Description
La présente invention concerne un appareil à épiler destiné à être tenu à la main.The present invention relates to a depilatory device intended to be held in the hand.
On connaît selon la demande de brevet européen EP-A-147 285 un appareil à épiler destiné à être tenu à la main comportant une série de disques parallèles fixés sur un moyeu entraîné en rotation par un moteur électrique, des lames disposées entre les disques, des moyens pour amener lesdites lames en contact avec la périphérie des disques et les en séparer alternativement lors de la rotation des disques, lesdits moyens comprenant des tiges coopérant avec les lames et pouvant coulisser parallèlement à l'axe du moyeu.Known according to European patent application EP-A-147 285 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.
Le coulissement de ces tiges est commandé par une came fixe portée par l'extrémité du boîtier adjacente aux tiges. Cette came pousse les tiges contre l'action d'un ressort de rappel situé à l'opposé de la came.The sliding of these rods is controlled by a fixed cam carried by the end of the housing adjacent to the rods. This cam pushes the rods against the action of a return spring located opposite the cam.
Dans cet appareil, les lames sont solidaires de la tige qui les porte, de sorte que lorsque cette tige coulisse, les lames se déplacent ensemble parallèlement à elles-mêmes et viennent donc en principe simultanément en contact avec les disques pour produire un effet de pincement susceptible de retirer les poils de la peau.In this device, 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.
On connaît également selon la demande de brevet français FR-A-2 648 332 au nom de la demanderesse un appareil à épiler comportant des disques portés par un moyeu et des lames de pincement, dans lequel le moyeu comporte entre les disques une série d'encoches retenant chacune une extrémité d'une lame, chaque tige comportant une série d'encoches, chacune de ces encoches retenant une partie d'une lame située entre son extrémité précitée et son autre extrémité susceptible de venir en appui contre la périphérie d'un disque. Ces encoches sont conformées de façon à permettre un mouvement de pivotement des lames entre une position écartée des disques et une position en contact avec la périphérie de ceux-ci.Also known according to French patent application FR-A-2 648 332 in the name of the applicant 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.
Les lames sont ainsi prises entre deux séries d'encoches ménagées respectivement sur le moyeu et sur la tige, de sorte que le coulissement de cette tige fait pivoter les lames dans les encoches du moyeu, celles-ci ainsi que celles ménagées sur la tige constituant des points d'articulation.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.
Grâce à ce pivotement des lames, les extrémités de celles-ci arrivent en contact avec la périphérie des disques en produisant un effet de pincement capable de retirer les poils de la peau.Thanks to this pivoting of the blades, the ends of the blades come into contact with the periphery of the discs, producing a pinching effect capable of removing the hairs from the skin.
L'efficacité de ces appareils est tributaire du fait que les poils à épiler puissent s'engager entre les disques pour pouvoir être pincés par les lames.The effectiveness of these devices is dependent on the fact that the hair to be depilated can engage between the discs so that they can be pinched by the blades.
Or, il a été constaté que les poils étaient souvent couchés ou plaqués sur la peau par l'effet d'appui des disques eux-mêmes, de sorte que les poils ne peuvent pas s'engager entre les disques pour être arrachés par les lames de pincement.However, it was found that the hairs were often lying or pressed against the skin by the bearing effect of the discs themselves, so that the hairs can not engage between the discs to be pulled out by the blades pinch.
On connait selon la demande précitée de brevet européen EP-A-147 285 qui sert de base au préambule de la revendication indépendante 1 un appareil à épiler qui comprend des moyens pour brosser les poils à épiler, ces moyens étant constitués d'une fente dont l'un des bords présente un bec saillant destiné à "ratisser" en quelque sorte les poils.Known according to the aforementioned European patent application EP-A-147 285 which serves as a basis for the preamble of independent claim 1 a hair-removing device which comprises means for brushing the hair to be depilated, these means consisting of a slot, one of the edges has a protruding beak intended to "rake" the hairs in a way.
Cette fente fixe a donc un rôle de guidage des poils vers les disques rotatifs mais ne permet pas de redresser les poils couchés sur la peau.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.
De plus, si l'action de "ratissage" est réalisée au contact de la peau, le bec saillant peut irriter ou griffer la peau.In addition, if the "raking" action is carried out in contact with the skin, the protruding beak may irritate or scratch the skin.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients des appareils à épiler connus.The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of known depilatory devices.
L'invention vise ainsi un appareil à épiler destiné à être tenu à la main, comportant une série de disques parallèles fixés sur un moyeu entraîné en rotation par un moteur électrique, des lames de pincement disposées entre les disques, des moyens pour amener lesdites lames en contact avec la périphérie des disques et les en séparer alternativement lors de la rotation des disques et des moyens de brossage pour brosser les poils à épiler.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.
Suivant l'invention, cet appareil à épiler est caractérisé en ce que les moyens de brossage sont entraînés en rotation en même temps que les disques.According to the invention, this epilating device is characterized in that the brushing means are driven in rotation at the same time as the discs.
Ces moyens de brossage qui tournent en même temps que les disques, redressent les poils à épiler dans la zone où les disques prennent appui sur la peau, de sorte que ces poils redressés s'engagent entre les disques rotatifs de l'appareil où ils sont ainsi pincés par les lames et arrachés.These brushing means which rotate at the same time as the discs, straighten the bristles in the area where the discs are supported on the skin, so that these straightened bristles engage between the rotating discs of the device where they are thus pinched by the blades and torn off.
Les essais ont montré que ces moyens de brossage augmentaient de façon surprenante l'efficacité des appareils à épiler à disques rotatifs.Tests have shown that these brushing means surprisingly increase the efficiency of hair removal devices with rotating discs.
Selon une version avantageuse de l'invention, lesdits moyens pour brosser les poils à épiler comportent des touffes de poils s'étendant entre les disques, la base de ces poils étant rendue solidaire du moyeu qui porte les disques.According to an advantageous version of the invention, 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.
Lors de leur rotation, ces touffes de poils solidaires du moyeu des disques redressent les poils dans la zone comprise entre chaque paire de disques en favorisant ainsi leur pénétration entre ces derniers.During their rotation, these tufts of bristles integral with the hub of the discs straighten the bristles in the zone between each pair of discs, thereby promoting their penetration therebetween.
Selon une version préférée de l'invention, les touffes de poils s'étendent sensiblement radialement par rapport à l'axe du moyeu.According to a preferred version of the invention, the tufts of bristles extend substantially radially relative to the axis of the hub.
Cette disposition radiale des touffes est également favorable au redressement des poils à épiler et par conséquent à leur engagement entre les disques.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.
De préférence, l'extrémité libre des touffes de poils fait légèrement saillie au-delà du bord périphérique des disques.Preferably, the free end of the tufts of hair protrudes slightly beyond the peripheral edge of the discs.
Cette particularité améliore l'efficacité du brossage assuré par les touffes de poils.This feature improves the effectiveness of brushing provided by tufts of hair.
De préférence également, la largeur des touffes de poils correspond sensiblement à la distance qui sépare chaque paire de disques.Preferably also, the width of the tufts of bristles corresponds substantially to the distance which separates each pair of discs.
Ainsi, les touffes couvrent toute la zone comprise entre les disques et sont ainsi aptes à redresser tous les poils susceptibles de se trouver dans cette zone.Thus, the tufts cover the entire area between the discs and are thus able to straighten all the hairs that may be in this area.
Bien entendu, les poils des touffes de brossage devront être suffisamment raides pour produire un effet de redressement vis-à-vis des poils à épiler, sans être trop raides cependant pour ne pas irriter la peau. Par ailleurs, les poils des touffes devront être suffisamment proches les uns des autres pour produire l'effet recherché de redressement des poils à épiler.Of course, 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. Furthermore, the tufts of tufts must be close enough to each other to produce the desired effect of straightening the hairs to be plucked.
D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore dans la description ci-après.Other features and advantages of the invention will appear in the description below.

L'appareil à épiler conforme à l'invention a une structure identique à celle décrite dans la demande de brevet français FR-A-2 648 332 au nom de la demanderesse.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.
Cet appareil à épiler comporte une série de disques parallèles 2 fixés sur un moyeu 3 entraîné en rotation par un moteur électrique, des lames de pincement non représentées sur les figures 1 et 2 disposées entre les disques et des tiges pour amener lesdites lames en contact avec la périphérie des disques 2. Pour simplifier les figures 1 et 2, les lames de pincement ainsi que leur tige de commande n'ont pas été représentées. Pour la description détaillée de ces lames de pincement et de leur tige de commande, il est fait référence ici à la description de la demande de brevet français FR-A-2 648 332.This epilating device comprises a series of
Conformément à l'invention, l'appareil à épiler comprend des moyens pour brosser les poils à épiler, ces moyens étant entraînés en rotation en même temps que les disques 2.According to the invention, the epilating appliance comprises means for brushing the hairs to be epilated, these means being driven in rotation at the same time as the
Dans la réalisation représentée sur les figures, les moyens pour brosser les poils à épiler comportent des touffes de poils 20 s'étendant entre les disques 2, la base de ces poils étant rendue solidaire du moyeu 3 qui porte les disques 2.In the embodiment shown in the figures, the means for brushing the bristles to be depilated comprise tufts of
Par ailleurs, les touffes de poils 20 s'étendent sensiblement radialement par rapport à l'axe X-X' du moyeu 3.Furthermore, the tufts of
On voit également sur les figures 2 et 3 que l'extrémité libre 20a des touffes de poils 20 fait légèrement saillie au-delà du bord périphérique 2a des disques 2.It can also be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3 that the
En outre, comme le montre la figure 2, la largeur des touffes de poils 20 correspond sensiblement à la distance d qui sépare chaque paire de disques 2.In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the width of the tufts of
Par ailleurs, dans la réalisation représentée, les touffes de poils 20 sont fixées à une embase 21 commune qui s'étend le long du moyeu 3 des disques 2.Furthermore, in the embodiment shown, the tufts of
Comme montré par la figure 3, l'appareil comporte deux rangées de touffes de poils 20 fixées chacune à une embase 21, ces deux embases 21 étant disposées de façon diamétralement opposées par rapport à l'axe X-X du moyeu 3.As shown in FIG. 3, the device comprises two rows of tufts of
Cette figure 3 montre également que les touffes de poils 20 sont situées dans un plan P perpendiculaire au plan de symétrie Q des séries de lames 22.This FIG. 3 also shows that the tufts of
On voit également sur cette figure 3 que les embases 21 des touffes de poils 20 sont retenues par des encoches 23 pratiquées dans les disques 2.It can also be seen in this FIG. 3 that the
Dans cet exemple, les embases 21 présentent une section sensiblement trapézoïdale dont la grande base est en appui contre une partie plane 24 du moyeu 3. Les côtés adjacents aux grande et petite bases du trapèze sont emboîtées dans les encoches de formes complémentaires 23 ménagées dans les disques 2.In this example, the
La figure 3 représente également en section les tiges 25 qui traversent les disques 2 et les lames de pincement 22 et qui servent à commander le pivotement de ces dernières entre une position espacée des disques et une position d'appui sur ces dernières.FIG. 3 also shows in section the
Sur cette figure 3, on voit en outre, que les disques 2 ne sont pas entièrement circulaires, mais présentent des découpes 26 dans lesquelles sont pratiquées les encoches 23 qui retiennent les embases 21 des touffes 20In this FIG. 3, it can also be seen that the
Ces découpes 26 sont décalées angulairement par rapport à l'axe X-X', de telle sorte que les embases 21 sont retenues par des paires d'encoches 23 pratiquées non pas dans un même disque 2, mais par deux disques voisins, comme montrés par la figure 2.These
Les touffes de poils 20 peuvent être fixées dans des ouvertures pratiquées dans les embases 21 ou être directement fixées à celles-ci lors du moulage de la matière plastique de ces dernières.The tufts of
Le fonctionnement de l'appareil à épiler que l'on vient de décrire est le suivant :
- Après mise en route du moteur électrique, le
moyeu 3 entraîné par celui-ci fait tourner autour de l'axe X-X', l'ensemble du rouleau rotatif, à savoir lesdisques 2, les lames depincement 22 et les touffes depoils 20 liées aumoyeu 3 par lesembases 21.
- After starting the electric motor, the
hub 3 driven by the latter rotates around the axis XX ′, the assembly of the rotary roller, namely thediscs 2, thepinching blades 22 and the tufts ofbristles 20 linked to thehub 3 by thebases 21.
Lors de cette rotation, les lames 22 pivotent et viennent en appui contre les disques 2, comme décrit dans le brevet français FR-A-2 648 332 de la demanderesse, ce qui a pour effet de pincer les poils de la peau et de les arracher.During this rotation, the
Lors de cette rotation, les touffes de poils 20 viennent en contact avec la peau 27 (voir figure 4) dans la zone où les disques 2 prennent eux-mêmes appui sur cette peau. Ces touffes de poils 20 brossent ainsi les poils 28 couchés ou plaqués sur la peau 27, ce qui a pour effet de redresser ces poils 28. Grâce à ce redressement des poils 28, ceux-ci peuvent s'engager entre les disques 2 et en particulier entre ceux-ci et les lames de pincement 22 qui peuvent ainsi les arracher de la peau.During this rotation, the tufts of
Les essais ont montré que la présence des touffes de poils entre les disques 2 augmentait de façon surprenante l'efficacité de l'appareil.Tests have shown that the presence of tufts of hair between the
Par ailleurs, la présence de ces touffes de poils 20 en un endroit angulairement écarté des lames de pincement 20, n'engendre aucune gêne dans le fonctionnement de l'appareil, ni aucune complexité dans la fabrication de celui-ci. D'ailleurs, la disposition des touffes 20 à 90 ° des lames 22 et de leurs tiges de commande 25 permet un meilleur équilibre des masses, susceptible de limiter les vibrations.Furthermore, the presence of these tufts of
D'autre part, les touffes de poils 20 favorisent l'élimination des poils arrachés de la peau et limitent l'encrassement de l'appareil par les poils arrachés.On the other hand, the tufts of
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation que l'on vient de décrire et on peut apporter à celui-ci de nombreuses modifications sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described and many modifications can be made to it without departing from the scope of the invention.
Ainsi, les touffes de poils 20 au lieu d'être alignées suivant des rangées, pourraient être décalées les unes des autres.Thus, the tufts of
La section des touffes, au lieu d'être circulaire, pourrait être carrée ou rectangulaire.The tufts section, instead of being circular, could be square or rectangular.
Par ailleurs, les poils de brosses, au lieu d'être disposés par touffes pourraient s'étendre de façon homogène selon une ou plusieurs rangées continues. Les embases 21, au lieu d'être emboîtées dans des encoches des disques, pourraient être collées, clipsées, soudées directement au moyeu.Furthermore, the bristles of brushes, instead of being arranged in tufts, could extend in a homogeneous fashion in one or more continuous rows. The
Les touffes ou rangées de poils pourraient également être implantées directement dans le moyeu.The tufts or rows of bristles could also be located directly in the hub.
