Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the removal of unwanted hair, and more precisely a device for human hair removal, with wax.
  • Hair removal techniques by applying a depilatory wax have been developed. These techniques involve melting a certain amount of wax, then apply it in the molten state on the area to be epilated. After hardening, that is to say after cooling, the cold wax film is then removed. The hairs are then extracted from the skin, due to their joining with the wax.
  • This device comprises a housing associated with a gripping means, a reservoir of the product to be applied, heating means and, at least one applicator roller.
  • This compact device of simplified design, allows the control and optimal control of the wax application temperature, a ease of use and cleaning, and limits the risk of environmental pollution.
  • a hair removal technique using a support band has also been developed, pre-coated with depilatory wax.
  • the operator places a sheet, or a pre-coated strip, in a device. This heats this strip, and allows the fusion of the wax which coats the support. After melting the wax on the support to which it adheres, the operator extracts the tape from the device and applies it to the skin at depilate, the coated side being deposited on the skin. The hairs are then coated, and after solidification, it suffices to manually tear off the strip to realize epilation of the desired area.
  • Such sheets, or pre-coated strips are for example described in document US-2,425,696. This document describes also coating wax formulas.
  • the device further comprises means to cool the strip before tearing.
  • this device finds its limits when by tearing off the strip of wax, the skin has the tendency to lift and follow the contour of the rounded rear frame, causing the formation of a bead and, consequently, the appearance of pain important.
  • Ribbon devices have the advantage of greatly simplifying the operation hair removal. However, if the operation of manually tearing off these strips remains relatively easy in accessible and relatively flat surfaces, like that of the legs or arms, this operation remains particularly difficult in inaccessible places, and particularly painful in places where the skin can be distended, especially under the armpits.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the methods previously mentioned, and to provide a device for human hair removal, the implementation of which is particularly simplified.
  • Another object of the invention is to allow the user easy use, on yourself, even in places that are not easily accessible.
  • Another object of the invention is also to limit the pain felt during the hair removal operation.
  • the invention relates to an apparatus for hair removal. Human with the features of claim 1.
  • This particular arrangement thus allows its user to maneuver the device with one hand, during all stages of the process hair removal. This arrangement thus facilitates the hair removal operation, and even in places that are not easily accessible.
  • the use of a pre-coated tape facilitates the implementation, and allows an effective depilation even on the hairs short.
  • An apparatus for human hair removal comprises a body 1, carrying and containing, all the constituent elements of this achievement.
  • This body serves also manual gripping means of the device.

  • This support 10 can be moved vertically by manual action of the user, exercised on a control lug 11.
  • the support 10 is held in the high position by the action of a spring 13.
  • the depilatory composition is a coating wax to be heated. before application.
  • Such a composition is particularly effective, because it allows better coating and coating of the hair to be depilated.
  • a heating element 8 connected to a heating pad 6, the assembly being connected to the support 10, makes it possible to reheat the ribbon 4, and thus melt the wax before application to the skin.
  • the front face of the body 1, or case, is closed by a removable cover 28.
  • the cover 28 When the cover 28 is removed, the resulting opening provides access to inside the body 1, making it possible in particular to remove the used ribbon 4, mounted on the storage rollers 5 and 7, and replace them with new ones reels 5 and 7 fitted with a new ribbon 4.
  • the body 1, of the hair removal device is provided in its lower part with an opening 2 more particularly visible in Figure 2. During hair removal, this opening 2 is placed and held on the skin 3 of the user.
  • a temperature sensor 9 allows regulation, by a device electronic, of the heating element 8.
  • the temperature of the pad 6 is adapted to quickly melt the wax deposited on the ribbon 4, in its part in contact with this skate.
  • the shoe 6 has a slightly curved shape, in its part low. This shape is also substantially parallel to the opening 2.
  • the tape storage and transfer means can be maintained in position via stop means. These means thus allow a blocking of the unwinding of the ribbon 4.
  • the means for blocking the unwinding of the tape consist of by two pawls 24 and 25. These pawls are in the form of an inverted V, and held in position by a spring device. Each pawl 24, 25 is held by an axis, integral with support 10. In position high, one of the two branches of each pawl 24, 25 engages in a clearance 26, 27 arranged inside the side walls of the body 1. The other branch of the pawl 24, 25 is thus, under the action of the spring, brought to the contact of at least one of the two outer discs of the coil 5 or 7. This branch of the pawl 24 or 25 then engages in a toothing system, shape combined with that of the branch, and thus allowing blocking, in rotation, coils 5 and 7, and consequently the blocking of the ribbon.
  • the mobile support 10 is shown in the high position, in FIG. 3.
  • This support can move along a rod 22, and is held in position high by the action of a spring 13.
  • a ring 21, conical, split Inside the support 10, and around the rod 22, is placed a ring 21, conical, split.
  • This ring 21 engages in a conical housing, arranged in the support 10, under the action of a spring 23 'supported by a cover fixed on the support 10.
  • a locking device for the low position comprises a part, positioned on the body 1, comprising a lug 15 which can engage, in the low position, in a clearance arranged in the support 10, and thus blocking the assembly of the support in the low position.
  • the means for unlocking the low position include a push button 16 arranged on the blocking part.
  • Locking means in an intermediate position, include a flip-flop 17.
  • This flip-flop comprises, in its lower part, a ramp 19 and in its upper part a shoulder 20, coming into contact with the support 10 mobile.
  • a spring 14 coming in support, on one side on the rocker 17, and on the other side on a through span of the support 1.
  • a heel fitted in the rocker 17 engages in an opening 18 arranged in the body 1.
  • the means for unlocking the intermediate position comprising a button pusher 23 arranged on a flexible element positioned on the body 1.
  • FIG. 4 is a section taken at the level of the reel 5 of the ribbon 4 and allows to represent the section plane 1-1 used for figure 1.
  • FIGS. 5A to 5E and 6A to 6E represent the positions, and the relative displacements of the different moving parts during operation of the device.
  • FIGS. 5A, 5E are shown more particularly, the means of blocking of the lower position and the intermediate position, as well as the means for unlocking these two positions.
  • the support 10 and the rocker 17 are shown in the high position in the figure 5A.
  • the support 10 is held in this position by the action of the spring 13, and maintains in this position the rocker 17 by pressing on the shoulder 20, the rocker 17 comes to bear on the axis 29, through, integral with the body 1 and thus maintains all of the parts 10, 17 in the high position.
  • a manual action exerted on the lug 11, shown in Figure 1, allows cause a downward movement of the support 10.
  • the displacement of the support 10 causes by the action of the ramp 19 a simultaneous movement of the toggle 17.
  • a lug 30, integral with the rocker 17 engages in an opening 18 arranged in the body 1, thus locking the rocker in an intermediate position.
  • the action on button 16 causes the deformation of the locking device around an axis integral with the body 1.
  • the lug 15 emerges from the recess 31.
  • the action of the spring 13 causes the raising the support 10.
  • the implementation of the means of release of the intermediate position i.e. in this embodiment an action on the push button 23 instantly causes, under the action of the springs 13, 14, the immediate rise of the support 10 and the rocker 17.
  • the rod 22 is of a diameter less than that of its lower part. So the conical and split ring 21 exerts no tightening on the rod 22, the ascent from the intermediate position to the high position is therefore done suddenly and without braking.
  • FIGS 6A to 6E show the elements presented in Figure 2 and present the different operating steps of the hair removal process.
  • this step also constitutes a step preheating.
  • the ribbon 4 is pre-coated with a fusible depilatory composition to a temperature higher than the temperature of the human body but lower than 100 ° C. This avoids excessive heat transfers from the device towards the skin, which can then cause burning phenomena.
  • an operating temperature is thus chosen located around 70 ° C.
  • the thickness of the composition deposited on the tape is between 0.2 and 0.5 mm.
  • this thickness is greater than the diameter of the hairs to be coated.
  • the heating element 8 is regulated by a simple electronic device and a temperature sensor 9. It allows rapid heating of the heating pad 6. The temperature of pad 6 is sufficient to melt the wax very quickly deposited on the ribbon 4 in its portion in contact with the shoe 6. The support 10 is then lowered manually.
  • step 6B the part of the ribbon 4 in contact with the pad 6 comes into contact with the skin 3. It is also possible to produce step 6A of preheating and 6B of descent of the shoe 6 when the appliance is not not in contact with the skin 3.
  • step 6A of preheating and 6B of descent of the shoe 6 when the appliance is not not in contact with the skin 3.
  • the part of the tape 4 in contact with the shoe 6 can then be applied directly with the appliance on the area to be epilated.
  • the shoe 6 heating maintains the composition to be depilated in a viscous state. Pressure applied to the user's skin, makes it possible to coat with hot wax supported by ribbon 4, the area to be epilated.
  • the user then presses the unlocking button in the low position.
  • the support 10 then moves to the intermediate position.
  • the ribbon wax 4 is no longer in contact with the heating elements, cools, hardens, and traps hairs.
  • the two pawls 24, 25 remain engaged and prevent rotation of the rollers 5, 7 for storing the ribbon 4.
  • the tape 4 is then detached from the skin and the hairs, located on the area to be epilated, are torn off.
  • an opening located on the cover or on the housing 1 rotates the reel 7 for receiving the ribbon 4.
  • the strand relaxed during the hair removal operation is then rewound.
  • the distance traveled by the shoe 6 between the low position and the intermediate position is equal to the length of the surface of the shoe 6 applied to the skin.
  • the ribbon 4 unwinds a length equal to the length of the ribbon used by each cycle of use. So when rewinding the ribbon 4 on the receiving reel 7, this operation allows to compensate for the wear of the ribbon 4 and a new surface of this ribbon comes in contact with the shoe 6.
  • the shoe 6 heater is L-shaped allowing to warm the composition to depilate over an area roughly twice that of the area applying tape 4 to the skin.
  • the heating pad 6 allows you to redesign the depilatory wax in the part coming into contact with the skin, the other area corresponds to a preheating zone thus allowing to preheat the composition to depilate and to decrease the wait necessary for the remelting of the wax between two cycles of use of the appliance.
  • the side walls of the body 1 coming resting on the skin 3 of the user define a holding zone whose outline is closed.
  • This arrangement corresponds to a preferred arrangement, but it is perfectly conceivable not to keep, resting on the skin of the user, that two side walls of the body 1, in opposition. This provision also allows maintenance of the skin of the user while defining a holding zone whose outline is open.
  • the area of the pad 6, heating, coming into contact with the user's skin 3 is of substantially shaped rectangular with a length of 4 cm and a width of 3 cm.
  • the height of the device is between 15 and 20 cm.
  • the support band used in the device, is chosen according to its mechanical qualities, on the one hand, having to withstand tension and stress exercised during the lifting phase, and on the other hand, because of its properties thermal, to be adapted to the depilatory wax coating the support, retain its properties when heating or reheating the wax depilate, while ensuring mechanical properties of attachment of this wax and by resisting chemical phenomena and aggressions.
  • This support can be of cellophane sheet type, or also of plastic material of the type tape roll.
