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 blade of a shaving head is arranged, and with a shaving head frame, which held by a first latching device in a voltage applied to the housing position and after release by the first latching device relative to the Cutting knives is movable in a position spaced from the housing position against a stop.

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 known. In this known razor, an outer cutter frame is attached to the upper end of the razor so as to be movable in parallel from the upper end of the outer housing by a limited distance in response to the depression of a pair of releasable pushbuttons facing respectively are mounted in opposite sides of the outer housing. As a result of this movement of the outer knife frame relative to the outer housing, a gap is formed between the outer knife frame and the upper end of the outer housing so that shaving debris accumulated around and on an inner knife portion is completely rinsed out by washing the shaver in water can be removed through the gap.

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 become known, in which a shaving head frame is articulated by means of a hinge on one side of the housing, so that it can be pivoted to an open position. In this way, the inner cutter is exposed, with the exposed cutter being submerged in water and driven in oscillating motion in the water to remove shaving debris that has accumulated on and around it.

Ein elektrischer Rasierapparat gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 ist bekannt aus der US-A-2001/0003870 .An electric shaver according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US-A-2001/0003870 ,

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.However, the possibility of wet cleaning electric razors does not ensure that the hair dust with Safety is completely removed and it is much more noticeable that the remaining hair remains swell by the action of the water and that as a result, due to the moisture, more germs are formed and unpleasant odors arise. It is therefore still widely used to dry clean electric shavers, for which purpose the shaving head frame must be completely removed to then clean the individual parts of the cutting system by hand with the help of a brush or a brush. However, conventional razors are designed for either wet cleaning or dry cleaning, and it is therefore not readily possible for the end user to perform either wet cleaning or dry cleaning with one and the same shaver as desired.

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 electric shaver which does not restrict the end user in terms of the nature of the cleaning in any way and which alternatively allows both a wet and a dry cleaning in a simple manner. The operability of the shaver during cleaning should be as simple as possible, with the greatest possible flexibility should be ensured. For this purpose, the electric shaver of the type mentioned is inventively designed such that a second locking device is provided by the release of the shaving head frame is independent of the released from the first locking device position of the shaving head frame 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.Characterized in that in addition to a first latching device, by the release of the shaving head frame is movable in a spaced position from the housing against a stop, a second locking device is provided by the release of the shaving head frame independent of the released by the first locking device position of the shaving head frame is separately removable, a wet or a dry cleaning of the shaver can be made at the option of the user. For the For purposes of wet cleaning, only the first latch means is actuated such that, in a prior art manner, the shaving head frame comes into a spaced position from the housing and is held in this position by a stop, as a result of this movement between the shaving head frame and the housing, for example a gap is formed so that shaving residues can be washed out by means of water. For the purpose of dry cleaning, however, only the second locking device is actuated, whereby the shaving head frame can be fully released and removed and in this way the cutting blades can be exposed and cleaned by means of a brush or a brush. An actuation of the second Rastein direction and complete removal of the shaving head frame according to the invention is independent of the released by the first locking device position of the shaving head frame possible and therefore both starting from a position in which the shaving head frame abuts the housing, and starting from the wet cleaning enabling position in which, for example, a gap is formed between the shaving head frame and the housing possible. Overall, this creates an electric shaver, which offers the greatest possible flexibility in terms of cleaning options. The user can optionally carry out a wet cleaning after actuation of the first latching device, a dry cleaning or even both after actuation of the second latching device.

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 can be removed separately by releasing the second locking device of the shaving head frame independently of the released by the first locking device position of the shaving head frame is achieved according to a preferred embodiment in a structurally particularly simple manner that the second locking device is slidably disposed with the shaving head frame. The second locking device is moved in this case together with the shaving head frame and the release of the second locking device thus has both in the basic position of 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 a structurally particularly preferred manner, the embodiment is developed such that the first latching device is formed by an end face or contact surface of a movable slide arranged on a movable part and a cooperating with this end face or contact surface Gegenanlagsfläche of the housing and that the second Locking device is formed by a further end face or contact surface of a further movable part arranged on the displaceable slide and a counter-contact face of the shaving head frame cooperating with this end face or contact surface. In this embodiment, each an end face or contact surface of the first and the second locking device is arranged on a sliding carriage, which thus represents a kind of coupling member hiss of the first and the second locking device.

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 such that the cooperating with the contact surface of the housing bearing surface of the carriage on a spring element, preferably a spring arm is formed, which is actuated by an actuating button, wherein preferably cooperating with the contact surface of the shaving head frame contact surface of the carriage is formed on a resilient locking lug. The displaceable carriage thus carries two spring elements, on each of which a stop of a locking device is formed and which can be actuated by an actuating element, so that a total of a single component, namely the sliding carriage, a maximum number of functions is realized and the number of components and associated with that the production costs can be lowered. Preferably, in this context, the locking lug on a resilient and equipped with a Kopfentrieglungsknopf arm is formed.

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 a further preferred embodiment of the shaving apparatus according to the invention, the shaving head frame or the displaceable slide acted upon by at least one pressure spring supported in the housing. In this way, an automatic extension of the shaving head frame relative to the housing takes place as soon as the first locking device is released. In addition, the compression spring may preferably be associated with a damping element, preferably an oil damper, whereby the mentioned outward movement of the shaving head frame is controlled relative to the housing and does not take place jerkily.

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 preferably arranged on two opposite sides of the shaver. This automatically causes a parallel movement of the shaving head frame relative to the housing to form a gap in which for the purpose of wet cleaning water is introduced.

In Fig.2 ist der Rasierapparat in der Grundstellung dargestellt, in welcher der Scherkopfrahmen 3 an das Gehäuse 1 anliegt. In Fig.3 ist die zugehörige Schnittansicht dargestellt, wobei beispielsweise eine Energieversorgungseinheit 10, eine Antriebseinheit 11, sowie eine aus der Ebene des Gehäuses 1 ausklappbare Trimmereinheit 12 ersichtlich ist.In Fig.2 the razor is shown in the basic position, in which the shaving head frame 3 rests against the housing 1. In Figure 3 the corresponding sectional view is shown, wherein, for example, a power supply unit 10, a drive unit 11, as well as a trimmable from the plane of the housing 1 trimmer unit 12 can be seen.

In Fig.4 sind in der Teilschnittansicht nun die einzelnen Rasteinrichtungen näher dargestellt. Die erste Rasteinrichtung wird von dem Betätigungsknopf 7 betätigt, wobei der Betätigungsknopf 7 auf einen auf dem Schlitten 13 ausgebildeten Federarm 14 wirkt. An dem Federarm 14 ist eine Anlagefläche ausgebildet, welche mit einer Gegenanlagefläche 15 des Gehäuses 1 zusammenwirkt. Bei Betätigung des Betätigungsknopfes 7 wird der Federarm 14 einwärts gedrückt, wobei die am Federarm 14 ausgebildete Anlagefläche außer Eingriff mit der Gegenanlagefläche 15 des Gehäuses 1 gelangt, sodass der Schlitten 13 durch die Kraft einer Feder 16 in Richtung des Pfeiles 17 auswärts bewegt wird. Mit dem Schlitten 13 ist nun die zweite Rasteinrichtung verbunden, welche den Schlitten 13 mit dem Scherkopfrahmen 3 verbindet. Zu diesem Zweck weist der Schlitten 13 eine federnde Rastnase 18 auf, deren Anlagefläche mit einer Gegenanlagefläche 19 des Scherkopfrahmens zusammenwirkt. Im eingerasteten Zustand der zweiten Rasteinrichtung bewirkt eine Auswärtsbewegung des Schlittens 13 eine entsprechende Auswärtsbewegung des Scherkopfrahmens in Richtung des Pfeiles 17. Die zweite Rasteinrichtung kann durch Betätigung des Kopfentrieglungsknopfes 8 freigegeben werden, wobei die federnde Rastnase einwärts verschwenkt wird und außer Eingriff mit der Gegenanschlagfläche 19 des Scherkopfrahmens 3 gelangt. In diesem Zustand kann der Scherkopfrahmen 3 vollständig abgenommen werden.In Figure 4 are in the partial sectional view now the individual locking devices shown in more detail. The first latching device is actuated by the actuating button 7, the actuating button 7 acting on a spring 13 formed on the carriage 14. On the spring arm 14, a contact surface is formed, which cooperates with a counter-bearing surface 15 of the housing 1. Upon actuation of the operating knob 7, the spring arm 14 is pressed inwardly, wherein the contact surface formed on the spring arm 14 out of engagement with the counter-contact surface 15 of the housing 1 passes, so that the carriage 13 is moved by the force of a spring 16 in the direction of the arrow 17 away. With the carriage 13, the second locking device is now connected, which connects the carriage 13 with the shaving head frame 3. For this purpose, the carriage 13 on a resilient detent 18, the contact surface cooperates with a counter-bearing surface 19 of the shaving head frame. In the locked state of the second locking device causes an outward movement of the carriage 13 a corresponding outward movement of the shaving head frame in the direction of arrow 17. The second locking device can be released by pressing the Kopfentrieglungsknopfes 8, wherein the resilient detent is pivoted inwardly and out of engagement with the counter-abutment surface 19 of Scherkopfrahmens 3 passes. In this state, the shaving head frame 3 can be completely removed.

In Fig.5 ist die erste Rasteinrichtung in der freigegebenen Lage dargestellt und der Scherkopfrahmen 3 in einer zum Gehäuse 1 beabstandeten Stellung angeordnet. Die an dem Federarm 14 ausgebildete Anschlagfläche ist mit 20 bezeichnet. Es ist ersichtlich, dass in der freigegebenen Stellung der ersten Rasteinrichtung, in welcher der Schlitten 13, an welchem der Federarm 14 ausgebildet ist, in Richtung des Pfeiles 17 auswärts verschoben wurde, auch die von der Rastnase 18 und dem zugehörigen Gegenanschlag 19 des Scherkopfrahmens 3 gebildete zweite Rasteinrichtung auswärts verschoben wurde. Der Schlitten 13 bildet hierbei eine Art Kupplungsglied zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Rasteinrichtung, wobei die Rastnase 18 der zweiten Rasteinrichtung an einem federnden und mit dem Kopfentrieglungsknopf 8 ausgestattetem Arm 21 ausgebildet ist, welcher um die Achse 22 schwenkbar mit dem Schlitten 13 verbunden ist.In Figure 5 the first latching device is shown in the released position and the shaving head frame 3 is arranged in a position spaced from the housing 1. The formed on the spring arm 14 stop surface is designated 20. It is obvious that in the released position of the first latching device, in which the carriage 13, on which the spring arm 14 is formed, has been moved outwardly in the direction of arrow 17, and the second latching device formed by the latching lug 18 and the associated counter-stop 19 of the shaving head frame 3 away was moved. The carriage 13 in this case forms a kind of coupling member between the first and the second latching device, wherein the latching lug 18 of the second latching device is formed on a resilient and equipped with the Kopfentrieglungsknopf 8 arm 21 which is pivotally connected to the carriage 13 about the axis 13.

Insgesamt ist ersichtlich, dass die erste und die zweite Rasteinrichtung unabhängig voneinander betätigt werden können, sodass eine gesonderte und vollständige Abnahme des Scherkopfrahmens 3 nach Freigabe der zweiten Rasteinrichtung durch Betätigung des Kopfentriegelungsknopfes 8 und unabhängig davon eine Auswärtsverschiebung des Scherkopfrahmens (3) gegen einen Anschlag nach Freigabe der ersten Rasteinrichtung durch Betätigung des Betätigungsknopfes 7 möglich ist.Overall, it can be seen that the first and the second locking device can be operated independently, so that a separate and complete removal of the shaving head frame 3 after release of the second locking device by pressing the Kopfentriegelungsknopfes 8 and regardless of an outward displacement of the shaving head frame (3) against a stop after Release of the first locking device by pressing the operating knob 7 is possible.
