  • Such an epilation device is known, for example, from WO 97/19613.
  • This document shows, with an integrated epilator massage arm facing the skin elastic protrusions of soft material, guided by two handlebars and through an eccentric driven parallel to the housing longitudinal axis is moved back and forth.
  • the Eccentric acts on the massage arm via a coil spring and causes a in the direction changing moment on the massage arm.
  • the height of the eccentric on The massage force transmitted by the clamping conditions and the geometric Dimensions are set and thus is also the stimulation of the skin of the user always constant through the massage arm.
  • the linear movement of the Masagearmes holds
  • the risk of Pinching the skin of the user in conjunction with the curved outer contour of the housing the risk of Pinching the skin of the user.
  • EP-A-760 219 discloses a stimulation device integrated in an epilation device known for the user's skin for pain reduction.
  • the stimulation agent shown there consists of a pivotally mounted on the housing U-shaped bracket, the directly by arranged on the epilator cam during rotation of this roller is driven swinging. In this arrangement, both stroke and frequency of the Stimulation agent constant, so that even with this device, the intensity of skin stimulation is fixed.
  • the stimulation devices of the epilators serve to reduce the subjective pain sensation when plucking body hair. This is achieved by that the pain caused by the plucking of the hair is an additional stimulus whose intensity is less than the Ausschupfriti or physiologically less unpleasant is, is superimposed. It has now been shown that the stimulus to be superimposed optimal Pain reduction in extremely strong measure of the individual characteristics and the different sensitivity of each user depends. This is in the known Epilation equipment is not taken into account, so that the pain reduction by this Devices are not sufficient for many users.

  • this object is achieved by this means at least one resilient Having component which elastically biases the contact element in the direction of the skin, and that the drive of these means takes place by coupling to the Epilierkopf.
  • Particularly suitable contact elements are rams or rollers, in particular Spiked or geared rollers rolling on the skin exposed.
  • a particularly sensitive intensity control enables the skin to be applied and, moreover, ensures that that by the constant distance between Epilierkopf and skin stimulant the skin can not pinch between the contact element and the epilation head.
  • An almost complete pain reduction is with an embodiment of the invention possible in which, in addition to the driven means for stoichiometric loading the skin has at least one other non-powered skin stimulant is provided.
  • the practical embodiment of such a design could be designed in this way be that, for example, to be epilated skin section before the plucking process is acted upon by one or more driven contact elements to a physiological to apply less unpleasant stimulus of high intensity, while the skin section after performing the plucking by one or more non-driven Contact elements is subjected to a stimulus of significantly lower intensity in the skin initiates.
  • the epilation device contributes in particular in that the means for the mechanical stimulating action on the skin by the Drive means of Epilierkopfes, ie without its own separate drive, are actuated, wherein it is particularly favorable in terms of drive technology, if these agents directly through the Epilierkopf be operated.
  • the means for mechanical stimulating action on the skin by the Drive means of Epilierkopfes ie without its own separate drive
  • it is particularly favorable in terms of drive technology if these agents directly through the Epilierkopf be operated.
  • a pulse-like exposure to the skin for optimal Pain reduction is crucial sees a preferred embodiment of the invention suggest that the operation of the means for mechanical stimulatory loading of the Skin via elastically deformable transmission elements takes place. This will be a sudden Release of the application energy after exceeding a predefined deformation allows the transmission element in a particularly simple way.
  • a further embodiment of the invention which, however, also simultaneously as independent Invention, provides that the means for stimulating the skin are provided in an attachment which has a body for attachment to the Housing and movably mounted in the base body means for stimulating application the skin, which is provided with coupling elements for coupling to the drive means are.
  • This solution which is innovative in itself, creates the opportunity for the To use pain relief agents as an accessory, which the user of the epilation device can use as needed.
  • This also makes it possible already existing Retrofit epilation equipment with a pain reduction device, without a special complicated conversion with costly changes to the epilator is necessary.
  • pain reducer suitable as a retrofit accessory especially the embodiment in which the means for mechanical stimulatory Application of the skin can be actuated directly through the epilation head.
  • the main body of the attachment can be positively or non-positively on Attach housing; is particularly favorable in terms of accuracy of fit and stability
  • an embodiment in which the body by a releasable lock with the housing is connectable.
  • the epilator shown in Fig. 1 has a partially illustrated housing 1, in an epilation head 2 is rotatably mounted.
  • the housing 1 also takes in his not graphically represented part, which also the gripping and holding by hand the user is used, an electric motor also not shown and the associated Torque transmission elements, these are in particular gear transmission to the rotating Drive the Epilierkopfes 2 on.
  • the epilation head according to the embodiment is as Rotary cylinder formed, as it is known from WO 98/05234. On the disclosure content This International Patent Application is expressly incorporated by reference.
  • the epilierkopf 2 is driven so that its rotation corresponds to the direction of the arrow 3. This is also the direction in which the epilation device plucking the hair is passed over the skin.
  • the epilation head 2 is a plurality of substantially in the circumferential direction extending Einfädelnuten 4, which the hair to be dispensed the Feed clamping elements 5.
  • the clamping elements 5 are not shown by drawing longitudinally in the epilation head. 2 extending plunger operated by means of laterally arranged next to the Epilierkopf 2 cams. These graphically also not shown cams are arranged so that approximately in the visible in the plan view of FIG. 1 range of about one quarter of the peripheral surface the actual plucking area of the epilation head is formed. In this plucking area the tweezer-type clamping elements 5, which open this plucking area in Reach position, gradually closed and after a certain angle of rotation in the closed position, opened again to the during the Close picked up hair and plucked out during the further rotation.
  • the applied with the first spiked roller 6 stimulus has the consequence that by the subsequent Plucking the hair caused pain is perceived as less strong.
