Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tweezers of the type comprising pliers for tearing unwanted hair, unwanted, the human body, and more particularly relates to such an apparatus equipped with means for reducing the pain caused by tearing of the bristles. fur.
  • This type of apparatus generally comprises blade or disk-shaped grippers arranged on a rotating or oscillating roller, arranged in the upper part of a housing forming a gripping means, the roller being driven in motion by an electric motor arranged in a the same case.
  • the tongs are caused to close and open periodically so as to clamp the bristles close to the skin and, respectively, to remove the hair torn off by the movement of the roller.
  • Hair removal by pulling hair is a very effective method against their regrowth, but often it causes significant pain before and / or after hair removal. This pain is due to the repeated pulling on the hair, or to the lesions or irritations of the hair follicles caused by the pulling of the hairs.
  • Theoretical and applied medical studies have shown that painful skin messages from nociceptors are transmitted to the central nervous system by nerve fibers and are controlled at the level of the spinal cord before reaching the cerebral cortex that emits pain sensations. .
  • Tactile afferents from superficial and deep cutaneous mechanoreceptors exert a strong inhibitory effect on pain messages at the medullary level, in accordance with the gate control theory of Melzack and Wall. Thus, it has been confirmed that by activating these mechanoreceptors at high frequencies, a significant and lasting reduction in pain sensation can be achieved.
  • depilators known in the state of the art use pain-relieving devices. vibratory mechanical stimulation of the skin simultaneously with or just before hair removal.
  • epilators comprising devices for vibratory stimulation of the skin have been proposed in documents such as EP 0 493 849, in which a vibrating grid covers the depilation means, or in EP 0 760 219 where the housing of the apparatus comprises a vibrating frame or additional vibrating rollers, the frame or the rollers being arranged next to the gripper roll.
  • These vibrator means have the main disadvantages of masking the area to be depilated and complex mechanisms and therefore unreliable for their training.
  • WO 97/19613 describes an epilator comprising a comb or a hand with flexible pins, mounted vibrating on the housing, outside the gripper roll.
  • flexible pins do not stimulate the skin in a very effective way, this solution requiring, in addition, a vibration mechanism even more sophisticated, so complex.
  • a rotary pliers epilator comprising a series of movable casters pushed radially by the centrifugal force and / or by springs, casters which apply mechanical impulses on the skin in order to camouflage the pain caused. by the pulling of the hairs.
  • a device with movable pins is alternatively arranged next to the depilatory head, the pins performing a rapid repetition stroke perpendicular to the skin to reduce pain.
  • the document EP 0 861 615 describes a device with tweezers with oscillating forceps, comprising means for stretching the skin and releasing it periodically. These means are in the form of two tension bars, at least one penetrates into the skin to a certain depth, in a movement perpendicular to the latter, to stretch the skin area between said bars. This has the effect of mechanically stimulating the skin on only part of the period of oscillation of the head.
  • the document FR-0008272 in the name of the applicant describes a depilatory device comprising a movable pad driven in an alternative translation movement in the plane of the skin, in a direction perpendicular to that of movement of the apparatus.
  • a friction massage action is performed on the skin during the epilation operation, which has the effect of calming, soothe the pain felt throughout this operation.
  • the described movement of back and forth in a direction tangential to the skin confers a good excitatory effect surface skin receptors, but it does not excite the pressure receptors, the painful effect by massage on the surface of the skin is therefore not sufficiently effective.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a tweezer with pulling forceps comprising a pain device for acting mechanically on the area to be epilated throughout the epilation and stimulating operation Effectively the surface and deep skin mechanoreceptors so as to generate a sensory flow antalgic the largest possible.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a depilatory device comprising a pain device which is effective, simple structure, reliable and economical to achieve.
  • a depilatory device comprising a housing which encloses an electric motor for driving a tweezers head constituted by at least one tear-off pliers and comprising a device intended to reduce the pain felt during treatment. depilation, said device being arranged next to the depilatory head and comprising at least one lug protruding relative to the plane of the skin, because said lug is driven in a rotational movement about an axis substantially perpendicular to the plane of the skin while the vertex of the ergot performs a rubbing massage of a predetermined amplitude on the skin.
  • the amplitude of the movement is determined by the radius described by the vertex of the lug rotating around its axis of rotation.
  • the amplitude of this motion therefore defines the stimulated skin surface that is directly proportional to the sensory flow generated. We thus obtain a tangential stimulation and at the same time penetrating gradually, without hurting the skin.
  • the moving ergot thus excites the two categories of receptors present in the dermis: fast adapting surface skin mechanoreceptors, or Meissner corpuscles receptive to stimulation on the surface of the skin, as well as deep cutaneous mechanoreceptors. , slow adaptation that respond to the pressures exerted on the skin, called the corpuscles of Paccini.

  • deep cutaneous mechanoreceptors slow adaptation that respond to the pressures exerted on the skin
  • the corpuscles of Paccini slow adaptation that respond to the pressures exerted on the skin
  • the pain device comprising a protuberant pin rotated is always in contact with the skin.
  • it acts throughout the hair removal operation, being able to reduce the pain felt before, during or after the pulling of the hair.
  • the rotational movement is continuous, without changing the direction of rotation.
  • this rotational movement is performed alternately, in one direction and then in the other, but always keeping contact with the skin.
  • a massage performed in a plane parallel to that of the skin is felt by the user as being more pleasant than an intermittent strike performed perpendicularly to the skin.
  • the movable pin is protruding relative to the plane of the skin, it can penetrate into the skin and drag it gradually in displacement thereby increasing the initial effect due to the friction massage.
  • the intensity of the massage is a function of the roughness of the surface and the hardness of the material of which said pin is made. It is thus easy to vary the intensity of the massage, in particular as a function of the sensitivity of the person using the apparatus provided with such a pain device, by replacing one initial lug with another, the latter being thus advantageously removable relative to its support.
  • a massage fluid for example an oil, a grease, an ointment, and that is coated on the skin area subjected to treatment.
  • said device comprises at least two lugs arranged side by side in an elongate zone substantially covering the length of the tweezers.
  • the depilatory head carrying tearing tongs may be constituted by a roller supporting blades or disks arranged in pairs, side by side on the longitudinal axis of the roller, the latter being able to be driven in a rotational movement or oscillating around of its longitudinal axis.

  • the lugs may be arranged along a straight line, helical or staggered, or in any desired arrangement to better cover the length of the hair removal zone. It has been shown that the importance of the sensory flow is also a function of the stimulated surface of the skin, so that several side-by-side lugs cover more surface and stimulate the treated skin better. It is also conceivable to arrange several lugs in parallel rows or, at the limit, to cover a certain surface of a certain shape: rectangular, oval, etc. by inserting a sufficient number of movable lugs operating within a predefined perimeter.
  • two adjacent pins are rotated in opposite directions.
  • said device comprises a protective cover through which protrudes said lug, said lid defining with the periphery of the epilation head a skin passage plane.
  • This protective cover bears on the skin and prevents the skin and / or the bristles from penetrating inside the drive mechanism of the mobile lug (s). It can be arranged on one side of the depilatory head or on the periphery of the latter, also to guide the device in its movement on the skin. Said lid can be pivotally mounted relative to the epilation head or mounted fixed relative to the latter, to better follow the reliefs of the skin.

  • a vertical lug but mounted on an inclined axis of rotation of the drive gear.
  • said disk is actuated by a toothed wheel receiving the movement of a neighboring wheel supporting a pin or it is actuated directly by a drive motor.
  • This solution has the advantage of being able to transmit the torque of a driving member to the driven member or rotating disc in a simple and reliable manner, while obtaining the necessary value for the speed of rotation of the driven member, because the frequency massage is directly proportional to the speed of rotation of the rotating disc.
  • the movement of the movable disk is obtained from a motor disk or driving wheel, a gear train, or even by meshing with a neighboring toothed wheel.
