Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Rasierapparat mit einem Gehäuse, in welchem ein elektrischer Antrieb für Schneidmesser eines Scherkopfes angeordnet ist, und mit einem Scherkopfrahmen, welcher von einer ersten Rasteinrichtung in einer an das Gehäuse anliegenden Stellung gehalten und nach Freigabe durch die erste Rasteinrichtung relativ zu den Schneidmessern in eine von dem Gehäuse beabstandete Stellung gegen einen Anschlag bewegbar ist.The invention relates to an electric shaver with a housing in which an electric drive for cutting blades a shaving head is arranged, and with a shaving head frame, which of a first locking device in a held the housing adjacent position and after release by the first latching device relative to the cutting blades in a spaced from the housing position against a stop is movable.

Ein derartiger Rasierapparat ist beispielsweise aus der US 4,631,825 bekannt geworden. Bei diesem bekannten Rasierapparat ist ein äußerer Messerrahmen an dem oberen Ende des Rasierers derart angebracht, dass er um eine beschränkte Entfernung parallel von dem oberen Ende des äußeren Gehäuses weg bewegbar ist und zwar in Ansprechung auf das Niederdrücken eines Paars von lösbaren Druckknöpfen, die auf beziehungsweise in entgegengesetzten Seiten des äußeren Gehäuses angebracht sind. Als Ergebnis dieser Bewegung des äußeren Messerrahmens relativ zu dem äußeren Gehäuse wird ein Spalt zwischen dem äußeren Messerrahmen und dem oberen Ende des äußeren Gehäuses ausgebildet, sodass Rasierrückstände, die sich um ein inneres Messerteil sowie an diesem angesammelt haben, beim Waschen des Rasierers in Wasser vollständig durch den Spalt entfernt werden können.Such a razor is for example from the US 4,631,825 become known. In this known shaver is an outer knife frame at the top of the razor mounted so as to be at a limited distance movable parallel from the upper end of the outer housing is in response to the depression of a pair of releasable snaps on or in opposite Sides of the outer housing are attached. When Result of this movement of the outer cutter frame relative to the outer housing becomes a gap between the outer Knife frame and the upper end of the outer housing formed, so that shaving residues that are around an inner Knife part as well as accumulated at this, while washing the Razor in water to be completely removed through the gap can.

Ein weiterer waschbarer elektrischer Rasierapparat ist aus der JP 58-29479 bekannt geworden, bei welchem ein Scherkopfrahmen mit Hilfe eines Gelenkes an einer Seite des Gehäuses angelenkt ist, sodass er in eine offene Position verschwenkt werden kann. Auf diese Art und Weise wird das innere Schneidmesser freigelegt, wobei das freigelegte Schneidmesser in Wasser eingetaucht und im Wasser zu oszillierender Bewegung angetrieben wird, damit Rasierrückstände, die sich auf demselben und um dasselbe herum angesammelt haben, entfernt werden können.Another washable electric razor is from the JP 58-29479, in which a shaving head frame articulated by means of a hinge on one side of the housing is so that it can be pivoted to an open position. In this way, the inner cutter is exposed, with the exposed cutting knife immersed in water and driven in the water to oscillating motion shaving remnants that are on the same and around it accumulated around, can be removed.

Die Möglichkeit der Nassreinigung von elektrischen Rasierapparaten gewährleistet jedoch nicht, dass der Haarstaub mit Sicherheit vollständig entfernt wird und es ist viel mehr zu beobachten, dass die verbleibenden Haarreste durch die Einwirkung des Wassers aufquellen und dass in der Folge, aufgrund der Feuchtigkeit, vermehrt Keime gebildet werden und unangenehme Gerüche entstehen. Es ist daher weiterhin weit verbreitet, elektrische Rasierapparate trocken zu reinigen, zu welchem Zweck der Scherkopfrahmen vollständig abgenommen werden muss, um die einzelnen Teile des Schneidsystems anschließend von Hand unter zu Hilfenahme einer Bürste oder eines Pinsels zu reinigen. Konventionelle Rasierapparate sind jedoch entweder für die Nassreinigung oder für die Trockenreinigung ausgelegt, und es ist daher nicht ohne weiteres möglich, dass der Endverbraucher mit ein- und demselben Rasierapparat nach seinem Wunsch entweder eine Nassreinigung oder eine Trockenreinigung durchführt.The possibility of wet cleaning of electric shavers however, does not guarantee that the hair dust with Safety is completely removed and it is much more to it Watch that the remaining hair remains through the impact of the water swell and that in consequence, due The moisture increases, germs are formed and unpleasant Odors are created. It is therefore still widely used electrical To clean shavers dry, for what purpose Shaving head frame must be completely removed to the individual parts of the cutting system then under hand to clean with the help of a brush or a brush. However, conventional shavers are either for wet cleaning or designed for dry cleaning, and it is Therefore, not readily possible that the end user with one or the same shaver at his request either performs a wet cleaning or a dry cleaning.

Die vorliegende Erfindung zielt nun darauf ab, einen elektrischen Rasierapparat zu schaffen, welcher den Endverbraucher hinsichtlich der Art der Reinigung in keiner Weise einschränkt und welcher alternativ in einfacher Art und Weise sowohl eine Nass- als auch ein Trockenreinigung zulässt. Die Bedienbarkeit des Rasierapparates bei der Reinigung soll möglichst einfach gestaltet sein, wobei eine größtmögliche Flexibilität gewährleistet sein soll. Zu diesem Zweck ist der elektrische Rasierapparat der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß derart ausgebildet, dass eine zweite Rasteinrichtung vorgesehen ist, durch deren Freigabe der Scherkopfrahmen unabhängig von der von der ersten Rasteinrichtung freigegebenen Lage des Scherkopfrahmens gesondert abnehmbar ist.The present invention now aims to provide an electrical To create a razor, which the end user in no way limits the nature of the cleaning and which alternatively, in a simple manner, both Wet and dry cleaning permits. The operability The shaver during cleaning should be as simple as possible with maximum flexibility should be. For this purpose, the electric shaver of the aforementioned type according to the invention designed such that a second locking device is provided by their release of the shaving head frame regardless of the of the first latching device released position of the shaving head frame is separately removable.

Dadurch, dass nun zusätzlich zur einer ersten Rasteinrichtung, durch deren Freigabe der Scherkopfrahmen in eine von dem Gehäuse beabstandete Stellung gegen einen Anschlag bewegbar ist, eine zweite Rasteinrichtung vorgesehen ist, durch deren Freigabe der Scherkopfrahmen unabhängig von der von der ersten Rasteinrichtung freigegebenen Lage des Scherkopfrahmens gesondert abnehmbar ist, kann nach Wahl des Benutzers eine Nass- oder eine Trockenreinigung des Rasierapparates vorgenommen werden. Für die Zwecke einer Nassreinigung wird lediglich die erste Rasteinrichtung betätigt, sodass in einer dem Stand der Technik entsprechenden Weise der Scherkopfrahmen in eine zum Gehäuse beabstandete Stellung gelangt und in dieser Stellung von einem Anschlag gehalten wird, wobei als Ergebnis dieser Bewegung zwischen dem Scherkopfrahmen und dem Gehäuse beispielsweise ein Spalt ausgebildet wird, sodass Rasierrückstände mittels Wasser ausgewaschen werden können. Für die Zwecke der Trockenreinigung hingegen wird lediglich die zweite Rasteinrichtung betätigt, wodurch der Scherkopfrahmen vollständig freigegeben und abgenommen werden kann und auf diese Art und Weise die Schneidmesser freigelegt und mit Hilfe einer Bürste oder eines Pinsels gereinigt werden können. Eine Betätigung der zweiten Rastein-richtung und vollständige Abnahme des Scherkopfrahmens ist erfindungsgemäß unabhängig von der von der ersten Rasteinrichtung freigegebenen Lage des Scherkopfrahmens möglich und daher sowohl ausgehend von einer Lage, in welcher der Scherkopfrahmen an das Gehäuse anliegt, als auch ausgehend von der die Nassreinigung ermöglichenden Lage, in welcher zwischen dem Scherkopfrahmen und dem Gehäuse beispielsweise ein Spalt ausgebildet ist, möglich. Insgesamt wird dadurch ein elektrischer Rasierapparat geschaffen, welcher eine größtmögliche Flexibilität hinsichtlich der Reinigungsmöglichkeiten bietet. Der Benutzer kann wahlweise nach Betätigung der ersten Rasteinrichtung eine Nassreinigung, nach Betätigung der zweiten Rasteinrichtung eine Trockenreinigung oder auch beides durchführen.In that, in addition to a first latching device, by releasing the shaving head frame into one of the housing spaced position is movable against a stop, a second locking device is provided by the release of the Shaving head frame independent of that of the first locking device released position of the shaving head frame separately removable is, at the option of the user, a wet or a Dry cleaning of the shaver can be made. For the Purpose of a wet cleaning is only the first locking device operated so that in a state of the art Way the shaving head frame in a spaced apart from the housing Position reaches and in this position of a stop being held, being as a result of this movement for example, between the shaving head frame and the housing Gap is formed so that shaving residues by means of water can be washed out. For the purpose of dry cleaning however, only the second locking device is actuated, whereby the shaving head frame completely released and removed can be and exposed in this way the cutting blades and cleaned with the help of a brush or a brush can be. An actuation of the second Rastein-direction and complete removal of the shaving head frame is according to the invention regardless of the shared by the first latch Position of the shaving head frame possible and therefore both starting from a layer in which the shaving head frame bears against the housing, as well as starting from the wet cleaning possible Location in which between the shaving head frame and the housing, for example, a gap is formed, possible. Overall, this creates an electric shaver, which offers the greatest possible flexibility the cleaning possibilities. The user can choose after actuation of the first latching device, a wet cleaning, after actuation of the second locking device, a dry cleaning or perform both.

Dass durch Freigabe der zweiten Rasteinrichtung der Scherkopfrahmen unabhängig von der von der ersten Rasteinrichtung freigegebenen Lage des Scherkopfrahmens gesondert abgenommen werden kann, wird gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausbildung in konstruktiv besonders einfacher Weise dadurch erreicht, dass die zweite Rasteinrichtung mit dem Scherkopfrahmen verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Die zweite Rasteinrichtung wird in diesem Fall gemeinsam mit dem Scherkopfrahmen bewegt und die Freigabe der zweiten Rasteinrichtung hat somit sowohl in der Grundstellung des Scherkopfrahmens als auch in der die Nassreinigung ermöglichenden Stellung des Scherkopfrahmens zur Folge, dass der Scherkopfrahmen vollständig abgenommen werden kann. In konstruktiv besonders bevorzugter Art und Weise ist die Ausbildung hierbei derart weitergebildet, dass die erste Rasteinrichtung von einer Stirnfläche bzw. Anlagefläche eines auf einem verschieblichen Schlitten angeordneten beweglichen Teils und einer mit dieser Stirnfläche bzw. Anlagefläche zusammenwirkenden Gegenanlagsfläche des Gehäuses gebildet ist und dass die zweite Rasteinrichtung von einer weiteren Stirnfläche bzw. Anlagefläche eines weiteren auf dem verschieblichen Schlitten angeordneten beweglichen Teils und einer mit dieser Stirnfläche bzw. Anlagefläche zusammenwirkenden Gegenanlagsfläche des Scherkopfrahmens gebildet ist. Bei dieser Ausbildung ist je eine Stirnfläche beziehungsweise Anlagefläche der ersten und der zweiten Rasteinrichtung auf einem verschieblichen Schlitten angeordnet, welcher somit eine Art Kupplungsglied zischen der ersten und der zweiten Rasteinrichtung darstellt.That by releasing the second locking device of the shaving head frame regardless of that of the first latch released position of the shaving head frame separately removed can be in accordance with a preferred training in constructive particularly simple manner achieved by the second latching device slidably disposed with the shaving head frame is. The second locking device is in this case moved together with the shaving head frame and release the second locking device thus has both in the normal position the shaving head frame as well as in the wet cleaning enabling Position of the shaving head frame with the result that the shaving head frame can be completely removed. In constructive Particularly preferred way is the training here developed such that the first locking device of a End face or contact surface of a sliding on a Slide arranged moving part and one with this End face or contact surface cooperating counter contact surface of the housing is formed and that the second locking device from a further end face or contact surface of a another arranged on the sliding carriage movable Part and one with this face or contact surface interacting abutment surface of the shaving head frame is formed. In this training is ever an end face or contact surface of the first and second locking device arranged on a sliding carriage, which thus a kind of coupling member hiss the first and the second Locking device represents.

In bevorzugter Weise ist die Ausbildung derart weitergebildet, dass die mit der Anlagefläche des Gehäuses zusammenwirkende Anlagefläche des Schlittens an einem Federelement, vorzugsweise einem Federarm, ausgebildet ist, welcher von einem Betätigungsknopf betätigbar ist, wobei bevorzugt die mit der Anlagefläche des Scherkopfrahmens zusammenwirkende Anlagefläche des Schlittens an einer federnden Rastnase ausgebildet ist. Der verschiebbare Schlitten trägt somit zwei Federelemente, an welchen jeweils ein Anschlag einer Rasteinrichtung ausgebildet ist und welche von einem Betätigungselement betätigt werden können, sodass insgesamt auf einem einzigen Bauteil, nämlich dem verschieblichen Schlitten, eine maximale Anzahl an Funktionen realisiert wird und die Anzahl der Bauteile und damit verbunden die Produktionskosten gesenkt werden können. Bevorzugt ist in diesem Zusammenhang die Rastnase an einem federnden und mit einem Kopfentrieglungsknopf ausgestatteten Arm ausgebildet.Preferably, the training is developed in such a way that cooperating with the abutment surface of the housing Contact surface of the carriage on a spring element, preferably a spring arm, which is formed by an actuating button is operable, preferably with the contact surface the shear head frame cooperating contact surface of the carriage is formed on a resilient locking lug. The movable one Carriage thus carries two spring elements to which in each case a stop of a latching device is formed and which can be actuated by an actuator, so that on a single component, namely the displaceable Sled, a maximum number of functions is realized and the number of components and related the production costs can be lowered. Preferred is in In this context, the locking lug on a resilient and with formed a Kopfentrieglungsknopf equipped arm.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Rasierapparates ist der Scherkopfrahmen beziehungsweise der verschiebliche Schlitten von wenigstens einer im Gehäuse abgestützten Druckfeder beaufschlagt. Auf diese Art und Weise erfolgt ein automatisches Ausfahren des Scherkopfrahmens relativ zum Gehäuse, sobald die erste Rasteinrichtung freigegeben ist. Zusätzlich kann bevorzugt der Druckfeder ein Dämpfelement, vorzugsweise ein Öldämpfer, zugeordnet sein, wodurch die erwähnte Auswärtsbewegung des Scherkopfrahmens relativ zum Gehäuse kontrolliert und nicht ruckartig erfolgt.According to another preferred embodiment of the invention Shaver is the shaving head frame respectively the sliding carriage of at least one supported in the housing Compressed spring applied. Done this way an automatic extension of the shaving head frame relative to the housing as soon as the first latching device is released. In addition, the compression spring may preferably have a damping element, preferably an oil damper, be assigned, whereby the mentioned Outward movement of the shaving head frame relative to the housing controlled and not jerky.

Insgesamt ist bevorzugt jeweils eine erste und eine zweite Rasteinrichtung an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Rasierapparates angeordnet. Dadurch erfolgt automatisch eine parallele Bewegung des Scherkopfrahmens relativ zum Gehäuse unter Ausbildung eines Spaltes in welches für die Zwecke der Nassreinigung Wasser eingeführt wird.Overall, a first and a second latching device are preferred on two opposite sides of the shaver arranged. This automatically results in a parallel Movement of the shaving head frame relative to the housing under training a gap in which for the purpose of wet cleaning Water is introduced.
