Definitions

  • the invention relates to an attachment for a device for plucking hair from human skin, the device being provided with a housing for receiving a motor for driving at least one clamping device rotatable about a first axis for plucking the hair.
  • an epilation device for plucking hair from human skin which has a rotary cylinder, which is accommodated in a housing and is driven by a motor and is provided with a plurality of clamping devices.
  • the rotary cylinder executes a rotary movement during which the clamping devices carry out a clamping movement cyclically. If the user places the epilation device on the skin, the hairs of the skin are gripped and plucked by the clamping devices as a result of the clamping movement.
  • the known epilation device is further provided with means which give a unique impulse to the skin immediately before each plucking of hair. This impulse causes a pain to the user which is felt to be less uncomfortable than the actual pain caused by the plucking.
  • An additional attachment for the epilation device is therefore provided, which contains the means for pain relief. It is therefore not necessary to integrate these means into the device itself with a high level of design effort, but it is sufficient to provide the unchanged epilation device with the attachment. Obviously, this represents an im With regard to the constructive design, as well as with regard to the costs required for this purpose, the possibility of reducing the pain when plucking the hair is reduced by corresponding previous impulses.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that even existing epilation devices can be retrofitted with the attachment, so that retrofitting and thus subsequent improvement of existing epilation devices is possible.
  • the attachment can be removed from the epilation device after use and cleaned separately. This further simplifies and improves handling of the epilation device.
  • a second axis is provided which is oriented approximately parallel to the first axis and on which the element is rotatably arranged. It is particularly expedient if a wheel or a gearwheel or the like is provided as the element, which rolls on the skin before plucking the hair. Gears are also understood to mean: irritation wheels, toothed disk, profile disk and other elements with which the human skin can be irritated.
  • the gears always come into contact with the skin in front of the clamping devices.
  • the skin is irritated by the teeth of the gear wheel rolling on the skin. This irritation occurs before the hair is actually plucked by the clamping devices. Due to the irritation, the sensation of pain at the affected area is reduced. As a result, the subsequent plucking of the hair is perceived by the user as less painful.
  • a plurality of elements are rotatably arranged next to one another on the second axis. It is particularly expedient if the majority of the elements can be rotated independently of one another.
  • the plurality of mutually independent toothed wheels further increases the irritation at the relevant point on the skin, so that overall the pain during the subsequent plucking of the hair is further reduced.
  • a third axis is provided which is oriented approximately parallel to the first axis and on which a roller or a shaft or the like is rotatably arranged.
  • the holder of the second and / or third axis is designed so that it can pivot in the direction of the housing. It is particularly useful if the second and / or third axis is spring-loaded such that they emerge from the housing.
  • attachment can be plugged onto the housing and, if appropriate, detachably locked.
  • the present invention can not only be implemented as an attachment, but can also be integrated directly into the epilation device as such. Because of the simple design of the present invention, this embodiment of the invention also has significant advantages compared to the known epilation devices.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of an attachment according to the invention for a device for plucking hair from human skin
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic perspective view of the attachment of FIG. 1 attached to the device for plucking hair
  • 3a to 3d show schematic side views of the attachment of FIG. 1 attached to the device in different positions.
  • FIG. 2 shows a plucking head 1 of a device 2 for plucking hair from human skin, as is described in the two published documents mentioned.
  • the plucking head 1 has a housing 3 in which a rotary cylinder 4 is rotatably mounted about a first axis.
  • a motor is housed with which the rotary cylinder 4 can be driven.
  • the rotary cylinder 4 has a plurality of clamping devices 5, which protrude through an opening 6 of the housing 3 and can be placed on the skin.
  • the clamping devices 5, together with the rotary cylinder 4 perform a rotary movement, in which the clamping devices 5 also perform a clamping movement cyclically in the region of the opening 6.
  • the hairs of the skin facing the clamping devices 5 during the clamping movement are grasped and plucked by the clamping devices 5.
  • FIG. 1 shows an attachment 7 which can be attached to the device 2 for plucking the hair of the human skin.
  • the attachment 7 and the housing 3 of the plucking head 1 have mutually associated molded parts or the like, by means of which the attachment 7 can be placed on the housing 3 in a form-fitting manner - 5 -
  • devices can also be present with which the attachment 7 can be releasably locked on the housing 3.
  • the attachment 7 has a second axis 8, which is arranged approximately parallel to the first axis of the rotary cylinder 4.
  • a plurality of gear wheels 9 are arranged spaced apart from one another, which are rotatably mounted on the second axis 8.
  • the second axis 8 with the gear wheels 9 has a longitudinal extent which corresponds approximately to the longitudinal extent of the rotary cylinder 4. Transversely to the longitudinal extent of the second axis 8, the gear wheels 9 are arranged directly adjacent to the rotary cylinder 4.
  • the individual gears 9 on the second axis 8 can be rotated independently of one another. They can also be rotated independently of the rotary movement of the motor and / or the rotary cylinder 4. However, it is possible that the gears 9 are also coupled to one another and in particular are driven individually or jointly by the rotary cylinder 4 or the motor.
  • the attachment 7 has a third axis 10 which is arranged approximately parallel to the first axis of the rotary cylinder 4.
  • a roller 11 is provided on the third axis 10 and is rotatably mounted on the third axis 10.
  • the third axis 10 and the roller 11 have a longitudinal extent which corresponds approximately to the longitudinal extent of the rotary cylinder 4. Furthermore, the longitudinal dimensions of the second axis 8 and the third axis 10 are approximately the same. Transversely to the longitudinal extent of the third axis 10, the roller 11 is arranged directly adjacent to the rotary cylinder 4.
  • the roller 11 is rotatable independently of the rotational movement of the motor and / or the rotary cylinder 4 and / or the gear wheels 9. However, it is possible that the roller 11 is also driven by the rotary cylinder 4 or the mopor. It is also possible that the roller 11 and the gear wheels 9 are coupled with one another with respect to their rotational movement.
  • the second axis 8 is held on a frame 12 and the third axis 10 is held on a frame 13.
  • the frames 12, 13 are each approximately U-shaped, the respective axis 8, 10 being mounted on the free ends of the legs 14. Furthermore, the legs 14 of the frame 12, 13 are curved or arched approximately according to the shape of the attachment 7 and the housing 3. - 6 -
  • the two frames 12, 13 dip into the attachment 7 and are held there by appropriate means.
  • the attachment 7 contains guides 15 in which the frames 12, 13 can be moved in the direction of the legs 14. The displacement is limited by appropriate stops.
  • springs or the like are housed, with which the frames 12, 13 are pressed out of the attachment.
  • the two frames 12, 13 can be moved independently of one another in the guides 15.
  • the gearwheels 9 and the roller 11 can thus immerse independently of one another in the attachment 7 or move out of the attachment 7.
  • this joint pivoting movement is also used for other purposes, for example for adjusting the closing time of the clamping devices 5.
  • FIGS. 3a to 3d different positions of the frame 12, 13 and thus the second axis 8 with the gears 9 and the third axis 10 with the roller 11 are shown.
  • the gears 9 and the roller 11 are in an extended normal position, which is achieved by the spring load and is maintained without external influences.
  • the frames 12, 13 are completely immersed in the attachment 7, so that the gears 9 and the roller 11 are in a retracted position.
  • FIGS. 3c and 3d two of a large number of intermediate positions are shown as examples, in which the toothed wheels 9 and the roller 11 can assume any positions between the respective normal positions and withdrawn positions independently of one another.
  • the skin is irritated by the rolling teeth of the gear wheels 9. This irritation causes the feeling of pain at this point on the skin to be reduced. As explained, the skin is irritated by the clamping devices 5 before the hair is actually plucked. This has the consequence that, due to the reduced sensation of pain, the pain caused by plucking the hair is no longer felt as strongly.
  • roller 11 tightens the skin while plucking the hair.
  • gears are also arranged on the third axis 10, so that the user can move the device 2 in both directions on the skin.
  • the pivotable frames 12, 13 and the first and second axes 8, 10 receding therewith enable the toothed wheels 9 or the roller 11 to adapt to any curvature of the skin.
