Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hair removal device such as an electric razor or a wet razor or a combination of electric and wet razors.
  • Such hair removal devices are known to have about a blade cartridge for wet shaving and / or about a long-hair trimmer for trimming beard, main or body hair.
  • Such special elements of a hair removal device are typically exposed exposed to the hair removal device and therefore exposed in a case of the device forces or falling energies when the special element strikes about on the ground.
  • Blade cartridges for holding razor blades are known from wet shavers. Damage to such blade cartridges - such as a razor falling to the ground - can release the blades and thus lead to a high risk of injury.
  • the hair removal device may in particular be an electric razor, a wet razor or a combined razor of an electrically driven razor and a wet razor, wherein the latter devices can be operated both manually and electrically (for example, the razor cartridge can be electrically vibrated electrically in a wet razor) ,
  • the hair removal device includes the following components:
  • a "main device element" which contains the major part of the total weight of the hair removal device (ie over 50% of the total weight, preferably over 90% of the total weight).
  • the main device element typically includes an electric motor and / or a rechargeable battery or a battery and, in the case of combined hair removal devices, also a shaving foil shaver and / or a long-hair shaver. cutter.
  • the total weight of the main device element may also be influenced by a heavy metal handle, etc.
  • the special element may comprise an exchangeable blade cartridge in which one or more razor blades for a wet shaving are accommodated. Since blade cartridges arranged for a shave exposed on the one hand and on the other hand, must be as small as possible (material-saving design), they are very vulnerable to shocks. From experience gained empirically, it is known that weights of about 100 grams and more, and more particularly about 150 grams or more, can be achieved, as may be achieved by accumulators / batteries and / or metal handles and / or moreover by an engine until regular damage to a blade cartridge occur. At a weight of about 150 g, ie a fall energy of about 2.2 J in a case of 1.5 m, occur according to empirical studies on a regular basis damage to the blade cartridge.
  • the invention can also be applied to lighter hair removal devices (such as typical wet razors) to prevent damage caused by a fall of the wet razor from a greater height or when throwing the wet razor (user slips, hurling the wet razor to the ground) may occur.
  • lighter hair removal devices such as typical wet razors
  • the blade cartridge can be fastened to the rest of the special element (the "intermediate element") by means of a known latching mechanism
  • the special element comprises an intermediate element and the blade cartridge mounted on the intermediate element by means of a latching mechanism.
  • a coupling for releasably connecting the special element of the main device element, wherein with respect to at least one given direction of action acting on the special element and thereby acting on the clutch minimum force for releasing the clutch.
  • the minimum force that leads to the release of the clutch can be adjusted by constructive design of the coupling and set about empirical tests for a given hair removal device so that Significant damage to the special element does not occur.
  • the releasing of the clutch effecting force typically acts blunt on the special element, that is, for example, it is transmitted from a flat or at most slightly curved object on the special element. This ensures that when the hair removal device falls to the floor, the coupling can be released (or disengaged) by an applied force (and not a hidden tool-only mechanism must be operated).
  • the coupling is designed so that it is under force from as many different directions of action (particularly preferably from all conceivable directions of action over which an exposed arrangement of the special element blunt power transmission to the special element is possible) is opened.
  • the coupling consists of a coupling part on the special element and a coupling part on the main device element, wherein the two coupling parts form the coupling in the assembled state of the special element.
  • the special element which includes, for example, a blade cartridge, coupled with a relatively heavy main device element, without causing the risk that the special element in an accidental fall of the hair removal device is significantly damaged or destroyed.
  • This is achieved with the help of the releasable coupling, which opens at a minimum force acting, which is below the force leading to significant damage or even destruction of the special element leading force.
  • the special element is therefore separated in an impact from the main device element, so that the kinetic energy of the main device element can not be converted into destruction energy at the special element. Upon impact of the hair removal device kinetic energy is converted.
  • the kinetic energy is determined by, for example, the weight of the hair removal device and height of fall, if it is a vertical fall, or by known formulas, such as an (unintended) litter.
  • the kinetic energy which is converted in an impact, leads to dynamic forces acting on the special element and thus on the coupling, which can not be easily described.
  • empirical drop tests or FEM studies can be used to determine at which kinetic energy, for example in the vertical case, the coupling should trigger, so that there is no significant damage to the special element.
  • the clutch is designed to disengage the special element from the main device element for a given acting force greater than a minimum force or a given (kinetic) energy greater than a minimum energy.
  • the special element may comprise a replaceable blade cartridge.
  • blade cartridges it is particularly important to avoid damage so that the blades, for example, can not be released and then pose a risk of injury.
  • Significant damage to the user is any damage in which the blade cartridge can no longer be used faultlessly or even with a risk of injury.
  • the coupling described leads to a defined, non-destructive and reversible disengagement or uncoupling of the special element of the main device element.
  • the Auskuppelkraft so the necessary for disengaging minimum force acting on the coupling is defined by structural design (and may well be different for different directions of action, as long as it is guaranteed that disengaging occurs at forces that are not yet cause significant damage to the special element).
  • the main device element may contain, for example, an electric motor, an accumulator, a battery, a shear foil shaver and / or a long-hair trimmer.
  • these are relatively heavy components whose weight can hardly be reduced below a given minimum and which in a case of the hair removal device result in a high kinetic energy trap.
  • the main device element has a main body and a slide movably mounted thereon, wherein the above-mentioned releasable coupling between the slider and the special element is formed.
  • the special element thus participates in the movement of the slider relative to the main device element.
  • the slider may in particular be an actuating element (switch) of the hair removal device with which functions of the hair removal device are activated or deactivated.

  • the locking elements may optionally at least partially engage in a circle about a predetermined axis of rotation.
  • the entire engagement region of the locking elements lies on a circle or on concentric circles about the axis of rotation.

  • the total weight in the illustrated embodiment is about 100 - 15O g, damage to the blade cartridge increasingly occurs until the hair removal device 100 is dropped from about 1.5 m height to the ground.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil pour éliminer des poils, par exemple un rasoir électrique ou un rasoir humide, comportant un élément principal (10, 20) dont le poids représente la partie principale du poids total de l'appareil, ainsi qu'un élément séparé (30, 40) pouvant être accouplé à l'élément principal et renfermant par exemple une cartouche de lames (40) pour un rasage humide. L'élément séparé (30, 40) est raccordé à l'élément principal (10, 20) par l'intermédiaire d'un accouplement (23, 33) qui est conçu de façon à s'ouvrir en présence de forces qui dépassent une force minimale. Si l'appareil d'élimination de poils (100) tombe sur le sol, l'élément séparé (30, 40) ne risque ainsi pas d'être endommagé en dépit du poids relativement élevé de l'appareil.
