Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tweezers of the type comprising a rotating cylinder with tongs for removing the superfluous hair from the human body, and more particularly relates to a device for cutting body hair for such an 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 by the rotation of the cylinder and then to evacuate the torn hairs before starting a new cycle of tearing.
  • a complementary hair cutting function prior to hair removal.
  • Such a function of cutting hair with a depilatory device has been presented in the document FR 2 703 885 which describes a depilatory device having a hair cutting device arranged next to the depilating head, in front of the latter in the direction of advance of the device on the skin.
  • the hair cutting device is driven directly by the oscillating hair removal head. While this device can already shorten the hair before it is torn off, it finds its limits when it can only be used with an oscillating hair removal head.
  • the hair cutting device is permanently present on the device, it increases the size of the depilatory head, so that the assembly can not be used for all the hairy areas of the human body.
  • the document EP 0 630 596 discloses a depilatory apparatus having a removable hair cutting head, but wherein said cutting head incorporates the cutting mechanism. More particularly, the cutting head incorporates a mechanism that transforms the rotational movement of a gear wheel belonging to the housing into an alternative translational movement of the movable knife.
  • the cutting head incorporates a mechanism that transforms the rotational movement of a gear wheel belonging to the housing into an alternative translational movement of the movable knife.
  • very strict manufacturing tolerances must be respected, which makes the device expensive.
  • the housing of such a cutting head with integrated mechanism is quite large, which makes the area to be treated less visible, because hidden by the cutting head.
  • the object of the present invention is to obviate the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a device for cutting the bristles for a depilatory device of small size, which can be achieved economically, while being reliable in operation.
  • Another object of the invention is a simplified construction skin treatment device, easy to mount on the housing of the device, having an improved life, while ensuring an effective drive of its moving parts.
  • Another object of the invention is a depilatory device for performing both lifting operations and cutting body hair, effectively, reliably and easily for the person using it.
  • a tweezers having a manual gripping housing, enclosing an electric motor and a gear train receiving motor motion for rotating a hair removal head having a rotary barrel with grippers. pulling rotated about an axis parallel to the plane of the skin, the epilation head being removably mounted relative to the housing between a position where it receives the rotational movement from the gear train and another position where it is removed from the housing, and a hair cutting device also removably mounted relative to the housing and having at least one member movable in translation along an axis parallel to the plane of the skin, that the movable member is connected to a coupling arm which is a cross piece having a horizontal guide branch and a transverse branch for driving the gold mobile gane from a contained mechanism in the case.
  • the hair cutting device is removably mounted relative to the housing of a depilatory device, instead of the tweezers. It comprises a movable member which cuts the bristles as it moves in an alternating translational movement parallel to the plane of the skin.
  • the drive mechanism is arranged in the housing of the device, which makes the accessory or cutting device more compact, lighter and easier to handle by the person using it. Indeed, it greatly simplifies the construction of both the accessory and the device by arranging the drive mechanism of the movable member in the housing of the tweezer, closer to the gears of the train d the gears, without increasing the size of the housing, while obtaining a more compact device, able to treat areas of hollow skin or non-planar relief.
  • the movable member of the cutting device is connected to a cross-shaped coupling arm having a dual function: connect the movable member to the drive mechanism located at a distance and guide it in its translational movement.
  • cross piece is understood a part having a structure defined by two competing axes, for example a vertical axis and a horizontal axis, one of the axes for receiving and transmitting the movement in the manner of a coupling and the other axis for guiding with respect to the housing.
  • the drive of the movable member being remotely, from an end of the cross arm located in the housing of the device, the arm must both transmit the movement and ensure the proper guidance of the organ mobile, without transmitting parasitic moments that would then cause malfunction of the movable member (blocking, movement not parallel to the skin, etc.).
  • the solution of the invention is to use a cross-shaped coupling arm, the horizontal branch (here called horizontal branch the branch of the arm which is parallel to the translational movement, as visible when holding the device by hand in a vertical position) providing translation and branch guidance transversal, thus extending on either side of the horizontal branch realizing the transmission of the movement.
  • Many other forms of drive coupling of the movable member have been considered: a rhombus, an oval, a square or rectangle, without achieving the desired results.
  • Such a cross arm thus ensures a good transmission of movement, because its horizontal arm and its guides support the drive force printed by the drive end of the arm on the housing side and thus guide in translation the other end of the arm cross which is connected to the moving knife. This ensures a movement in regular alternating translation and parallel to the plane of the skin of the movable member and thus an effective haircut.
  • said coupling arm is a one-piece piece.
  • the horizontal branch comprises a beam of non-circular section slidably disposed in slides belonging to the cutting device.
  • Such a beam, sliding in slides of complementary shape belonging to the frame of the device, provides good guidance with a double angular holding of the end of the arm connected to the movable member.
  • the horizontal branch comprises a cylindrical tube slidable along a pin belonging to the cutting device.
  • the cylindrical rails belong to the horizontal branch of the cross arm, the guide pin belonging to the frame of the cutting device, which ensures good lateral guidance of the coupling arm, for a constructive solution.
  • the slides are arranged at opposite ends of the horizontal arm of the coupling arm.
  • the coupling arm comprises a guide flange slidably disposed along a rod parallel to said spindle and belonging to the cutting device.
  • Such a complementary guiding means of the coupling arm provides a complementary angular support thus avoiding any pivoting before rear of the movable member driven by the coupling arm.
  • said drive mechanism comprises a cam rotated by said gear train.
  • said cam is rotated about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the drive transmission wheel of the tweezers.
  • the cam receives the rotation drive from a toothed gear of the gear train, in the same direction, parallel to the plane of the skin, but using a toothed wheel located on a parallel axis being dimensioned so as to give it the good speed of movement, preferably greater than that of the hair removal head to ensure a good cut of the hairs.
  • said cam is arranged equidistant from the side walls of the housing of the apparatus.
  • the cutting device may comprise two lateral springs for maintaining the guide arm in a centered position, even when it is disengaged from the housing.
  • said coupling arm comprises a lower insertion end in a groove of said cam.
  • the coupling arm comprises a female end to be connected to a male return part permanently inserted into a cam groove.
  • said lower end comprises a corner rib extended by a tongue.
  • Such a corner piece has both good rigidity and ease of insertion into the groove. Indeed, the tongue allows a quick insertion into the cam groove, regardless of the position of the cam and the corner portion ensures contact with the side of the cam groove.
  • said movable member is an inner knife having at least one blade which performs an alternating translation movement parallel to the plane of the skin and which is made to cooperate with a fixed outer knife.
  • said outer knife is a comb.
  • the device for cutting body hair is a clipper comprising a fixed outer comb-shaped knife, preferably a metal knife with triangular or wedge-shaped cutting teeth which cut the bristles which are between its teeth when moving back and forth in translation of the moving inner knife which is parallel to it and held in sliding contact with the fixed knife.
