Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hair removal device, in particular epilation and / or depilation.
  • the invention relates to the hand part of such a hair removal device with a housing to which various tool attachments are fastened, and a drive device which is arranged in the housing and a drive element, in particular -rad, to which a respective tool attachment with its attachment-side drive element can be coupled is.
  • a tool attachment set for such a hair removal device comprises at least two mutually interchangeable tool attachments, each having a coupling portion which are identical to each other and connectable to a complementary coupling portion on the handle of the hair removal device, wherein the tool attachments each having a drive element which can be coupled with a handpiece side drive element is.
  • an epilation head is used, by means of which the hair to be removed is grasped, clamped and pulled out of the skin with the root by means of periodically opening and closing forceps-like clamping members.
  • the latter process is realized in that the tweezer-like clamping elements are quickly moved away from the skin after pinching the hair or hair.
  • Regularly include such Epilierkée doing a rotatably driven cylinder, distributed over the circumference clamping elements are arranged, which open and close periodically in dependence on the rotational position, so that is carried out by the rotating cylinder epilation.
  • hair cutting heads can be placed on the hand part of such hair removal devices, which work like the long-hair trimmer of a razor and cause a so-called depilation of body hair.
  • the Haarschneideaufsatz may comprise a translationally reciprocable cutter bar, which is moved over a shear plate or a shear bar, so that between them pinched body hairs are sheared.
  • EP 1 212 960 A1 discloses a hair removal device with an tribology unit on which various heads can be placed.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an improved hair removal device of the type mentioned above, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art and the latter further develops in an advantageous manner.
  • a realization of various drive movements should be achieved in an economical manner.
  • each tool attachment can be coupled to the appropriate drive for him.
  • one and the same tool attachment can also be coupled, for example by converting, to different drives in order, for example, to realize different drive speeds for one and the same tool attachment.
  • the handpiece-side drive device has at least two drive elements, which can alternatively be coupled with a respective tool attachment.
  • either the one or the other drive element can be used to drive the attachment-side drive train.
  • Both drive elements are arranged accessible from the outside, preferably in the region of the coupling portion of the handle on which the tool attachments are attached.
  • the respectively not required drive element transmits no drive movement to the currently coupled tool attachment, wherein the drive element not required in this case run empty or can be turned off.
  • each drive element alone can drive the respective attached tool attachment.
  • the at least two tool attachments of the tool attachment set according to the invention are distinguished by the fact that their drive components which can be coupled to the handpiece-side drive with respect to the mutually identically designed coupling sections, with which they on the complementary Coupling portion of the hand part are attached, are arranged at different locations and / or are aligned differently.
  • the drive element can be arranged on the left and on the other tool attachment on the right. The different arrangement and / or alignment ensures that the attachment-side drive element can be brought into engagement with only one of the two drive elements on the handpiece.
  • the two handpiece-side drive elements are formed differently from each other and / or arranged differently and / or provided for the transmission of various drive movements. If, for example, only different drive speeds, in particular rotational speeds, should be realized, can basically identically designed and also with respect to their axis of movement arranged in parallel drive elements are used. To realize the various drive speeds, two separate drive motors and / or two separate, differently designed gear stages can be provided in the handset.
  • the two handpiece-side drive elements are at least differently oriented, in particular they may have movement axes pointing in different directions.
  • they themselves can also be designed differently.
  • they when trained as gears, they may have a different number of teeth, a different diameter or a different toothing education, for example, on the one hand form a bevel gear and on the other hand, a spur gear.
  • the two drive elements are each designed as wheels, in particular gears, wherein they are drivable in different directions of rotation and at different speeds.
  • the multiple drive elements of the handset are driven by a common drive motor.
  • the drive movement provided by the drive motor is divided, so to speak, into a plurality of drive trains, at whose handpiece-side ends said drive elements are seated.
  • the drive elements can be driven via a respective gear stage by an output element, in particular pinion forth, sitting on the motor shaft of the drive motor.
  • the respectively not required drive element or even in the case of more than two drive elements switch off the drive units that are not required and only set the required drive element in operation.
  • a coupling device is provided on the handpiece, by means of which a non-required drive element can be uncoupled from the respective drive train provided in the handpiece or can be coupled again.
  • an automatic coupling which engages the drive element required for the respective attached tool attachment when the corresponding attachment is mounted on the handle.
  • the coupling device can in this case advantageously comprise a mechanical actuator in the invention, which is actuated when placing a suitable tool attachment by a side-mounted actuator and engages the clutch. If another tool attachment does not have the appropriate actuator, the coupling device remains disengaged.
  • the concrete design of the coupling can of course be different.
  • a preferred embodiment may be that the respective drive train has a gear that is movably mounted beyond its rotation, so that it can be brought into and out of engagement with a preceding or downstream gear.
  • a Stirnradcruung be provided, wherein the engagement and disengagement causing gear frontally on the cooperating gear to and can be moved away in the opposite direction.
  • the clutch engagement is effected by a relative movement perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the wheel or perpendicular to the toothing. This also lends itself to a friction wheel.
  • the gear wheel which can be engaged and disengaged is displaceably mounted in the direction of its axis of rotation, so that it can be brought into engagement and disengage with the gearwheel cooperating with the gearwheel cooperating with the toothed gear when formed as a gear.
  • This may be particularly advantageous if the axis of rotation of said gear extends parallel to the Aufsteck- or -setzraum, the tool attachment. In this way, the gear can be easily pressed by the tool attachment itself directly into its engaged position when the tool attachment is placed translationally on the handle.
  • the displaceably mounted gear can be directly engageable with and disengaged from the drive wheel, which sits on the motor shaft of the drive motor of the handpiece side drive device.
  • the coupling device comprises a spring device by which the movably mounted gear element is biased in its non-engaged position.
  • hair removal device 1 is placed on the handle part 2 an epilator for the removal of hair on the human body according to the epilation principle, which has in the illustrated embodiment a rotating transverse to a transverse axis depilating roller 5, which rotates about its longitudinal axis, possibly also oscillates.
  • the epilating roller 5 has fixedly arranged on the roller body clamping discs 8, which extend approximately radially on the circumference of the depilation 5. Between the clamping discs 8 distributed about the circumference about tweezer-shaped clamping elements 9 are arranged, the comb-like each sitting on a clamping bar 11 which is mounted parallel to the axis of rotation of the depilation 5 at this longitudinally displaceable.
  • the clamping bar 11 stand with a plunger 12 on the front side over the body of the depilation 5 and slide on a cam-shaped cam control surface 14 on the attachment housing, which extends annularly around the axis of rotation of the depilation 5.
  • a cam-shaped cam control surface 14 on the attachment housing which extends annularly around the axis of rotation of the depilation 5.
  • this includes a drive wheel 7, which is formed in the illustrated embodiment as a spur gear and sits directly on the axis of rotation of the depilation 5 or is formed by a peripheral portion of the depilation 5.
  • This tower-side drive wheel 7 is driven by a handpiece-side drive wheel 4, which is also formed in the illustrated embodiment as a spur gear and is rotatably mounted about a rotational axis of the depilation 5 parallel axis of rotation on the housing 6 of the handle 2.
  • the drive wheel 4 is the front side of the attachment 3 facing the end of the handpiece 2 out of the housing 6, so that it comes with the tower-side drive wheel 7 into engagement when the attachment 3 is placed on the handle 2.
  • these each comprise mutually complementary coupling portions 10, which may in principle be designed differently and preferably form a plug-in connection, so that the attachment 3 can be placed on the end face substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handpiece 2.
  • the handpiece 2 comprises in addition to said drive wheel 4, a further drive wheel 13 which is provided for the realization of a different drive movement for a further tool attachment.
  • the handpiece-side drive device 15, the hand part side ends in the two aforementioned drive wheels 4 and 13, comprises the in the FIGS. 2 to 5 Drive motor 16 shown in more detail, which may be aligned with its motor shaft parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle 2 and has a seated on the motor shaft output gear 18, which is formed in the illustrated embodiment as a spur gear.
  • the drive movement of the output gear 18 is tapped by two gear stages 19 and 20, each forming a drive train and drive the aforementioned drive wheels 4 and 13, via which the respective drive train with the respective attached attachment can be coupled.
  • the first gear stage 19 via which the drive wheel 4 is driven, permanently coupled to the output gear 18 of the drive motor 16.
  • the gear stage 19 comprises two gear stages which drive the drive wheel 4 on the output side, the gear stages reducing the rotational speed of the drive motor 16 to the desired rotational speed of the drive wheel 4.
  • the second transmission stage 20 includes only one spur gear.
  • a spur gear 21 meshes with the seated on the motor shaft output gear 18 and drives the aforementioned drive wheel 13, which is rigidly connected to the spur gear 21.
  • the corresponding coupling device 22 is formed by said spur gear 21 and its movable mounting.
  • the spur gear 21 is slidably mounted parallel to its axis of rotation 23, so that it is disengaged from the seated on the motor shaft output gear 18, and that substantially parallel to the spur gear teeth.
  • the coupling device 22 in this case comprises a spring device 24, which presses the spur gear 21 with the drive wheel 13 seated thereon in the disengaged position.
  • the coupling movement is substantially perpendicular to the end face of the handle 2, to which the respective attachment 3 is placed.
  • the coupling movement thus takes place in the aforementioned embodiment of the coupling portions 10 between attachment and handpiece 2 parallel to the mounting direction of the attachment 3, so that upon placement of a matching tool attachment, the gear 20 is depressed against the bias of the spring means 24 and engaged, ie in engagement is brought to the output gear 18.
  • FIG. 3 shows, the two output gears 4 and 13, which provides the handpiece 2, both differently designed and aligned. While the drive wheel 4 about a lying, ie perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle 2 aligned axis rotate
  • the gear stage 20 is formed with respect to the gear stage 19 less underdeposit, so that the rotational speed of the driven gear 13 is considerably higher than the rotational speed of the drive wheel 4.
  • This can be driven with the drive wheel 13 in particular a hair cutting attachment with shear bar with a considerably higher frequency of oscillation, as he, for example, in FIG. 6 is shown.
  • This Haarschneideaufsatz 28 includes a cutting or knife bar 25 which is mounted parallel to its longitudinal translational reciprocating and sitting on a shear bar 26 and reciprocates over this, so that between them trapped hairs are cut off.
  • Said cutter bar 22 is reciprocally driven by an eccentric wheel 27, which can be brought into engagement with the previously described drive wheel 13 of the handpiece 2 when the hair cutting attachment is placed on the handpiece.
  • attachment set for the hair removal device described is not limited to the two exemplary embodiments of the tool attachments shown. It can also find exfoliating attachments, massage attachments and the like.
