Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for depilating human skin comprising a housing in which is mounted in rotation a depilatory head of generally cylindrical shape, comprising pinching blades cooperating in pairs to pinch the hairs and pluck them due to the rotation .
  • Apparatuses of this type known for example according to FR-A-2553939, and EP-A-0328426 and 0403315, comprise a rotary roller made up of complete or indented discs. These discs are often fixed (FR-A-2553939 and EP-A-0403315) and in this case the movable blades bear against the discs to pinch the hairs. These discs can also be mobile and constitute blades coming to bear against other disc-shaped blades (EP-A-0328426).
  • the object of the invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the above hair removal devices.
  • the invention thus relates to an apparatus for depilating human skin comprising a housing in which is mounted in rotation a depilatory head of generally cylindrical shape, comprising pinching blades cooperating in pairs to pinch the hairs and pluck them due to the rotation.
  • this device is characterized in that the blades are adjacent on one side to a smooth cylindrical surface coaxial with the axis of rotation of the head and on the other side to an elongated recessed area extending parallel to the alignment of the blades, this area being it even adjacent to another smooth cylindrical surface diametrically opposite the first, said hollow zone being situated in front of the blades relative to the direction of rotation of the head.
  • the device thus no longer has a disc.
  • the pinch blades are between cylindrical surfaces which contact the skin without causing any pain or irritation.
  • the device has greater mobility of movement in the direction of the axis of rotation of the epilation head, which increases its efficiency.
  • the recessed area located in front of the blades, allows the hairs to straighten during rotation of the head, before being pinched between the blades, which guarantees the effectiveness of the hair removal.
  • the hollow area comprises near the edge of the smooth cylindrical surface a series of small brushes.
  • the hollow area comprises, near one of the sides of the blades, a series of pins whose apex is located on a virtual cylinder coaxial with the axis of the head and in which are inscribed the two smooth cylindrical surfaces.
  • the blades are mounted in recesses formed in a block, separated from each other by walls the outer edge of which is set back from said virtual cylinder, the outer edge of the blades protruding above the outer edge of said blades. walls.
  • This arrangement improves the efficiency of pulling out short hairs, without increasing the pain.
  • each wall separating the recesses comprises substantially in its extension several pins.
  • the pins advantageously have a width measured in the direction of elongation of the hollow area which gradually decreases from the adjacent wall of the block.
  • the surface of said smooth cylindrical surfaces comprises an anti-friction coating.
  • This arrangement improves the sliding of the depilation head on the skin and therefore increases its effectiveness.
  • the apparatus may include means for cooling the smooth cylindrical surfaces of the head to further alleviate the pain.
  • the apparatus for depilating human skin comprises a housing 1 (see FIG. 1) in which a depilation head 2 of generally cylindrical shape is rotatably mounted.
  • This head has pinching blades 3, 4 cooperating in pairs to pinch the hairs and pull them out due to the rotation.
  • the blades 3, 4 are adjacent (see FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) on one side to a smooth cylindrical surface 5 coaxial with the axis of rotation XX 'of the head 2 and on the other side to an elongated recessed area 6 extending parallel to the alignment of the blades 3,4.
  • This zone 6 is itself adjacent to another smooth cylindrical surface 5a diametrically opposite the first.
  • the recessed area 6 is located in front of the blades 3, 4 relative to the direction R of the rotation of the head 2.
  • the recessed area 6 comprises near the edge 5b of the smooth cylindrical surface 5a a series of small brushes 7 carried by a bar 8 (see Figures 1,2 and 3).
  • the recessed area 6 comprises near one of the sides of the blades 3,4 a series of pins 9 whose apex is located on a virtual cylinder 10 (see FIG. 4) coaxial with the axis XX 'of the head 2 and in which are inscribed the two smooth cylindrical surfaces 5, 5a.
  • Figures 1 and 5 show that the head 2 comprises two series of diametrically opposite brushes 7 and two recessed areas 6 carrying pins 9 also diametrically opposite.
  • FIG. 4 also shows that the outer edge of the blades 3, 4 projects above the outer edge of the walls 13.
  • each recess 11 comprises two blades 3, 4 one of which 4 is fixed and bearing against the wall 13 of the recess and the other 3 of which is movable towards the fixed blade 4.
  • the movable blades 3 are pivotally mounted inside the block 12 and their movement towards the other blades 4 is ensured by means well known in particular by the patents cited in the introduction to the present description.
  • the block 12 comprises a second series of recesses 11 diametrically opposite to the first and in which the blades are mounted.
  • each wall 13 separating the recesses 11 comprises substantially in its extension several pins 9.
  • the pins 9 have a width measured in the direction of elongation D of the hollow area 6 which decreases progressively from the wall 13 adjacent to the block 12 towards the small brushes 7.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to define on the side of the pins 9 an inclined surface 5 which guides the bristles between the blades 3, 4.
  • the surface of said smooth cylindrical surfaces 5, 5a may comprise an anti-friction coating, for example of polytetrafluoroethylene or of felt.
  • the apparatus may also include means such as Peltier elements for cooling said cylindrical surfaces 5, 5a in order to reduce the pain due to the pulling of the hairs.
  • the apparatus just described operates as follows.
  • the straightened hairs then arrive in the hollow area 6 which prevents them from going back to bed.
  • the pins 9 prevent the head 2 from jumping due to the hollow 6. In addition, these pins 9 by rubbing against the skin massage it, which reduces pain when the hairs are pinched and torn between the blades 3, 4.
  • the smooth cylindrical surfaces 5, 5a promote good sliding of the head on the skin, without irritating the latter and ensure good mobility of the latter in all directions.
