Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUETECHNICAL AREA

La présente invention se rapporte au domaine technique des appareils d'épilation à cire susceptible d'être appliquée sur la peau à l'aide d'un rouleau applicateur.The present invention relates to the technical field of devices waxing wax that can be applied to the skin using a roller applicator.

La présente invention concerne un appareil d'épilation à cire thermofusible susceptible d'être étendue sur la peau pour enrober les poils à arracher, puis d'être arrachée, ledit appareil comportant un boítier susceptible d'être tenu à ou dans la main à l'intérieur duquel est disposé un réservoir pour stocker la masse de cire et un moyen de chauffe apte à chauffer la cire pour permettre son application à l'état sensiblement liquide sur la peau, ledit appareil étant associé à la sortie du réservoir à un rouleau applicateur de cire pourvu à sa surface de saignées.The present invention relates to a hot melt waxing appliance can be spread over the skin to coat the hairs to be plucked, then to be torn off, said device comprising a casing capable of being held at or in the hand inside which is placed a reservoir for storing the mass of wax and a heating means capable of heating the wax to allow its application in a substantially liquid state on the skin, said device being associated at the outlet of the reservoir to a wax applicator roller provided on its surface with bloodletting.

TECHNIQUE ANTERIEUREPRIOR ART

On connaít déjà de nombreux types d'appareils à épiler susceptibles d'appliquer une cire thermofusible à usage dépilatoire. Ces appareils sont constitués d'un réservoir de cire associé directement ou indirectement à des moyens de chauffe destinés à porter la cire au moins partiellement à sa température de ramollissement ou de fusion. Ces appareils sont associés à un moyen d'étalement de la cire comportant généralement un rouleau applicateur disposé au voisinage d'un orifice de sortie du réservoir.We already know many types of hair removal devices that can apply a hot melt wax for depilatory use. These devices are consist of a wax reservoir associated directly or indirectly with heating means intended to bring the wax at least partially to its softening or melting temperature. These devices are associated with a wax spreading means generally comprising an applicator roller disposed in the vicinity of an outlet opening of the tank.

De tels appareils sont par exemple décrits dans la demande de brevet Française n° 93.07.341 (numéro de publication 2706 261). Cet appareil est destiné à être utilisé avec une cire thermofusible dont les propriétés rhéologiques lui permettent une fois appliquée sur la peau d'être arrachée axialement dans le sens de la bande de cire appliquée tout en restant sensiblement parallèle à la zone d'application. La souplesse de la cire évite le déchirement de la bande, malgré l'épaisseur relativement fine de la bande de cire auparavant appliquée à l'aide d'un rouleau lisse.Such devices are for example described in the patent application French n ° 93.07.341 (publication number 2706 261). This device is intended to be used with a wax hot-melt whose rheological properties allow it once applied on the skin to be torn off axially in the direction of the wax strip applied while remaining substantially parallel to the application area. The flexibility of the wax prevents tearing of the strip, despite the thickness relatively thin strip of wax previously applied with a roller smooth.

Il apparaít néanmoins que dans certains cas extrêmes de l'utilisation, la bande de cire appliquée peut présenter une faiblesse relative à la résistance au déchirement lors de l'arrachage.It nevertheless appears that in certain extreme cases of use, the strip of applied wax may show weakness in resistance to tearing during uprooting.

On connaít par ailleurs déjà l'utilisation de rouleaux applicateurs de cire comportant des saignées à la surface du rouleau. Les rouleaux de ce genre sont décrits par exemple dans la demande de brevet EP-0.4.99.318 qui décrit un appareil d'épilation ainsi pourvu d'un rouleau comportant des saignées de manière ondulées selon l'axe du rouleau.We also know already the use of wax applicator rollers with grooves on the surface of the roller. Rolls like this are described for example in patent application EP-0.4.99.318 which describes a hair removal device thus provided with a roller comprising grooves of wavy along the axis of the roll.

Néanmoins il apparaít que la disposition axiale des saignées a pour inconvénient de créer sur la bande de cire une série de gorges ou cannelures constituant par rapport au sens axial d'arrachage des amorces de rupture de la bande. En définitive il s'avère qu'en pratique la bande est affaiblie et que les formes et la disposition des saignées sont inadaptées au renforcement de la bande de cire.Nevertheless it appears that the axial arrangement of the grooves has for disadvantage of creating a series of grooves or grooves on the wax strip constituent with respect to the axial direction of tearing off the primers for rupture of the bandaged. Ultimately it turns out that in practice the band is weakened and that the shapes and arrangement of the grooves are unsuitable for strengthening the wax strip.

EXPOSE DE L'INVENTIONSTATEMENT OF THE INVENTION

L'objet de l'invention vise en conséquence à remédier aux inconvénients mentionnés précédemment et à proposer un appareil d'épilation à cire permettant d'améliorer la résistance au déchirement de la bande de cire lorsque cette dernière est arrachée. The object of the invention therefore aims to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above and to offer a waxing device improving the tear resistance of the wax strip when the latter is torn off.

Les objets assignés à l'invention sont atteints à l'aide d'un appareil d'épilation à cire thermofusible comportant un boítier susceptible d'être tenu à ou dans la main à l'intérieur duquel est disposé : un réservoir pour stocker la cire et un moyen de chauffe apte à chauffer la cire pour permettre son application à l'état sensiblement liquide, ledit appareil comportant associé à la sortie du réservoir un rouleau applicateur de cire pourvu à sa surface de saignées, caractérisé en ce que les saignées s'étendent sensiblement dans le sens du roulement du rouleau de manière à définir sur la bande de cire appliquée des zones de surépaisseur sensiblement parallèles au sens de l'arrachage de la bande.The objects assigned to the invention are achieved using a hair removal device hot melt wax comprising a casing capable of being held in or in the hand inside which is arranged: a tank to store the wax and a heating means capable of heating the wax to allow its application in the state substantially liquid, said apparatus comprising associated with the outlet of the reservoir a wax applicator roller provided with grooves on its surface, characterized in that the grooves extend substantially in the rolling direction of the roller so as to define areas of the applied wax extra thickness substantially parallel to the direction of tearing off the strip.

MEILLEURE MANIERE DE REALISER L'INVENTIONBEST WAY TO IMPLEMENT THE INVENTION

La présente invention concerne un appareil d'épilation à cire thermofusible comportant comme cela est bien connu dans l'art antérieur, un boítier susceptible d'être tenu à ou dans la main réalisé par exemple en matière plastique. Un tel appareil est par exemple décrit dans la demande de brevet FR-93.07.341, du même demandeur et dont la description est considérée comme incorporée dans la présente demande. A l'intérieur du boítier est disposé un réservoir, de préférence métallique, destiné à stocker la cire. The present invention relates to a hot melt waxing appliance comprising as is well known in the prior art, a housing likely to be held in or in the hand made for example in material plastic. Such an apparatus is for example described in the patent application FR-93.07.341, from the same applicant and whose description is considered as incorporated into this application. Inside the case is arranged a tank, preferably metallic, intended to store the wax.

L'appareil comporte également un moyen de chauffe, par exemple une résistance de type PCT, montée en liaison thermique avec le réservoir et destinée à lui fournir directement ou indirectement, l'énergie thermique nécessaire à la fusion de la cire.The apparatus also includes a heating means, for example a PCT type resistor, mounted in thermal connection with the tank and intended to supply it directly or indirectly, thermal energy necessary for melting the wax.

L'appareil d'épilation comporte également l'ensemble des éléments et connexions électriques nécessaires pour l'alimentation électrique des moyens de chauffe.The hair removal device also includes all of the elements and electrical connections necessary for the power supply of the means heating.

L'appareil d'épilation comprend également un organe d'application de la cire, en l'occurrence un rouleau applicateur 1 monté en association, et par exemple en association avec la sortie 2 du réservoir pour permettre l'écoulement de la cire.The hair removal apparatus also includes a member for applying the wax, in this case an applicator roller 1 mounted in association, and for example in combination with outlet 2 of the tank to allow the flow of the wax.

Le rouleau applicateur 1 est maintenu en place de manière fixe ou amovible sur le corps du boítier de l'appareil par tous moyens connus et par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'axes 3.The applicator roller 1 is held in place in a fixed or removable manner on the body of the housing of the device by any known means and for example by through axes 3.

Selon une particularité intéressante de l'invention, le rouleau 1 est pourvu à sa surface de saignées 4 s'étendant sensiblement dans le sens du roulement du rouleau.According to an interesting feature of the invention, the roller 1 is provided with its grooved surface 4 extending substantially in the direction of rolling of the roller.

Les saignées s'étendent de préférence dans des plans sensiblement perpendiculaires à l'axe x-x' du rouleau 1, et les saignées étant parallèles entre elles et de préférence équidistantes.The grooves preferably extend in substantially planes perpendicular to the axis x-x 'of the roll 1, and the grooves being parallel between them and preferably equidistant.

Selon la variante préférentielle montrée à la figure 1, les saignées 4 sont circulaires de section sensiblement hémisphérique, pour former à la périphérie du rouleau 1 une pluralité de gorge annulaire et circulaire.According to the preferred variant shown in Figure 1, the grooves 4 are circular of substantially hemispherical section, to form at the periphery of the roller 1 a plurality of annular and circular grooves.

Selon la version préférentielle montrée à la figure 1, les saignées circulaires sont au nombre de 10. According to the preferred version shown in Figure 1, the circular grooves are 10 in number.

Selon cette disposition, le rouleau applicateur conforme à l'invention permet d'appliquer une bande de cire 10, montrée en partie à la figure 2 dont le profil montre une série de nervures 11 en surélévation par rapport au profil normal de la bande 10. Les nervures 11 sont le résultat de l'action d'étalement provoqué par des saignées, elles constituent sur la bande de cire à appliquer 10, des zones de surépaisseur sensiblement parallèles au sens de l'arrachage F de la bande 10. Elles permettent ainsi d'augmenter de manière significative, et par exemple de l'ordre d'au moins 5 à 20 % la résistance à l'arrachement de la bande de cire 10. Dans la pratique on obtient ainsi en dimensionnant de manière optimale les dimensions et l'espacement des saignées 4 par rapport à l'épaisseur et à la largeur moyenne de la bande de cire 10, une augmentation de la résistance à l'arrachement de l'ordre de 10 % en moyenne.According to this arrangement, the applicator roller according to the invention allows applying a strip of wax 10, shown in part in FIG. 2, the profile of which shows a series of ribs 11 raised above the normal profile of the strip 10. The ribs 11 are the result of the spreading action caused by grooves, they constitute on the strip of wax to be applied 10, zones of excess thickness substantially parallel to the direction of tearing F of the strip 10. They thus make it possible to increase significantly, and by example of the order of at least 5 to 20% the tear resistance of the wax strip 10. In practice, this is achieved by sizing optimally the dimensions and the spacing of the grooves 4 relative to the thickness and average width of the wax strip 10, an increase pull-out resistance of around 10% on average.

Selon une version avantageuse de l'invention, la profondeur moyenne des saignées 4 est de l'ordre de 0,3 millimètres, la largeur des moyennes des saignées étant de l'ordre de 0,5 millimètres, les saignées 4 étant espacées d'une distance de l'ordre 2,8 millimètres.According to an advantageous version of the invention, the average depth of the grooves 4 is of the order of 0.3 millimeters, the width of the means of grooves being of the order of 0.5 millimeters, grooves 4 being spaced a distance of around 2.8 millimeters.

La figure 3 montre une variante de réalisation de l'invention, dans laquelle les saignées 4 sont réalisées sous la forme de segments courbes, de préférence équidistants entre eux.FIG. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention, in which the grooves 4 are produced in the form of curved segments, preferably equidistant from each other.

La figure 4 montre une autre variante de réalisation dans laquelle les saignées 4 forment une pluralité de segments 4a, alignés circonférentiellement à la surface du rouleau 1 sur un même cercle théorique centré sur l'axe du rouleau 1. Avantageusement, les segments 4a des deux cercles adjacents se recouvrent au moins sur une portion s de surface.Figure 4 shows another alternative embodiment in which the grooves 4 form a plurality of segments 4a, aligned circumferentially with the surface of roller 1 on the same theoretical circle centered on the axis of the roller 1. Advantageously, the segments 4a of the two adjacent circles are cover at least over a portion s of surface.

Selon la variante de réalisation montrée à la figure 5, les saignées 4 peuvent former une série de serpentins, de préférence équidistants entre eux. According to the alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the grooves 4 can form a series of coils, preferably equidistant from each other.

Le rouleau conforme à l'invention permet en conséquence, à la fois de limiter la quantité de cire déposée tout en augmentant de manière significative la résistance au déchirement de la bande de cire.The roller according to the invention therefore makes it possible both to limit the amount of wax deposited while significantly increasing the resistance to tearing of the wax strip.
