Description

Haarentfemunqsqerät Haarentfemunqsqerät
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haarentfernungsgerät nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a hair removal device according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein derartiges Haarentfernungsgerät ist beispielsweise aus der WO 2005/102623 A2 bekannt, wobei dieses Dokument einen an sich bekannten Nassrasierer zeigt, an welchen zusätzlich ein elektrisch antreibbarer Trimmer montiert ist. Dieser Trimmer ist verschiebbar oder verschwenkbar am Griff des Nassrasierers befestigt. Der Trimmer kann dabei etwa zwischen einer Lagerungsposition und einer Benutzungsposition bewegt werden, wobei der Trimmer in der Benutzungsposition derart über dem Nassrasierer zu liegen kommt, dass der Nassrasierer bei der Benutzung nicht im Blickfeld des Benutzers liegt.Such a hair removal device is known for example from WO 2005/102623 A2, this document shows a known wet razor, to which additionally an electrically drivable trimmer is mounted. This trimmer is slidably or pivotally attached to the handle of the wet shaver. The trimmer can be moved approximately between a storage position and a use position, wherein the trimmer comes to rest in the use position so above the wet razor that the wet razor is not in the user's field of view during use.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Haarentfernungsgerät der obengenannten Art weiter zu bilden, sodass die Benutzbarkeit des kombinierten Gerätes aus Nassrasierer und Trimmer verbessert wird.The invention has for its object to further develop a hair removal device of the above type, so that the usability of the combined wet shaver and trimmer device is improved.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ermöglicht den gemeinsamen Einsatz eines Trimmers und einer an einem bewegbaren Tragelement angeordneten Nassrasiereinheit (die mindestens eine scharfkantige Rasierklinge aufweist), sodass eine hygienische und ästhetisch wirkende Haarentfernung in einem einzigen Benutzungsakt ermöglicht wird. Der Trimmer hat mindestens zwei relativ zueinander antreibbare, jeweils Zahnreihen aufweisende Scherteile und schneidet (bzw. schert) dabei die langen Körperhaare zuerst kurz oberhalb der Haut ab und die Nassrasiereinheit entfernt die kurz abgeschnittenen Haare gründlich bis auf die Haut. Der Trimmer ist insbesondere geeignet für ein Trimmen von feuchten oder mit Rasierlotion oder Rasierschaum bedeckten Haaren und ist insbesondere waschbar ausgestaltet. Die Nassrasiereinheit weist wenigstens eine scharfkantige Rasierklinge auf und ist insbesondere geeignet, feuchte bzw. mit Rasierschaum oder Rasierlotion bedeckte Haare zu rasieren. Die Nassrasiereinheit kann dabei mittels des Tragelementes in eine Lagerungsposition, in der insbesondere die scharfkantige Rasierklinge vor einem unbeabsichtigten Kontakt mit der Haut geschützt angeordnet ist, gebracht werden, was eine Benutzung des Gerätes erleichtert gegenüber Geräten, wie sie aus der WO 2005/102623 A2 bekannt sind, wo die Nassrasiereinheit keine solche Lagerungsposition aufweist, sondern immer insoweit exponiert steht, dass sie mit der Haut des Benutzers in Kontakt kommen könnte und dann schmerzhaft die Haut des Benutzers einschneiden kann. Die geschützte Position ist insbesondere dadurch ausgezeichnet, dass die mindestens eine Rasierklinge der Nassrasiereinheit in der Lagerungsposition von dem Gehäuse des Haarentfernungsgerätes verdeckt ist und/oder dass bei Tangenten, die an das Gehäuse des Haarentfernungsgerätes und die Außenkontur der Nassrasiereinheit angelegt werden, die scharfkantige Rasierklinge innerhalb der durch die Tangenten gebildeten Umhüllenden des Haarentfernungsgerätes liegt, sodass ein Berühren der scharfkantigen Rasierklinge nur durch bewusstes Hineingreifen in den Zwischenraum zwischen Gehäuse des Haarentfernungsgerätes und der Nassrasiereinheit erreicht werden kann. Die Nassrasiereinheit hat weiterhin eine Benutzungsposition, in der die Nassrasiereinheit in Benutzungsrichtung hinter dem Trimmer angeordnet ist. Da es bei Body-Grooming- Geräten ein Ziel ist, eine ästhetische wirkende, vollständige Haarentfernung zu erreichen, erleichtert und verbessert eine solche Benutzungsposition der Nassrasiereinheit die Benutzung des Gerätes, da die gewünschte vollständige Haarentfernung durch Benutzung in einem Zug erreicht werden kann. In der Benutzungsposition ist die Nassrasiereinheit so angeordnet, dass die Vorderkante der scharfkantigen Rasierklinge in einer Ebene mit der Vorderkante des Trimmerkamms des Trimmers liegt oder bei der Benutzung zu liegen kommt (insbesondere bei einer schwenkbar gelagerten Nassrasiereinheit liegt die Rasierklinge ggf. erst dann optimal, wenn durch den Andruck auf die Haut eine gewisse Schwenkbewegung durchgeführt worden ist) bzw. - falls der Trimmer einen Schutzaufsatz derart hat, dass die Trimmerzähne selbst nicht mit der Haut des Benutzers in Berührung kommen - in einer E- bene mit der Vorderkante des Schutzaufsatzes des Trimmerkamms.The solution according to the invention enables the common use of a trimmer and a wet shaving unit (which has at least one sharp-edged razor blade) arranged on a movable support element, so that hygienic and aesthetically pleasing hair removal is made possible in a single use. The trimmer has at least two shearing parts which can be driven relative to each other and which in each case cuts (or shears) the long body hairs just above the skin and the wet shaving unit removes the short-cut hairs thoroughly down to the skin. The trimmer is particularly suitable for trimming wet hair or shaving lotion or shaving cream covered hair, and is particularly designed to be washable. The wet shaving unit has at least one sharp-edged razor blade and is particularly suitable for shaving wet hair or shaving lotion covered with shaving lotion. The wet shaver unit can be brought by means of the support element into a storage position in which in particular the sharp-edged razor blade is protected from accidental contact with the skin, which facilitates use of the device over devices, as known from WO 2005/102623 A2 are where the wet shaving unit has no such storage position, but is always exposed so far, that it could come into contact with the skin of the user and then painfully cut the user's skin. The protected position is particularly distinguished in that the at least one razor blade of the wet shaving unit is concealed in the storage position of the housing of the hair removal device and / or that in tangents, which are applied to the housing of the hair removal device and the outer contour of the wet shaver, the sharp-edged razor blade within the sheath formed by the tangents of the hair removal device, so that a touch of the sharp-edged razor blade can only be achieved by deliberate reaching into the space between the housing of the hair removal device and the wet shaver unit. The wet shaver unit further has a use position in which the wet shaver unit is disposed in the direction of use behind the trimmer. Since a goal in body grooming devices is to achieve aesthetically pleasing complete hair removal, such use position of the wet shaving unit facilitates and improves the use of the device since the desired complete hair removal can be achieved by use in one go. In the use position, the wet shaving unit is arranged so that the front edge of the sharp-edged razor blade lies in a plane with the front edge of the trimmer comb of the trimmer or comes to rest in use (especially with a pivotally mounted wet shaving unit, the razor blade is optimal only when by the pressure on the skin a certain pivoting movement has been carried out) or - if the trimmer has a protective attachment such that the trimmer teeth themselves do not come into contact with the skin of the user - in an ebene with the front edge of the protective attachment of Trimmerkamms ,
Das Tragelement, auf dem die Nassrasiereinheit angeordnet ist, ist beispielsweise verschiebbar am Gehäuse geführt, wobei die Verschiebung geradlinig und/oder entlang einer Kurve erfolgen kann. Dies ermöglicht eine einfache Positionierung durch den Benutzer, wobei durch entsprechende entlang des Verschiebeweges angeordnete Rastelemente die Positionierung in unterschiedliche Betriebsstellungen noch vereinfacht werden kann (die Lagerungsposition und die Benutzungsposition sind Betriebstellungen; weitere Betriebsstellungen sind möglich, etwa eine Betriebsstellung, in der die Nassrasiereinheit über den Trimmer hinausragt (die Trimmereinheit befindet sich dann in einer exponierten Stellung), sodass eine reine Nassrasur ohne zusätzlich vorlaufenden Trimmer ermöglicht wird). Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist auch eine schwenkbare Lagerung des Tragelementes am Gehäuse möglich, wodurch weitere Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für das Positionieren der Nassrasiereinheit geschaffen werden. So könnte die Nassrasiereinheit aus der Lagerungsposition durch Schwenkbewegung in die Benutzungsposition gebracht werden. Gemäß einer besonders einfachen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Trimmer ortsfest am Gehäuse angeordnet. Es ist jedoch zur Erhöhung des Rasurkomforts bzw. in Bezug auf eine bessere Anpassung des Trimmers an die Kontur der zu rasierenden Hautfläche von Vorteil, wenn der Trimmer schwimmend am Gehäuse gelagert ist. Eine solche Ausführung ermöglicht das Abtauchen des Trimmers in Abhängigkeit vom Anpreßdruck, der vom Benutzer aufgebracht wird, gegen eine elastische Vorspannung des Trimmers.The support element on which the wet shaver unit is arranged, for example, slidably guided on the housing, wherein the displacement can be rectilinear and / or along a curve. This allows easy positioning by the user, whereby positioning in different operating positions can be further simplified by means of corresponding latching elements arranged along the displacement path (the storage position and the use position are operating positions, further operating positions are possible, for example an operating position in which the wet shaving unit moves over) Trimmer protrudes (the trimmer unit is then in an exposed position), so that a pure wet shaving without additional leading trimmer is possible). Alternatively or additionally, a pivotable mounting of the support element on the housing is possible, whereby further design options for the positioning of the wet shaving unit are provided. Thus, the wet shaving unit could be brought from the storage position by pivoting movement in the use position. According to a particularly simple embodiment of the invention, the trimmer is arranged stationary on the housing. However, it is to increase the shaving comfort or in relation to a better adaptation of the trimmer to the contour of the skin surface to be shaved advantageous if the trimmer is floatingly mounted on the housing. Such an embodiment allows the trimmer to descend in response to the contact pressure applied by the user against resilient tensioning of the trimmer.
Um eine gleichzeitige Benutzung von Trimmer und Nassrasiereinheit (in der Benutzungsposition) zu ermöglichen, werden die Zahnspitzen der Zahnreihen des Trimmers im Wesentlichen in die gleich Richtung ausgerichtet wie die Schneidkante der Rasierklinge. Der Trimmer ist dabei derart angeordnet, dass er, in Richtung des Rasierzuges (in Benutzungsrichtung) gesehen, vor der Schneidkante der Rasierklinge liegt, wodurch mittels des Trimmers eine Grobrasur bzw. ein Vorkürzen der Haare erfolgt, und die Rasierklinge ein restloses Ausrasieren der verbleibenden Haare bewirkt.To allow simultaneous use of the trimmer and wet shaver unit (in the use position), the tooth tips of the rows of teeth of the trimmer are aligned substantially in the same direction as the cutting edge of the razor blade. The trimmer is arranged such that it, in the direction of the Rasierzuges (in the direction of use), lies in front of the cutting edge of the razor blade, whereby by means of the trimmer is a coarse shaving or a foreshortening of the hair, and the razor blade a complete shaving of the remaining hair causes.
Zur optimalen Anpassung auch der Nassrasiereinheit an die Kontur der zu rasierenden Haut ist es bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die Nassrasiereinheit schwenkbar und/oder schwimmend am Tragelement gelagert ist. Ist etwa der Trimmer schwimmend gelagert, dann kann die Nassrasiereinheit durch eine ebenfalls schwimmende Lagerung dem Abtauchen des Trimmers folgen und so immer in einer optimalen Nutzungsposition zu liegen kommen.For optimal adaptation of the wet shaving unit to the contour of the skin to be shaved, it is provided in a further advantageous embodiment of the invention that the wet shaving unit is mounted pivotably and / or floating on the support element. If, for example, the trimmer is floating, then the wet shaver unit can also follow the descent of the trimmer by means of a likewise floating support and thus always come to rest in an optimum utilization position.
Eine insbesondere auf die Rasiergründlichkeit optimierte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Nassrasiereinheit mehrere Rasierklingen aufweist, die insbesondere an einem gemeinsamen Träger angeordnet sind. Diese an sich bekannte Mehrklingenanordnung bewirkt eine gründlichere Rasur bei gleicher Anzahl von Rasierzügen. Bei der gleichzeitigen Benutzung von Trimmer und Nassrasiereinheit (Rasur in einem Zug) liegen dann die Vorderkanten aller Rasierklingen in einer Ebene mit der Vorderkante des Trimmerkamms bzw. mit der Vorderkante eines Schutzaufsatzes des Trimmerkamms bzw. die Vorderkanten der Rasierklingen kommen bei der Benutzung - etwa durch eine schwenkbare und/oder schwimmende Lagerung - mit der Vorderkante des Trimmers in einer Ebene zu liegen.An embodiment of the invention optimized in particular for shaving efficiency provides that the wet shaving unit has a plurality of razor blades, which are arranged in particular on a common carrier. This per se known multi-blade arrangement causes a more thorough shave with the same number of Rasierzügen. When using the trimmer and wet shaving unit at the same time (shaving in one go), the leading edges of all razor blades lie in one plane with the front edge of the trimmer comb or with the front edge of a trimmer comb protective attachment or the front edges of the razor blades come through in use - for example a pivoting and / or floating bearing - to lie in one plane with the front edge of the trimmer.
In Verbindung mit einem dem Trimmer zugeordneten Distanzkamm, an sich beispielsweise aus der WO 00/37225 A1 bekannt, lässt sich das erfindungsgemäße Haarentfernungsgerät nicht nur zum Ausrasieren sondern auch zum Kürzen von Haaren auf eine vorgewählte Län- ge verwenden. Hierzu ist eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung mit einer Befestigungsmöglichkeit für einen solchen Distanzkamm versehen. Durch den Distanzkamm wird ein bestimmter Abstand zwischen der zu rasierenden Haut und dem Trimmer festgelegt. Dieser Abstand bestimmt dann die Länge der verbleibenden Haare. Der Distanzkamm kann in an sich bekannter Weise verstellbar ausgebildet sein, so dass der Benutzer mit einem einzigen Distanzkamm unterschiedliche Abstände und damit unterschiedliche verbleibende Haarlängen einstellen kann. Es ist allerdings auch möglich, die verbleibende Haarlänge dadurch einzustellen, indem aus einem Satz von Distanzkämmen unterschiedlicher Längen ein Distanzkamm mit gewünschter Länge ausgewählt wird und dieser dann am Gehäuse des Haarentfernungsgerätes befestigt wird.In connection with a distance comb assigned to the trimmer, known per se, for example, from WO 00/37225 A1, the hair removal device according to the invention can be used not only for shaving but also for shortening hair to a preselected length. ge use. For this purpose, an embodiment of the invention is provided with a mounting option for such a spacer comb. The distance comb determines a certain distance between the skin to be shaved and the trimmer. This distance then determines the length of the remaining hair. The spacer comb can be designed to be adjustable in a manner known per se, so that the user can set different distances and thus different remaining hair lengths with a single spacer comb. However, it is also possible to adjust the remaining hair length by a spacer comb of desired length is selected from a set of distance combs of different lengths and this is then attached to the housing of the hair removal device.
In einer Ausführungsform des Haarentfernungsgerätes wird durch den Distanzkamm die Nassrasiereinheit komplett abgedeckt, so dass ein unerwünschtes Kürzen der Haare und insbesondere eine Verletzungsgefahr durch die Nassrasiereinheit verhindert wird (die Nassrasiereinheit könnte unbeabsichtigt aus der Lagerungsposition verschoben werden, was durch den Distanzkamm aber verhindert wird). Auch wenn die Rasierklinge der Nassrasiereinheit in der Lagerungsposition vor einem unbeabsichtigten Hautkontakt geschützt angeordnet ist, so können doch Haare mit der Rasierklinge in Berührung kommen. Auch dies wird durch die hier vorgeschlagene Ausführungsform des Distanzkamms verhindert.In one embodiment of the hair removal device, the wet razor unit is completely covered by the spacer comb, so that unwanted shortening of the hair and in particular a risk of injury by the wet shaver unit is prevented (the wet shaver unit could be moved unintentionally out of the storage position, which is prevented by the spacer comb). Even if the razor blade of the wet shaver unit in the storage position is protected from inadvertent skin contact, hair may come in contact with the razor blade. This is also prevented by the here proposed embodiment of the spacer comb.

Fig. 7 den Trimmer gemäß Fig. 1 in vergrößerter Darstellung.Fig. 7 shows the trimmer of FIG. 1 in an enlarged view.
Das in Fig. 1 als Seitenansicht eines Schnittes dargestellte Haarentfernungsgerät besitzt ein Gehäuse 1 , das einen Elektromotor 2 und einen als elektrischen Akkumulator 3 ausgeführten elektrischen Energiespeicher aufnimmt. Am oberen Endabschnitt 5 des länglich ausgeführten Gehäuses 1 ist ein Trimmer 4 angeordnet, dessen Schneidelemente in Richtung der Gehäusevorderseite 6 weisen. In Fig. 7 ist der Trimmer, der in an sich bekannter Weise ausgebildet ist, vergrößert dargestellt. Der Trimmer 4 setzt sich aus einem feststehenden Trimmerkamm 7 und einer angetriebenen Trimmerklinge 8 zusammen, wobei die Trimmerklinge 8 unterhalb des Trimmerkammes angeordnet ist. Sowohl der Trimmerkamm 7 als auch die Trimmerklinge 8 sind kammförmig mit einer Vielzahl von reihenförmig hintereinander angeordneten Zinken ausgebildet, wobei die Zinken gemäß der Figur nach links, d.h. in Richtung der Gehäusevorderseite 6 hin ausgerichtet sind. Während der Trimmerkamm 7 gehäusefest montiert ist, ist die parallel dazu verlaufende Trimmerklinge 8 am Ende eines Schwinghebels 9 befestigt, welcher schwenkbar um ein Drehlager 10, welches eine Drehachse 11 definiert, an der Innenseite des Gehäusevorderteiles 6 gelagert ist. An dem der Trimmerklinge 8 gegenüberliegenden Ende des Schwinghebels 9 ist ein Mitnehmer 12 ausgebildet, in welchen der Antriebsstift 13 eingreift, welcher an einer Schwingbrücke 14 angeformt ist (siehe Fig. 1 ). In diese Schwingbrücke 14 greift wiederum der Exzenter 15 ein, welcher an der rotierend antreibbaren Antriebswelle 16 des Elektromotors 2 angeordnet ist. Die Schwingbrücke 14 erzeugt aus der rotierenden Bewegung der Antriebswelle 16 eine lineare Oszillationsbewegung, welche senkrecht zur Zeichenebene verläuft. Ein im Gehäusevorderteil 6 angeordneter Ein-/Ausschalter 17 dient dem Verbinden bzw. Trennen des Elektromotors 2 mit bzw. von der elektrischen Energieversorgung durch den Akkumulator 3. Bei eingeschaltetem Elektromotor 2 erzeugt die rotierende Antriebswelle 16 in Verbindung mit dem Exzenter 15 die Oszillationsbewegung der Schwingbrücke 14, welche über den Antriebsstift 13 auf den Mitnehmer 12 am Schwinghebel 9 übertragen wird. Dies wiederum führt zu einer oszillierenden Schwenkbewegung des Schwinghebels 9 um die Drehachse 11 und damit zu einer oszillierenden Verschiebung der Trimmerklinge 8 relativ zum Trimmerkamm 7, so dass Haare, die sich zwischen den Zinken dieses Schersystems befinden, abgeschert werden.The hair removal device shown in Fig. 1 as a side view of a section has a housing 1, which receives an electric motor 2 and a designed as an electric accumulator 3 electrical energy storage. At the upper end portion 5 of the elongated housing 1, a trimmer 4 is arranged, the cutting elements facing in the direction of the front of the housing 6. In Fig. 7, the trimmer, which is formed in a conventional manner, shown enlarged. The trimmer 4 is composed of a fixed trimmer comb 7 and a driven trimmer blade 8, wherein the trimmer blade 8 is arranged below the Trimmerkammes. Both the trimmer comb 7 and the trimmer blade 8 are comb-shaped with a plurality of rows arranged in succession tines, the tines are aligned according to the figure to the left, ie in the direction of the front of the housing 6 out. While the trimmer comb 7 is fixed to the housing, the trimmer blade 8 extending parallel thereto is fastened to the end of a rocking lever 9, which is mounted pivotably about a pivot bearing 10 which defines a rotation axis 11 on the inside of the housing front part 6. At the opposite end of the trimmer blade 8 of the rocker arm 9, a driver 12 is formed, in which the drive pin 13 engages, which is integrally formed on a swing bridge 14 (see Fig. 1). In turn, the eccentric 15 engages in this swing bridge 14, which is arranged on the rotatably drivable drive shaft 16 of the electric motor 2. The swing bridge 14 generates from the rotary motion of the drive shaft 16 a linear oscillation movement which is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. An arranged in the front housing part 6 on / off switch 17 is used to connect or disconnect the electric motor 2 with or from the electrical power supply through the accumulator 3. When the electric motor 2, the rotating drive shaft 16 generates in conjunction with the eccentric 15, the oscillation of the swing bridge 14, which is transmitted via the drive pin 13 on the driver 12 on the rocker arm 9. This in turn leads to an oscillating pivotal movement of the rocker arm 9 about the axis of rotation 11 and thus to an oscillating displacement of the trimmer blade 8 relative to the trimmer comb 7, so that hair, which are located between the tines of this shear system, sheared off.
Auf der Gehäuserückseite 18 ist ein als Schieber ausgebildetes Tragelement 19 vertikal verschiebbar angeordnet. Hierzu sind auf diesen Teilen zeichnerisch nicht dargestellte Führungen angeordnet. Fig. 1 zeigt das Tragelement 19 in einer unteren Betriebsstellung. Am oberen Ende des Tragelementes 19 ist eine Aufnahme 20 für eine Nassrasiereinheit 21 angeordnet. Die Aufnahme 20 ermöglicht ein Aufstecken bzw. Lösen der Nassrasiereinheit auf der hier mehrere scharfkantige Rasierklingen 22 angeordnet sind. Die Aufnahme 20 weist einen Auslöseknopf 23 mit einem nach oben gerichteten Stößel 24 auf. Zum Lösen der in die Aufnahme 20 eingerasteten Nassrasiereinheit 21 wird der Auslöseknopf 23 nach oben bewegt, so dass der Stößel 24 die Nassrasiereinheit 21 beaufschlagt und aus der Aufnahme 20 heraus stößt. Alternativ zur gezeigten Ausführungsform kann anstatt der hier gezeigten Realisierung der Nassrasiereinheit 21 als Klingenträger (auch Klingenkartusche genannt) auf dem Tragelement 19 auch eine einzelne scharfkantige Rasierklinge 22 als Nassrasiereinheit 21 angeordnet sein. An dem Tragelement 19 ist die Nassrasiereinheit 21 also in der unteren Betriebsstellung in einer Lagerungsposition, wo die scharfkantige Rasierklinge 22 derart vor Hautkontakt verdeckt ist, dass es bei einer unvorsichtigen Benutzungsweise (Verkippen des Haarentfernungsgerätes gegen die Haut) des Gerätes nicht zu Verletzungen der Haut kommen kann. Die Lagerungsposition muss keine Position sein, bei der ein Hautkontakt mit der Rasierklinge überhaupt nicht erzwungen werden kann (etwa durch ein bewuss- tes Hineinfahren eines Fingers in den Raum zwischen Nassrasiereinheit und Rückwand des Trimmergehäuses 1 ), sondern ist eine Position, in der ein Hautkontakt bei üblichem Verwenden des Haarentfernungsgerätes typischerweise nicht auftritt. Insbesondere liegt die scharfkantige Rasierklinge 22 innerhalb einer Umhüllenden des Haarentfernungsgerätes, die durch Tangenten an dem Gehäuse 1 und der Außenkontur der Nassrasiereinheit 21 gebildet wird. Dann kann durch ein Verkippen des Haarentfernungsgerätes auf einer bzgl. des Abstandes zwischen Gehäuse 1 und Nassrasiereinheit 21 ebenen Hautfläche die Haut nicht in Berührung mit der scharfkantigen Rasierklinge kommen.On the rear side of the housing 18 designed as a slider support element 19 is arranged vertically displaceable. For this purpose, not shown guides are arranged on these parts drawing. Fig. 1 shows the support member 19 in a lower operating position. At the upper end of the support element 19, a receptacle 20 for a wet shaver unit 21 is arranged. The receptacle 20 allows a plugging or loosening of the wet shaver unit on which several sharp-edged razor blades 22 are arranged here. The receptacle 20 has a release button 23 with an upwardly directed plunger 24. For releasing the wet shaving unit 21 engaged in the receptacle 20, the release button 23 is moved upwards, so that the plunger 24 acts on the wet shaving unit 21 and pushes it out of the receptacle 20. As an alternative to the embodiment shown, instead of the realization of the wet shaving unit 21 shown here as a blade carrier (also called a blade cartridge), a single sharp-edged razor blade 22 may also be arranged on the support element 19 as a wet shaving unit 21. On the support element 19, the wet shaver unit 21 is thus in the lower operating position in a storage position where the sharp-edged razor blade 22 is covered from skin contact, that there is no injury to the skin in a careless use (tilting the hair removal device against the skin) of the device can. The storage position need not be a position where skin contact with the razor blade can not be forced at all (such as by a deliberate insertion of a finger into the space between the wet shaver unit and the rear wall of the trimmer housing 1), but is a position in which skin contact occurs typically does not occur with conventional use of the hair removal device. In particular, the sharp-edged razor blade 22 lies within an envelope of the hair removal device, which is formed by tangents to the housing 1 and the outer contour of the wet shaving unit 21. Then, by tilting the hair removal device on a respect. The distance between the housing 1 and wet shaving unit 21 flat skin surface skin does not come into contact with the sharp-edged razor blade.
Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Betriebsstellung des Tragelementes 19 bzw. der Rasierklingen 22 stellt also eine Lagerungsposition für die Nassrasiereinheit dar, in welcher sich die Rasierklingen 22 geschützt hinter dem oberen Endabschnitt 5 des Gehäuses 1 befinden. In dieser Lagerungsposition kann zum Entfernen oder Trimmen der Haare der Trimmer 4 allein eingesetzt werden. Fig. 2 zeigt das erfindungsgemäße Haarentfernungsgerät mit in Lagerungsposition befindlichen Rasierklingen, also so wie es bereits in Fig. 1 gezeigt ist, jedoch ist auf den oberen Endabschnitt 5 ein Distanzkamm 25 aufgesetzt. Der Distanzkamm wird mittels an sich bekannter Halterungs- und/oder Führungselemente am Haarentfernungsgerät insbesondere verschiebbar gelagert. Durch den Distanzkamm wird in an sich bekannter Weise ein Mindestabstand zwischen dem Trimmer 4 und der zu rasierenden Haut definiert, was zur Folge hat, dass beim Einsatz des Trimmers 4 mit aufgesetztem Distanzkamm 25 lediglich ein Kürzen der Haare auf ein bestimmtes Maß erfolgt, jedoch kein vollständiges Ausrasieren ermöglicht ist. Die zu kürzenden Haare werden dem Trimmer 4 durch Schlitze 26 zugeführt, welche parallel zu der Erstreckung der Zinken des Trimmerkammes 7 bzw. der Trimmerklinge 8 verlaufen und im vorderen Teil des Distanzkammes 25 angeordnet sind. Der hintere Teil 27 des Distanzkammes 25 kann dabei die Nassrasiereinheit 21 und damit die scharfkantigen Rasierklingen 22 abdecken, so dass diese nicht in Kontakt mit den Haaren auf der zu bearbeitenden Hautfläche kommen können.The operating position of the support element 19 or of the razor blades 22 illustrated in FIG. 1 thus represents a storage position for the wet shaver unit, in which the razor blades 22 are protected behind the upper end section 5 of the housing 1. In this storage position, the trimmer 4 can be used alone to remove or trim the hair. Fig. 2 shows the hair removal device according to the invention with razor blades in the storage position, that is, as it is already shown in Fig. 1, but on the upper end portion 5, a spacer comb 25 is placed. The spacer comb is mounted in particular displaceable by means of per se known mounting and / or guide elements on the hair removal device. By the distance comb a minimum distance between the trimmer 4 and the skin to be shaved is defined in a conventional manner, with the result that when using the trimmer 4 with attached distance comb 25 is only a shortening of the hair to a certain extent, but no complete shaving is possible. The hairs to be shortened are fed to the trimmer 4 through slots 26 which run parallel to the extension of the tines of the trimmer comb 7 or of the trimmer blade 8 and are arranged in the front part of the spacer comb 25. The rear part 27 of the spacer comb 25 can cover the wet shaving unit 21 and thus the sharp-edged razor blades 22, so that they can not come into contact with the hair on the skin surface to be processed.
Fig. 3 zeigt das Haarentfernungsgerät in einem Betriebszustand, bei welchem sich das Tragelement 19 in einer weiteren Position, nämlich einer maximalen Ausfahrposition, also ganz nach oben herausgefahren, befindet. Diese Position des Tragelementes 19 wird vom Benutzer dann eingestellt, wenn er lediglich die Nassrasiereinheit 21 , zur (Nass-)Rasur verwenden will. In dieser hoch ausgefahrenen Position befindet sich die Nassrasiereinheit so weit entfernt vom Trimmer 4, dass von diesem keine Gefahr in Bezug auf versehentliches Kratzen der Haut während des Einsatzes der Rasierklingen 22 mehr ausgehen kann. Durch entsprechende elektrische oder mechanische Mittel, welche hier zeichnerisch nicht ausgeführt sind, kann auch dafür gesorgt werden, dass in der maximal ausgefahrenen Position des Tragelementes 19 ein Einschalten des Elektromotores 2 nicht möglich ist. Zur bestmöglichen Anpassung der Rasierklingen 22 an die Kontur der zu rasierenden Haut ist die Nassrasiereinheit 21 schwenkbar um eine Schwenkachse 28 am Schieber 19 bzw. an der Aufnahme 20 gelagert.Fig. 3 shows the hair removal device in an operating condition in which the support member 19 is in a further position, namely a maximum extended position, so moved out completely upwards. This position of the support element 19 is set by the user when he wants to use only the wet shaving unit 21, for (wet) shaving. In this highly extended position, the wet shaver unit is so far away from the trimmer 4 that it can no longer pose a risk of accidental scratching of the skin during use of the razor blades 22. By appropriate electrical or mechanical means, which are not shown here drawing, it can also be ensured that in the maximum extended position of the support element 19, a switching on of the electric motor 2 is not possible. For the best possible adaptation of the razor blades 22 to the contour of the skin to be shaved, the wet shaving unit 21 is mounted pivotably about a pivot axis 28 on the slide 19 or on the receptacle 20.
Die Figuren 4 bis 6 zeigen das erfindungsgemäße Haarentfernungsgerät mit dem Tragelement 19 in einer Benutzungsposition, die den gleichzeitigen Einsatz sowohl des Trimmers 4 als auch der Nassrasiereinheit 21 für eine so genannte „Kombirasur" ermöglicht. Wird nun das Haarentfernungsgerät in der Benutzungsposition des Tragelementes 19, wie es in Fig. 4 dargestellt ist, in der Benutzungsrichtung, also gemäß dem Pfeil P, über die zu rasierende Hautfläche gezogen, so werden die dort vorhandenen Haare zunächst durch den in Benutzungsrichtung vorlaufenden Trimmer 4 gekürzt (je nach Trimmergeometrie bleiben typi- scherweise Haare mit einer Länge von weniger als einem Millimeter auf der Haut stehen) und danach noch zurückbleibende Haare werden anschließend während desselben Zuges durch die die Nassrasiereinheit gründlich ausrasiert. Geräte, wie sie aus der WO 2005/102623 A2 bekannt sind, bieten aufgrund der Anordnung des Trimmers auf dem Rücken der Nassrasiereinheit weder die Möglichkeit, die mindestens eine scharfkantige Rasierklinge der Nassrasiereinheit in einer Lagerungsposition vor ungewolltem Hautkontakt zu schützen, noch die Möglichkeit der Rasur in einem Zug. So ist eine Rasur in einem Zug auch bei der WO 2005/102623 A2 nicht vorgesehen, sondern nur eine jeweils einzelne Verwendung entweder des Nassrasierers oder des Trimmers. Die besondere Anordnung, wie sie hier vorgeschlagen wird, bietet allerdings die Möglichkeit der Rasur in einem Zug, da der Trimmer der Nassrasiereinheit in Benutzungsrichtung vorläuft und so der Trimmer zuerst auch lange Haare bis knapp über der Haut abschneiden kann, bevor dann die Nassrasiereinheit die Aufgabe übernimmt, die übrig gebliebenen, kurzen Haare, gründlich abzurasieren, wie es der Benutzer von einer Nassrasur her kennt. Dadurch, dass der Trimmer die Haare im voran laufenden Haarentfernungsvorgang zuerst kürzt, hat die Nassrasiereinheit nur die übliche Aufgäbe zu bewältigen, nämlich kurze Haare abzurasieren, sodass sich ein ästhetisch sauberes Rasurergebnis einstellt. Hierbei muss nicht, wie bei bekannten Kombinationen von Nassrasierern und Trimmern, zweimal über den zu rasierenden Hautabschnitt gefahren werden, um erst mit dem Trimmer die langen Haare zu kürzen und dann mit der Nassrasiereinheit die gekürzten Haare abzurasieren. Die vorgeschlagene Anordnung ist besonders für die Körperrasur sinnvoll. Figures 4 to 6 show the hair removal device according to the invention with the support element 19 in a use position which allows the simultaneous use of both the trimmer 4 and the wet shaving unit 21 for a so-called "combination shave." If the hair removal device is now in the use position of the support element 19, As shown in FIG. 4, in the direction of use, that is to say in accordance with the arrow P, pulled over the skin surface to be shaved, the hair present there is first of all shortened by the trimmer 4 leading in the direction of use (depending on the geometry of the trimmer, hair with a length of less than a millimeter on the skin) and then remaining hair are then thoroughly shaved during the same train through the wet shaver. Devices known from WO 2005/102623 A2, due to the arrangement of the trimmer on the back of the wet shaver unit, neither offer the possibility of protecting the at least one sharp-edged razor blade of the wet shaving unit against unwanted skin contact in a storage position nor the possibility of shaving in a train. So a shave in a train is also not provided in WO 2005/102623 A2, but only a single use of either the wet razor or the trimmer. The special arrangement, as proposed here, however, offers the possibility of shaving in one go, since the trimmer of the wet shaving unit runs in the direction of use and so the trimmer can first cut long hair to just above the skin before then the wet shaving unit the task takes care to shave off the remaining short hair thoroughly, as the user knows from a wet shave. The fact that the trimmer first shortens the hair in the preceding hair removal process, the wet shaving unit has to cope only with the usual task, namely shave off short hair, so that sets an aesthetically clean shaving result. It is not necessary, as with known combinations of wet shavers and trimmers, to travel twice over the section of the skin to be shaved in order to shorten the long hair first with the trimmer and then shave off the shortened hair with the wet shaver unit. The proposed arrangement is particularly useful for the body shave.
