Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un appareil électrique à main du type sèche-cheveux, outil portatif ou dispositifs similaires présentant des organes de commande dont la position est variable, en vue d'augmenter la facilité et le confort d'utilisation.The present invention relates to a hand-held electric appliance such as a hairdryer portable or similar devices having organs control whose position is variable, in view to increase the ease and comfort of use.
En particulier, elle concerne un dispositif dont les. organes de commande peuvent être utilisés aussi bien par un droitier qu'un gaucher.In particular, it relates to a device whose. control elements can also be used both by a right-hander than a left-hander.
Un grand nombre de dispositifs électriques tels que les sèche-cheveux ainsi que d'autres appareils, ménagers ou autres, sont généralement constitués par un corps équipé d'une série d'organes fonctionnels. Il peut s'agir dans le cas d'un sèche-cheveux d'éléments destinés à chauffer, généralement électriquement, de l'air qui circule sous l'effet d'un moteur et d'un ventilateur et qui est prélevé à une extrémité du corps. L'air s'échauffe au contact d'éléments de chauffe (généralement des résistances électriques) et est ensuite expulsé à l'extrémité opposée sous forme d'un flux d'air chaud.A large number of electrical devices such as hair dryers and other devices, household or other, generally consist of a body equipped with a series of functional organs. he can in the case of a hairdryer, elements intended for generally circulating air heating under the effect of a motor and a fan and which is taken from one end of the body. The air heats up contact with heating elements (usually resistors electric) and is then expelled to the opposite end as a flow of hot air.
Généralement, l'extrémité de sortie est conformée ou peut être pourvue d'embouts amovibles de manière à conformer le flux d'air chaud libéré. Generally, the outlet end is shaped or can be fitted with removable end caps so as to conform the flow of hot air released.
Même si ledit corps est isolé, il est habituel de prévoir une poignée sur celui-ci qui est destinée à manipuler le sèche-cheveux. D'autres engins du même type, destinés à la coiffure, tels que des brosses soufflantes, sont conformés de manière similaire.Even if said body is isolated, it is usual to provide a handle on this one which is intended for handling the hair dryer. Other machines of the same type, intended for hairdressing, such as brushes blowers, are shaped similarly.
Egalement d'autres appareils ou dispositifs à usage ménager sont formés par un corps principal équipé des éléments fonctionnels et d'une poignée montée sur le corps.Also other devices or devices to household use are formed by a main body equipped with functional elements and a handle mounted on the body.
Le manche est alors généralement équipé d'une série d'organes de commande, habituellement des interrupteurs sous forme notamment de glissières, de poussoirs ou de bascules pour commander diverses fonctions.The handle is then generally equipped with a series of controls, usually switches in the form of slides, in particular buttons or rockers to control various functions.
Dans le cas d'un sèche-cheveux auquel on se réfèrera à titre d'exemple ci-après, un ou plusieurs interrupteurs agissent sur la vitesse du ventilateur, pour laquelle il est courant par exemple d'avoir trois positions (arrêt, marche lente et marche rapide).In the case of a hair dryer to which one refer to one or more by way of example below switches act on the fan speed, to which is common for example to have three positions (stop, slow walk and fast walk).
D'autres interrupteurs, comportant de la même manière, deux et de préférence trois positions agissent sur le chauffage. Ils comportent généralement une position d'interruption de la fonction de chauffage, une position intermédiaire et une position haute température.Other switches, comprising the same way, two and preferably three positions act on heating. They usually have a position of the heating function, a position intermediate and a high temperature position.
Généralement, un interrupteur complémentaire est destiné à donner un "coup de froid", c'est-à-dire, pendant un temps court en fonction de l'opération de coiffure à réaliser, un courant d'air froid. Ce type d'interrupteur est généralement muni d'un ressort, étant donné qu'il n'est actionné que pendant un temps très court et qu'en marche normale, il est ramené par le ressort à sa position initiale, ce qui permet de réintégrer le fonctionnement normal préréglé par les deux interrupteurs susmentionnés.Usually an additional switch is intended to give a "cold snap", that is to say, for a short time depending on the operation of hairstyle to achieve, a stream of cold air. This guy switch is usually provided with a spring, being given that it is only operated for a very short time and in normal operation, it is brought back by the spring to its initial position, which allows to reintegrate the normal operation preset by the two switches mentioned above.
Il est courant également de prévoir un bouton de verrouillage et de mise en route de l'installation. It is also common to provide a button locking and starting the installation.
Dans certains cas, il est courant de prévoir pour l'une ou l'autre fonction des molettes de réglage progressif, des interrupteurs du type sensitif ou des poussoirs de réglage de puissance. Tous ces organes de commande, c'est-à-dire d'actionnement et de réglage, sont conçus en fonction du type d'appareil et de sa destination.In some cases, it is common to plan for either function of the adjustment knobs progressive, sensitive type switches or power adjustment buttons. All these organs of control, i.e. actuation and adjustment, are designed according to the type of device and its destination.
Ces organes de commande, fonctionnant essentiellement comme une série ou une batterie d'interrupteurs ou de détentes, sont le plus souvent fixés sur la partie antérieure de la poignée ou sont disposés latéralement.These operating organs, operating basically like a series or a battery of switches or detents, are most often fixed on the front part of the handle or are arranged laterally.
Dans le cas du sèche-cheveux, les organes de commande sont utilisés par l'opérateur, qui peut être un tiers (par exemple, un coiffeur) mais qui peut également être une personne qui désire se coiffer ou se sécher les cheveux elle-même.In the case of the hair dryer, the organs of command are used by the operator, which can be a third party (for example, a hairdresser) but who can also be a person who wishes to comb or dry their hair hair itself.
Dans le cas où la batterie d'organes de commande est disposée latéralement, il faudrait idéalement deux modèles différents suivant que l'utilisateur est gaucher ou droitier. Lorsque la batterie d'organes de commande est disposée sur la face antérieure du sèche-cheveux, elle peut être utilisée aussi bien par les gauchers que par les droitiers.In the event that the battery of organs of control is arranged laterally, ideally two different models depending on whether the user is left or right handed. When the organ battery of control is located on the front side of the hair dryer, it can be used by both left-handed than by right-handed.
Cependant, cette dernière configuration n'est pas optimale, puisque l'utilisateur qui tient la poignée en main doit pouvoir opérer en manipulant les interrupteurs adéquats à l'aide du bout des doigts, ce qui en principe est plus facile dans le cas d'une disposition latérale de ces interrupteurs.However, this latter configuration is not not optimal, since the user holding the handle in hand must be able to operate by operating switches using the fingertips, which in principle is easier in the case of a lateral arrangement of these switches.
Cette configuration est particulièrement préférée lorsqu'une personne désire se sécher elle-même les cheveux, c'est-à-dire lorsque, généralement en se regardant dans un miroir, elle dirige vers elle le sèche-cheveux. Dans ce cas, la batterie d'organes de commande, si elle est disposée sur la face antérieure, se trouve quasiment dans la paume de la main. Ici à nouveau, une disposition latérale serait préférable, mais on se heurte encore une fois au fait qu'un opérateur gaucher ne pourra pas se servir d'un dispositif conçu pour un droitier.This configuration is particularly preferred when a person wishes to dry themselves hair, that is to say when, generally looking at each other in a mirror, she directs the hair dryer towards her. In this case, the battery of controls, if it is arranged on the front side, is almost in the palm of the hand. Here again, a layout lateral would be preferable, but we still run into a time to the fact that a left-handed operator cannot serve as a device designed for a right-hander.
On remarquera également que certains utilisateurs peuvent préférer une position intermédiaire entre la position sur la face antérieure et la disposition correspondant à un angle de 90 degrés (dans un sens ou dans l'autre en fonction de l'utilisation par un droitier ou par un gaucher) correspondant à la position latérale.We will also note that some users may prefer an intermediate position between the position on the front side and the layout corresponding to an angle of 90 degrees (in one direction or in the other depending on the use by a right-hander or by left-handed) corresponding to the lateral position.
La présente invention vise à apporter une solution aux difficultés mentionnées ci-dessus, et en particulier à fournir un appareil pour lequel la position des organes de commande peut être modifiée en fonction des souhaits de l'utilisateur.The present invention aims to provide a solution to the difficulties mentioned above, and particular to provide a device for which the position control elements can be modified according to user wishes.
L'invention sera décrite en référence aux dessins en annexe, qui représentent une forme d'exécution préférée de l'invention se rapportant à un sèche-cheveux.The invention will be described with reference to attached drawings, which represent an embodiment preferred of the invention relating to a hair dryer.
Celle-ci est donnée à titre d'illustration pour mieux comprendre l'invention et n'est en rien limitative quant à la portée de cette dernière.This is given by way of illustration to better understand the invention and is nothing limiting as to the scope of the latter.
La Figure 1 représente une vue schématique d'un dispositif du type sèche-cheveux selon l'invention, comportant une batterie d'organes de commande, en l'occurrence des interrupteurs. Dans la Figure 1.a, un barillet équipant la poignée et portant des interrupteurs est tourné en position latérale gauche (interrupteurs à 90° par rapport à la normale à la face frontale, dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d'une montre, vu de haut). Dans la Figure 1.b, le barillet de poignée se trouve en position frontale.Figure 1 shows a schematic view a device of the hair dryer type according to the invention, comprising a battery of control members, in the occurrence of switches. In Figure 1.a, a barrel fitted to the handle and carrying switches is turned to the left lateral position (switches at 90 ° from normal to the front face, in the direction counterclockwise, seen from above). In the Figure 1.b, the handle barrel is in position frontal.
La Figure 2 représente une vue du haut de la poignée de sèche-cheveux, selon l'invention, où figure un interrupteur, disposé selon trois positions du barillet: frontale (Figure 2.a), latérale droite à 45° (Figure 2.b) et latérale droite à 90° (Figure 2.c).Figure 2 shows a view from the top of the handle of a hairdryer, according to the invention, which shows a switch, arranged in three barrel positions: front (Figure 2.a), right side at 45 ° (Figure 2.b) and right side at 90 ° (Figure 2.c).
L'invention concerne un appareil électrique à main du type sèche-cheveux ou similaire comportant un corps incluant une série d'éléments fonctionnels, en l'occurrence pour un sèche-cheveux, une ou des résistances destinée(s) à chauffer électriquement de l'air et un ventilateur actionné par un moteur servant à créer un flux d'air chaud expulsé à une extrémité dudit corps et par une poignée présentant des organes de commande tels que des interrupteurs permettant à l'utilisateur d'actionner et de régler ledit appareil, caractérisé en ce que ladite poignée comporte au moins un barillet, mobile autour de son axe, et en ce que les organes de commande sont solidaires du mouvement du barillet.The invention relates to an electrical appliance with hand of the hair dryer type or the like having a body including a series of functional elements, in this case for a hair dryer, one or more resistors intended for electrically heat air and a powered fan by a motor used to create a flow of hot air expelled to one end of said body and by a handle having control elements such as switches allowing the user to operate and adjust said device, characterized in that said handle comprises at least one barrel, movable around its axis, and in that the control members are integral with the movement of the barrel.
Avantageusement, le barillet est muni d'au moins deux organes de commande destinés à assumer les fonctions essentielles du dispositif, à savoir agir sur la vitesse du ventilateur et sur la puissance de chauffe.Advantageously, the barrel is provided with at least two control elements intended to assume the essential functions of the device, namely acting on the fan speed and heating power.
De préférence, l'ensemble des différents interrupteurs est monté sur un barillet commun, mais l'invention n'exclut pas d'autres formes d'exécution, par exemple un positionnement d'un interrupteur général complémentaire (On/Off) sur le corps même de la poignée, en position fixe.Preferably, all of the different switches is mounted on a common barrel but the invention does not exclude other forms of execution, for example positioning of a general switch (On / Off) on the body of the handle, in fixed position.
De même, un barillet segmenté peut être prévu, chaque segment pouvant être pourvu d'un ou plusieurs interrupteurs et pouvant effectuer un mouvement de rotation indépendamment du segment adjacent.Similarly, a segmented barrel can be planned, each segment being able to be provided with one or more switches and able to rotate regardless of the adjacent segment.
Le terme "interrupteur" doit s'entendre au sens large et inclut tout régulateur, pas à pas ou en continu, des fonctions de chauffe et de vitesse du ventilateur.The term "switch" should be understood to mean broad sense and includes any regulator, step by step or in continuous, heating and speed functions of the fan.
Les interrupteurs peuvent être du type à glissière, à poussoir, à bascule.The switches can be of the slide, push, rocker.
De manière particulièrement avantageuse, un dispositif est prévu pour que le mouvement de rotation du barillet soit indexé par tout moyen approprié pour assumer des positions stables.Particularly advantageously, a device is provided so that the rotational movement of the barrel be indexed by any appropriate means to assume stable positions.
Lesdites positions stables comportent au moins une position latérale gauche, à 90° par rapport à la normale à la face antérieure de la poignée (dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d'une montre, vu du dessus), et une position latérale droite (idem, mais dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre), en passant par la disposition antérieure, ou frontale, et le cas échéant avec des dispositions intermédiaires (par exemple à 45 degrés) entre d'une part la position latérale gauche et la position antérieure et d'autre part ladite position antérieure et la position latérale droite.Said stable positions include minus a left lateral position, 90 ° to the normal to the front side of the handle (in the direction counterclockwise, seen from above), and a right lateral position (same, but in the direction of clockwise), going through the layout anterior, or frontal, and where appropriate with intermediate arrangements (for example at 45 degrees) between on the one hand the left lateral position and the position anterior and on the other hand said anterior position and the right lateral position.
Il est également possible de concevoir le barillet pour qu'il puisse également affecter des positions dépassant (vers l'arrière) la position latérale gauche et la position latérale droite, par exemple à 135°.It is also possible to design the barrel so that it can also affect positions exceeding (towards the rear) the left lateral position and the right lateral position, for example at 135 °.
Si on le souhaite, chacune des positions indexées peut être verrouillée par des moyens de verrouillage adéquat.If desired, each of the positions indexed can be locked by means of adequate locking.
S'agissant d'un dispositif électrique à main, celui-ci comporte un cordon d'alimentation électrique qui est raccordable à une prise de courant à une extrémité et qui pénètre dans le manche pour alimenter l'appareil en passant par les interrupteurs. Le câblage et/ou les contacts électriques à l'intérieur du manche au niveaux des interrupteurs sont conçus de manière à ne pas constituer d'entrave au mouvement du barillet pour passer d'une position à l'autre et partant à respecter les normes de sécurité.Being a hand-held electrical device, this includes an electrical power cord which is connectable to a socket at one end and which enters the handle to supply the device with going through the switches. Wiring and / or electrical contacts inside the handle at the switches are designed so as not to constitute obstructing the movement of the barrel to pass from one position to the other and therefore to respect the standards of security.
