Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a depilatory device intended to be held in the hand.
  • a depilatory device intended to be held in the hand comprising a series of parallel discs fixed on a hub driven in rotation by an electric motor, blades arranged between the discs, means for bringing said blades into contact with the periphery of the discs and separating them alternately during the rotation of the discs, said means comprising rods cooperating with the blades and capable of sliding parallel to the axis of the hub.
  • the blades are integral with the rod which carries them, so that when this rod slides, the blades move together parallel to themselves and therefore in principle simultaneously come into contact with the discs to produce a pinching effect. likely to remove hair from the skin.
  • a hair removal device comprising discs carried by a hub and pinching blades, in which the hub comprises between the discs a series of notches each retaining one end of a blade, each rod comprising a series of notches, each of these notches retaining a part of a blade located between its aforementioned end and its other end capable of coming to bear against the periphery of a disk.
  • These notches are shaped so as to allow a pivoting movement of the blades between a position separated from the discs and a position in contact with the periphery of the latter.
  • the blades are thus taken between two series of notches formed respectively on the hub and on the rod, so that the sliding of this rod rotates the blades in the notches of the hub, these as well as those formed on the rod constituting points of articulation.
  • This fixed slot therefore has a role of guiding the hairs towards the rotating discs but does not make it possible to straighten the hairs lying on the skin.
  • the protruding beak may irritate or scratch the skin.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of known depilatory devices.
  • the invention thus relates to a depilatory device intended to be held in the hand, comprising a series of parallel discs fixed on a hub driven in rotation by an electric motor, pinching blades arranged between the discs, means for bringing said blades in contact with the periphery of the discs and separate them alternately during the rotation of the discs and brushing means for brushing the hairs to be depilated.
  • this epilating device is characterized in that the brushing means are driven in rotation at the same time as the discs.
  • said means for brushing the hairs to be depilated comprise tufts of bristles extending between the discs, the base of these bristles being made integral with the hub which carries the discs.
  • the tufts of bristles extend substantially radially relative to the axis of the hub.
  • This radial arrangement of the tufts is also favorable to the straightening of the hairs to be depilated and therefore to their engagement between the discs.
  • the free end of the tufts of hair protrudes slightly beyond the peripheral edge of the discs.
  • This feature improves the effectiveness of brushing provided by tufts of hair.
  • the width of the tufts of bristles corresponds substantially to the distance which separates each pair of discs.
  • the tufts cover the entire area between the discs and are thus able to straighten all the hairs that may be in this area.
  • the bristles of the brushing tufts must be stiff enough to produce a straightening effect vis-à-vis the bristles, without being too stiff, however, so as not to irritate the skin.
  • the tufts of tufts must be close enough to each other to produce the desired effect of straightening the hairs to be plucked.
  • the hair-removing appliance according to the invention has a structure identical to that described in French patent application FR-A-2 648 332 in the name of the applicant.
  • This epilating device comprises a series of parallel discs 2 fixed on a hub 3 rotated by an electric motor, pinching blades not shown in Figures 1 and 2 arranged between the discs and rods to bring said blades into contact with the periphery of the discs 2.
  • the pinching blades and their control rod have not been shown.
  • the epilating appliance comprises means for brushing the hairs to be epilated, these means being driven in rotation at the same time as the discs 2.
  • the means for brushing the bristles to be depilated comprise tufts of bristles 20 extending between the discs 2, the base of these bristles being made integral with the hub 3 which carries the discs 2.
  • the tufts of bristles 20 extend substantially radially with respect to the axis XX ′ of the hub 3.
  • the width of the tufts of bristles 20 corresponds substantially to the distance d which separates each pair of discs 2.
  • the tufts of bristles 20 are fixed to a common base 21 which extends along the hub 3 of the discs 2.
  • the device comprises two rows of tufts of bristles 20 each fixed to a base 21, these two bases 21 being arranged diametrically opposite with respect to the axis X-X of the hub 3.
  • FIG. 3 also shows that the tufts of bristles 20 are located in a plane P perpendicular to the plane of symmetry Q of the series of blades 22.
  • the bases 21 have a substantially trapezoidal section whose large base is in abutment against a flat part 24 of the hub 3.
  • the sides adjacent to the large and small bases of the trapezium are fitted into the notches of complementary shapes 23 formed in the discs 2.
  • FIG. 3 also shows in section the rods 25 which pass through the discs 2 and the nipping blades 22 and which serve to control the pivoting of the latter between a position spaced from the discs and a position of support on the latter.
  • the discs 2 are not entirely circular, but have cutouts 26 in which the notches 23 are formed which retain the bases 21 of the tufts 20
  • cutouts 26 are angularly offset relative to the axis XX ′, so that the bases 21 are retained by pairs of enco ches 23 practiced not in the same disc 2, but by two neighboring discs, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the tufts of bristles 20 can be fixed in openings made in the bases 21 or be directly fixed to them during the molding of the plastic of the latter.
  • the tufts of bristles 20 come into contact with the skin 27 (see FIG. 4) in the area where the discs 2 themselves bear on this skin. These tufts of bristles 20 thus brush the bristles 28 lying or pressed against the skin 27, which has the effect of straightening these bristles 28. Thanks to this straightening of the bristles 28, they can engage between the discs 2 and in particular between these and the pinch blades 22 which can thus tear them from the skin.
  • tufts of bristles 20 at a location angularly spaced from the pinch blades 20, does not cause any discomfort in the operation of the device, nor any complexity in the manufacture thereof.
  • arrangement of tufts 20 at 90 ° to the blades 22 and their control rods 25 allows a better balance of the masses, capable of limiting vibrations.
  • the tufts of bristles 20 promote the elimination of hairs pulled from the skin and limit the clogging of the device by the hairs pulled out.
  • the tufts of bristles 20 instead of being aligned in rows, could be offset from each other.
  • the tufts section instead of being circular, could be square or rectangular.
  • the bristles of brushes instead of being arranged in tufts, could extend in a homogeneous fashion in one or more continuous rows.
  • the tufts or rows of bristles could also be located directly in the hub.
