Abstract

The clipper has a cutting mechanism defining a cutting line (6), and a cutting guide comprising a foot with a bent bearing surface. A control unit (17) e.g. cutting length adjusting slide or grip, allows variation in a distance between the cutting line and the bearing surface of the foot along a curved path, when the control unit is in utilization. A bar (13) connects the control unit to the foot, where the foot is removable from the clipper.

Description

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

La présente invention se rapporte à une tondeuse à cheveux comportant un guide de coupe qui, en utilisation, permet une adaptation de la longueur de coupe en faisant varier la distance entre le mécanisme de coupe et le guide de coupe à l'aide d'un organe de commande selon une trajectoire courbe.The present invention relates to a hair trimmer having a cutting guide which, in use, allows adaptation of the cutting length by varying the distance between the cutting mechanism and the cutting guide with a control member in a curved path.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Pour qu'un utilisateur, généralement non professionnel de la coiffure, puisse assurer un travail de qualité en utilisant une tondeuse à cheveux munie d'un guide de coupe, il doit toujours respecte un angle de travail optimal entre ce guide de coupe et la courbure du crâne.In order for a user, who is generally a non-professional hairdresser, to be able to perform quality work using a hair trimmer equipped with a cutting guide, he must always respect an optimum working angle between this cutting guide and the curvature. of the skull.

Un dispositif de guide de coupe est généralement composé d'un peigne avec une surface d'appui et au moins un bras de maintien qui solidarise le guide de coupe à la tondeuse. Certains guides de coupe profitent également d'un emboîtement. Pour plus de simplicité, nous parlerons dans la suite de l'exposé de patin et non plus de peigne, sachant que le patin matérialise la surface d'appui du guide de coupe.A cutting guide device is generally composed of a comb with a bearing surface and at least one holding arm which secures the cutting guide to the mower. Some cutting guides also benefit from nesting. For simplicity, we will talk later in the presentation of skate and no longer comb, knowing that the pad materializes the bearing surface of the cutting guide.

Dans l'état de la technique, il existe d'une part des guides de coupe télescopiques comportant une surface d'appui approximativement plane. Le maintien du guide de coupe dans une position perpendiculaire par rapport au crâne est difficile et nécessite une adaptation permanente de l'inclinaison de la tondeuse à chaque déplacement sur le crâne et en particulier chaque fois que la longueur de coupe est adaptée (voir figures 1 et 2).In the state of the art, there are on the one hand telescopic cutting guides having an approximately flat bearing surface. Maintaining the cutting guide in a position perpendicular to the skull is difficult and requires adaptation permanent tilting of the mower with each movement on the skull and in particular each time the length of cut is adapted (see Figures 1 and 2 ).

Il existe d'autre part des guides de coupe non télescopiques qui ont une surface d'appui coudée. Ceux-ci sont emboîtés sur la tondeuse et on choisit les modèles à emboîter en fonction des hauteurs de coupe désirées. Ces guides coudés permettent une liberté de mouvement (basculement) de plus ou moins 15 ° par rapport à la normale du crâne tout en garantissant une longueur de coupe constante. Ceci augmente considérablement le confort d'utilisation. Cependant, pour changer la longueur de coupe, il faut adapter la hauteur du patin en permutant avec une autre pièce (voir figure 3).On the other hand, there are non-telescopic cutting guides which have an angled bearing surface. These are nested on the mower and the models to be nested according to the desired cutting heights. These angled guides allow a freedom of movement (tilting) of more or less 15 ° compared to the normal of the skull while guaranteeing a constant cutting length. This greatly increases the comfort of use. However, to change the length of cut, it is necessary to adapt the height of the skate by swapping with another piece (see figure 3 ).

Lorsque l'utilisateur veut adapter la longueur de coupe en adaptant la distance entre la ligne de coupe et la surface d'appui du guide de coupe sur le crâne, il a actuellement le choix entre deux options :

  • il utilise un guide de coupe télescopique avec une surface d'appui globalement plane qui permet certes l'adaptation automatique, via un organe de commande, de la longueur de coupe mais qui offre très peu de liberté de mouvement car il n'a pas de surface d'appui coudée. La difficulté d'une telle adaptation est esquissée aux figures 1 et 2. Ces figures montrent aussi qu'une translation rectiligne avec un patin coudé (non représenté) serait très problématique puisque la longueur de coupe ne serait plus définie par rapport à un cercle concentrique autour de la ligne de coupe dans lequel serait inscrit le coude. On perdrait donc l'avantage du coude et la liberté de mouvement qu'il apporte.
  • il utilise un guide de coupe non télescopique avec une surface d'appui coudée (patins de différentes hauteurs comme représentés à la figure 3) adaptable sur la tondeuse et qui ne permet pas l'adaptation automatique de la longueur de coupe par un organe de commande relié au guide, mais qui offre une certaine liberté de mouvement autour d'une ligne de basculement se trouvant sur le coude de la surface d'appui (voir figure 3).
When the user wants to adapt the cutting length by adapting the distance between the cutting line and the bearing surface of the cutting guide on the skull, he currently has the choice between two options:
  • it uses a telescopic cutting guide with a generally planar bearing surface which certainly allows the automatic adaptation, via a control member, the cutting length but which offers very little freedom of movement because it has no bent support surface. The difficulty of such an adaptation is outlined in Figures 1 and 2 . These figures also show that a rectilinear translation with an angled pad (not shown) would be very problematic since the cutting length would no longer be defined with respect to a concentric circle around the section line in which the elbow would be inscribed. We would lose the benefit of the elbow and the freedom of movement it brings.
  • it uses a non-telescopic cutting guide with an angled bearing surface (skids of different heights as represented in the figure 3 ) adaptable to the mower and which does not allow the automatic adjustment of the length of cut by a control member connected to the guide, but which offers a certain freedom of movement around a tilting line on the elbow of the support surface (see figure 3 ).

Le document US 2,593,168 divulgue une tondeuse avec un guide de coupe comportant un patin essentiellement plat. Le patin n'a pas de ligne de basculement autour de laquelle une certaine liberté de mouvement pourrait s'opérer. L'inclinaison du guide peut être changée par l'intermédiaire d'une vis de fixation du guide sur la tondeuse, le guide disposant d'une fente coopérant avec une vis de fixation pour l'adaptation de la position. Ce type de guide permet tous les types d'adaptation aussi bien en termes de longueur qu'en terme d'angle de contact avec le crâne sans offrir cependant la possibilité d'une adaptation automatique de la longueur de coupe au moyen d'un organe de commande et sans profiter des avantages d'un patin coudé.The document US 2,593,168 discloses a trimmer with a cutting guide having a substantially flat pad. The pad does not have a tilting line around which a certain freedom of movement could take place. The inclination of the guide can be changed by means of a fixing screw of the guide on the mower, the guide having a slot cooperating with a fixing screw for the adaptation of the position. This type of guide allows all types of adaptation both in terms of length and in terms of contact angle with the skull, but without the possibility of an automatic adaptation of the cutting length by means of an organ command and without enjoying the benefits of an angled pad.

Buts de l'inventionGoals of the invention

La présente invention vise à fournir une tondeuse à cheveux ne comportant pas les inconvénients de l'état de la technique. Elle vise en particulier à offrir une tondeuse permettant de faire varier la distance entre la surface d'appui d'un patin coudé et la ligne de coupe par un organe de commande, tout en continuant à inscrire la courbure du coude du patin dans un cercle concentrique autour de la ligne de coupe.The present invention aims to provide a hair trimmer does not include the disadvantages of the state of the art. It aims in particular to provide a mower for varying the distance between the bearing surface of a bent pad and the cutting line by a control member, while continuing to register the curvature of the elbow of the skate in a concentric circle around the cut line.

L'invention vise donc à fournir une tondeuse avec un guide de coupe ayant un patin avec une surface d'appui coudée et donnant ainsi une certaine liberté de mouvement durant la coupe des cheveux, tout en offrant la possibilité d'adaptation automatique de la longueur de coupe par un organe de commande et une plus grande précision de travail.The invention therefore aims to provide a mower with a cutting guide having a pad with a bent bearing surface and thus giving a certain freedom of movement during the cutting of the hair, while offering the possibility of automatic adjustment of the length of cutting by a control member and a greater precision of work.

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

La présente invention divulgue une tondeuse 1 avec un guide de coupe 2 qui réunit les avantages d'un guide de coupe avec adaptation automatique de la longueur de coupe par un mécanisme de commande avec ceux d'un guide de coupe comportant un patin ou un peigne avec une surface d'appui coudée permettant une plus grande liberté de mouvement autour d'une ligne de basculement.The present invention discloses a mower 1 with a cutting guide 2 which combines the advantages of a cutting guide with automatic adaptation of the cutting length by a control mechanism with those of a cutting guide comprising a pad or a comb with an angled bearing surface allowing greater freedom of movement around a tilting line.

Pour rendre un guide de coupe comportant un unique patin coudé opérationnel sur plusieurs longueurs de coupe, il ne suffisait pas d'adapter un simple mécanisme télescopique à déplacement rectiligne sur ce patin. Un simple déplacement rectiligne du patin coudé 16 aurait fait sortir le rayon du coude du patin du cercle concentrique 14 qui assure l'équidistance par rapport à la ligne de coupe 6. Or, pour continuer à profiter des avantages d'un patin coudé 16 qui permet un mouvement autour d'une ligne de basculement, il est important que le rayon du coude du patin continue à s'inscrire globalement dans un cercle concentrique 14 autour de la ligne de coupe 6 (voir notamment figures 4,5,6 et 9,10,11 et 12).To make a cutting guide with a single angled runner operational on several cutting lengths, it was not enough to adapt a simple telescopic mechanism to move rectilinearly on this pad. A simple rectilinear displacement of the bent pad 16 would have made the elbow radius of the pad run out of the concentric circle 14 which provides the equidistance with respect to the cutting line 6. However, to continue to enjoy the advantages of a bent pad 16 which allows movement around a tilting line, it is important that the elbow radius of the pad continues to fit globally in a circle concentric 14 around the cutting line 6 (see in particular figures 4,5,6 and 9,10,11 and 12 ).

L'objectif de rassembler les deux avantages connus de l'état de la technique (patin plat télescopique avec patin coudé permutable) n'a donc pu être atteint qu'en inventant une tondeuse sur laquelle on pouvait faire varier la distance entre la ligne de coupe 6 et la surface d'appui du patin coudé 16 selon une trajectoire courbe et de préférence selon un mouvement de rotation autour d'un axe 12. Cet axe de rotation peut être virtuel, c'est-à-dire se situer en dehors de la tondeuse, ou être matérialisé par une charnière sur la tondeuse.The objective of bringing together the two known advantages of the state of the art (telescopic flat pad with switchable bent pad) could therefore only be achieved by inventing a mower on which the distance between the line of section 6 and the bearing surface of the elbow pad 16 in a curved path and preferably in a rotational movement about an axis 12. This axis of rotation can be virtual, that is to say be outside mower, or be materialized by a hinge on the mower.

Pour atteindre ce but, on a trois possibilités. Soit on adapte la position du patin par rapport à la ligne de coupe, soit on adapte la position du mécanisme de coupe par rapport à la surface d'appui du patin. Ces deux possibilités sont illustrées dans les figures. Une troisième possibilité est de faire varier à la fois la position du patin 16 et celle du mécanisme de coupe 8. Cette possibilité n'est pas représentée ici mais fait partie intégrante de l'invention.To achieve this goal, we have three possibilities. Either adjust the position of the pad relative to the cutting line, or adapt the position of the cutting mechanism relative to the bearing surface of the pad. These two possibilities are illustrated in the figures. A third possibility is to vary both the position of the pad 16 and that of the cutting mechanism 8. This possibility is not shown here but is an integral part of the invention.

Le maintien d'une certaine liberté de mouvement autour de la ligne de basculement n'a réellement pu se faire qu'en inscrivant le coude de la surface d'appui coudée du patin ou du peigne 16 au sein d'un cercle concentrique 14 autour de la ligne de coupe 6 comme évoqué plus haut.Maintaining a certain freedom of movement around the tilting line could actually be done by inserting the elbow of the angled bearing surface of the pad or the comb 16 within a concentric circle 14 around of the cutting line 6 as mentioned above.

L'expression « globalement inscrit dans le cercle concentrique » signifie inscrit avec une certaine tolérance dans ce cercle concentrique et dans les limites des faisabilités pratiques. Il est évident que pour une longueur de coupe variable de 3 à 18 mm, il faut opter pour une courbure moyenne s'inscrivant le mieux possible dans ce cercle concentrique, sachant que pour une très faible longueur de coupe seule une faible proportion du coude est concernée, alors que pour une plus grande longueur de coupe, une plus grande surface d'appui du patin coudé s'inscrira dans ce cercle.The expression "globally inscribed in the concentric circle" means inscribed with a certain tolerance in this concentric circle and within the limits of practical feasibility. It is obvious that for a variable cutting length of 3 to 18 mm, it is necessary to opt for a mean curvature fitting as best as possible in this concentric circle, knowing that for a very weak cutting length only a small proportion of the elbow is concerned, while for a longer cutting length, a larger bearing surface of the elbow pad will fit in this circle.

Comme évoqué plus haut, seul un déplacement courbe, de préférence autour d'un axe 12 virtuel ou matériel, pouvait assurer le repositionnement correct du patin coudé par rapport au mécanisme de coupe 8 sans perdre l'avantage d'une liberté de mouvement pour lequel ce type de coude a été créé.As mentioned above, only a curved displacement, preferably around a virtual or material axis 12, could ensure the correct repositioning of the bent pad with respect to the cutting mechanism 8 without losing the advantage of a freedom of movement for which this type of elbow was created.

Pour assurer le déplacement autour de cet axe, il fallait connecter le patin 16, le mécanisme de coupe 8 ou les deux à un organe de commande 17. La nature de cette connexion n'a aucune importance et n'importe quel moyen adapté à cette fonction peut convenir. Dans les figures 4, 5, 6, 7 et 8, divers moyens sont représentés schématiquement mais ils ne sont bien entendu pas limitatifs.To ensure the movement around this axis, it was necessary to connect the shoe 16, the cutting mechanism 8 or both to a control member 17. The nature of this connection is of no importance and any means adapted to this function may be suitable. In the figures 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 and 8 various means are shown schematically but they are of course not limiting.

Un mode d'exécution préféré de ce brevet est largement illustré sur les dernières figures où le mouvement autour de l'axe 12 est assuré par un bras 3 qui évolue dans une glissière 4 et qui est commandé par une molette 5. Cette opération peut bien entendu être motorisée et même préprogrammée pour certaines longueurs de coupe.A preferred embodiment of this patent is largely illustrated in the last figures where the movement around the axis 12 is provided by an arm 3 which moves in a slide 4 and which is controlled by a wheel 5. This operation may well heard to be motorized and even preprogrammed for certain cutting lengths.

La tondeuse selon l'invention peut également comporter une graduation sur le patin permettant de régler la longueur de coupe désirée. Ces graduations apparaissent dans les figures 1 à 4 et vont de 3 à 18 mm et de 21 à 36 mm.The mower according to the invention may also include a graduation on the pad to adjust the desired cutting length. These graduations appear in the Figures 1 to 4 and range from 3 to 18 mm and from 21 to 36 mm.

Le patin 16 se trouvant sur son dispositif de guidage peut également être prévu pour être détaché afin d'être remplacé par un patin présentant une autre gamme de longueurs de coupe (voir figure 13).The pad 16 on its guiding device may also be provided to be detached in order to be replaced by a pad having a different range of cutting lengths (see FIG. figure 13 ).
