
- this device is essentially characterized in that the tearing members provided therein are designed to be able to be coupled with a drive member driven by an alternative translational movement and they consist for this purpose in two combs mounted mobile in translation along the same axis as the drive member actuated by the motor, but only one of which is coupled with the drive member, while the other is mounted idly, the teeth of these two combs being arranged in the same plane and nested with each other with a certain clearance between them.
- the present device has a very high efficiency.
- its working head is very simple and does not include a complicated or expensive mechanism.
- this working head can be driven by a mechanical device of very simple design, of the type of those equipping many electric razors.
- the working head of the present device constitutes in itself one of the objects of the present invention, since this head can be adapted on the drive finger provided in certain already existing devices.
- FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view of a hair-removing appliance according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a view, partly in side elevation and partly in section, of the head of the trayail of this apparatus, which is shown on a different scale, the left part of this figure illustrating a position in which the teeth of the combs are spread apart , however that its right part represents a position in which these teeth are in contact on one side.
- Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view along the line III-III of Figure 2;
- Figure 4 is a partial view, in perspective and in cross section, of the movable combs of this working head
- Figures 5 "6 and 7 are partial views in top plan of the two combs tear provided on one of c ⁇ tés of the working head, these views illustrating schéraatiqueraent three successive phases of the operation of pinching and pulling out of the hairs to be removed, with a deliberately exaggerated deviation of the teeth of the combs, for a better understanding of the drawing.
- the device according to the invention comprises a small box 1 capable of being held in the hand, and inside which is provided an electric motor 2 powered either by a connection to the electrical current distribution sector, or by batteries. built-in or rechargeable batteries.
- this motor imparts an alternative movement of translation to a drive arm or finger 3 whose free end is located opposite the end of the housing 1 which includes the working head of this device.
- this working head comprises two pairs of lifting combs which are located on both of the longitudinal edges of this head.
- These combs are formed by two superimposed blades 4 and 5, the longitudinal edges of which are, on each side, cut so as to constitute the teeth 4a and 5a of one of the two combs as well as the teeth 4b and 5 of the other. comb.
- these two blades have a bend on both sides so that their teeth are arranged in the same plane, these teeth being nested with a certain play (see Figure 4).
- Au-des ⁇ u ⁇ of the two blades 4 and 5 is disposed a fixed cover 6 whose longitudinal edges are also cut to form the teeth 6a and 6b of two fixed protective combs.
- the two blades 4 and 5 are mounted movable in translation along the same axis XY as the drive finger 3- However, only one of these blades, in this case the lower blade, 4 is coupled with this drive finger, for example by means of a stud 7 engaged in a blind hole 8 formed in the corresponding end of this drive finger.
- the other blade 5 t it is mounted freely movable in translation along the XY axis.
- the lower blade 4 is guided in its movements by slides 9 formed on the edges 10 of the corresponding end of the housing 1.
- the upper blade is guided in its movements both by the lower blade 4 and by ribs of guide 11 carried by the internal face of the fixed cover 6.
- each of the teeth 4a or 4b of the combs of the lower blade is located in the middle of the interval between two successive teeth a or 5b of the combs of the upper blade. There is thus an interval a on each side of a tooth 4a or 4b of the lower blade (see FIG. 5). Under these conditions, hairs P to be removed can engage at this time in these different intervals.
- each of the teeth 4a or 4b of its combs first comes into contact with the tooth 5a or 5b opposite the corresponding comb carried by the upper blade 5 which has remained stationary during this time. This therefore causes pinching, between these teeth, of the hairs P which had engaged in the intervals a (see FIG. 6). Then, as the driven blade 4 continues its translational movement along the arrow FI, it now drives with it the crazy blade 5 by pressing the teeth 4a and 4b of its combs against the teeth 5a and 5b of this second blade (see FIG. 7 ) - This thus ensures the uprooting of the hairs P which were trapped between the teeth of the pair of combs then used for uprooting.
- the driven blade 4 After it has reached the end of its travel in one direction, the driven blade 4 is brought back in the opposite direction by the finger 3- At the start of movement, there is a maximum interval b between the teeth of the two combs used for uprooting, which allows the engagement of hairs therebetween. Then, the same process as above is repeated when continuing the movement of the blade driven in the direction of arrow F2, and so on.
- the stroke of the driven blade 4 in one direction and in the other may for example be of the order of 3 to 6 mm with an initial displacement of the order of 0.5 mm to 1 mm for pinching the hairs between the teeth of the combs used for uprooting. However, these are only indicative values.
- the idler blade 5 To avoid excessive freedom of movement of the idler blade 5, it can be mounted between two springs, for example two spring blades 12 pressing on tabs 13 carried by both ends of this blade . This results in elastic braking of the mad blade 5 . which allows to obtain a good pinching of the bristles P between the teeth of the two combs used for pulling out.
- the braking of the mad upper blade 5 could be ensured by other means, for example by an elastic clamping pressure of the latter against the driven blade 4, or even by friction pads or other suitable organs of braking.
- the working head of the present epilating device constitutes in itself one of the objects of the present invention.
- this work head could be marketed independently to be adapted to certain electric shavers or the like.
- the apparatus according to the invention and its working head are not limited to the single example which has been described previously.
