Definitions
- the invention ⁇ relates to a foil holder for a dry shaver in the shaving head frame by means of bolts or the like arched clamped shear foil against which presses term eater ange ⁇ resiliently reciprocating working movement of a Un ⁇ and a bar attached to its longitudinal sides, with the Bolts cooperating support elements.
- the object of the invention is to create a shaving foil holder which, while maintaining the above-mentioned advantages of known holders, makes insertion and removal much easier the shaving foil, combined with a small space requirement inside the shaving head frame.
- the invention solves this problem with the means specified in the characterizing part of the main claim.
- the shaving foil holder according to the invention has the advantage that the insertion and removal of the shaving foil from the shaving head frame takes place with a simple sliding movement along the inner wall of the frame or also at right angles thereto, the latching and fixing elements taking effect automatically. Mechanical stress on the shaving foil practically does not occur and the interior of the shaving head frame enclosed by the shaving foil remains free of the holding elements. This in turn allows the entire shaving head to be kept narrow if necessary and is very easy to clean.
- the movable locking elements provided within the cutouts can be designed and arranged differently; the invention prefers, as particularly advantageous, a hook rising from the base of the cutout against its opening, which is movable in the plane of the bar, transversely to the sliding movement when the shaving foil is inserted.
- the strip can thus be kept relatively narrow, with the same length, which is determined by the dimensions of the shaving foil.
- the angled ends of the two hooks of a strip preferably face each other; this results in a counter-evasive movement of the hooks when the shaving foil snaps in and out and a one-sided lateral displacement or hooking is avoided.
- the bolts have a rectangular cross-section and are provided on each of the two longitudinal walls of the shaving head frame on the mutually facing vertical sides with a dovetail-shaped guide that the guides orderly long sides of the relevant section of the bar are chamfered, such that the guides are in engagement with the chamfered sides when the shaving foil is inserted. This measure ensures that the shaving foil cannot lift off the frame wall and the engagement position is reached automatically without further manipulation.
- each cutout is expediently dimensioned such that there is a defined distance between the angled end of each hook and the associated bolt when the shaving foil is inserted in the rest position.
- a one-sided immersion of the shaving foil is also possible, according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, in that the slot receiving the rib is widened at its base, so that the rib can actually assume an oblique position relative to the slot.
- a particularly smooth-surface interior of the shaving head frame enclosed by the shaving foil is achieved by a further advantageous embodiment of the invention in that the thickness of the longitudinal walls of the shaving head frame in the area of the shaving foil clamping points is reduced by the amount of the thickness of the strip, which ⁇ art that the remaining portion of the longitudinal wall is flush with the bar of the shaving foil used.
- the cleaning of the shaving head frame is thus made considerably easier by the elimination of corner corners for the hair dust.
- each strip is provided with gripping ribs on its inside facing the shaving foil and the shaving foil is cut out accordingly at this point.
- FIG. 1 shows a dry shaving apparatus in a partial representation of a lower knife
- FIG. 2 shows the view of one half of the shaving head frame along the section line II-II in FIG. 3,
- FIG. 3 shows the view of the shaving head frame along the section line III-III in FIG. 2,
- FIG. 4 shows a section through a longitudinal wall with molded bolts from FIG. 3 on an enlarged scale
- FIG. 8 shows the view of a part of the shaving head frame with the shaving foil inserted along the section lines VIII-VIII in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7.
- the dry shaving apparatus shown in detail in FIG. 1 has a housing 1 on which a removable shaving head frame 2 is placed; Keys 3 are used to lock and unlock them.
- a shaving foil 4 is clamped arched in the shaving head frame 2, conditions a lower knife 5 is pressed by a spring 6.
- the lower knife 5 is set in a reciprocating working movement by a motor, not shown, accommodated in the housing 1 via a rocking lever 7.
- buttons 3 are made for the passage of the buttons 3.
- bolts 12 with a rectangular cross-section are provided, each with a dovetail-shaped guide on their mutually facing longitudinal sides
- a strip 16 of limited elastic material is fastened parallel to the clamping edge of the shaving foil 4, namely by means of three heads 17 molded onto the strip 16, which are formed by a central round hole 18 and two elongated holes 19 protrude in the shaving foil 4 and are welded to it.
- the two strips 16 of the shaving foil 4 are provided with holding elements at the points corresponding to the bolts 12 of the shaving head frame 2, each of the strips 16 consisting of two to form the perforated field
- the 20 of the shear foil 4 are open cutouts 21, in each of which a hook 23 rising from the base 22 of the cutout 21 in the direction of its opening is formed, which can be pivoted in the plane of the strip 16 due to its inherent elasticity.
- the angled ends 24 of the hooks 23 are chamfered and directed towards each bar 16 so that they can perform an opposite movement.
- the longitudinal sides 26 of the cutout 21 facing the angled ends 24 of the hooks 23 are chamfered at their edge (FIG. 7) and are dimensioned to match the guide 13 of the associated bolt 12, which is then inserted in the room when the shaving foil 4 is inserted comes to rest between the hook 23 and the above-mentioned longitudinal side 26 of the cutout 21, as shown in FIG. 7.
- Grip ribs 27 are also formed on the inside of the strip 16 shown in FIG. 7.
- the shaving foil 4 is cut out at this point so that the grip ribs 27 can be reached from the inside of the shaving head frame 2 when the shaving foil 4 is mounted.
- the thickness of the two longitudinal walls 11 of the shaving head frame 2 is divided into two sections 28 and 29, the thinner section 28 being intended to receive the associated strip 16 (FIG. 8).
- the dimensions are chosen so that the sum of the thickness dimensions of the thinner section 28 and the associated strip 16 corresponds to the thickness of the other section 29. In this way, the interior of the shaving head frame 2 remains largely free of fissures, it can be kept relatively narrow and is easy to clean.
- each bolt 12 comes in front of the opening of the assigned cutout 21 of the strip 16 and pivots the hook 23 Via its beveled end 24 to the side in the open position and continues to slide until the bottom 22 of the cutout 21 reaches and the hook 23 has returned to its initial closed position.
- the slanted longitudinal sides 26 of the two cutouts 21 of each strip 16 slide into the dovetail-shaped guides 13 of the two bolts 12 during this sliding movement.
- the shaving foil 4 is thus secured both against falling out of the holder in the sliding direction and against lifting off from the longitudinal wall 11 of the shaving head frame 2.
- the rib 14 also slides into the slot 25 of the bar 16 concerned and thus secures the shaving foil 4 against being carried along by the pressed-on lower knife 5 in the direction of its working movements.
- Each bolt 12 is measured in its holder described above, a certain height play, which is determined by a defined distance a at the end 24 of the hook 23, so that the shaving foil 4 under the pressure acting on it during shaving together with the lower knife 5 against that Can dive inside the shaving head frame 2;
- the special design of the slot 25 with the extension at its base additionally ensures that the shaving foil 4 is immersed or tilted on one side.
