Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Handgerät zum Kämmen von Haaren mit einer Anzahl von Kammzinken, die an einem Kammrücken drehbar gelagert und mittels eines Antriebes relativ zueinander bewegbar sind.The invention relates to a hand-held device for combing hair a number of comb teeth that can be rotated on a comb back stored and movable relative to each other by means of a drive are.

Aus der DE-PS 38 44 042 ist bereits ein Handgerät der eingangs erwähnten Art bekannt, das zwei an einem Griffteil miteinander verbundene Kämme hat, von denen ein erster Kamm am Griffteil unbeweglich gehalten ist, während der zweite Kamm relativ dazu in linear-oszillierenden Bewegungen hin- und herbewegbar ist. Dabei sind die Kammzinken des unbeweglichen Kammes zur Reduzierung des Kämmwiderstandes um ihre Zinken-Längsachse drehbar gelagert.From DE-PS 38 44 042 a handheld device is already the beginning known type known, the two together on a handle has connected combs, of which a first comb on the handle part is held immobile while the second comb is relative to it can be moved back and forth in linearly oscillating movements. Here are the comb teeth of the immovable comb to reduce the Combing resistance rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis.

Der Zweck des vorbekannten Handgerätes besteht darin, verfilzte Haare bei Mensch oder Tier zu parallelisieren, wobei fest verwurzelte Haare möglichst nicht ausgerissen werden sollen. Das vorbekannte Handgerät ist funktionstüchtig, es hat aber den Nachteil, daß es nur in einer Richtung, nämlich mit dem beweglichen Kamm nach vorne, erfolgreich zu benutzen ist. The purpose of the prior art handheld device is matted Parallelize hair in humans or animals, being firm rooted hair should not be pulled out if possible. The Previously known handheld device is functional, but it has the Disadvantage that it is only in one direction, namely with the movable Comb forward, use it successfully.

Es besteht daher insbesondere die Aufgabe, ein Handgerät der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, dessen Leistung gegenüber herkömmlichen Entwirrkämmen dieser Art erhöht ist und daß in jeder Richtung sowie wahlweise mit der rechten oder linken Hand in gleicher Weise mit Erfolg einsetzbar ist.There is therefore in particular the task of a handheld device to create the kind mentioned above, its performance conventional detangling combs of this type is increased and that in each Direction and either with the right or left hand in can also be used with success.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht bei dem Handgerät der eingangs erwähnten Art insbesondere darin, daß der Antrieb als ein zumindest jeweils zwei benachbarte Kammzinken gegenläufig und mit alternierender Drehrichtung etwa um ihre Zinken-Längsachse schwenkender Drehantrieb ausgebildet ist.The inventive solution to this problem consists in the Handheld device of the type mentioned in particular in that the Drive as one at least two adjacent comb teeth in opposite directions and with alternating direction of rotation about theirs Tine longitudinal axis pivoting rotary drive is formed.

Das erfindungsgemäße Handgerät weist eine Anzahl drehbar gelagerter Kammzinken auf, von denen jeweils zwei benachbarte Kammzinken gegenläufig und mit alternierender Drehrichtung um ihre Zinken-Längsachse drehantreibbar sind. Da keine kontinuierliche Drehung der Kammzinken, sondern nur ein Hin- und Herschwenken, das heißt ein alternierendes Drehen vorgesehen ist, können die bearbeiteten Haare sich nicht auf einen der Kammzinken aufwickeln, wodurch die hohe Leistungsfähigkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Handgerätes besonders begünstigt wird. Beim Hindurchführen des erfindungsgemäßen Handgerätes durch das Haar wird dieses von den alternierend-rotierenden Kammzinken derart aufgeweitet, daß darin Verschlingungen sowie Verfilzungen aufgelöst werden, ohne daß das Haar wesentlich beansprucht wird. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen motorgetriebenen Handgerät lassen sich somit auch stark verfilzte Haare von Menschen und Tieren problemlos entwirren, ohne daß dabei festverwurzelte Haare ausgerissen werden, wobei das erfindungsgemäße Handgerät in jeder Arbeitsrichtung und sowohl in der rechten als auch in der linken Hand erfolgreich und auf einfache Weise einsetzbar ist.The handheld device according to the invention has a number of rotatably mounted Comb teeth, two of which are adjacent comb teeth in opposite directions and with alternating direction of rotation about their tine longitudinal axis are drivable. Because no continuous rotation the comb teeth, just a back and forth swing, that is an alternate turning is provided, the machined Do not wrap hair on one of the comb teeth, causing the high performance of the handheld device according to the invention is particularly favored. When performing the invention Handheld device through the hair of the hair alternating-rotating comb teeth expanded in such a way that Entanglements and matting can be resolved without the Hair is significantly stressed. With the invention motor-driven handheld device can also be heavily matted Untangle human and animal hairs easily without doing so firmly rooted hair can be pulled out, the inventive Handheld device in every working direction and both in the right as well as in the left hand successfully and easily can be used.

Um einem Aufwickeln der Haare auf den Kammzinken noch zusätzlich entgegenzuwirken ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Kanmzinken in einem Drehwinkel kleiner 180° und vorzugsweise zwischen 90° und 120° um ihre Zinken-Längsachse bewegbar sind.To wind up the hair on the comb teeth even more To counteract it, it is advantageous if the joint tines in one Angle of rotation less than 180 ° and preferably between 90 ° and 120 ° are movable about their tine longitudinal axis.

Eine bevorzugte und besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Kammzinken als Flachzinken ausgebildet sind. Darunter sind lamellen- oder plattenförmige Kammzinken zu verstehen, die im Querschnitt eine im Vergleich zur Dicke groß bemessene Breite aufweisen. Diese lamellenförmige Flachzinken können gerade Längsränder besitzen. Vorzugsweise sind die Längsränder der Kammzinken jedoch beidseits wellenförmig ausgebildet, etwa nach Art eines von der Messerschleiferei her bekannten Wellenschliffs, wie er beispielsweise bei Brotmessern üblich ist.A preferred and particularly advantageous embodiment according to the invention provides that the comb teeth as flat teeth are trained. Below are lamellar or plate-shaped To understand comb teeth, the one in cross section in comparison have a large width. This lamellar Flat tines can have straight longitudinal edges. Are preferred the longitudinal edges of the comb teeth, however, wavy on both sides trained, for example in the manner of a knife sharpening well-known serrated edge, as used for example in bread knives is common.

Überraschend hat sich herausgestellt, daß das erfindungsgemäße Handgerät nicht nur zum Entwirren der Haare, sondern auch zum gleichzeitigen Massieren der Haut, Haarwurzeln usw. geeignet ist, wenn die freien Zinkenenden der Kammzinken so abgerundet sind, daß sie auch während des Betriebs des Handgerätes die Haut am Boden der Haare zwar behandeln, aber nicht verletzen können.It has surprisingly been found that the invention Handheld device not only for detangling hair, but also for simultaneous massage of the skin, hair roots etc. is suitable, when the free teeth ends of the comb teeth are so rounded, that they are on the skin even during operation of the handheld device Treat the bottom of the hair but not hurt it.

Um die Kammzinken besonders einfach und gut durch die Haare führen und darin auch eventuelle Verschlingungen oder Verfilzungen leicht entwirren zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Kammzinken am Kammrücken in etwa einer Linie und in vorzugsweise gleichmäßigen Abständen voneinander angeordnet sind. Aus demselben Grund sollten sich auch die Kammzinken zu ihrem freien Zinkenende hin verjüngen, wodurch zusätzlich eine schonende Behandlung der Haare sichergestellt wird.To run the comb teeth particularly easily and well through the hair and also possible entanglements or matting To be able to unravel, it is advantageous if the comb teeth on Ridge of the comb in about a line and preferably in a uniform manner Distances are arranged from each other. For the same reason the comb teeth also taper towards their free end, which also ensures a gentle treatment of the hair becomes.

Um die Kammzinken in gegensinnige sowie alternierende Drehrichtungen antreiben zu können, sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, daß die Kammzinken jeweils mit einem Zahnrad, Reibrad, Exzenterrad oder dergleichen Rotationsantriebsorgan drehfest verbunden sind, daß die Rotationsantriebsorgane der Kammzinken mit einem gemeinsamen und auf beiden Seiten der Rotationsantriebsorgane angeordneten Gegenantriebsorgan zusammenwirken, daß die Rotationsantriebsorgane zumindest jeweils zweier benachbarter Kammzinken an gegenüberliegenden Längsseiten des Gegenantriebsorgans angreifen und daß die Rotationsantriebsorgane eine Schiebe- oder Umlaufbewegung des Gegenantriebsorgans in eine Schwenk- oder Drehbewegung des mit ihnen drehfest verbundenen Kammzinkens umsetzen. Dabei kann das Gegenantriebsorgan als Zahnriemen ausgebildet sein oder einen Zahnriemen aufweisen, welcher mit den Rotationsantriebsorganen in Antriebsverbindung steht. Mit Hilfe eines solchen Zahnriemens läßt sich eine weiche und geräuschmindernde Kopplung zwischen dem Drehantrieb einerseits und dem Kammzinken andererseits erzielen.Around the comb teeth in opposite and alternating directions of rotation to be able to drive sees a preferred embodiment according to the invention that the comb teeth each with a Gear wheel, friction wheel, eccentric wheel or the like rotary drive element are rotatably connected that the rotary drive members the comb teeth with a joint and on both sides of the Rotating drive elements arranged to interact counter drive element, that the rotary drive members at least two each adjacent comb teeth on opposite long sides of the Attack counter drive element and that the rotary drive elements a sliding or orbital movement of the counter-drive element in a Swiveling or rotating movement of the rotatably connected with them Implement comb teeth. Here, the counter-drive element as Toothed belt can be formed or have a toothed belt, which is in drive connection with the rotary drive elements stands. With the help of such a timing belt, a soft one and noise-reducing coupling between the rotary drive on the one hand and the comb teeth on the other hand.

Möglich ist aber auch, daß das Gegenantriebsorgan als eine auf beiden Seiten der Rotationsantriebsorgane angeordnete Zahnstange ausgebildet ist. Unabhängig davon, ob das Gegenantriebsorgan nun als Zahnriemen oder Zahnstange ausgebildet ist, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Rotationsbewegung eines Antriebsmotors mittels eines Exzenterantriebes in eine linear-oszillierende Schiebebewegung des Gegenantriebsorgans umsetzbar ist.But it is also possible that the counter-drive element as one Rack arranged on both sides of the rotary drive elements is trained. Regardless of whether the counter drive element now is designed as a toothed belt or rack, it is advantageous if the rotational movement of a drive motor by means of a Eccentric drive in a linear-oscillating sliding movement the counter-drive element can be implemented.

Eine andere Weiterbildung gemäß der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Kammzinken jeweils mit einem Zahnrad, Reibrad oder dergleichen Rotationsantriebsorgan drehfest verbunden sind, daß die Rotationsantriebsorgane benachbarter Kammzinken untereinander in Eingriff stehen und daß zumindest ein Rotationsantriebsorgan mittels eines Drehantriebes in alternierende Drehrichtungen antreibbar ist. Da die Rotationsantriebsorgane benachbarter Kammzinken in Eingriff miteinander stehen, ist sichergestellt, daß sich diese jeweils in gegensinnige Drehrichtungen bewegen. Wird zumindest eines dieser Rotationsantriebsorgane in alternierende Drehrichtungen bewegt, vollziehen auch die mit ihm in Antriebsverbindung stehenden Rotationsantriebsorgane eine oszillierende Drehbewegung.Another development according to the invention provides that the Comb teeth each with a gear, friction wheel or the like Rotational drive member are rotatably connected that the rotary drive members adjacent comb teeth engage with each other stand and that at least one rotary drive member by means of a Rotary drive can be driven in alternating directions of rotation. There the rotary drive members of adjacent comb teeth engage stand with each other, it is ensured that these are each move in opposite directions. Will be at least one of these Rotary drive elements moved in alternating directions of rotation, also carry out those connected to him Rotational drive elements an oscillating rotary movement.

Das erfindungsgemäße Handgerät ist so ausgelegt, daß das Handgerät einen Griffteil sowie einen die Kammzinken tragenden Kopfteil hat, die vorzugsweise mittels einer Antriebs- und Gehäusekupplung lösbar miteinander verbindbar sind. Auf diese Weise lassen sich für verschiedene Zwecke optimierte Zinkenanordnungen und -formen als Wechselkopf auf dem Griffteil anbringen.The handheld device according to the invention is designed so that the handheld device a handle part and a head part carrying the comb teeth has, preferably by means of a drive and housing coupling are releasably connectable. This way tine arrangements and shapes optimized for various purposes Attach it as an interchangeable head on the handle.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist ein Handgerät 1 zum Kämmen von Haaren mit einer Anzahl von Kammzinken 2 dargestellt, die an einem Kammrücken 3 drehbar gelagert und mittels eines Antriebes relativ zueinander bewegbar sind. Dabei ist der Antrieb als ein jeweils zwei benachbarte Kammzinken 2 gegenläufig und mit alternierender Drehrichtung etwa um ihre Zinken-Längsachse schwenkender Drehantrieb ausgebildet.In Figures 1 and 2 is a handheld device 1 for combing hair shown with a number of comb teeth 2, the one Comb back 3 rotatably mounted and relative by means of a drive are movable to each other. The drive is as one each two adjacent comb teeth 2 in opposite directions and with alternating Direction of rotation pivoting about its longitudinal axis Rotary drive designed.

Beim Kämmen wird das Haar eines Menschen oder eines Tieres durch die alternierend-rotierenden Kammzinken 2 derart aufgeweitet, daß darin Verschlingungen oder Verfilzungen aufgelöst werden, ohne daß das Haar wesentlich beansprucht wird.When combing, the hair of a human or animal is shed through the alternating-rotating comb teeth 2 expanded in such a way that in it, loops or mattings can be resolved without that the hair is stressed significantly.

Die Kammzinken 2 sind als platten- oder lamellenförmige Flachzinken ausgebildet, die in ihrem Querschnitt eine im Vergleich zur Dicke größer bemessene Breite aufweisen. Die Kammzinken 2, die am Kammrücken 3 in etwa einer Reihe angeordnet sind, sind in gleichmäßigen geringfügigen Abständen angeordnet, so daß sie sich bei ihrer Drehbewegung nicht störend berühren können. Um die Haare während des Betriebs des Handgerätes 1 nicht übermäßig zu beanspruchen, sind die Längsränder 4 der Kammzinken 2 beidseits wellenförmig nach Art eines Wellenschliffs ausgebildet. Die freien Zinkenenden 5 der Kammzinken 2 sind abgerundet, so daß das Handgerät 1 auch zum gleichmäßigen Massieren der Haut- und Haarwurzeln eingesetzt werden kann, ohne die Haut am Boden der Haare zu verletzen.The comb teeth 2 are in the form of flat or lamellar flat teeth formed in its cross-section compared to the thickness have a larger width. The comb teeth 2, which on Comb ridges 3 are arranged in approximately one row evenly spaced so that they are can not touch disturbing during their rotation. To the hair not excessive during the operation of the handheld device 1 claim, the longitudinal edges 4 of the comb teeth 2 are on both sides wavy in the manner of a serrated edge. The free Tine ends 5 of the comb teeth 2 are rounded, so that the Handheld device 1 also for even massaging the skin and Hair roots can be used without the skin on the bottom of the Hurt hair.

Durch die gegensinnige alternierende Drehbewegung der benachbarten Kammzinken 2 wird einem Aufwickeln der Haare auf einen der Kammzinken 2 entgegengewirkt und ein Ausreißen fest verwurzelter Haare vermieden. Um das Handgerät 1 leicht und wirkungsvoll durch die Haare führen zu können, verjüngen sich die Kammzinken 2 zu ihrem freien Zinkenende 5 hin. Due to the opposite, alternating rotary movement of the neighboring ones Comb teeth 2 will wind up the hair on one of the Comb teeth 2 counteracted and pulling out firmly rooted Avoided hair.

Um nun eine gegenläufige Drehbewegung der Kammzinken 2 zu erreichen, greifen die Zahnräder 17 benachbarter Kammzinken 2 an gegenüberliegenden Innenseiten des Zahnriemens 15 an (vgl. Fig. 2). Bei einer Hin- und Herbewegung des Zahnriemenhalters 16 sowie des darin befindlichen Zahnriemens 15 wird erreicht, daß benachbarte Zahnräder 17 und die mit ihnen drehfest verbundenen Kammzinken 2 sich immer gegenläufig drehen. Die Drehung erfolgt dabei mit der Frequenz der Hin- und Herbewegung des Zahnriemenhalters 16, so daß die einzelnen Kammzinken 2 nur in einem durch den Hub des Zahnriemenhalters 16 beschränkten Drehwinkel hin- und hergedreht werden.As is clear from FIGS. 2 and 5, the comb teeth sit 2 each on a shaft 18 mounted in the back of the comb 3 to achieve counter-rotating movement of the comb teeth 2 the gears 17 of adjacent comb teeth 2 on opposite Inside of the toothed belt 15 (see. Fig. 2). With a round trip Movement of the toothed belt holder 16 and the therein located timing belt 15 is achieved that adjacent Gears 17 and the comb teeth connected to them in a rotationally fixed manner 2 always turn in opposite directions. The rotation takes place with the frequency of the reciprocation of the toothed belt holder 16, so that the individual comb teeth 2 only in one by the stroke of Toothed belt holder 16 rotated limited angle of rotation back and forth will.

In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel werden die Kammzinken 2 innerhalb eines Drehwinkels von 120° hin- und herbewegt. Die einzelnen Kammzinken 2 schwenken also in Bezug auf die Mittellinie ihrer Schwenkbewegung nach jeder Seite größenordnungsmäßig um etwa 60°. In dem Ausführungsbeispiel wird es bevorzugt, wenn die genannte Mittellinie der Schwenkbewegung etwa senkrecht zu einer von benachbarten Kammzinken 2 aufgespannten Ebene liegt. Der Abstand der einzelnen Kammzinken soll nur etwa so groß sein, daß sich die Kammzinken, auch bei einer Schwenkbewegung, gerade nicht berühren.In a preferred embodiment, the comb teeth 2 moved back and forth within a rotation angle of 120 °. The individual comb teeth 2 pivot with respect to the center line their pivotal movement on each side in the order of magnitude 60 °. In the exemplary embodiment, it is preferred if the called center line of the pivoting movement approximately perpendicular to a from adjacent comb teeth 2 spanned level. Of the The distance between the individual comb teeth should only be about as large that the comb teeth do not move, even when swiveling touch.
