Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shaver with at least one rotating flexible Tape having a plurality of cutting edges and that in a cutting section is guided in a guide channel, and the further of a motor is driven in the longitudinal direction.
  • shavers have become known, the circulating flexible band which is driven by a motor.
  • the tape is in a cutting section, this is the range of intended use on the guided to shaving skin, guided in a guide channel.
  • This Guide channel has the task of the tape down and in the lateral direction to hold and partially cover at the top, so that the cutting of the Bandes are exposed only in recesses of the upper cover and one Skin injury is avoided.
  • Such solutions are for example in the No. 4,110,905 A, US Pat. No. 3,381,374 A or US Pat. No. 3,596,353 A.
  • US 4,110,905 A shows a razor with an endless revolving Tape that has the required cutting edges.
  • the tape is from an engine driven in the shaver's housing and is powered by two pulleys guided, between which a cutting section is provided. Within the Cutting section, the tape is guided in a guide channel.
  • the structural Unit consisting of the guide channel and the pulleys, is in the housing the shaver mounted resiliently. In this way, a certain Adaptation of the cutting section to the changing facial contour achieved become. An adaptation to the curvature of the skin surface to be worked is not possible with such a solution.
  • Object of the present invention is to avoid these disadvantages and a To create a shaver that allows a careful shave in a short time and has a simple structure.
  • this object is achieved in that the guide channel in Course of the cutting section is flexible.
  • the tape can in the area intended for shaving, optimally to the respective curvature Adjust the skin section to be shaved. That's how it generally stands the entire cutting section in direct contact with the skin, thereby An optimal shave is achieved everywhere. The duration of the shave can thereby be significantly reduced.
  • Essential to the invention is that not only cutting section and guide channel are movably or resiliently mounted in the housing, but that the Guide channel is flexible, that is, can bend and thereby adapt can be reached to the respective skin curvature.
  • the guide channel from a rest position in a working position is extendable.
  • a small size achieved but on the other hand, it is possible, a large variability of the guide channel to achieve.
  • the Guide channel on an elastic, preferably a pneumatic element is stored.
  • the pneumatic element inflatable for example via a small air pump is that is powered by the engine.
  • about the pressure in the pneumatic Element may also be the rigidity of the guide channel according to the respective needs be set.
  • the guide channel on extendable Supports is preferably resiliently mounted. This can be a robust and reliable device can be realized.
  • a structurally particularly favorable solution provides that the clamping device the extension of the guide channel from the rest position to the working position and the retraction of the guide channel from the working position to the rest position controls. So the tension of the guide channel can be simultaneous with the movement the extension and retraction are solved in a structurally simple manner.
  • a particularly space-saving solution is achieved when the clamping device is constructed of pulleys, which essentially via a screw are displaceable transversely to the longitudinal direction of the guide channel. It is in the Sense of simplification particularly favorable when the clamping device of the same Motor is driven like the band.
  • a disorder due to excessive pollution can be done in a safe way prevents the tape is substantially completely encapsulated.
  • a favorable drive system can be realized if the belt has a toothing has, which engages in a motor-driven pinion.
  • the life of the tape can practically be doubled if the band has cutting in both directions and in both directions is drivable.
  • an extendable long hair trimmer preferably driven by the same engine as the band.
  • This can be a simple design with extended functionality can be achieved. Especially can by using the same screw as for the clamping device a simplification can be achieved.
  • the razor according to the invention consists of a housing 1 with a display and control panel 2.
  • a guide channel 3 is arranged, which at the upper side of the housing emerges from this to the cutting section. 4 to build.
  • the guide channel 3 is around pulleys 5 deflected, which are mounted in brackets 6, which supports 6 of a Bridge 7 are resiliently worn.
  • the bridge 7 is on a screw 7a stored, which is driven by a first bevel gear 8.
  • the first bevel gear 8 is engaged with another bevel gear 9 driven by a motor 10 becomes.
  • the motor 10 further drives a spur gear 11, with two parallel mutually arranged bands 12 is engaged in the guide channel 3 are guided.
  • the guide channel 3 is of several telescopic extendable supports 13 supported, each of a compression spring 14th are biased in the extended position.
  • Sealing elements-21 prevent the ingress of moisture, dirt or Foreign bodies inside the housing 1.
  • Fig. 4 shows the extended Position, which is also the working position for the shave. If The shaver is pressed against the skin, then depending on the exerted Compressive force of some of the extendable supports 13 compressed and optionally some other supports 13 will continue to extend, the Voltage of the guide channel 3 is substantially maintained.
  • a long-hair trimmer 30 is slidably disposed in the vertical direction, wherein the drive is made by a nut 31, which is the same screw 7a is engaged like the bridge 7. Only the direction of the turns is different, so that the nut 31 always moves in opposite directions to the bridge 7.
  • Fig. 6 shows a plan view of a portion of the guide channel 3, wherein the upper portion in Fig. 6 corresponds to the cutting portion 4, while the lower Part of the guide channel inside the housing 1 represents.
  • the bands 12 are arranged parallel to each other, outside the Cutting section 4 completely inside according to the recesses of the guide channel 3 are arranged.
  • the bands 12 have at their two Edges projections 15 which are provided with circumferential cutting edges, so that regardless of the direction of the respective tape 12 a cut done can.
  • the bands In the middle region, the bands have 12 recesses 16, the are also bounded on both sides by cutting edges.
  • the bands have 12 Furthermore, on its underside a toothing 17, which is intended to be with the End edge 11 to be engaged.
  • the bands 12 are each of a cover plate Covered 18, the inclined openings 19, through the can penetrate the hair to be cut.
  • Retaining tabs 20 serve to anchor the cover plates 18 on the guide channel 3.
  • the retaining tabs 20 of the cover plates 18 of the two bands 12 are offset from one another to ensure that all longer hairs are reliably detected.
  • Fig. 10 an alternative embodiment of the invention is shown.
  • the pneumatic element 50 can be permanently filled with gas, For example, air, be filled or from a vented rest position Inflation be brought into a working position.
  • gas For example, air
  • Inflation be brought into a working position.
  • the pneumatic element 50 in the sense of deform with a broken line 51 indicated curve and so optimally adapt to the respective skin contours.
