Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tweezers of the type comprising a rotary cylinder with tongs intended to tear the superfluous hairs of the human body, and more particularly relates to such an apparatus comprising a hair removal head removably mounted relative to the housing of the 'apparatus.
- a plucking tweezers generally comprise blade or disc grippers disposed on a rotating barrel, the pliers being caused to close and open periodically to grip and tighten the bristles close to the barrel. the skin to tear them out by the rotation of the cylinder and then to evacuate the torn hairs before starting a new cycle of tearing.
- Such devices have the disadvantage that the torn hairs accumulate inside the roller which, in the long run, prevents the correct closing of the blades and thus impinges on the proper functioning of the device.
- the depilatory apparatus described in this document comprises a housing enclosing an electric motor for actuating a rotating roll with pinch disks and means able to periodically pinch, against these disks, hairs engaged between them, hair torn due to the rotation of the discs around the axis of the roll. Furthermore, there is provided, within the same housing, a second axis, parallel to that of the rotary roller and which supports cleaning discs or tufts of bristles, fixed or rotatable. These cleaning elements are provided for removing torn hairs engaged between the pinch discs to drive them into a compartment inside the apparatus. Thus, the bristles are still in the housing which must then be removed in order to remove the hair deposited.
- the depilatory device comprises a housing enclosing a motor and a transmission for driving the rotary cylinder with pinch elements.
- the rotating cylinder is part of the depilatory head which is separable from the housing for cleaning purposes.
- the locking and unlocking of the housing of the depilatory head with respect to the housing of the apparatus is done by means of two spring-loaded button tabs belonging to the housing of the tweezers, tongues which cooperate with hooks belonging to the housing of the depilatory device.
- the depilatory head has a closed housing and, when it is detached from the housing of the device, it is cleaned with a hand brush.
- Such a construction is both expensive, because many pieces of complex shapes are provided for the assembly of the tweezers with its housing which, it has a partition wall opposite the partition wall of the housing of the depilatory head.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a tweezers equipped with a tweezers head that can be easily cleaned, simply and easily for the person using it.
- Another object of the invention is an epilator of optimized design, capable of being industrialized for a reduced manufacturing cost, while being very reliable in operation.
- a tweezers having a manual gripper housing, enclosing an electric motor and a motor-driven transmission for rotating a pull-up rotary roller mounted in a holder of a head. depilatory, the support being removably mounted relative to the housing of the apparatus between a position where the tweezers receive the rotational movement of a transmission wheel of said transmission and another position where it is detached from the housing , because said support comprises two vertical uprights carrying the rotating roller connected by two spacers defining a passage revealing the roller below, said passage cooperating with the upper walls of the housing of the apparatus when said support is mounted on the latter of to define together a confined space for receiving the hair.
- the depilatory head therefore comprises a rotary roller with tear-off tongs mounted in a support:
- a removable support for a depilatory head or an exfoliation head, or a skin treatment head comprises a "skeletal" structure, it that is to say of structure formed of bars, beams, uprights and spacers connected together with a minimum of wall or sail, forming a surface between two beams, in order to use the bare minimum necessary material and especially to allow access to cleaning of the roll.
- the support of the rotary roller according to the present invention thus comprises two lateral vertical uprights which support the central axis of the roller (and on which the components of the roller are mounted) the uprights being connected in their lower part by one or more spacers, which leave appear the roll underneath.
- Such a support forms an open holding cage for the whole of the rotating roller, so that the roller and its support can be more easily cleaned, more particularly the lower cylindrical surface of the roller loaded with bristles which then becomes accessible also by underneath when the bracket is disengaged from the camera body.
- a rotating roller could even be cleaned by passing it under a stream of water or by immersing it in a basin containing cleaning or disinfecting liquid.
- the passage formed in the lower part of the support of the rotating roller, cooperates hermetically with the upper walls of the housing when it is mounted on said housing of the apparatus.

- the torn hairs are either released on the outside or dropped inside the head and in this case they accumulate in the space between the rotating roller and the housing of the apparatus.
- This space is a closed recovery space because the structure of the depilatory head, in particular that of the support of the rotating roller cooperates sealingly with the bristles with the upper walls of the housing, it is thus clear that the openings for the passage of the support are filled by the upper walls of the housing so as to define together a confined space for receiving the bristles, dissociated from the internal one, located in the lower part of the housing. This prevents access to the bristles inside the case and prolongs the life of the device.
- the bristles present in the upper part of the housing can be easily removed for example with a brush.
- said spacers are parallel, each spacer being aligned with the side walls of the housing and said passage is delimited by the inner edges of the spacers which cooperate with a central wall of said housing.
- the two spacers connect the two vertical uprights supporting the rotating roller and therefore they are parallel to the axis of the rotating roller.
- the spacers connect the two uprights at their periphery revealing an opening or a passage in the center. This passage then cooperates, preferably continuously, with a central wall located in the upper part of the housing. It is therefore understood that the inner edges of the spacers are extended by a central wall located in the same plane.
- the central wall of the housing then has a width substantially equal to the width of the opening defined by the spacing of the spacers and a length substantially equal to that of the opening and therefore to the length of the spacers of said support.
- each spacer has an inclined profile oriented towards said passage.
- the profile of the struts is then inclined towards the central passage to form a funnel for guiding the bristles which fall inside the head and are thus oriented towards the confined space defined with the central wall of the housing, without it there is accumulation of hair in the recesses of the support.
- said support is made of two removable parts.
- the removable parts are interconnected either on the longitudinal side of the spacers or at the junction between a vertical upright and a spacer. This facilitates the assembly of the support with the rotating roller and also the disassembly for even more careful cleaning.
- said central wall belongs to a locking device which connects the support to the housing of the apparatus.
- the roller support is connected to the housing of the apparatus by a locking device belonging to the latter.
- This device thus plays the dual role of sealing interface with the depilatory head and at the same time ensures a fixation of the latter with respect to the housing. This offers a compact and simplified construction, with fewer components and therefore more economical.
- said locking device comprises at least one locking element which cooperates with at least one coupling element of said support.
- the locking device allows a coupling of the depilatory head with respect to the housing of the apparatus and its transmission. It comprises a locking element belonging to the housing associated with a coupling element of the support, these elements being able to cooperate in order to provide easy coupling of the two assemblies as well as their quick disassembly by the user.
- said locking element is integral with said central wall.
- the central wall forming a sealed space with the spacers of the support of the rotating roller is therefore provided in the center of the opening defined by the two spacers. It is preferred to provide the lateral sides of this wall with one or more locking elements which then cooperate with coupling elements located in the lower part of the spacers. This optimizes the structure of the locking device, while preserving its sealing properties.

La présente invention est relative à un appareil à épiler du type comportant un cylindre rotatif à pinces destinées à arracher les poils superflus du corps humain, et elle concerne plus particulièrement un tel appareil comportant une tête d'épilation montée amovible par rapport au boîtier de l'appareil.The present invention relates to a tweezers of the type comprising a rotary cylinder with tongs intended to tear the superfluous hairs of the human body, and more particularly relates to such an apparatus comprising a hair removal head removably mounted relative to the housing of the 'apparatus.
Un appareil à épiler à pinces d'arrachage comporte en général des pinces sous forme de lames ou de disques disposés sur un cylindre rotatif, les pinces étant amenées à se fermer et s'ouvrir périodiquement de manière à saisir et serrer les poils à proximité de la peau pour les arracher de par la rotation du cylindre et ensuite à évacuer les poils arrachés avant de recommencer un nouveau cycle d'arrachage. De tels appareils présentent l'inconvénient que les poils arrachés s'accumulent à l'intérieur du rouleau ce qui, à terme, empêche la fermeture correcte des lames et empiète donc sur le bon fonctionnement de l'appareil.A plucking tweezers generally comprise blade or disc grippers disposed on a rotating barrel, the pliers being caused to close and open periodically to grip and tighten the bristles close to the barrel. the skin to tear them out by the rotation of the cylinder and then to evacuate the torn hairs before starting a new cycle of tearing. Such devices have the disadvantage that the torn hairs accumulate inside the roller which, in the long run, prevents the correct closing of the blades and thus impinges on the proper functioning of the device.
Pour pallier ce défaut, une solution a été décrite dans le document
Une autre solution a été décrite dans le document
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients précités et de fournir un appareil à épiler muni d'une tête à épiler qui puisse être facilement nettoyée, de manière simple et aisée pour la personne l'utilisant.The object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a tweezers equipped with a tweezers head that can be easily cleaned, simply and easily for the person using it.
Un autre but de l'invention est un appareil à épiler de conception optimisée, apte à être industrialisé pour un coût de fabrication réduit, tout en étant très fiable en fonctionnement.Another object of the invention is an epilator of optimized design, capable of being industrialized for a reduced manufacturing cost, while being very reliable in operation.
Ces buts sont atteints avec un appareil à épiler comportant un boîtier formant moyen de préhension manuelle, renfermant un moteur électrique et une transmission recevant le mouvement du moteur pour actionner en rotation un rouleau rotatif à pinces d'arrachage monté dans un support d'une tête à épiler, le support étant monté de manière amovible par rapport au boîtier de l'appareil entre une position où la tête à épiler reçoit le mouvement de rotation d'une roue de transmission de ladite transmission et une autre position où elle est désolidarisée du boîtier, du fait que ledit support comporte deux montants verticaux portant le rouleau rotatif reliés par deux entretoises définissant un passage laissant apparaître le rouleau en dessous, ledit passage coopérant avec les parois supérieures du boîtier de l'appareil lorsque ledit support est monté sur ce dernier de manière à définir ensemble un espace confiné de réception des poils.These objects are achieved with a tweezers having a manual gripper housing, enclosing an electric motor and a motor-driven transmission for rotating a pull-up rotary roller mounted in a holder of a head. depilatory, the support being removably mounted relative to the housing of the apparatus between a position where the tweezers receive the rotational movement of a transmission wheel of said transmission and another position where it is detached from the housing , because said support comprises two vertical uprights carrying the rotating roller connected by two spacers defining a passage revealing the roller below, said passage cooperating with the upper walls of the housing of the apparatus when said support is mounted on the latter of to define together a confined space for receiving the hair.
La tête à épiler comporte donc un rouleau rotatif à pinces d'arrachage monté dans un support: Un tel support amovible de tête à épiler ou de tête d'exfoliation, ou de traitement de la peau, comporte une structure "squelettique", c'est à dire de structure formée de barres, poutres, montants et entretoises reliés ensemble avec un minimum de paroi ou de voile, formant une surface entre deux poutres, afin d'utiliser le strict minimum de matière nécessaire et surtout pour permettre un accès au nettoyage du rouleau.The depilatory head therefore comprises a rotary roller with tear-off tongs mounted in a support: Such a removable support for a depilatory head or an exfoliation head, or a skin treatment head, comprises a "skeletal" structure, it that is to say of structure formed of bars, beams, uprights and spacers connected together with a minimum of wall or sail, forming a surface between two beams, in order to use the bare minimum necessary material and especially to allow access to cleaning of the roll.
Le support du rouleau rotatif selon la présente invention comporte ainsi deux montants verticaux latéraux qui supportent l'axe central du rouleau (et sur lequel sont montés les composants du rouleau) les montants étant reliés en leur partie inférieure par une ou plusieurs entretoises, qui laissent apparaître le rouleau en dessous. Un tel support forme une cage ouverte de maintien pour l'ensemble du rouleau rotatif, ce qui fait que le rouleau et son support peuvent être plus facilement nettoyés, plus particulièrement la surface cylindrique inférieure du rouleau chargé de poils qui devient alors accessible également par en dessous lorsque le support est désolidarisé du boîtier de l'appareil. De surcroît, un tel rouleau rotatif pourrait même être nettoyé en le faisant passer sous un jet d'eau ou en l'immergeant dans un bassin contenant du liquide nettoyant ou désinfectant.The support of the rotary roller according to the present invention thus comprises two lateral vertical uprights which support the central axis of the roller (and on which the components of the roller are mounted) the uprights being connected in their lower part by one or more spacers, which leave appear the roll underneath. Such a support forms an open holding cage for the whole of the rotating roller, so that the roller and its support can be more easily cleaned, more particularly the lower cylindrical surface of the roller loaded with bristles which then becomes accessible also by underneath when the bracket is disengaged from the camera body. In addition, such a rotating roller could even be cleaned by passing it under a stream of water or by immersing it in a basin containing cleaning or disinfecting liquid.
Plus particulièrement selon l'invention, le passage, formé en partie inférieure du support du rouleau rotatif, coopère de manière hermétique avec les parois supérieures du boîtier lorsqu'il est monté sur ledit boîtier de l'appareil. Par parois supérieures du boîtier de l'appareil, on comprend la partie supérieure des parois latérales ainsi que les parois frontales de séparation de la partie supérieure ouverte du boîtier par rapport à une partie inférieure fermée qui contient le moteur et la transmission. Une roue de transmission traverse toutefois, par un étroit passage, une paroi frontale en partie supérieure du boîtier et vient en prise avec un pignon de la tête à épiler pour l'entraînement du rouleau rotatif. De telles parois supérieures présentent donc des dimensions qui correspondent à celles du support, ce qui fait que l'ensemble formé par le support et le boîtier est complètement étanche aux poils arrachés par l'appareil.More particularly according to the invention, the passage, formed in the lower part of the support of the rotating roller, cooperates hermetically with the upper walls of the housing when it is mounted on said housing of the apparatus. Upper walls of the housing of the apparatus include the upper part of the side walls and the front walls of separation of the open upper part of the housing with respect to a closed lower part which contains the motor and the transmission. A transmission wheel, however, passes through a narrow passage, a front wall at the top of the housing and engages a pinion of the tweezers for driving the rotating roller. Such upper walls therefore have dimensions that correspond to those of the support, so that the assembly formed by the support and the housing is completely impervious to hair pulled off by the device.
Lors du fonctionnement de l'appareil, les poils arrachés sont soit largués à l'extérieur, soit lâchés à l'intérieur de la tête et dans ce cas ils s'accumulent dans l'espace qui sépare le rouleau rotatif du boîtier de l'appareil. Cet espace est un espace de récupération fermé du fait que la structure de la tête à épiler, notamment celle du support du rouleau rotatif coopère de manière étanche aux poils avec les parois supérieures du boîtier, on comprend donc que les ouvertures de passage du support sont comblées par les parois supérieures du boîtier de manière à définir ensemble un espace confiné de réception des poils, dissocié de celui interne, situé en partie inférieure du boîtier. Ceci empêche l'accès des poils à l'intérieur du boîtier et prolonge ainsi la durée de vie de l'appareil. Lorsque la tête à épiler est retirée du boîtier, les poils présents en la partie supérieure du boîtier peuvent être facilement enlevés par exemple à l'aide d'une brosse.During operation of the apparatus, the torn hairs are either released on the outside or dropped inside the head and in this case they accumulate in the space between the rotating roller and the housing of the apparatus. This space is a closed recovery space because the structure of the depilatory head, in particular that of the support of the rotating roller cooperates sealingly with the bristles with the upper walls of the housing, it is thus clear that the openings for the passage of the support are filled by the upper walls of the housing so as to define together a confined space for receiving the bristles, dissociated from the internal one, located in the lower part of the housing. This prevents access to the bristles inside the case and prolongs the life of the device. When the depilatory head is removed from the housing, the bristles present in the upper part of the housing can be easily removed for example with a brush.
Utilement, lesdites entretoises sont parallèles, chaque entretoise étant alignée avec les parois latérales du boîtier et ledit passage est délimité par les bords internes des entretoises qui coopèrent avec une paroi centrale dudit boîtier.Usefully, said spacers are parallel, each spacer being aligned with the side walls of the housing and said passage is delimited by the inner edges of the spacers which cooperate with a central wall of said housing.
Les deux entretoises relient les deux montants verticaux supportant le rouleau rotatif et de ce fait elles sont parallèles à l'axe du rouleau rotatif. Les entretoises relient les deux montants en leur périphérie laissant apparaître une ouverture ou un passage au centre. Ce passage coopère alors, de préférence de manière continue, avec une paroi centrale située en la partie supérieure du boîtier. On comprend donc que les bords internes des entretoises se prolongent par une paroi centrale située dans un même plan. La paroi centrale du boîtier présente alors une largeur sensiblement égale à la largeur de l'ouverture définie par l'écartement des entretoises et une longueur sensiblement égale à celle de l'ouverture et donc à la longueur des entretoises dudit support.The two spacers connect the two vertical uprights supporting the rotating roller and therefore they are parallel to the axis of the rotating roller. The spacers connect the two uprights at their periphery revealing an opening or a passage in the center. This passage then cooperates, preferably continuously, with a central wall located in the upper part of the housing. It is therefore understood that the inner edges of the spacers are extended by a central wall located in the same plane. The central wall of the housing then has a width substantially equal to the width of the opening defined by the spacing of the spacers and a length substantially equal to that of the opening and therefore to the length of the spacers of said support.
Avantageusement, chaque entretoise présente un profil incliné orienté vers ledit passage.Advantageously, each spacer has an inclined profile oriented towards said passage.
Le profil des entretoises est alors incliné vers le passage central afin de former un entonnoir de guidage des poils qui tombent à l'intérieur de la tête et sont ainsi orientés vers l'espace confiné défini avec la paroi centrale du boîtier, sans qu'il y ait d'accumulation des poils dans les recoins du support.The profile of the struts is then inclined towards the central passage to form a funnel for guiding the bristles which fall inside the head and are thus oriented towards the confined space defined with the central wall of the housing, without it there is accumulation of hair in the recesses of the support.
De préférence, ledit support est réalisé en deux parties amovibles.Preferably, said support is made of two removable parts.
Les parties amovibles sont reliées entre elles soit sur le côté longitudinal des entretoises, soit au niveau de la jonction entre un montant vertical et une entretoise. Ceci permet de faciliter l'assemblage du support avec le rouleau rotatif et également le démontage pour un nettoyage encore plus soigné.The removable parts are interconnected either on the longitudinal side of the spacers or at the junction between a vertical upright and a spacer. This facilitates the assembly of the support with the rotating roller and also the disassembly for even more careful cleaning.
Avantageusement selon l'invention, ladite paroi centrale appartient à un dispositif de verrouillage qui relie le support au boîtier de l'appareil.Advantageously according to the invention, said central wall belongs to a locking device which connects the support to the housing of the apparatus.
Le support du rouleau est relié au boîtier de l'appareil par un dispositif de verrouillage appartenant à ce dernier. Ce dispositif joue donc le double rôle d'interface étanche avec la tête à épiler et assure en même temps une fixation de cette dernière par rapport au boîtier. Ceci offre une construction compacte et simplifiée, avec moins de composants et donc plus économique.The roller support is connected to the housing of the apparatus by a locking device belonging to the latter. This device thus plays the dual role of sealing interface with the depilatory head and at the same time ensures a fixation of the latter with respect to the housing. This offers a compact and simplified construction, with fewer components and therefore more economical.
Utilement, ledit dispositif de verrouillage comporte au moins un élément de blocage qui coopère avec au moins un élément d'accouplement dudit support.Usefully, said locking device comprises at least one locking element which cooperates with at least one coupling element of said support.
Le dispositif de verrouillage permet un couplage de la tête à épiler par rapport au boîtier de l'appareil et à sa transmission. Il comprend un élément de blocage appartenant au boîtier associé à un élément d'accouplement du support, ces éléments étant aptes à coopérer en vue de fournir un couplage facile des deux ensembles ainsi que leur démontage rapide par l'utilisateur.The locking device allows a coupling of the depilatory head with respect to the housing of the apparatus and its transmission. It comprises a locking element belonging to the housing associated with a coupling element of the support, these elements being able to cooperate in order to provide easy coupling of the two assemblies as well as their quick disassembly by the user.
De préférence, ledit élément de blocage est solidaire de ladite paroi centrale.Preferably, said locking element is integral with said central wall.
La paroi centrale formant un espace étanche avec les entretoises du support du rouleau rotatif est donc prévue au centre de l'ouverture délimitée par les deux entretoises. On préfère munir les côtés latéraux de cette paroi d'un ou plusieurs éléments de blocage qui coopèrent alors avec des éléments d'accouplement situés en partie inférieure des entretoises. Ceci permet d'optimiser la structure du dispositif de verrouillage, tout en préservant ses propriétés d'étanchéité.The central wall forming a sealed space with the spacers of the support of the rotating roller is therefore provided in the center of the opening defined by the two spacers. It is preferred to provide the lateral sides of this wall with one or more locking elements which then cooperate with coupling elements located in the lower part of the spacers. This optimizes the structure of the locking device, while preserving its sealing properties.
Avantageusement, ledit dispositif de verrouillage comporte un élément d'actionnement dudit élément de blocage.Advantageously, said locking device comprises an actuating element of said locking element.
Un tel élément d'actionnement est prévu pour permettre à l'utilisateur d'agir depuis l'extérieur sur le dispositif de verrouillage qui, lui, est intégré au boîtier de l'appareil.Such an actuating element is provided to allow the user to act from the outside on the locking device which is integrated in the housing of the device.
De préférence, ledit élément d'actionnement est agencé de manière coulissante parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal du rouleau rotatif à l'encontre d'un ressort.Preferably, said actuating element is slidably arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rotating roller against a spring.
Ainsi, le dispositif de verrouillage comprend un ressort de compression qui coopère avec l'élément d'actionnement, notamment en le poussant vers l'extérieur du boîtier, le ressort étant, lui, fixé à une butée axiale appartenant au boîtier. Un tel élément d'actionnement qui coulisse parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal du rouleau rotatif assure le déplacement relatif des éléments d'accouplement et des éléments de blocage, le retour de course se faisant sous la poussée d'un ressort pour plus de simplicité.Thus, the locking device comprises a compression spring which cooperates with the actuating element, in particular by pushing it outwardly of the housing, the spring being fixed to an axial stop belonging to the housing. Such an actuating element which slides parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rotating roller ensures the relative displacement of the coupling elements and locking elements, the return stroke is under the thrust of a spring for simplicity.
Avantageusement, ledit élément d'actionnement comporte un bouton d'actionnement saillant à l'extérieur du boîtier et relié à ladite paroi centrale.Advantageously, said actuating element comprises an actuating button projecting outside the housing and connected to said central wall.
Le bouton d'actionnement est donc situé à l'extérieur du boîtier et permet d'actionner directement ladite paroi centrale en coulissement pour assurer le déverrouillage de la tête qui peut alors être facilement retirée par l'utilisateur.The actuation button is located outside the housing and allows to operate directly said sliding central wall to unlock the head which can then be easily removed by the user.

L'appareil à épiler représenté aux figures 1 et 2 comprend un boîtier 1 et une tête à épiler 2. Le boîtier 1 renferme un moteur électrique 12 et un train d'engrenages ou transmission 10 qui transfère le mouvement de rotation de l'arbre de sortie du moteur à une roue de transmission 10 venant directement en prise avec un pignon d'entraînement 9 du rouleau rotatif 3 de la tête à épiler 2. Le rouleau rotatif 3 comprend plusieurs modules d'arrachage 4 portés par une cage périphérique 8 concentrique à l'axe longitudinal du rouleau rotatif 3 et entraîné en rotation par le pignon d'entraînement 9 de ce dernier. Un module d'arrachage 4 comprend plusieurs pinces d'arrachage, une pince étant formée de lames mobiles 5 et de lames fixes 6. La base d'une lame mobile 5 suit la rainure d'une came interne 7 et s'applique et s'éloigne successivement d'une lame fixe 6 adjacente lors de son entraînement en rotation autour de l'axe longitudinal du rouleau rotatif 3. Les pinces des modules d'arrachage 4 sont décalées angulairement sur la périphérie du rouleau rotatif 3. En fonctionnement, lorsque le moteur électrique est alimenté, il met en rotation le rouleau rotatif 3 dont les pinces se ferment et s'ouvrent successivement et arrachent les poils de la zone à épiler qui se présentent devant la tête à épiler. Un tel rouleau rotatif est mieux décrit dans la demande de brevet
La tête à épiler 2 est montée de manière amovible par rapport au boîtier 1 et à la roue de transmission 10 de ce dernier. Pour ceci, la tête à épiler 2 et le boîtier 1 sont munis de moyens de verrouillage à l'aide desquels ils sont fixés l'un à l'autre et sont ensuite désolidarisés l'un par rapport à l'autre, tel qu'il sera expliqué par la suite. Un bouton 15 est prévu sur un côté du boîtier 1 à l'aide duquel on peut déverrouiller la tête à épiler pour la retirer du boîtier 1.The
La figure 3 montre une tête à épiler 2 selon l'invention où les composants du rouleau rotatif 3 sont supportés par un axe 14 dont les extrémités profilées 17 sont montées dans des orifices correspondants 18 pratiqués dans les parois internes des montants 21,22 d'un support 20. Les montants 21,22 sont verticaux et abritent les flancs latéraux du rouleau rotatif 3 qu'ils supportent. Les deux montants 21,22 sont reliés en leur base par deux entretoises 24,25 parallèles. Dans le mode de réalisation présenté à la figure 3, chaque entretoise 24,25 est réalisée en deux parties 24', 24", respectivement 25',25" dans le but de faciliter le montage du rouleau rotatif 3 et de son support 20. Ainsi, les entretoises 24',25' présentent à leur extrémité des nervures 26 qui s'insèrent dans des rainures 27 prévues à l'extrémité des entretoises 24" et 25". Les entretoises 24,25 délimitent latéralement un passage 23 qui laisse apparaître le rouleau rotatif 3 en dessous. Les entretoises 24,25 ont un profil incliné orienté vers le passage 23, entretoises dont la surface interne est plus particulièrement réalisée en arc de cercle. Le support 20 (tel que réalisé après l'assemblage des parties d'entretoises 24', 25' avec les parties d'entretoises 24",25" situées dans le prolongement des premières) présente quatre éléments d'accouplement 28 avec un dispositif de verrouillage du boîtier 1. Les éléments d'accouplement sont situés en partie inférieure des entretoises 24,25 et ils sont constitués, dans cet exemple, par des tenons parallélépipédiques présentant, à l'arrière, une surface externe 29 inclinée et un évidement 30 interne.FIG. 3 shows a
La figure 4 est une vue de dessus du boîtier 1 de l'appareil, la tête à épiler 2, comprenant le support 20 et le rouleau rotatif 3, étant enlevée. Le boîtier 1 comprend un dispositif de verrouillage 33 entouré par les parois supérieures latérales 31 du boîtier, le dispositif de verrouillage étant logé dans un découpage prévu à cet effet dans une paroi frontale 34 du même boîtier. Le dispositif de verrouillage 33 comprend une paroi centrale 35 comportant, sur ses côtés longitudinaux, quatre éléments de blocage 36. Les éléments de blocage 36 sont constitués, dans cet exemple, par des languettes ayant une surface avant 37 inclinée. Des découpages 38 sont disposés autour des éléments de blocage 36 pour recevoir les éléments d'accouplement 28 du support 20.Figure 4 is a top view of the
La paroi centrale 35 est montée mobile en coulissement dans une direction parallèle à l'axe 14 du rouleau rotatif 3, sous la poussée d'un ressort 40 de compression, tel que mieux visible à la figure 2. La paroi centrale 35 comporte à cet effet, sur sa face inférieure, un rail de guidage inséré dans une nervure longitudinale du boîtier 1. Le ressort 40 est monté sous la paroi centrale 35, avec l'une de ses extrémités qui prend appui contre une butée axiale 41 du boîtier 1, l'extrémité opposée étant, elle, solidaire d'une ailette 42 appartenant à la paroi centrale 35. Ce ressort assure une poussée de la paroi centrale 35 vers l'extérieur du boîtier 1, la course axiale étant limitée par une butée appartenant au boîtier. Le bouton 15 de verrouillage est monté fixe à l'extrémité de la paroi centrale 35, bouton par lequel ladite paroi centrale est poussée vers l'intérieur du boîtier 1, à l'encontre de la force exercée par le ressort 40.The
La figure 5 montre un appareil de l'invention où le support 20 de la tête à épiler est monté sur le boîtier 1, le rouleau rotatif étant enlevé pour plus de clarté. On remarque sur cette figure que les bords internes des entretoises 24,25 du support 20 s'intègrent dans un même plan avec la paroi 35 lors du montage, paroi qui comble le passage 23, les bords externes des entretoises 24,25 s'insérant, eux, à l'intérieur des parois supérieures latérales 31 du boîtier 1. Les éléments d'accouplement 28 du support 20 s'insèrent dans des découpages 38 situés de part et d'autre de la paroi centrale 35, les découpages étant ensuite masqués par les entretoises 24,25 prenant place, elles aussi, de part et d'autre de la paroi centrale 35. La paroi centrale 35 agit alors comme un tiroir ramasse poils agencé coulissant entre les deux entretoises 24,25. Dans un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention, les parois internes des entretoises 24,25 sont courbées en arc de cercle et la paroi centrale 35 suit la même courbure, leur assemblage se faisant alors selon une surface cylindrique continue et étanche aux poils. Une telle surface courbe peut être une surface cylindrique concentrique à la surface enveloppe du rouleau rotatif 3, mais de rayon supérieur à cette dernière. Un espace de récupération 45 des poils est alors défini entre la partie inférieure du support 20 et la paroi centrale 35, espace qui peut être nettoyé lorsque la tête à épiler est retirée du boîtier.Figure 5 shows an apparatus of the invention where the
En fonctionnement, on commence par monter la tête à épiler 2 sur le boîtier 1 de l'appareil en effectuant une légère pression sur la tête pour que les éléments d'accouplement 28 s'enclenchent dans les découpages 38 de la paroi frontale 34, notamment jusqu'à ce que la surface avant 37 des éléments de blocage 36 prenne place dans les évidements 30 des éléments d'accouplement 28, sous la poussée du ressort 40. A la fin de l'opération d'épilation, on déverrouille la tête à épiler en exerçant une pression latérale sur le bouton 15 qui pousse alors la paroi 35 à l'encontre de la force du ressort 40 qui permet aux éléments d'accouplement 28 de se libérer de leur lien avec les éléments de blocage 36. La tête à épiler est alors retirée du boîtier 1 par un mouvement vertical vers le haut et on peut procéder par la suite au nettoyage de la tête et de l'espace de récupération 45 du boîtier 1. Ainsi, l'espace de récupération 45 peut être nettoyé en retournant l'appareil pour faire tomber les poils accumulés ou à l'aide d'une brosse. La tête à épiler peut être nettoyée également à l'aide d'une brosse, voire, pour un nettoyage plus poussé, en la faisant passer sous un jet d'eau, ses composants étant réalisés en des matériaux qui ne se détériorent pas au contact de l'eau (matériaux plastiques et de l'acier inox pour les lames et les ressorts). La tête à épiler une fois retirée du boîtier peut également être nettoyée en l'immergeant dans un bassin contenant de l'eau (au cas ou la personne s'épile dans un mazot sans eau courante), de l'alcool ou un autre liquide désinfectant.In operation, we first mount the
D'autres variantes et modes de réalisation de l'invention peuvent être envisagés sans sortir du cadre de ces revendications.Other variants and embodiments of the invention may be envisaged without departing from the scope of these claims.
Ainsi, toute construction et structure de support de tête à épiler formant un boîtier de tête ouvert en direction du boîtier de manière à faire communiquer le rouleau rotatif avec un espace de récupération des poils en dessous peut également être envisagée.Thus, any construction and support structure of a tweezer head forming a housing Open head towards the housing so as to communicate the rotating roller with a hair recovery space underneath may also be considered.
On pourrait également envisager une structure d'appareil à épiler à tête amovible où le support du rouleau rotatif comporterait deux montants obliques en triangle à la pointe desquels serait agencé le palier d'axe du rouleau rotatif maintenu dans un support appartenant à une paroi latérale du boîtier de l'appareil, paroi s'étendant alors à hauteur du rouleau rotatif.It would also be possible to envisage a depilatory device structure with a removable head where the support of the rotating roller comprises two oblique triangular amounts at the tip of which the axial bearing of the rotatable roller held in a support belonging to a lateral wall of the housing of the apparatus, wall extending then to the height of the rotating roller.
