Description

L'invention concerne un rasoir manuel selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The invention relates to a manual razor according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ces rasoirs classiques ont pour inconvénient que la tête de rasage se trouve en position perpendiculaire par rapport au manche. Or, cela est assez encombrant, notamment lorsque l'on voyage. À ce problème d'encombrement du rasoir s'ajoute la nécessité d'emporter un gel ou une mousse à raser qui se présente en général sous la forme d'un flacon pressurisé.These conventional razors have the disadvantage that the shaving head is in a position perpendicular to the handle. This is rather cumbersome, especially when traveling. To this problem of clutter of the razor is added the need to carry a gel or a shaving foam which is generally in the form of a pressurized bottle.

On connaît des documents US 4,977,669 A , US 5,269,062 A et US 4,841,635 des rasoirs de voyage dont la tête peut pivoter d'une position d'une position d'utilisation dans une position de rangement parallèle au manche. L'ensemble du dispositif est dimensionné de telle sorte qu'en position de rangement, il soit possible d'enfermer la lame dans un capuchon venant prendre appui sur le manche du rasoir. Le pivotement de la lame doit se faire manuellement, ce qui n'est pas sans danger.Documents are known US 4,977,669 A , US 5,269,062A and US 4,841,635 travel razors whose head can pivot from a position of a use position to a storage position parallel to the handle. The entire device is dimensioned so that in the storage position, it is possible to lock the blade in a cap resting on the handle of the razor. The pivoting of the blade must be done manually, which is not without danger.

Du document US 5,465,488 A , on connaît un rasoir de voyage présentant une lame pivotante. Des moyens de pivotement sont prévus pour permettre de rabattre la lame sans devoir la toucher. Ces moyens sont constitués d'une part d'un arbre sur l'extrémité duquel est fixé le support de lame à l'aide d'un pivot. Une tringle, parallèle à l'arbre est munie d'un pion pénétrant dans une fente réalisée sur le support de lame, à proximité du pivot. L'arbre et la tringle peuvent être déplacés simultanément pour faire sortir la lame du manche du rasoir. Lorsque le support de lame est sorti, l'arbre continue son mouvement tandis que la tringle est retenue. Il s'en suit un mouvement relatif du pion et du pivot, provoquant le pivotement du support de lame. Pour assurer le mouvement simultané de l'arbre et de la tringle, puis de l'arbre seul, le document propose un double jeu de guides, l'un rectiligne, l'autre hélicoïdal, placés sur deux pièces concentriques différentes. Des pions sur l'arbre et la tringle coopèrent avec ce double jeu de guides. Ce système nécessite un grand nombre de pièces.Of the document US 5,465,488 A a travel razor having a pivoting blade is known. Pivoting means are provided to allow to fold the blade without having to touch it. These means consist on the one hand of a shaft on the end of which is fixed the blade support with a pivot. A rod, parallel to the shaft is provided with a pin penetrating into a slot made on the blade support, near the pivot. The shaft and rod can be moved simultaneously to pull the blade out of the shaver handle. When the blade support is out, the shaft continues its movement while the rod is retained. It follows a relative movement of the pin and the pivot, causing the pivoting of the blade support. To ensure the simultaneous movement of the shaft and the rod, then the single shaft, the document proposes a double set of guides, one rectilinear, the other helical, placed on two different concentric parts. Pawns on the shaft and the rod cooperate with this double set of guides. This system requires a large number of parts.

Le document US 4,083,103 A propose un rasoir dont la lame, placée sur un support incliné par rapport au manche, peut être pivotée pour la mettre dans une position angulaire optimale pour le rasage. Pour cela, l'invention prévoit un système d'engrenage conique permettant de transmettre un mouvement de rotation donné à une molette située en bas du manche à l'axe sur lequel est placé le support de lame. Pour cela, la molette est fixée à la première extrémité d'un arbre dont la deuxième extrémité est munie du premier élément d'un engrenage conique. Le support de lame est lui-même monté sur la première extrémité d'un deuxième arbre dont l'autre extrémité porte le deuxième élément de l'engrenage conique. Pour bloquer la lame dans la position souhaitée, il est prévu une bague de serrage. Ce dispositif nécessitant un grand nombre de pièces, permet à la lame d'être inclinée de 45° par rapport à l'horizontale.The document US 4,083,103 A proposes a razor whose blade, placed on a support inclined relative to the handle, can be pivoted to put it in a position angular optimal for shaving. For this, the invention provides a conical gear system for transmitting a given rotational movement to a wheel located at the bottom of the handle to the axis on which is placed the blade support. For this, the wheel is fixed to the first end of a shaft whose second end is provided with the first element of a bevel gear. The blade support is itself mounted on the first end of a second shaft whose other end carries the second element of the bevel gear. To lock the blade in the desired position, a clamping ring is provided. This device requires a large number of parts, allows the blade to be inclined 45 ° relative to the horizontal.

Étant donné leur complexité, les rasoirs des documents US 5,465,488 A et US 4,083,103 A ne sont pas adaptés pour des rasoirs jetables.Due to their complexity, the razors of documents US 5,465,488 A and US 4,083,103 A are not suitable for disposable razors.

L'objectif de la présente invention est de fournir un rasoir qui puisse être rangé facilement en prenant le moins de place possible. Pour cela, il doit être muni de moyens de pivotement du support de lame afin de ne pas avoir à toucher la lame pour la faire pivoter. Ces moyens de pivotement doivent être simples et économiques à fabriquer tout en étant fiables. Un autre objectif de l'invention est de combiner un rasoir et un aérosol contenant un gel ou une mousse à raser.The object of the present invention is to provide a razor that can be stored easily with the least possible space. For this, it must be provided with pivoting means of the blade holder so as not to have to touch the blade to rotate it. These pivoting means must be simple and economical to manufacture while being reliable. Another object of the invention is to combine a razor and an aerosol containing a gel or a shaving foam.

Cet objectif est atteint conformément à l'invention du fait que les moyens de pivotement peuvent être constitués d'une crémaillère placée sur un bouton coulissant situé sur le manche et d'une roue dentée solidaire de la tête, la roue dentée et la crémaillère étant dimensionnées et placées pour coopérer ensemble. Ce système peut être facilement et économiquement fabriqué et ne nécessite pas de nombreuses étapes de montage.This object is achieved according to the invention because the pivoting means can consist of a rack placed on a sliding button on the handle and a toothed wheel integral with the head, the toothed wheel and the rack being dimensioned and placed to cooperate together. This system can be easily and economically manufactured and does not require many assembly steps.

Pour diminuer l'encombrement il est préférable de dimensionner les moyens de pivotement et/ou la partie du manche sur laquelle se trouve les moyens de pivotement de telle sorte qu'en position de rangement la projection de la tête suivant l'axe principal du manche se trouve à l'intérieur de la surface définie par la section de la partie la plus large du manche. Il est ainsi possible de munir le rasoir d'un capuchon pouvant recouvrir la tête et la partie du manche portant la tête lorsque celle-ci est en position de rangement.To reduce the size, it is preferable to dimension the pivoting means and / or the portion of the handle on which the pivoting means is located so that in the storage position the projection of the head along the main axis of the handle is within the area defined by the section of the widest part of the handle. It is thus possible to provide the razor with a cap that can cover the head and the portion of the handle carrying the head when the latter is in the storage position.

Dans une variante de réalisation privilégiée de l'invention, le manche du rasoir est muni d'un évidement dans lequel peut être reçu un flacon pressurisé, d'un diffuseur pouvant être placé sur la valve d'un flacon pressurisé et d'un bouton-poussoir pour actionner la valve d'un flacon pressurisé placé dans le manche. Ainsi, on combine le rasoir et le gel ou la mousse à raser dans un seul objet. L'encombrement est diminué d'autant.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the handle of the razor is provided with a recess in which can be received a pressurized bottle, a diffuser can be placed on the valve of a pressurized bottle and a push button to actuate the valve of a pressurized bottle placed in the handle. Thus, the shaver and the gel or the shaving foam are combined in a single object. The size is reduced accordingly.

Pour éviter que l'orifice de sortie du gel ou de la mousse ne soit sali lors du rangement, il est préférable qu'une partie au moins des moyens de pivotement, de préférence le bouton coulissant, recouvre l'orifice du diffuseur lorsque la tête est en position de rangement. On peut également prévoir des moyens pour bloquer le diffuseur et/ou la valve du flacon pressurisé pour éviter un actionnement involontaire de l'aérosol.In order to prevent the exit orifice of the gel or foam from being soiled during storage, it is preferable that at least part of the pivoting means, preferably the sliding knob, covers the orifice of the diffuser when the head is in storage position. It is also possible to provide means for blocking the diffuser and / or the valve of the pressurized bottle to avoid involuntary actuation of the aerosol.

Il est préférable que l'évidement destiné à recevoir un flacon pressurisé soit muni d'un capot pouvant fermer l'évidement. On évite ainsi que le flacon pressurisé ne sorte de son évidement. On peut également prévoir à la place ou en plus du capot des moyens d'encliquetage pour encliqueter le flacon dans l'évidement.It is preferable that the recess for receiving a pressurized bottle is provided with a cover that can close the recess. This prevents the pressurized bottle from coming out of its recess. It may also be provided instead of or in addition to the cover of the latching means for snapping the bottle into the recess.

Le rasoir (1) de l'invention est constitué essentiellement d'une tête (10) portant une lame et d'un manche (20) sur lequel est placée de façon pivotante la tête (10).The shaver (1) of the invention consists essentially of a head (10) carrying a blade and a handle (20) on which is pivotally placed the head (10).

Des moyens de pivotement sont intercalés entre la tête (10) et le manche (20). Ces moyens de pivotement servent à faire passer la tête d'une position d'utilisation, dans laquelle la tête (10) est perpendiculaire au manche (20), à une position de rangement, dans laquelle la tête (10) est parallèle au manche (20).Pivoting means are interposed between the head (10) and the handle (20). These pivoting means serve to move the head from a position of use, in which the head (10) is perpendicular to the handle (20), in a storage position, wherein the head (10) is parallel to the handle (20).

Ces moyens de pivotement sont par exemple constitués d'une crémaillère (21) solidaire d'un bouton coulissant (22) pouvant coulisser le long du manche (20) et d'une roue dentée (11) placée à l'extrémité d'un pivot (12) placé au centre de la tête (10). Le pivot est logé pivotant dans un orifice (23) de même dimension réalisé dans la partie supérieure du manche (20). Des moyens d'encliquetage sont prévus pour retenir ce pivot en place. Ces moyens d'encliquetage sont par exemple constitués d'une gorge réalisée dans l'orifice (23) et d'une nervure correspondante réalisée sur le pivot (13), ou inversement. La crémaillère (21) et la roue dentée (12) sont dimensionnées pour pouvoir coopérer ensemble.These pivoting means consist for example of a rack (21) integral with a sliding knob (22) slidable along the handle (20) and a toothed wheel (11) placed at the end of a pivot (12) placed in the center of the head (10). The pivot is housed pivotally in a hole (23) of the same dimension made in the upper part of the handle (20). Snap-in means are provided to retain this pivot in place. These latching means consist for example of a groove made in the orifice (23) and a corresponding rib formed on the pivot (13), or vice versa. The rack (21) and the toothed wheel (12) are sized to cooperate together.

Afin de pouvoir protéger la lame par un capuchon (40) lorsque le rasoir est rangé, il est préférable que la partie du manche (20) située en dessous de la tête (10) lorsque celle-ci est en position de rangement soit plus large que la projection de la tête avec la lame, les moyens de pivotement et la partie du manche qui porte la tête. Il est ainsi possible de faire pénétrer la partie supérieure du rasoir munie de la tête en position de rangement dans le capuchon et de faire s'appuyer ou s'encliqueter ce dernier sur la partie du manche située en dessous de la tête en position de rangement.In order to protect the blade by a cap (40) when the razor is stored, it is preferable that the part of the handle (20) located below the head (10) when it is in the storage position is wider that the projection of the head with the blade, the pivoting means and the part of the handle which carries the head. It is thus possible to penetrate the upper part of the razor provided with the head in the storage position in the cap and to press or snap the latter on the portion of the handle located below the head in the storage position .

La tête de rasage est constituée essentiellement d'une base (10) au milieu de laquelle est fixé le pivot (13) portant la roue dentée (12) et de deux éléments (13, 14) servant de support à la lame.The shaving head consists essentially of a base (10) in the middle of which is fixed the pivot (13) carrying the toothed wheel (12) and two elements (13, 14) for supporting the blade.

Dans un mode de réalisation privilégié de l'invention, le manche (20) est muni d'un évidement dans lequel peut être introduit un flacon pressurisé (50). Pour cela, le manche est muni d'un diffuseur (24) muni d'un embout (25) destiné à se placer sur la valve de sortie (51) du flacon pressurisé (50), lequel embout se prolonge par un passage de sortie (26) se terminant par un orifice de sortie (27). Pour actionner la valve (51) du flacon (50), le diffuseur (24) est conçu pour former dans sa partie supérieure un bouton-poussoir (28).In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the handle (20) is provided with a recess into which can be introduced a pressurized bottle (50). For this, the handle is provided with a diffuser (24) provided with a nozzle (25) intended to be placed on the outlet valve (51) of the pressurized bottle (50), which end is extended by an outlet passage (26) terminating in an outlet (27). To actuate the valve (51) of the bottle (50), the diffuser (24) is designed to form in its upper part a push button (28).

Dans ce mode de réalisation, il est possible d'introduire à l'intérieur du manche (20) un flacon pressurisé (50) contenant par exemple un gel de rasage. En appuyant sur le bouton poussoir (28) on fait sortir du gel par l'orifice de sortie (27). Pour éviter un actionnement non intentionnel du bouton-poussoir (28), il est préférable que celui-ci soit caché au moins en partie par la tête de rasage (10) lorsque celle-ci est en position de rangement.In this embodiment, it is possible to introduce inside the handle (20) a pressurized bottle (50) containing for example a shaving gel. Pressing the push button (28) is released from the gel through the outlet (27). To avoid unintentional actuation of the push button (28), it is preferable that it is at least partially concealed by the shaving head (10) when in the storage position.

De même, il est préférable que le bouton coulissant (22) cache l'orifice (27) lorsque la lame est en position de rangement. Dans l'exemple présenté ici, la position de rangement de la tête de rasage (10) correspond à la position basse du bouton coulissant (22). Il est également possible de prévoir des moyens pour bloquer le bouton-poussoir (28) lorsque la tête de rasage (10) est en position de rangement.Similarly, it is preferable that the slider (22) hides the orifice (27) when the blade is in the storage position. In the example presented here, the storage position of the shaving head (10) corresponds to the lower position of the slide button (22). It is also possible to provide means for blocking the pushbutton (28) when the shaving head (10) is in the storage position.

Il est préférable d'enfermer le récipient pressurisé à l'intérieur du manche (20) en munissant ce dernier d'un capot (29). On est ainsi sûr que le flacon reste bien en place dans l'évidement destiné à cet effet. Il serait également possible en plus ou à titre subsidiaire de prévoir des moyens d'encliquetage pour encliqueter le flacon pressurisé dans l'évidement prévu dans le manche.It is preferable to enclose the pressurized container inside the handle (20) by providing the latter with a cover (29). It is thus sure that the bottle remains in place in the recess for this purpose. It would also be possible in addition or in the alternative to provide snap-fastening means for snapping the pressurized bottle into the recess provided in the handle.
