Definitions

  • the present invention relates to depilatory devices designed to be held in the hand and which include movable tearing members driven by an electric motor housed inside a small housing.
  • French patent application 2 307 491 describes an apparatus comprising two pairs of rollers rotating in opposite directions and which are intended to ensure the pulling out of the bristles engaging between them.
  • 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 sufficiently efficiently 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 comprise rotary members for removing hairs, for example the device described in French patent application 2 334 320.
  • the effectiveness 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 aim of the present invention is to produce a small device intended for the same use, but which is designed so as to present optimum efficiency and nevertheless to 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 alternating translational movement and they consist for this purpose in two combs mounted movable 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 play 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 fitted to 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.
  • the movable combs thereof are formed by two superimposed blades whose longitudinal edges are, on each side, cut so as to form the teeth of the two pairs of combs, and are bent by so that the nested teeth of each comb are arranged in the same plane.
  • 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. incorporated or rechargeable batteries.
  • this motor imparts an alternative translational movement to a drive arm or finger 3 whose free end is is located opposite the end of the housing 1 which includes the working head of this device.
  • this working head comprises two pairs of tearing 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 5b 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).
  • 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 X - Y as the drive finger 3. However, only one of these blades, in this case the lower blade, 4 is coupled with this finger drive, 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 it is mounted freely movable in translation along the axis X - Y.
  • 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 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 existing between two successive teeth 5a 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 eliminated 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 5Ei 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 F1, it now carries 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 bristles P which were trapped between the teeth of the pair of combs then used for the 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 the pulling, which allows the engagement of hairs therebetween. Then, the same process as above is repeated during the continuation of the movement of the blade driven in the direction of the 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.
  • 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 makes it possible to obtain 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 pressure of clamping 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 above.
