Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Rasierapparat mit einem Scherkopf mit wenigstens einem Scherblatt und wenigstens einem relativ zu dem Scherblatt oszillierenden motorbetriebenen Schermesser sowie einer den Scherkopf übergreifenden Abdeckung.The invention relates to a razor with a shaving head with at least one shearing blade and at least one oscillating relative to the shear blade motor-driven blade and a shaving head cross-cover.

Rasierapparate sind in unterschiedlicher Ausbildung bekannt. Neben Geräten mit rotierenden Messern sind vor allen Dingen Scherköpfe mit wenigstens einem Scherblatt bekannt, relativ zu welchem ein Schermesserblock oszillierend bewegt wird. Auch bei der Ausgestaltung der Messerblöcke sind eine Reihe von Varianten vorgeschlagen worden. Neben im Wesentlichen vertikal auf die Ebene des Scherblatts orientierten Klingen sind auch geschlitzte Messer bekannt, welche relativ zu den entsprechenden Ausnehmungen des Scherblattes oszillierend bewegt werden. Bei bekannten Scherköpfen ist zumeist eine Mehrzahl von nebeneinander angeordneten Messerblöcken vorgesehen, wobei neben dieser für das Rasieren von kurzen Haaren besonders bevorzugten Ausbildung auch gesonderte Langhaarschneider vorgesehen sein können, welche aus einer Schneidkammplatte und einem relativ zu der Schneidkammplatte bewegten Schneidmesser bestehen und zumeist verschiebbar am Gehäuse des Rasier- oder Haarschneidgerätes geführt sind. Dabei kann ein den Langhaarschneider übergreifender Distanzkamm angeordnet werden, wobei durch Verstellung des Abstandes zwischen dem Langhaarschneider und dem Distanzkamm eine Einstellung der Haarlänge gelingt. Zu diesem Zweck kann beispielsweise der Distanzkamm über eine entsprechende Höhenverstellung verfügen.Razors are known in different training. In addition to devices with rotating knives, shaving heads with at least one shearing blade are known, in particular, relative to which a cutter block is moved in an oscillating manner. Also in the design of the knife blocks a number of variants have been proposed. In addition to substantially vertically oriented on the plane of the blade blades are also slotted knife known which are moved oscillating relative to the corresponding recesses of the shear blade. In known shaving heads a plurality of juxtaposed knife blocks is usually provided, which in addition to this shaving of short hair particularly preferred training may also be provided separate long-hair trimmers, which consist of a Schneidkammplatte and a relative to the Schneidkammplatte moving cutting blade and usually slidably on the housing of the shaver or hair clipper are performed. In this case, a long-hair trimmer cross-comb distance can be arranged, with adjustment of the distance between the long-hair trimmer and the distance comb a setting of the hair length succeeds. For this purpose, for example, the distance comb have a corresponding height adjustment.

Aus der DE 2 305 418 ist eine Schutzkappe für den Scherkopf von Trockenrasierapparaten bekannt geworden, welche zu Zwecken der Entlüftung Öffnungen in Form von länglichen Schlitzen aufweist. Die länglichen Schlitze sollen die Ausbildung einer feuchten Atmosphäre im Scherkopf verhindern, sodass die Entwicklung von unangenehmen Gerüchen, welche sich in feuchter Atmosphäre gemeinsam mit Barthaarresten, Schweiß, Fett und Talg bilden können, hintangehalten wird. Die länglichen Schlitze verlaufen hierbei im Wesentlichen quer zur Abdeckungslängsachse und können gemäß Fig. 3 dieses Dokuments mit der Abdeckungslängsachse auch Winkel abweichend von 90° einschließen.From the DE 2 305 418 For example, a protective cap for the shaving head of dry shavers has become known, which has openings in the form of elongate slots for purposes of ventilation. The oblong slots are supposed to be the Prevent formation of a humid atmosphere in the shaving head, so that the development of unpleasant odors, which can form in a humid atmosphere together with left-over hair, sweat, fat and sebum, is ignored. The elongate slots in this case run essentially transversely to the cover longitudinal axis and can according to Fig. 3 of this document with the cover longitudinal axis also include angles deviating from 90 °.

Bei der Ausbildung gemäß der EP 440 980 B1 ist abweichend von konventionellen Anordnungen der Distanzkamm für den Langhaarschneider als über den Rasierteil und den Langhaarschneider steckbarer und ortsfest am Gehäuse arretierbarer Teil ausgebildet. Wenn nun ein ortsfester Distanzkamm auf einen derartigen Scherkopf aufgesetzt wird, kann durch Verstellung des Langhaarschneiders ein entsprechender Abstand zwischen Distanzkamm und Langhaarschneider und somit die gewünschte Haarlänge eingestellt werden, um auf diese Weise die Funktion eines Haarschneidegerätes bereitstellen zu können.In the training according to EP 440 980 B1 Deviating from conventional arrangements, the spacer comb for the long-hair trimmer is designed as a part which can be plugged in and locked to the housing via the shaving part and the long-hair trimmer. Now if a stationary distance comb placed on such a shaving head is, by adjusting the long-hair trimmer, a corresponding distance between the distance comb and long-hair trimmer and thus the desired hair length can be adjusted to provide in this way the function of a hair clipper can.

Ein Langhaarschneider ist nun aber nicht notwendigerweise geeignet, die relativ kurzen Haare eines Bartes zu rasieren. Vielmehr machen es die bei Langhaarschneidern üblicherweise zum Einsatz gelangenden Distanzkämme unmöglich, alle mit Bart bewachsenen Gesichtsbereiche sicher zu erfassen, wobei die Verletzungsgefahr erheblich ist. Es besteht aber ein Bedürfnis, auch bei der Bartrasur eine Einstellung der Schnittlänge vorzunehmen. Die Erfindung zielt daher darauf ab, einen Rasierapparat bereitzustellen, mit welchem Barthaare nunmehr nicht vollständig bis zur Hautoberfläche rasiert werden, sondern vielmehr Barthaare auf eine definierte Bartstoppellänge gekürzt werden können, ohne dass hierfür komplizierte zusätzliche Bauteile erforderlich wären.However, a long-hair trimmer is not necessarily suitable for shaving the relatively short hair of a beard. Rather, the distance combs commonly used by long-hair trimmers make it impossible to securely grasp all bearded facial areas, with the risk of injury being considerable. However, there is a need to make an adjustment of the cutting length also in the Bartrasur. The invention therefore aims to provide a razor with which whiskers now not completely shaved to the skin surface, but rather whiskers can be shortened to a defined length of beard stop without the need for complicated additional components would be required.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht der erfindungsgemäße Rasierapparat im Wesentlichen darin, dass die Abdeckung des Scherkopfes sich quer zur Richtung der oszillierenden Bewegung der Schermesser erstreckende Ausnehmungen aufweist, deren Längsachsen zumindest teilweise von 90° verschiedene Winkel mit der Richtung der oszillierenden Bewegung wenigstens eines Schermessers einschließen. Dadurch, dass für die Definition der Bartstoppellänge der Querschnitt bzw. die Dicke der Abdeckung, wie sie üblicher Weise als Schutzkappe auf einen derartigen Rasierapparat aufgesteckt wird, verwendet wird und die Abdeckung mit definierten Ausnehmungen versehen wird, ergibt sich zum einen ein Schutz des Scherblattes in konventioneller Weise und zum anderen die Möglichkeit durch derartige Ausnehmungen bzw. Schlitze Barthaare dem Scherblatt zuzuführen, welche dann auf eine der Materialstärke der Abdeckung entsprechende Länge gekürzt werden können. Gleichzeitig hat eine derartige Abdeckung den Vorteil, dass Feuchtigkeit vom Scherkopf nach einer konventionellen Verwendung abdunsten kann, wobei für die gewünschte Verwendung als Bartstoppeltrimmer die Geometrie der Ausnehmungen dahingehend optimiert werden kann, dass Barthaare entsprechend sicher aufgerichtet und erfasst werden und somit der gewünschten Verkürzung auf das gewünschte Ausmaß zugeführt werden können. Dies wird durch die Schräglage der Längsachsen der Ausnehmungen zur Richtung der oszillierenden Bewegung sicher gestellt, da derartige Rasierapparate in aller Regel relativ genau vertikal zur Richtung der oszillierenden Bewegung des Messerblockes an der Haut entlang geführt werden. Bei einer derartigen Bewegung kollidieren Barthaare mit den Rändern der Ausnehmungen bzw. Schlitze und werden auf diese Weise in Richtung zum Scherblatt abgewiesen, sodass sie sicher vom Schermesser erfasst werden können. Dies gilt umso mehr als eine Reihe bekannter Scherköpfe neben den bereits beschriebenen im Wesentlichen vertikal zum Scherblatt orientierten Klingen auch Schlitzmesser aufweisen, welche relativ zu den Ausnehmungen des Scherblattes oszillierend bewegt werden, und daher mit Rücksicht auf die in diesem Falle in der Regel größeren Schlitze, besonders geeignet sind, um längere Haare sicher zu erfassen. Dem gegenüber haben die meisten Scherblätter nur relativ kleine Durchbrechungen, welche nur dann erfolgreich zum Schneiden von langen Haaren herangezogen werden können, wenn diese Haare entsprechend häufig aus ihrer ursprünglichen Position herausbewegt werden. Dies gelingt in besonders einfacher Weise dann, wenn, wie es einer bevorzugten Wieterbildung entspricht, die Ausbildung so getroffen ist, dass die Ausnehmungen als wellenförmige Schlitze ausgebildet sind.To achieve this object, the shaver according to the invention essentially consists in that the cover of the shaving head has transversely to the direction of the oscillating movement of the blades extending recesses whose longitudinal axes include at least partially different angles of 90 ° with the direction of the oscillating movement of at least one shearing blade. The fact that for the definition of the beard stub length of the cross section or the thickness of the cover, as it is usually plugged as a protective cap on such a shaver is used and the cover is provided with defined recesses, on the one hand, a protection of the shear blade results in Conventional way and on the other hand the possibility of such cutouts or slits whiskers to supply the shear blade, which then cut to a length corresponding to the material thickness of the cover can be. At the same time, such a cover has the advantage that moisture from the shaving head can evaporate after conventional use, for the desired use as beard trimmer, the geometry of the recesses can be optimized so that whiskers are raised and detected accordingly safe and thus the desired reduction on the desired extent can be supplied. This is ensured by the oblique position of the longitudinal axes of the recesses to the direction of the oscillating movement, since such razors are usually performed relatively exactly vertical to the direction of the oscillating movement of the knife block on the skin along. In such a movement whiskers collide with the edges of the recesses or slots and are thus rejected in the direction of the shear blade so that they can be reliably detected by the blade. This is all the more true since a number of known shaving heads in addition to the already described substantially vertically to the shear blade oriented blades also have slitting blades, which are moved relative to the recesses of the shear blade oscillating, and therefore with regard to the in this case usually larger slots, are particularly suitable to capture longer hair safely. On the other hand, most shear blades have only relatively small openings, which can only be used successfully for cutting long hair, if these hairs are frequently moved out of their original position. This is achieved in a particularly simple manner when, as it corresponds to a preferred Wieterbildung, the training is made so that the recesses are formed as wave-shaped slots.

Eine erfindungsgemäß günstige Geometrie für das Erfassen derartiger Bartstoppel lässt sich dadurch erzielen, dass die quer zur Richtung der oszillierenden Bewegung verlaufenden Schlitze abwechselnd zur Richtung der oszillierenden Bewegung geneigte Schlitzbereiche aufweisen, wobei die Längsachsen benachbarter Schlitzbereiche miteinander einen von zwischen 80° und 120° Winkel, insbesondere einen Winkel > 90°, einschließen. Mit einer derartigen Ausbildung lässt sich eine gute Konstanz der verbleibenden Länge der Barthaare, und damit der Eindruck eines sogenannten "Dreitagebartes", mit geringstem Aufwand erzielen.An inventively favorable geometry for detecting such beard stubble can be achieved in that the slots extending transversely to the direction of the oscillating movement alternately to the direction of the oscillating movement have inclined slot areas, wherein the longitudinal axes of adjacent slot areas with each other from a between 80 ° and 120 ° angle, in particular an angle> 90 °, include. With such a design, a good constancy of the remaining length of the whiskers, and thus the impression of a so-called "three-day beard", can be achieved with minimal effort.

Um das Aufrichten von Bartstoppeln und die sichere Zuführung zu den Schermessern zu begünstigen, ist mit Vorteil die Ausbildung so getroffen, dass den Rändern der Schlitze benachbart über die Hüllfläche der Abdeckung vorragende Noppen oder Leisten angeordnet sind. Die Leisten oder Noppen können hierbei derart angeordnet werden, dass die Haare in Rasierrichtung ausgerichtet werden, gegebenenfalls aufgerichtet und den Ausnehmungen zugeführt werden. Die Noppen oder Leisten können beispielsweise an einer Schmalseite der Schlitze angeordnet werden oder an beiden Schmalseiten der Schlitze. Für den Fall, dass die Schlitze quer zur Oszillationsrichtung der Schermesser geteilt ausgebildet sind, können Noppen beispielsweise an den Rändern der Abdeckung und in der Mitte der Abdeckung zwischen den beiden Bereichen der geteilt ausgebildeten Schlitze angeordnet werden. Zur Verbesserung der Aufrichtung der Haare können die Noppen oder Leisten aus einem gegenüber der Abdeckung weicheren Material ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise aus einem weichen Kunststoff, wobei dadurch gleichzeitig auch eine Hautstreckung bewirkt wird, welche zusätzlich zu einer Aufrichtung der Barthaare führt. Die Noppen oder Leisten können unmittelbar an der Abdeckung angeordnet sein oder auf einem gesonderten Trägerelement, welches auf die Abdeckung aufsteckbar sein kann.In order to promote the erection of stubble and the safe delivery to the cutters, the training is advantageously made so that the edges of the slots adjacent to the envelope surface of the cover protruding knobs or strips are arranged. The strips or nubs can in this case be arranged such that the hairs are aligned in the direction of shaving, optionally erected and fed to the recesses. The knobs or strips can be arranged for example on a narrow side of the slots or on both narrow sides of the slots. In the event that the slots are formed transversely to the direction of oscillation of the shearing blades, nubs may for example be arranged at the edges of the cover and in the middle of the cover between the two regions of the split slots. To improve the erection of the hairs, the knobs or strips may be formed from a material which is softer than the cover, for example from a soft plastic, whereby at the same time also a skin extension is effected, which additionally leads to an erection of the whiskers. The knobs or strips can be arranged directly on the cover or on a separate support element, which can be plugged onto the cover.

Eine bevorzugte Ausbildung ergibt sich auch, wenn die Begrenzungsflächen der Ausnehmungen Kerben und Vorsprünge aufweisen oder mit Zacken ausgebildet sind. Dadurch wird eine zusätzliche Anzahl an Kanten bereitgestellt, welche der Aufrichtung und Ausrichtung der Barthaare dienen.
Um eine gleichmäßige Schnittlänge über den gesamten Bereich des Scherblattes zu erreichen, ist die Ausbildung mit Vorteil derart weitergebildet, dass die Abdeckung im Bereich der Ausnehmungen eine der Hüllfläche des Scherkopfes entsprechende Formgebung aufweist. Es ist somit ein im Wesentlichen über den gesamten Bereich des Schersystems gleicher Abstand zwischen dem Schersystem und der Abdeckung gewährleistet, wobei die Abdeckung im wesentlichen auf dem Scherkopf unmittelbar aufliegen kann.
A preferred embodiment also results if the boundary surfaces of the recesses have notches and protrusions or are formed with serrations. This will be a provided additional number of edges, which serve the erection and alignment of the whiskers.
In order to achieve a uniform cutting length over the entire region of the shear blade, the design is advantageously developed such that the cover in the region of the recesses has a shape corresponding to the enveloping surface of the shaving head. It is thus ensured a substantially the same distance between the shear system and the cover over the entire area of the shearing system, wherein the cover can lie substantially directly on the shaving head.

Zur Erzielung unterschiedlicher Stoppellängen ist es bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Rasierapparat von Vorteil eine entsprechende Mehrzahl von Abdeckkappen bereitzustellen, wobei die Ausbildung mit Vorteil so getroffen ist, dass eine Mehrzahl von Abdeckungen mit voneinander verschiedener Materialstärke oder verschiedenen Krümmungsradien der Hüllflächen mit auf den gleichen Scherkopf klemmend aufschiebbaren Schenkeln vorgesehen ist.To achieve different stubble lengths, it is advantageous in the razor according to the invention to provide a corresponding plurality of cover caps, the design advantageously being such that a plurality of covers with mutually different material thickness or different radii of curvature of the envelope surfaces can be slidably pushed onto the same shaving head is provided.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. In dieser zeigen Fig.1 und Fig.2 perspektivische Ansichten eines Rasierapparates mit aufgesetzter Abdeckung, Fig.3 und Fig.4 jeweils eine vergrößerte Darstellung der den Scherkopf übergreifenden Abdeckung und Fig.5 und Fig.6 abgewandelte Ausbildungen der Abdeckung und Fig.7 eine vergrößerte Darstellung eines Schlitzes gemäß der Ausbildung nach Fig.5 und Fig.6 The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment schematically illustrated in the drawing. In this show Fig.1 and Fig.2 perspective views of a razor with attached cover, Fig.3 and Fig.4 in each case an enlarged view of the shaving head cross-cover and Fig.5 and Fig.6 modified formations of the cover and Figure 7 an enlarged view of a slot according to the embodiment according to Fig.5 and Fig.6

In Fig.1 und Fig.2 ist mit 1 das Basisteil eines Rasierapparates bezeichnet, welches den Motor enthält. 2 bezeichnet einen Scherkopf, auf welchem eine Abdeckung 3 aufgesetzt ist, welche mit ihrem Bereich 4 auch den im Rasierapparat vorgesehenen Langhaarschneider überdeckt und auf diese Weise vor Beschädigung schützt. Die Abdeckung 3 weist wellenförmig verlaufende Schlitze 5 auf, wie dies in Fig.3 und Fig.4 vergrößert dargestellt ist.
In Fig.3 ist die Richtung der oszillierenden Bewegung des Messerkopfes schematisch mit 6 angedeutet und es ist ersichtlich, dass die einzelnen Abschnitte der wellenförmig verlaufenden Schlitze 5 jeweils unter einem spitzen Winkel zur Richtung der oszillierenden Bewegung 6 angeordnet sind. Die Achsen dieser Abschnitte sind hierbei schematisch mit 7 angedeutet, wobei zwischen diesen Achsen 7 der jeweils geradlinig verlaufenden Abschnitte und der Richtung der oszillierenden Bewegung, wie sie durch die Achse 6 angedeutet ist, jeweils ein Winkel α < 90° eingeschlossen wird. Die Achsen 7 der geradlinig verlaufenden Abschnitte des wellenförmigen Schlitzes schließen hierbei einen Winkel von 2α in der Größenordung 100° ein.
In Fig.1 and Fig.2 1 denotes the base part of a razor which contains the motor. 2 designates a shaving head, on which a cover 3 is placed, which covers with its area 4 and the shaver provided in the long-hair trimmer and protects in this way from damage. The cover 3 has a wave shape extending slots 5, as shown in Fig.3 and Fig.4 is shown enlarged.
In Figure 3 For example, the direction of oscillating movement of the cutter head is indicated schematically at 6 and it can be seen that the individual portions of the undulating slots 5 are each disposed at an acute angle to the direction of the oscillating motion 6. The axes of these sections are here indicated schematically with 7, wherein between these axes 7 of the respective rectilinear sections and the direction of the oscillating movement, as indicated by the axis 6, in each case an angle α <90 ° is included. The axes 7 of the rectilinear portions of the wave-shaped slot in this case enclose an angle of 2α in the order of 100 °.

In Fig. 5 ist nun eine abgewandelte Ausbildung der Abdeckkappe dargestellt, bei welcher den Schlitzen 5 jeweils Noppen 8 zugeordnet sind, welche dazu dienen, die Barthaare in Rasierrichtung auszurichten und den Schlitzen zuzuführen. Im Falle der Ausbildung gemäß Fig.5 sind jedem Schlitz drei Noppen 8 zugeordnet, wobei die Noppen jeweils nur an einer Schmalseite der Schlitze angeordnet sind. Wie bereits ausgeführt, können die Noppen aber auch an beiden Schmalseiten der Schlitze angeordnet sein. Im Falle der Ausbildung gemäß Fig.6 ist jedem Schlitz nur eine größere Noppe 8 zugeordnet. Es ist auch ersichtlich, dass die Schlitze 5 an ihren Begrenzungsflächen gezackt ausgebildet sein können, wie dies beispielhaft anhand des in der Zeichnung mit 9 bezeichneten Schlitzes angedeutet ist. Eine vergrößerte Darstellung der gezackten Begrenzungsfläche ist in Fig.7 gezeigt.In Fig. 5 Now, a modified embodiment of the cap is shown, in which the slots 5 each knobs 8 are assigned, which serve to align the whiskers in the direction of shaving and supply the slots. In the case of training according to Figure 5 each slot three knobs 8 are assigned, the knobs are each arranged only on one narrow side of the slots. As already stated, however, the nubs can also be arranged on both narrow sides of the slots. In the case of training according to Figure 6 each slot is assigned only a larger nub 8. It can also be seen that the slots 5 may be formed jagged at their boundary surfaces, as is indicated by way of example with reference to the designated in the drawing with 9 slot. An enlarged view of the serrated boundary surface is shown in FIG Figure 7 shown.
