Definitions

  • the invention relates to an epilation device for removing body hair with a rotating cylinder rotatably mounted in a housing and driven by a motor, which has at least two clamping elements for clamping and plucking the body hair, and with at least one straightening element held on the rotating cylinder for straightening the body hair.
  • Such an epilation device is known from FR 26 64 798 A1.
  • a number of brushes are provided there as erection elements.
  • the brushes are fixed in a longitudinal groove of the rotary cylinder with the aid of a fastening device. If the rotary cylinder is rotated by a motor, the result is that the brushes perform the same rotary motion together with the rotary cylinder.
  • the brushes can perform a combing function, they protrude approximately radially from the rotary cylinder and end approximately in the region of the circumference of the rotary cylinder.
  • the body hairs are not oriented in only one direction, as shown in FIG. 4. If, contrary to the illustration in FIG. 4 of FR 26 64 798 A1, the body hair is not inclined to the left but to the right, then the brushes fail to achieve the intended straightening effect. In this case, the brushes move precisely in the direction of the envy of the body hair due to the rotary movement of the rotary cylinder. The body hairs are combed even further by the brushes in the existing direction of inclination, i.e. to the right, and then lie even flatter on the skin, so that grasping and plucking the body hair would be made much more difficult or even impossible by the clamping elements.
  • the brushes of the epilation device according to FR 26 64 798 A1 are therefore only suitable for straightening those body hairs that are inclined against the direction of rotation of the rotary cylinder. Body hairs that protrude from the user's skin in a different direction, on the other hand, cannot be straightened by the brushes and therefore cannot be grasped by the epilation device.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an epilation device for removing body hair, with which body hair inclined in different directions can be detected and plucked.
  • This object is essentially achieved in that the erecting element is rotatably mounted on the rotating cylinder with respect to the latter.
  • the erecting element ensures that the erecting element is capable of rotating independently.
  • the erecting element can therefore perform its own rotating movement in the rotating cylinder.
  • the erecting element rotates in the same direction, all those body hairs whose inclination is opposite to the direction of rotation of the rotating cylinder are erected. If the erecting element rotates in the opposite direction, on the other hand, all those body hairs whose inclination is aligned with the direction of rotation of the rotating cylinder are erected.
  • the axes of the erecting elements and the axis of the rotary cylinder are expediently arranged approximately parallel and at approximately the same distance from one another.
  • the envelope of the erecting element is arranged approximately in the region of the jacket of the rotary cylinder.
  • the directions of rotation of the erecting element and the rotating cylinder are advantageously opposite to each other.
  • the speed of the envelope of the counter-rotating erecting element is greater than the speed on the jacket of the rotating cylinder.
  • the specified choice of the speeds in any case leaves a rotational movement of the envelope of the erecting element which is opposite to the rotational movement of the casing of the rotating cylinder. This remaining rotational movement ensures a safe straightening of body hair that is inclined in the same direction as the direction of rotation of the rotating cylinder.
  • a first erecting element is provided, the rotational movement of which is opposite to the rotational direction of the rotating cylinder, and a second erecting element, the rotational movement of which corresponds to the rotational direction of the rotating cylinder or is arranged in a fixed manner on the rotating cylinder is not.
  • the two erecting elements can be driven completely independently of the drive of the rotary cylinder, for example by means of special drives or gears.
  • the erecting elements themselves are driven by the rotation of the rotary cylinder. It is not necessary. to drive the straightening elements continuously during a full rotation of the rotary cylinder, but sufficiently and advantageously to drive them temporarily when they come into contact with the hair to be straightened.
  • the erecting elements are provided with drive rollers which can also be rotated with the rotating cylinder, so that the erecting elements can be driven by the rotation of the rotating cylinder.
  • the drive of the erecting elements thus requires only a few additional components and therefore only a little additional space in the housing of the epilation device.
  • a preferred embodiment consists in that the drive roller or an intermediate roller moves with its circumference on a track accommodated in the housing of the epilation device.
  • the track is formed by an inside of the housing and is arranged concentrically to the axis of the rotary cylinder. Furthermore, the circumference of the drive roller comes into contact with the track on the side facing away from the axis of the rotary cylinder.
  • the arrangement of the track and the drive roller on the side of the circumference of the drive roller facing away from the axis of the rotary cylinder results in a rotary movement of the drive roller opposite to the direction of rotation of the rotary cylinder.
  • an additional intermediate roller can be used to reverse the direction of rotation of the drive roller.
  • the circumference of the intermediate roller lies on the one hand on the circumference of the drive roller and on the other hand on the mentioned track inside the housing of the epilation device.
  • the speeds of rotation of the drive roller and the intermediate roller can be adjusted or adjusted by an appropriate choice of the radii.
  • Another embodiment of the arrangement is that at least one drive roller rolls with its circumference on a track which is formed by a fixed disc or a segment.
  • the circumference of the drive roller touches the track on its side facing the axis of the rotating cylinder.
  • This arrangement of the track and the drive roller on the side of the circumference of the drive roller facing the axis of the rotary cylinder results in a rotational movement of the drive roller which is the same as the direction of rotation of the rotary cylinder.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that a rectification of the direction of rotation of the drive roller and the rotary cylinder is achieved by means of a single additional component, namely the fixed disk or the fixed disk segment.
  • the other erecting element can be driven in the opposite direction to the first erecting element, in that the associated roller interacts with a track on the housing.
  • the track which is arranged concentrically to the axis of the rotary cylinder, is not formed over the entire possible area, that is to say over a full circle, but if it only extends over a partial area of the full circle.
  • the drive rollers are driven only in that subarea in which a rotational movement of the erecting elements is required. In the remaining area of the full circle, the drive rollers stand still. This results in energy savings and less wear on the drive rollers.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic representation, with the help of which the mode of operation of the epilation device is to be explained in particular.
  • FIG. 2 shows a sectional illustration of the epilation device of FIG. 1 in a form corresponding to a design.
  • an epilation device 1 is shown, by means of which body hair 850 on the human body can be removed.
  • the epilation device 1 has a rotary cylinder 4, which is mounted with its axis 19 in a manner not shown in the housing 2 of the epilation device 1.
  • the rotary cylinder 4 Via a non-rotatably connected drive gear 8 (see FIG. 2), the rotary cylinder 4 is coupled to a motor, not shown, by means of which the rotary cylinder can be set in rotation about the axis 19.
  • the direction of rotation of the rotary cylinder 4 is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 marked with the reference number 830.
  • the epilation device 1 has a bearing part 24 arranged parallel to the axis 19, on which a number of clamping elements 42, 43 assigned in pairs are lined up.
  • the clamping elements 42, 43 are elongated lamellae which form the circumference of the same on two opposite sides of the rotary cylinder 4. With the help of actuating elements 26, 27, 28, 29, the clamping elements 42, 43 are pivoted or deformed slightly when the rotary cylinder 4 rotates, in such a way that two adjacent clamping elements 42, 43 always move toward one another in the manner of tweezers.
  • the actuating elements 26, 27, 28, 29 cause the tweezers-like compression of two clamping elements 42, 43 to be carried out, for example, when the clamping elements 42, 43 are located above the human skin and thus above the body hair 850. In this way and in addition with the aid of threading elements 49, 50 it is then possible for body hair 850 to be clamped between the clamping elements 42, 43 which act like tweezers.
  • the human skin with the body hair 850 in FIG. 1 is arranged below the rotary cylinder 4, while in FIG. 2 it would be located above the opening of the epilation device 1 and thus above it.
  • the pinched body hair 850 is plucked from the skin of the human body.
  • the clamping elements 42, 43 now open again in order to be able to pinch and pluck body hair 850 again the next time the rotary cylinder 4 rotates.
  • the epilation device 1 can be moved by the user, for example, in the direction identified by reference number 840 (see FIG. 1).
  • clamping elements 42, 43 in the described embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 form the circumference of the rotary cylinder 4 on two opposite sides, in this embodiment two plucking operations of body hair 850 are carried out with each revolution of the rotary cylinder. It is understood that with a corresponding design of the clamping elements 42, 43, only one or more than two plucking operations per revolution can be possible.
  • an erecting element 800 is provided, which is essentially roller-shaped and from which, as will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 6a to 6f, bristles or ribs or the like protrude.
  • This erecting element 800 has an axis 805 and, as shown in FIG. 2, is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a drive roller 820 at one end of the axis 805.
  • the axis 805 is rotatably mounted on the one hand in a bearing 810 of the drive gear 8, and on the other hand in a bearing 813 of a flange 812 of the rotary cylinder 4.
  • the erecting element 800 is arranged offset by approximately 90 degrees to the clamping elements 42, 43.
  • a second erection element 801 is further provided, which is arranged opposite the first erection element 800 mentioned.
  • the clamping elements 42, 43 and the two erecting elements 800, 801 thus alternate on the circumference of the rotary cylinder 4 at an angular distance of approximately 90 degrees.
  • the axis 805 and the erecting element 800 are arranged parallel to the axis 19 of the rotary cylinder 4.
  • the distance between the axis 805 and the axis 19 is selected such that that peripheral surface of the envelope of the erecting element 800, which is located on the side facing away from the axis 19 of the rotary cylinder 4, is arranged approximately in the region of the imaginary outer surface of the rotary cylinder 4, which is through the free ends of the clamping elements 42, 43 is formed.
  • a track 835 is provided, which is assigned to the drive roller 820.
  • the track 835 is arranged concentrically to the axis 19 of the rotary cylinder 4 and extends over a range of approximately 90 degrees of the possible full circle. In this area, the circumference of the drive roller 820 lies against the track 835. If the drive roller 820 rotates together with the rotary cylinder 4 about the axis 19, this has the consequence that the drive roller 820 is also set in a rotary movement about the axis 805 via the track 835.
  • this drive takes place only over the above-mentioned range of approximately 90 degrees of the full circle, this region being located precisely in the region of the opening of the housing 2 by a corresponding arrangement of the track 835, that is, where the body hair 850 is plucked out.
  • the drive roller 820 is also set into a rotary movement by the rotary movement of the rotary cylinder 4. Due to the indirect drive via the track 835, however, the direction of rotation of the drive roller 820 is opposite to the direction of rotation 830 of the rotary cylinder 4. This opposite direction of rotation of the drive roller 820 and thus also of the erecting element 800 is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 identified by reference number 825.
  • the radius of the drive roller 820 and the radius of the associated track 835 is selected so that the speed at the circumference of the associated erecting element 800 is greater than the speed at the circumference of the rotary cylinder 4. This has the consequence that the greater circumferential speed of the erecting element 800 of the Circumferential speed of the rotary cylinder 4 is not canceled, but that in any case a rotational movement of the erecting element 800 relative to the skin or the hair remains, which is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicated direction 825.
  • the rotary cylinder 4 would become the body hair 850 due to its direction of rotation 830 press even more against the skin of the user. Due to the opposite direction of rotation 825 and the remaining relative rotational movement of the erecting element 800, however, the body hair 850 inclined to the right is erected in any case.
  • the erect body hair 850 shown in the left part of FIG. 1 can then be pinched and plucked by the clamping elements 42, 43 that follow by rotating the rotary cylinder 4.
  • the erecting element 801 is provided, which is configured like a roller in accordance with the erecting element 800 and has an axis 806 and a drive roller 821.
  • the axis 806, like the axis 805, is arranged parallel to the axis 19 of the rotary cylinder 4 and is preferably at the same distance from it.
  • the axis 806 is mounted in the drive gear 8 and in a bearing 816 of a flange 813 of the rotary cylinder 4.
  • the drive roller 821 of the erecting element 801 is dimensioned such that it cannot touch the track 835 in the interior of the housing 2 of the epilation device 1.
  • the drive roller 821 is assigned an intermediate roller 822 which is rotatably mounted on the rotary cylinder 4 parallel to the drive roller 821.
  • the circumference of the intermediate roller 822 lies against the circumference of the drive roller 821.
  • the intermediate roller 822 is mounted in such a way that it can rest against the track 835 of the housing 2.
  • the intermediate roller 822 is also driven in the opposite direction of rotation to the rotary cylinder 4. This is shown in FIG. 1 by the direction of rotation of the intermediate roller 822, identified by reference numeral 827.
  • the coupling of the intermediate roller 822 with the drive roller 821 results in a further reversal of the direction of rotation of the drive roller 821, as is also shown in FIG. 1 by the direction of rotation of the drive roller 821 identified by the reference numeral 826.
  • the drive roller 821 and thus also the erecting element 801 have the same direction of rotation as the rotary cylinder 4.
  • FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of an epilation device according to the invention. This embodiment corresponds to the basic structure of the first embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, the same reference numerals being used for the same components.
