Abstract

A switch is described for a hair-dressing appliance consisting of a winding mandrel (2), driven in rotation by a motor (1), and a hair dryer (3) whose outflow nozzle (4) is directed onto the winding mandrel (2), perpendicularly (5) to the axis of the winding mandrel (2) and tangentially to the circumference thereof. A switch (10) is provided for switching on and off the hair dryer and the drive motor (1) for the winding mandrel, the switch (10) being displaceable from an upper into a lower position, towards the handle, on the housing part (11) which is designed as a handle for a person operating the appliance. The switch (10) can moreover be tilted out of the plane of displacement and possesses two switching cams (12, 13), one switching cam (12) actuating a first contact (14) when displaced into the lower position located nearer to the handle (11), the motor (1) for the winding mandrel (2) being switched on by this switching cam (12), and this taking place independently of the tilting position of the switch (10). The second switching cam (13) is so designed that, when tilted, it actuates a second contact (15) by which the hair dryer (3) is switched off. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schalter für ein Haarbehandlungsgerät nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1The invention relates to a switch for a hair treatment device according to the preamble of patent claim 1

Ein Haarbehandlungsgerät dieser Art ist aus der EP-Patentschrift 0 052 325 bekannt.A hair treatment device of this type is known from EP patent 0 052 325.

Davon ausgehend ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, den Schalter so auszubilden, daß vier Funktionen möglich sind, nämlich
- Wickeldorn in Ruhe Haartrockner ein;
- Wickeldorn in Betrieb, Haartrockner ein;
- Wickeldorn in Ruhe, Haartrockner aus;
- Wickeldorn in Betrieb, Haartrockner aus.
Based on this, it is an object of the present invention to design the switch so that four functions are possible, namely
- Winding mandrel at rest in hair dryer;
- mandrel in operation, hair dryer on;
- winding mandrel at rest, hair dryer off;
- mandrel in operation, hair dryer off.

Es soll also möglich sein, Haartrockner und Wickeldorn unabhängig voneinander aus- und einzuschalten. Dies ergibt die genannten vier Kombinationsmöglichkeiten Dann ist es insbesondere möglich, ohne Einschalten des Haartrockners, also ohne Trocknung und damit ohne Heizung den Wickeldorn laufen zu lassen, um z.B das Haar ohne Trocknung, also lediglich zur Glättung und/oder Formgebung zu behandeln. Das kann auch z .B wünschenswert sein, um das Haar zu kühlen, da ja - bei dem bekannten Gerät - in jedem Fall durch die Öffnungen im Wickeldorn und die darauf aufgewickelten Haare Luft abgesaugt wird.It should therefore be possible to switch the hair dryer and winding mandrel on and off independently of one another. This results in the four possible combinations mentioned. In particular, it is possible to run the mandrel without switching on the hair dryer, i.e. without drying and thus without heating, for example to treat the hair without drying, i.e. only for smoothing and / or shaping. This can also be desirable, for example, to cool the hair, since - in the known device - air is always sucked out through the openings in the mandrel and the hair wound on it.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe mit den Mitteln des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst Die vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen definiert.According to the invention this object is achieved by means of claim 1. The advantageous refinements of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung und seiner vorteilhaften Weiterbildung sind im folgenden anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen beschrieben. Es stellen dar:

  • Figur 1 ein Haarbehandlungsgerät, bei dem der erfindungsgemäße Schalter eingesetzt wird;
  • Figur 2 eine auseinandergezogene Ansicht eines Ausführungsbeispiels des Schalters;
  • Figur 3 eine Ansicht (entsprechend Figur 1 ), jedoch im größeren Teil des Schalters und der mit ihm zusammenwirkenden Kontaktefedern 14′ bzw. 15′ der Kontakte 14, 15;
  • Figur 4 schematische Darstellung zur Kenntlichmachung der Betriebszustände.
An embodiment of the invention and its advantageous development are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. They represent:
  • 1 shows a hair treatment device in which the switch according to the invention is used;
  • Figure 2 is an exploded view of an embodiment of the switch;
  • Figure 3 is a view (corresponding to Figure 1), but in the larger part of the switch and the cooperating contact springs 14 'and 15' of the contacts 14, 15;
  • Figure 4 is a schematic representation to identify the operating conditions.

Das bekannte Haarbehandlungsgerät besteht aus einem Motor 1, der in einem Handgriff 11 eine Hülse 6 antreibt, die wiederum einen Wickeldorn 2 aufnimmt, der mit Öffnungen 7 versehen ist. Der Wickeldorn 2 und Hülse 6 sind mit einem Saugkanal 7 versehen. Über einen Schlauch 8 ist der Handgriff mit einer Quelle für Unterdruck verbunden. An den Handgriff 11 ist das Gehäuse 9 angeformt. Es trägt den Haartrockner 3 mit der Ausströmdüse 4. Die Ausströmung der Heißluft erfolgt in Strömungsrichtung 5.The known hair treatment device consists of a motor 1 which drives a sleeve 6 in a handle 11, which in turn receives a winding mandrel 2 which is provided with openings 7. The winding mandrel 2 and sleeve 6 are provided with a suction channel 7. The handle is connected to a source of negative pressure via a hose 8. The housing 9 is molded onto the handle 11. It carries the hair dryer 3 with the outlet nozzle 4. The hot air flows out in the direction of flow 5.

Erfindungsgemäß ist nun der Schalter 10 derart ausgebildet, daß er die eingangs bei Erörterung der Aufgabenstellung angegebenen vier Funktionen erfüllen kann. Dazu ist er auf und ab verschieblich (Pfeile 100 in Figur 1) Er ist ferner kippbar (Pfeile 101 in Figur 1).According to the invention, the switch 10 is now designed in such a way that it can fulfill the four functions specified at the outset when the task is discussed. For this purpose, it can be moved up and down (arrows 100 in FIG. 1). It can also be tilted (arrows 101 in FIG. 1).

Der Aufbau, der dies ermöglicht ergibt sich aus Figur 2 und 3.The structure that enables this is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

Wie ersichtlich, wird der eigentliche Schalter durch das Plättchen 10 gebildet, an dessen beiden Seiten die Schaltnocken 12 und 13 angeformt sind. An diesen Schaltnocken nach außen hin sind wiederum Führungsstege 30 angeformt. Diese Führungsstege laufen in fest angeordneten Rahmen 31. An die Stege bzw. die Schaltnocken unten sind Kegelstümpfe 21 angeformt, die von Federn 22 aufgenommen werden. In diesem Rahmen ist also der Schalter 10 auf und ab verschiebar, wobei er stets von der Feder in die obere Schaltstellung gedrückt wird und von einer Bedienungsperson, die auf die untere Betätigungsfläche 20′ des Schalters 10 drückt, an den Handgriff 11 herangezogen werden kann. Ferner ist der Schalter 10 (Plättchen 20 mit Schaltnocken 12, 13, Führungsstegen 30 und Kegelstümpfen 21) innerhalb des Rahmens 31 aus der in Figur 3 gezeigten Stellung mit seinem oberen Ende nach links kippbar, und zwar solange, bis seine Fläche 32 an der Innenfläche des Rahmens 31 anstößt, während in der gezeigten Ausgangsstellung die Fläche 33 des Führungssteges 30 an der rechten Innenfläche des Rahmens 31 anliegt.As can be seen, the actual switch is formed by the plate 10, on both sides of which the switching cams 12 and 13 are formed. Guide webs 30 are in turn molded onto these switching cams on the outside. These guide webs run in a fixed frame 31. Truncated cones 21 are formed on the webs or the switching cams at the bottom, which are received by springs 22. In this context, the switch 10 can be moved up and down, whereby it is always pressed by the spring into the upper switching position and can be used by an operator who presses the lower actuating surface 20 'of the switch 10 on the handle 11. Furthermore, the switch 10 (plate 20 with switching cams 12, 13, guide webs 30 and truncated cones 21) within the frame 31 can be tilted from the position shown in FIG. 3 with its upper end to the left, until its surface 32 on the inner surface of the frame 31 abuts, while in the starting position shown, the surface 33 of the guide web 30 rests on the right inner surface of the frame 31.

Der Schaltnocken 12 ist in der aus Figur 2 ersichtlichen Form ausgebildet, d.h. er weist eine von rechts unten nach links oben verlaufende schräge Fläche 12′ auf. Diese Fläche bewirkt bei einem Herabdrücken des Schalters, also bei einer Bewegung von oben nach unten, daß der Schaltnocken 12 auf die Kontaktfeder 14′ des ersten Kontaktes 14 einwirkt und diesen Kontakt damit schließt. Dieser Kontakt wird dazu verwendet, den Antriebsmotor 1 des Wickeldorns 2 einzuschalten.The switching cam 12 is formed in the form shown in Figure 2, that is, it has a sloping surface 12 'running from bottom right to top left. This surface causes when the switch is pressed down, that is, when moving from top to bottom, that the switching cam 12 acts on the contact spring 14 'of the first contact 14 and closes this contact therewith. This contact is used to switch on the drive motor 1 of the winding mandrel 2.

Der zweite Schaltnocken 13 hat ebenfalls eine Fläche 13′, die zum Schalten dient. Diese Fläche läuft jedoch parallel zu der Richtung der Auf- und Abverschiebung des gesamten Schalters 10 in der oben diskutierten Weise; die Fläche 13′ führt also nur dann zu einem Schaltkontakt mit der Kontaktfeder 15′ des zweiten Kontaktes 15, wenn der Schalter 10 in der besprochenen Weise (Richtung 101 in Figur 1) gekippt wird. Das Schließen des Kontaktes 15 durch diese Schließbewegung kann schaltungsmäßig dazu umgesetzt werden, den Haartrockner 3 auszuschalten, so daß der Motor 1 zwar weiterläuft und auch durch den Saugkanal 7 und die Öffnungen 7′ weiterhin feuchte Luft von dem auf dem Wickeldorn 2 aufgewickelten Haar abgesaugt wird, jedoch ohne gleichzeitige Trocknung.The second switching cam 13 also has a surface 13 ', which is used for switching. However, this area runs parallel to the direction of up and down displacement of the entire switch 10 in the manner discussed above; the surface 13 'thus only leads to a switching contact with the contact spring 15' of the second contact 15 when the switch 10 is tilted in the manner discussed (direction 101 in Figure 1). The closing of the contact 15 by this closing movement can be implemented in terms of circuit to turn off the hair dryer 3, so that the motor 1 continues to run and also through the suction channel 7 and the openings 7 ', moist air is still sucked out of the hair wound on the mandrel 2 , but without simultaneous drying.

Der Schalter 10 ist, wie in Figur 2 eingezeichnet, zur bequemen Handhabung mit zwei Fingerlegemulden 40, 41 ausgebildet, so daß eine Bedienungsperson, die den Handgriff 11 umfaßt und mit dem Zeigefinger den Umschalter 10 betätigt, ihren Zeigefinger entweder in die Mulde 40 oder 41 legen kann, je nach dem, ob sie den Schalter nach unten drücken, ihn dabei gleichzeitig kippen, oder ihn in der oberen Stellung nur kippen will.As shown in FIG. 2, the switch 10 is designed for easy handling with two finger recesses 40, 41, so that an operator, who includes the handle 11 and actuates the changeover switch 10 with his index finger, either puts his index finger into the recess 40 or 41 depending on whether you press the switch down, tilt it at the same time, or just want to tilt it in the upper position.

Schematisch sind die Betriebszustände in Figur 4 angedeutet. In der oberen der drei Figuren ist gezeigt, daß ohne Kippen die Bewegung lediglich von oben nach unten dazu führt, daß bei eingeschaltetem Trockner der Wickeldorn in der unteren Stellung betätigt werden kann. In der mittleren Stellung verbleibt der Schalter in einer oberen Stellung, wird jedoch gekippt. Der Wickeldorn wird nicht angetrieben; der Haartrockner ist ausgeschaltet. In dem Betriebszustand, der in der unteren der drei Figuren nach Figur 4 dargestellt ist, ist der Haartrockner ausgeschaltet, hingegen der Motor 1 für den Wickeldorn 2 eingeschaltet.The operating states are indicated schematically in FIG. 4. The upper of the three figures shows that, without tilting, the movement only leads from top to bottom so that the winding mandrel can be actuated in the lower position when the dryer is switched on. The remains in the middle position Switch in an upper position, but is tilted. The winding mandrel is not driven; the hairdryer is switched off. In the operating state, which is shown in the lower of the three figures according to FIG. 4, the hair dryer is switched off, whereas the motor 1 for the winding mandrel 2 is switched on.
