Definitions
- the invention relates to an accessory for an epilation device for removing hair from human skin, which has a housing that can be held in the hand of the user and an epilation head with clamping elements that can be moved relative to one another and to the skin for pinching and plucking the hair.
- the accessory having a means for thermal treatment of the skin.
- a skin cooling device is attached to the epilation device shown there in such a way that it comes into contact with the skin area to be epilated when it is swept over, is stroked over this skin area in accordance with the movement of the epilation device and is intended to cool the skin surface. This is intended to numb the skin and make it less sensitive to pain immediately before the hair is pulled out by the epilator.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing an accessory of the type mentioned at the outset which is distinguished by particularly comfortable handling and at the same time offers the possibility of tailoring the thermal treatment of the skin to the individual needs of the user.
- the solution according to the invention conveniently also offers the user the possibility of thermal treatment of the skin area to be epilated before, during and / or after the epilation, on the one hand to reduce the sensitivity to pain during the plucking and / or on the other hand any after-effects of the epilation that occur (in particular skin irritation) mitigate. No structural changes are necessary to the epilation device itself, so that it can maintain its compactness.
- the invention also enables a cooling time that is independent of the epilation rate, which also makes long-term cooling of the skin possible, for example.
- the invention offers the possibility of performing a thermal treatment of the skin without the use of further pain-reducing agents, in particular mechanical ones, such as, for example, stimulation rollers attached to the epilation device that act on the skin or mechanically active driven stimulation agents, the skin stimulation agents in themselves known way even as an essay. Accessories can be executed.
- the means for thermal treatment is provided in a holding device for the hand of the user ensures safe and convenient handling and direct contact between the hand of the user and the means for thermal treatment can be avoided.
- the means for thermal treatment can be removed from the holding device, which enables the use of commercially available cold packs or hot-cold compresses.
- the holding device has a receiving chamber for the means for thermal treatment formed by at least two walls, a first wall facing the skin and a second wall facing the hand of the user.
- the first wall of the receiving chamber has a higher thermal conductivity than the second wall of the receiving chamber.
- a particularly easy to manufacture and handle glove-like design of the accessory can be achieved if by means of the second wall and at least one additional layer provided on the side of the second wall opposite the receiving chamber, a hand holder for the hand of the user is formed.
- the hand holder can also serve as a storage chamber for the epilation device.
- the first wall has a rough surface on the outside.
- Fig. 3 is a plan view of the holding device
- Fig. 4 shows the back of the holding device.
- the electrical epilation device 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a housing which can be held in the hand of the user and which houses an electric motor which can be switched on and off by the switch 3.
- This drive not shown, sets the epilation head 4 in rotation, which is rotatably mounted in the housing part 5.
- the rotary head 4 rotates about its longitudinal axis and has a number of clamping elements 6 which are moved by suitable actuating means known per se such that two adjacent clamping elements periodically move towards or away from each other during the rotation. As a result, hair that has come between clamping elements is clamped between two clamping elements and plucked out of the skin due to the rotation of the epilation head.
- the epilation device 1 cannot be used here with known ones (see for example WO 97/00032, WO 99/44462 or DE 199 32 894) illustrated means for mechanical stimulation of the skin to be epilated be equipped.
- the epilation head 4 or the mechanical means for pain reduction that may be provided are brought into contact with the skin area to be epilated and moved along the same.
- the agent for thermal treatment of the skin in particular for cold treatment of the skin, is used, which is shown together with its holding device in FIGS. 2 and 2a.
- Fig. 2 shows an explosion of the structure of the glove-like holding device 10, which serves on the one hand to hold the agent for thermal treatment of the skin, and on the other hand to hold the hand of the user. 2a, this means for thermal treatment of the skin is provided as a hot-cold compress 11.
- the glove-like holding device essentially consists of three flexible walls or layers arranged one above the other, the first wall 12 being provided for resting on the skin surface to be epilated.
- This has a sufficiently high thermal conductivity to enable the thermal connection of the hot-cold compress 11 to the skin.
- the first wall prevents direct contact of the compress 11 with the skin, so that cold burns or frostbite are avoided.
- the first wall 12 can e.g. be designed as a plastic film or as a network. It also serves to protect the compress 11 from excessive frictional loads. In addition, it prevents the skin area to be epilated from being moistened by condensation water which may form on the compress 11.
- the first wall 12 advantageously has a rough outside in order to be able to straighten the hair to be epilated before plucking.
- the first wall 12 can be made transparent so that the presence of the thermal treatment for the skin can be recognized immediately by the user.
- the second wall 13 separates the compress 11 from the hand and has a low thermal conductivity so as to thermally insulate the hand and the compress 11 from one another.
- the second wall 13 is therefore advantageously made of a plastic foam material, which ensures very good thermal insulation due to the air enclosed in the foam.
- a layer 14 lying above the second wall 13 forms together with this a hand holder for the hand of the user, while the walls 12 and 13 form the receiving chamber for the means for thermal treatment.
- Layer 14, which lies over the hand should be flexible and elastically extensible so that it can easily adapt to the contour of the hand.
- This layer 14 can also be partially interrupted and can also be realized, for example, by holding straps.
- This layer can also have a roughened surface on the outside so that it can be used effectively to rub the skin.
- All three layers or walls should be so flexible that the entire glove with inserted compress 11 can adapt to the area of skin to be cooled.
- the hot-cold compress shown in FIG. 2a consists, in a manner known per se, of a film bag which is filled with a gel-like heat storage agent which at least partially maintains its viscosity even at a temperature of approximately -18.degree. Since it can be removed from the holding device, it can be cooled separately in the freezer compartment and also stored there.
- the first and second wall 12 and 13 shown in FIG. 2 and the layer 14 are held together by the flange 15 or welded and / or sewn to it, the layer 14 and the first wall 12, each having a somewhat shorter extension have in the longitudinal direction than the second wall 13, each have at their open edge a further bead 16 or 17.
- the flanges 16 and 17 serve primarily to protect the edges from tearing.
- the edge 18 or its flange 16 is straight to ensure that the compress 11 is held securely, while the flange 17 and the edge 19 of the layer 14 assigned to it run concavely, on the one hand to allow the hand to be conveniently inserted into the hand holder to ensure and on the other hand to favor an optimal adaptation to the hand contour.
- Fig. 3 shows a plan view of the holding device and illustrates by the arrow the insertion of the hand between the layer 14 and the second wall 13 in the hand holder.
- Fig. 4 shows a view of the first wall 12 and the arrow indicates the insertion movement of the compress 11 in its receiving chamber.
- the skin temperature should be cooled below about 14 ° C if possible, which significantly slows down the process of conduction and thus reduces pain.
- this previous cold application also alleviates any skin irritation.
- the skin surface to be epilated can also be cooled by sliding the first wall 12 on the skin. Since metabolic processes are also slowed down by the effects of cold, skin irritation can also be significantly alleviated, which also makes use of cold after the epilation process sensible.
