Description

Zupfköpf für motorisch betriebene Epiliergeräte Plucking head for motorized epilators
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Zupfkopf für motorisch be¬ triebene Epiliergeräte, bestehend aus einem vom Gerätegehäuse mindestens teilweise umschlossenen Hohlzylinder, dessen auf die Haut aufzusetzende Arbeitsfläche durch seine Stirnfläche defi¬ niert ist, mit einer im Hohlzylinder angebrachten Klemmvorrich¬ tung, bestehend aus mindestens zwei diametral gegenüberliegenden, unter Federwirkung stehenden, gegen die Innenfläche des Hohlzy¬ linders andrückbaren Klemmbacken, die in Wirkverbindung mit einem achsgleich mit der Zylinderachse angeordneten Steuerelement stehen und einer Getriebeverbindung zwischen Antriebsmotor und Hohlzylinder und/oder Steuerelement.The invention relates to a plucking head for motorized epilators, consisting of a hollow cylinder at least partially enclosed by the device housing, the work surface to be placed on the skin is defined by its end face, with a clamping device attached in the hollow cylinder, consisting of at least two diametrically opposed, spring-loaded clamping jaws that can be pressed against the inner surface of the hollow cylinder, which are operatively connected to a control element arranged coaxially with the cylinder axis and a gear connection between the drive motor and the hollow cylinder and / or control element.
In der Patentanmeldung DE 3922 949 ist ein Epiliergerät dieser Art beschrieben. Bei der dort in mehreren Varianten beschriebenen Konstruktion des Zupfkopfes sind die Klemmbacken an den freien Enden von Blattfedern angebracht, die mit ihren anderen Enden an der Innenfläche des Hohlzylinders befestigt sind. Das die Öff- nungs- bzw. Schließbewegung der Klemmbacken bewirkende Steuerele¬ ment ist als Nocken ausgebildet, der unterhalb der Klemmbacken direkt auf die Blattfedern einwirkt.An epilator of this type is described in patent application DE 3922 949. In the construction of the plucking head described there in several variants, the clamping jaws are attached to the free ends of leaf springs which are attached with their other ends to the inner surface of the hollow cylinder. The control element causing the opening or closing movement of the clamping jaws is designed as a cam which acts directly on the leaf springs below the clamping jaws.
Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung durch die im Kennzeichen des Hauptanspruchs angegebenen Maßnahmen gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the measures specified in the characterizing part of the main claim.
Diese erfinderischen Maßnahmen gewährleisten einen präzisen Be¬ wegungsablauf der Klemmbacken. Durch die Möglichkeit der Varia¬ tion der Hebelverhältnisse läßt sich die Energiebilanz hinsicht¬ lich der aufzubringenden Kräfte zum öffnen bzw. Schließen der Klemmbacken und der Aufrechterhaltung der Klemmkraft in der Schließstellung sowie der Reibungs- und Massenträgheitskräfte günstig beeinflussen.These inventive measures ensure a precise sequence of movements of the clamping jaws. The possibility of varying the lever ratios enables the energy balance with regard to the forces to be applied to open or close the clamping jaws and to maintain the clamping force in the Favorably influence the closed position and the friction and inertia forces.
Die im Patentanspruch 2 angegebene erfindungsgemäße Ausrichtung der Achsen ist dann besonders vorteilhaft, wenn auf weitgehende Freizügigkeit hinsichtlich der Wahl der Hebellängen in Richtung der geometrischen Zylinderachse Wert gelegt wird.The alignment of the axes according to the invention specified in patent claim 2 is particularly advantageous if value is placed on extensive freedom of movement with regard to the choice of lever lengths in the direction of the geometric cylinder axis.
Durch die im Patentanspruch 3 angegebene erfindungsgemäße Aus¬ richtung der Achsen läßt sich in vorteilhafter Weise bei der Öff¬ nung der Klemmbacken ein nahezu gleichmäßiger Öffnungsspalt er¬ zielen, aber bedarfsweise auch ein keilförmig vergrößerter Öff¬ nungsspalt durch Verschiebung des Drehpunktes der Klemmbacken, wodurch die zu erfassenden Haare leichter eingefädelt werden kön¬ nen. Außerdem läßt sich die Länge des Zupfkopfes in Richtung der Zylinderachse merkbar verringern.Due to the alignment of the axes according to the invention specified in patent claim 3, an almost uniform opening gap can advantageously be achieved when opening the clamping jaws, but if necessary also a wedge-shaped enlarged opening gap by shifting the pivot point of the clamping jaws, as a result of which the hair to be detected can be threaded more easily. In addition, the length of the plucking head can be reduced noticeably in the direction of the cylinder axis.
Mit den in Patentanspruch 4 gekennzeichneten Maßnahmen wird er¬ reicht, daß die Klemmbacken in vorteilhafter Weise stets in Schließstellung gedrückt werden, und erst die Öffnungsbewegung gegen die Federkraft durch das Steuerelement erfolgt. Damit ist nur für diesen Vorgang Energieaufwand erforderlich. Durch geeig¬ nete Formgebung des Steuerelements (Nocken oder Kurvenscheibe) kann insbesondere die Öffnungsbewegung beschleunigt werden.With the measures characterized in claim 4 it is achieved that the clamping jaws are advantageously always pressed in the closed position and only the opening movement takes place against the spring force by the control element. This means that energy is only required for this process. The opening movement can in particular be accelerated by suitable shaping of the control element (cam or cam).
Ein besonders einfach aufgebauter, laufruhiger und energiespa¬ render Antrieb der Klemmbacken läßt sich vorteilhaft mit den im Patentanspruch 5 angegebenen Merkmalen erreichen. Hier ist, umge¬ kehrt zu den vorstehend angegebenen Ausführungsbeispielen, eine Energiezufuhr für die Klemmbackenbetätigung in nennenswerter Größe nur im Bereich geschlossener Klemmbacken erforderlich, wäh¬ rend für die Funktionen: "öffnen - Offenhalten - Schließen" nur Reibungs- und Massenträgheitskräfte zu überwinden sind, die ihrerseits aber durch bekannte technische Maßnahmen gering gehal¬ ten werden können.A particularly simple, smooth-running and energy-saving drive of the clamping jaws can advantageously be achieved with the features specified in claim 5. Conversely to the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, an energy supply for the actuation of the jaws of a significant size is only required in the area of the closed jaws, while for the functions: "open - keep open - close" only Frictional and inertial forces are to be overcome, which in turn can be kept low by known technical measures.
Der Patentanspruch 6 kennzeichnet eine weitere vorteilhafte Aus¬ führungsform eines Zupfkopfes, dessen Bewegungsmechanismus für die Klemmbacken wesentliche Vorteile der vorstehend beschriebenen Varianten enthält, nämlich: Volle Schließkraft über den ganzen Schließwinkelbereich des Steuerelementes bei geringem Energiever¬ brauch. Energie zur Betätigung der Klemmbacken wird nur in der Schließphase d.h. Zupfphase gebraucht. Sie ist proportional der tatsächlichen Klemmkraft, die wiederum von der Kraft der Feder im Klemmbacken-Hebel-Verbund direkt abhängig ist und leicht in engen Grenzen gehalten werden kann. Der durch die begrenzte Beweglich¬ keit beider Bauteile gegeneinander mögliche zusätzliche Federweg ist nur zum Fertigungs- und Toleranzausgleich erforderlich und bezüglich einer Kraftzunahme unerheblich.Claim 6 characterizes a further advantageous embodiment of a plucking head, the movement mechanism of which for the clamping jaws contains essential advantages of the variants described above, namely: full closing force over the entire closing angle range of the control element with low energy consumption. Energy for actuating the jaws is only used in the closing phase, i.e. Plucking phase needed. It is proportional to the actual clamping force, which in turn is directly dependent on the force of the spring in the jaw-lever assembly and can easily be kept within narrow limits. The additional spring travel possible due to the limited mobility of the two components relative to one another is only required for manufacturing and tolerance compensation and is insignificant with regard to an increase in force.
In Anspruch 7 sind zweckmäßige Ausführungsformen des Steuerele¬ mentes gekennzei hnet, die bei Bedarf wahlweise angewendet werden können.In claim 7 expedient embodiments of the Steuerele¬ elementes are marked, which can optionally be used if required.

Das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Epiliergerat besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Gehäuse 1, in dem ein schematisch dargestellter Motor 2 untergebracht ist, der sowohl ein von Primär- oder Sekundärzellen oder direkt vom Netz gespeister Elektromotor als auch ein Feder¬ werksmotor sein kann.The epilator shown in Fig. 1 consists essentially of a housing 1, in which a schematically illustrated motor 2 is housed, which can be both an electric motor fed by primary or secondary cells or directly from the network and a spring motor.
Das Gehäuse 1 umschließt ferner teilweise einen Hohlzylinder 3, der Teil des Zupfkopfes ist und im Inneren des Gehäuses 1 fakul¬ tativ fest angebracht oder drehbar gelagert sein kann, wie in der Patentanmeldung DE 39 22 949 beschrieben.The housing 1 also partially encloses a hollow cylinder 3, which is part of the plucking head and can optionally be fixedly attached or rotatably mounted in the interior of the housing 1, as described in patent application DE 39 22 949.
Im Gehäuse 1 ist koaxial zur geometrischen Achse A des Hohl¬ zylinders 3 eine Welle 4 drehbar gelagert, die über ein schema¬ tisch dargestelltes Getriebe 5 vom Motor 2 angetrieben wird; über dieses Getriebe 5 kann auch der Hohlzylinder 3 wahlweise ange¬ trieben werden. Bei Anordnung einer feststehenden Achse anstelle der Welle 4 entfällt die Verbindung mit dem Getriebe 5.A shaft 4 is rotatably mounted in the housing 1 coaxially to the geometric axis A of the hollow cylinder 3 and is driven by the motor 2 via a schematically illustrated gear 5; The hollow cylinder 3 can also be driven optionally via this gear 5. If a fixed axis is arranged instead of the shaft 4, there is no connection with the gear 5.
Im Inneren des Hohlzylinders 3 sind ferner auf festen Achsen 6 diametral gegenüberliegende Klemmbacken 7 schwenkbar gelagert, die unter der Wirkung einer Feder 8 an der Innenfläche 9 des Hohlzylinders 3 anliegen und andererseits über Hebelarme 10 mit einem auf der Welle (oder Achse) 4 angebrachten Steuerelement 11, das als Nocken 12 ausgebildet sein kann, zusammenwirkt.Inside the hollow cylinder 3, diametrically opposed clamping jaws 7 are also pivotally mounted on fixed axes 6, which under the action of a spring 8 on the inner surface 9 of the Apply hollow cylinder 3 and on the other hand via lever arms 10 cooperates with a control element 11 mounted on the shaft (or axis) 4, which can be designed as a cam 12.
Zur Vereinfachung ist in Fig. 1 nur eine Hälfte des sich dia¬ metral in spiegelbildlicher Anordnung gegenüberliegenden Klemm¬ backen-Feder-Systems dargestel1t.For simplification, only one half of the clamping jaw-spring system diametrically opposed in a mirror-image arrangement is shown in FIG. 1.
Der äußere Rand 13 des Hohlzylinders 3, mit dem das Epiliergerat auf die Haut aufgesetzt wird, bildet die Stirnseite des Zupf¬ kopfes und definiert somit seine Arbeitsfläche B.The outer edge 13 of the hollow cylinder 3, with which the epilator is placed on the skin, forms the end face of the plucking head and thus defines its working surface B.
Die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten der Fixierung oder des Antriebes des Hohlzylinders 3 und der Welle 4 des Steuerelementes 11 sind aus der eingangs genannten Patentanmeldung DE 3922 949 beschrie¬ ben und werden daher im folgenden nicht mehr näher erläutert.The various possibilities for fixing or driving the hollow cylinder 3 and the shaft 4 of the control element 11 are described in the aforementioned patent application DE 3922 949 and are therefore not explained in more detail below.
Bei dem in Fig. 2 dargestellten Zupfkopf ist der Hohlzylinder 3 an seinem Boden mit einem Querschott 14 versehen, durch das die Welle (oder Achse) 4 des Steuerelementes 11, das hier als Nocken 12 ausgebildet ist, durchgeführt ist. Oberhalb des Nockens 12 - in Richtung der Stirnseite des Hohlzylinders 3 gesehen - sind im Hohlzylinder im rechten Winkel zur Zylinderachse A zwei Achsen 6 spiegelbildlich zur Zylinderachse A angebracht, auf denen zwei diametral gegenüberliegende Klemmbacken 7 schwenkbar gelagert sind. In Richtung des Gehäuseinneren sind die Klemmbacken 7 mit Hebelarmen 10 versehen, die mit ihren freien Enden 15 mit dem Nocken 12 zusammenwirken. Zwischen beiden Klemmbacken 7 ist eine Druckfeder 8 in Form einer Druckschenkel-Biegefeder gespannt, die die Klemmbacken 7 im oberen Bereich des Hohlzylinders 3 gegen dessen Innenfläche 9 in die Schließstellung drückt. Während eines Arbeitsumlaufes werden die Klemmbacken 7 durch den umlaufenden oder feststehenden Nocken 12 über die Hebelarme 10 in die Offenstellung gedrängt und bei Freigabe durch den Nocken 12 durch die Feder 8 wieder in die Schließstellung zurückgeschwenkt. Durch ein geeignetes HebelVerhältnis der Klemmbacken 7, gebildet durch den Abstand von der Schwenkachse 6 zum Kraftangriffspunkt am Nocken 12 auf der einen Seite und zur Klemmfläche im oberen Bereich 16 des Hohlzylinders 3 auf der anderen Seite, läßt sich ein günstiger mechanischer Gesamtaufbau verwirklichen. Dadurch, daß die Klemmbacken 7 durch den Nocken 12 geöffnet werden, das Schließen aber durch Federkraft erfolgt, kann die Schließbewegung durch ein geeignetes Profil des Nocken 12 extrem schnell ablau¬ fen. Das ermöglicht entsprechend längere Zeiten für das Einfädeln und Zupfen der Haare während eines Arbeitsumlaufes, und die federbetätigten Klemmbacken 7 erfahren eine hohe Anfangsschlie߬ kraft, wodurch erfaßte Haare sicher festgehalten werden.In the plucking head shown in FIG. 2, the hollow cylinder 3 is provided on its bottom with a transverse bulkhead 14 through which the shaft (or axis) 4 of the control element 11, which is designed here as a cam 12, is passed. Above the cam 12 - viewed in the direction of the end face of the hollow cylinder 3 - two axes 6 are mounted in the hollow cylinder at right angles to the cylinder axis A in mirror image to the cylinder axis A, on which two diametrically opposed clamping jaws 7 are pivotally mounted. In the direction of the interior of the housing, the jaws 7 are provided with lever arms 10 which cooperate with their free ends 15 with the cam 12. Between the two jaws 7, a compression spring 8 is tensioned in the form of a compression leg spiral spring, which presses the jaws 7 in the upper region of the hollow cylinder 3 against its inner surface 9 into the closed position. During a work cycle, the clamping jaws 7 are pushed into the open position by the rotating or fixed cam 12 via the lever arms 10 and, when released by the cam 12, are pivoted back into the closed position by the spring 8. By means of a suitable lever ratio of the clamping jaws 7, formed by the distance from the pivot axis 6 to the force application point on the cam 12 on one side and to the clamping surface in the upper region 16 of the hollow cylinder 3 on the other side, a favorable overall mechanical construction can be realized. Because the clamping jaws 7 are opened by the cam 12, but the closing takes place by spring force, the closing movement can take place extremely quickly by means of a suitable profile of the cam 12. This enables correspondingly longer times for threading and plucking the hair during a work cycle, and the spring-actuated clamping jaws 7 experience a high initial closing force, as a result of which captured hair is held securely.
Bei den nachstehend beschriebenen Varianten des Zupfkopfes haben der Hohlzylinder 3 und die Welle oder Achse 4 die gleiche Gestalt und sind in gleicher Weise beziffert. Die in Fig. 3 dargestellte Variante des Zupfkopfes hat einen Hohlzylinder mit zwei Achsen 6, die in gleicher Weise wie in Fig. 2 angeordnet sind und auf denen Klemmbacken 20 schwenkbar gelagert sind, die im oberen Bereich 16 des Hohlzylinders 3 dessen Innenfläche 9 berühren. Die durch das Querschott 14 des Hohlzylinders 3 geführte Welle (oder Achse) 4 trägt an ihrem freien Ende das Steuerelement 11, das hier als Kurvenscheibe 21 ausgebildet ist. In die Klemmbacken 20 sind Blattfedern 22 fest eingebettet, deren freie Enden mit kugel¬ förmigen Gleitkörpern 23 in die Steuernut 24 der Kurvenscheibe 21 eingreifen.In the variants of the plucking head described below, the hollow cylinder 3 and the shaft or axis 4 have the same shape and are numbered in the same way. The variant of the plucking head shown in FIG. 3 has a hollow cylinder with two axes 6, which are arranged in the same way as in FIG. 2 and on which clamping jaws 20 are pivotably mounted, which in the upper region 16 of the hollow cylinder 3 touch the inner surface 9 thereof. The shaft (or axis) 4 guided through the transverse bulkhead 14 of the hollow cylinder 3 carries at its free end the control element 11, which is designed here as a cam disk 21. Leaf springs 22 are firmly embedded in the clamping jaws 20, the free ends of which engage with spherical sliding bodies 23 in the control groove 24 of the cam disk 21.
Die Blattfeder 22 vereinigt somit die beiden Funktionen: Feder¬ wirkung und Bewegungsübertragung von dem Steuerelement 11 auf die Klemmbacken 20 in einem einzigen Bauteil, die im Ausführungsbei¬ spiel (Fig. 2) auf zwei Bauteile verteilt waren. In einem Ar¬ beitsumlauf werden die Klemmbacken 20 während der Rotation des Gesamtsystems durch die ruhende oder mit geeigneter Drehzahl um¬ laufende Kurvenscheibe 21 über die Biegefeder 22 geschwenkt. Im Anschluß an die Schließung des Zupfspaltes zwischen den Klemm¬ backen 20 und dem zugeordneten Bereich 16 der Innenfläche 9 des Hohlzylinders 3 wird durch Überdrücken der Blattfedern 22 die Klemmkraft zum Festhalten der Haare aufgebaut und über den erfor¬ derlichen Drehwinkel aufrechterhalten.The leaf spring 22 thus combines the two functions: spring action and movement transmission from the control element 11 to the Clamping jaws 20 in a single component, which in the exemplary embodiment (FIG. 2) were distributed over two components. In a work cycle, the clamping jaws 20 are pivoted over the spiral spring 22 during the rotation of the overall system by the cam disc 21 which is at rest or rotating at a suitable speed. Following the closing of the plucking gap between the clamping jaws 20 and the associated area 16 of the inner surface 9 of the hollow cylinder 3, the clamping force for holding the hair is built up by overpressing the leaf springs 22 and maintained over the required angle of rotation.
Bei dem Zupfkopf gemäß Fig. 4 und 5 sind innerhalb des Hohl¬ zylinders 3 zwei parallel zur geometrischen Zylinderachse A ge¬ richtete Achsen 25 angebracht, auf denen die Klemmbacken 26 schwenkbar gelagert sind, so daß die Schwenkbewegung parallel zur Arbeitsfläche B des Zupfkopfes erfolgt. In Fig. 4 ist nur eine Achse 25 zu sehen. Zwischen beiden Klemmbacken 26 ist eine Schraubenfeder 27 gespannt, die beide Klemmbacken in die Schlie߬ stellung mit der Innenfläche 9 des Hohlzylinders 3 drängen. Die Klemmbacken 26 sind mit Hebelarmen 28 versehen, die mit dem auf der Welle (oder Achse) 4 angebrachten Steuerelement 11 zusammen¬ wirken, das hier topfförmig ausgebildet ist, mit einer als Steuerkurve dienenden Innenfläche 29, gegen die die Hebelarme 28 mindestens während der Schwenkbewegung der Klemmbacken 26 an¬ liegen.In the plucking head according to FIGS. 4 and 5, two axes 25, which are oriented parallel to the geometric cylinder axis A, are mounted within the hollow cylinder 3, on which the clamping jaws 26 are pivotably mounted, so that the pivoting movement takes place parallel to the working surface B of the plucking head. Only one axis 25 can be seen in FIG. 4. A helical spring 27 is tensioned between the two jaws 26 and urge both jaws into the closed position with the inner surface 9 of the hollow cylinder 3. The clamping jaws 26 are provided with lever arms 28 which cooperate with the control element 11 attached to the shaft (or axis) 4, which is cup-shaped here, with an inner surface 29 serving as a control curve, against which the lever arms 28 act at least during the pivoting movement the clamping jaws 26 lie against.
Bei dieser Anordnung der Klemmbacken 26 ergibt sich in der vorge¬ sehenen Größenordnung der Backenöffnung ein nahezu gleichmäßiger Öffnungsspalt zwischen den Klemmbacken 26 und der Innenfläche 9 des Hohlzylinders 3. Bedarfsweise läßt sich aber durch Verlage¬ rung der Schwenkachsen 25 von der in Fig. 5 dargestellten Posi¬ tion unter Beibehaltung der konstruktiven Abmessungen der Klemm¬ backen 26 ein keilförmig erweiterter Öffnungsspalt erreichen, da¬ mit die auszuzupfenden Haare leichter eingefädelt werden können. Das in Fig. 6 dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel des Zupfkopfes hat ebenfalls ein Querschott 14, durch das die Welle (oder Achse) 4 hindurchgeführt ist, und zwei Achsen 6, die im oberen Teil des Hohlzylinders 3 rechtwinklig zur geometrischen Achse A des Hohl¬ zylinders 3 angebracht sind. Auf diesen Achsen sind sowohl Klemm¬ backen 30 gelagert als auch von diesen zunächst unabhängige, ge¬ sondert ausgebildete Hebelarme 31, die somit gegeneinander dreh¬ beweglich sind. Die Hebelarme 31 haben an ihrem freien Ende je einen angeformten, kugelförmigen Gleitstein 32, der in die Steuernut 33 einer auf der Welle (oder Achse) 4 befestigten Kurvenscheibe 34 eingreift, die hier das Steuerelement 11 darstellt.With this arrangement of the clamping jaws 26, there is an almost uniform opening gap between the clamping jaws 26 and the inner surface 9 of the hollow cylinder 3 in the order of magnitude of the jaw opening. If necessary, however, the pivot axes 25 can be moved from that shown in FIG. 5 Position while maintaining the structural dimensions of the clamping jaws 26 reach a wedge-shaped opening gap so that the hair to be plucked out can be threaded in more easily. The embodiment of the plucking head shown in FIG. 6 also has a transverse bulkhead 14 through which the shaft (or axis) 4 is guided, and two axes 6, which are attached in the upper part of the hollow cylinder 3 at right angles to the geometric axis A of the hollow cylinder 3 are. Clamping jaws 30 are mounted on these axles as well as lever arms 31 which are initially independent of them and are specially designed and are thus rotatable relative to one another. The lever arms 31 each have a molded, spherical sliding block 32 at their free end, which engages in the control groove 33 of a cam disk 34 fastened on the shaft (or axis) 4, which here represents the control element 11.
Die Klemmbacken 30 übergreifen* mit je einem haubenartigen Ansatz 35 die Hebelarme 31 teilweise. Zwischen beiden Bauteilen ist eine Feder 36 in Form einer die zugeordnete Achse 6 umgreifende Biege¬ schenkel-Druckfeder gespannt, die die Klemmbacken 30 und die zu¬ gehörigen Hebelarme 31 auseinanderschwenken, bis die Hebelarme 31 zur Anlage an die die Anschläge 37 bildenden Aussparungen im haubenförmigen Ansatz 35 gelangen.The jaws 30 partially overlap * the lever arms 31 with a hood-like extension 35. Between the two components, a spring 36 is tensioned in the form of a bending leg compression spring encompassing the associated axis 6, which swings the clamping jaws 30 and the associated lever arms 31 apart until the lever arms 31 rest against the recesses in the hood-shaped form which form the stops 37 Approach 35.
In dieser Anschlagposition, die in Fig. 6 abgebildet und in der der Zupfspalt zwischen Klemmbacken 30 und der Innenfläche 9 des Hohlzylinders 3 geschlossen ist, stellt das System: Klemmbacken 30, Feder 36 und Hebelarm 31 eine geschlossene Funktionseinheit dar, die durch die Steuernut 33 der Kurvenscheibe 34 wie folgt betätigt wird:In this stop position, which is shown in FIG. 6 and in which the plucking gap between the clamping jaws 30 and the inner surface 9 of the hollow cylinder 3 is closed, the system: clamping jaws 30, spring 36 and lever arm 31 represents a closed functional unit which is controlled by the control groove 33 the cam disc 34 is operated as follows:
Synchron mit der Relativbewegung der Kurvenscheibe 34 und des He¬ belarmes 31 öffnet sich der Zupfspalt aus der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Schließstellung bis zur Maximalöffnung, die über einen durch das Profil der Steuernut 33 bestimmten Drehwinkel konstant gehalten wird, anschließend erfolgt die Schließbewegung über den Hebelarm 31 bis die Klemmbacken 30 wieder die gezeichnete Schließposition erreicht haben. Während der weiter¬ laufenden Schließbewegung verläßt nun der Hebelarm 31 den An¬ schlag 37 in Richtung der geometrischen Achse A des Hohlzylinders 3, wobei die Klemmbacken 30 über den gesamten Schließwinkelbe- reich die volle Schließkraft am Zupfspalt aufrechterhalten. Im weiteren Arbeitsablauf wird der Hebelarm 31 durch das Steuerele¬ ment 11 wieder bis zürn Anschlag 37 zurückgeführt, womit ein neuer Arbeitszyklus beginnt. The plucking gap opens synchronously with the relative movement of the cam plate 34 and the lever arm 31 from the closed position shown in the drawing to the maximum opening, which is kept constant via an angle of rotation determined by the profile of the control groove 33, and then the closing movement takes place via the lever arm 31 until the jaws 30 again have reached the drawn closed position. While the closing movement continues, the lever arm 31 now leaves the stop 37 in the direction of the geometric axis A of the hollow cylinder 3, the clamping jaws 30 maintaining the full closing force at the plucking gap over the entire closing angle range. In the further workflow, the lever arm 31 is returned by the control element 11 to the stop 37, which starts a new work cycle.
