- the present invention relates to a tweezers of the type comprising pliers for tearing unwanted hair, unwanted, the human body, and more particularly relates to such an apparatus equipped with means for reducing the pain caused by tearing of the bristles. fur.
- This type of apparatus generally comprises blade or disk-shaped grippers arranged on a rotating or oscillating roller, arranged in the upper part of a housing forming a gripping means, the roller being driven in motion by an electric motor arranged in a the same case.
- the forceps are caused to close and open periodically so as to grasp the hair close to the skin, tear them off, and then evacuate them, during the movement of the roller.
- Hair removal by pulling hair is a very effective method against their regrowth, but it is sometimes quite painful. This pain is due to the repeated pulling on the hair, or to the lesions or irritations of the hair follicles caused by the pulling of the hairs.
- the device must be loaded with liquid constantly and, therefore, it requires regular maintenance, or even disassembly of some components.
- this device is of a large size, mainly due to the presence of a fluid reservoir inside its housing.
- apparatus comprising a fan driven by an electric motor to create an air flow between an air inlet opening located on one side of its housing and an air outlet nozzle directed towards the skin and located on the opposite side of the housing.
- the air flow produced must pass through the housing to reach the skin. This causes significant pressure losses to the airflow that must change abruptly direction (90 °) after the exit of the turbine to go to the skin.
- This device finds its limits in the design and construction of its aeraulic circuit imposing the use of an electric motor that must rotate at a very high speed so that the air flow coming out of the device has an effect felt as analgesic on the skin.
- the high speed operation of the fan turbine also produces an acute operating noise, which can be perceived as unpleasant during hair removal.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a tweezers device with tearing pliers comprising painter means capable of producing a flow of air for insensitizing the area of skin to be epilated effectively during l hair removal operation, while being silent in operation.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a depilatory device comprising painter means capable of producing an air flow with improved airflow efficiency, which are simple in structure and reliable, while being economical to achieve.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a depilatory apparatus of compact construction, of small dimensions, which can easily be held by hand, while incorporating effective and reliable pain relief means over time.
- a depilatory apparatus comprising a housing intended to be held by hand comprising means for hair removal by pulling off the hairs on the skin and drive means depilation means, and a fan driven by an electric motor to create a flow of air between an air inlet opening of the housing and an outlet opening of air from the housing, the air flow exiting the fan pressure chamber being channeled to the skin by an air duct extended by a flat nozzle, because the outlet channel of the fan pressure chamber, the air duct and the flat nozzle are substantially on the same straight line.
- the outlet channel, the air duct and the nozzle are coaxial by being arranged with their respective axes on the same straight line.
- the alignment of the axes of the outlet channel of the fan pressure chamber, the air duct and the outlet nozzle, they are arranged substantially in the same line in the same plane.
- the apparatus of the invention thus makes it possible to produce an air flow whose flow rate and speed have been increased for a better analgesic effect on the skin, while reducing the level of the noise generated by the ventilator.
- the outlet channel, the air duct and the flat nozzle comprise at least one longitudinal face arranged substantially in the same plane.
- the outlet channel, the air duct and the flat nozzle have a side face in the same plane and their upper and lower faces in two superposed parallel planes.
- the air inlet opening, at least one of the walls of the air duct and the flat air outlet nozzle belong to one of the shells of the housing.
- the axis of rotation of the fan is substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the housing.
- the rotational drive of a fan wheel about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing makes it possible to record the diameter and the height of the vanes of the fan wheel in the jig in the transverse direction of the housing.
- a wheel occupying the space granted by the width (for the diameter) and by the Thickness (for the height of the blades) makes it possible, while turning, to blow a large air flow and thus to improve the efficiency of the fan, without significantly increasing the dimensions of the housing of the apparatus.
- said fan is a centrifugal fan squirrel cage.
- a centrifugal fan called squirrel cage or direct acting is a centrifugal fan with blades facing forward in the direction of rotation. This type of fan, operating at low pressure, provides a high flow rate and total pressure, for a low power consumption.
- the fan comprises a volute surrounding a wheel blades, the outlet of the volute being extended by a longitudinal air duct.
- Such a volute is an envelope that surrounds the fan wheel, it has a shape of snail or logarithmic spiral and allows to gradually increase, from its spout, the flow of the centrifugal fan and thus improve the efficiency of the fan. this one.
- the air inlet in the volute of a centrifugal fan is made according to the axis of rotation of the wheel and the output is according to the tangent to the wheel, perpendicular to the axis of the wheel, which is can then advantageously orient in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the housing.
- the outgoing air flow can then be directed substantially without changing direction and, therefore, without undergoing pressure loss until epilation means which are generally arranged in the upper part of the housing.
- the epilation means comprise at least one tearing pliers carried by an epilation roller rotating about its longitudinal axis, the flat nozzle being arranged parallel to the longitudinal side of the hair removal roller.
- a rotating roll is preferred because it is capable of treating large areas of skin while being of very compact construction.
- the roller rotates about its longitudinal axis which is parallel to the plane of the skin, the clamps being arranged along its generator.
- the flat shape of the air outlet nozzle being parallel to the longitudinal side of the roll and therefore to its generator, the air flow is then sent to the vicinity of the skin area treated or to be treated.
- Such an outlet nozzle may then have a width substantially equal to that of the roller, which ensures a pain treatment very effective of the whole treated area.
- the flat nozzle is adjacent to the hair removal roller being arranged in front of the latter in the direction of movement of the device on the skin.
- the air outlet nozzle is adjacent to the roller, it then allows to blow a flat airflow closer to the skin area to be treated.
- This arrangement at the front of the roll has proved very effective against pain, because the analgesic effect of the airflow immediately before tearing insensitizes the skin and makes it less painful pulling.
- the apparatus comprises a first electric motor for driving the hair removal roller and a second electric motor for driving the fan.
- actuation by a motor separate from the fan wheel allows more freedom in its arrangement inside the housing, as well as in the choice of its dimensions.
- the fan wheel whose dimensions have been calculated to obtain a powerful airflow necessary to obtain the desired painkiller effect, could be arranged in an optimum manner as to the direction of the outgoing airflow, while the orienting to obtain a small footprint and an advantageous design of the apparatus.
- the two electric motors are arranged one behind the other in the direction of the length of the housing, the first electric motor being located between the epilation roller and the second electric motor.
- the motors being located one behind the other to optimally occupy the space in the longitudinal direction of an elongated housing housing that forms a gripping means.
- the first drive motor being located closer to the roller that it drives, this limits the number of gears or gears used to transmit the movement to the roller, to further reduce the operating noise.
- the arrangement of the second motor at the rear of the housing also allows good ergonomics in operation, because the air inlet opening in the housing can not be obstructed by the hand of the user who usually holds the housing its upper part adjoining the roller in order to guide it accurately on the skin.
- the hair removal roller is supported by a portion forming the head of the housing pivotally mounted relative to a second portion forming the handle.
- the air outlet nozzle may be secured to the housing or the head and in this case, it will be connected to the housing by a flexible bellows .

- the apparatus of the invention comprises pain-relieving means comprising a fan 20 actuated by a second electric motor 14.
- the fan comprises a bladed wheel 21 mounted on the output shaft shaft 15 of the second electric motor 14 and therefore rotating. at the same speed as this, preferably greater than 5000tr / min.
- the fan 20 When rotated, the fan 20 draws ambient air from an inlet opening 22 of the housing 1 and sends it towards the skin through an outlet opening 32 embodied by a flat nozzle 24. (Figs 3 and 4). More particularly, the air blown by the fan 20 is recovered at the outlet of its volute 25 by an air duct 26 which directs it to the outlet of the housing 1 via the flat nozzle 24 which is oriented towards the skin.
- the flat nozzle 24 is adjacent to the hair removal roller 3, its length corresponds to that of the hair removal roller 3 and it is arranged in front of the latter in the direction of movement of the device on the skin.
- the flat nozzle 24 of air outlet protrudes outside the housing 1 to get closer to the skin.
- the outlet flat nozzle 24 shown has a generally rectangular shape with rounded corners, with a length of approximately 28 mm and a width of approximately 5 mm.
- the fan 20 is of the squirrel-cage centrifugal type or has blades curved forwards in the direction of rotation, in particular along the arcuate arrow of FIG. 3.
- the fan 20 comprises the paddle wheel 21 surrounded by a volute 25 in the form of snail or logarithmic spiral.
- the ventilator 20 of the invention must fulfill conditions of good aerodynamic efficiency (flow rate, speed of airflow), low operating noise and compactness of the air. its construction. After calculations and tests carried out in the laboratory, the design and optimum characteristics of the fan 20 have been determined.
- the wheel 21 has a diameter of about 26 mm, with twenty blades 27 lying down towards the front, the height of a blade 27 being about 10 mm and the blade spacing of about 3mm.
- the volute 25 has a snail shape and ensures the gradual increase of the fan flow from its spout 28 to the outlet channel 29 of the volute.
- the outlet channel 29 of the volute 25 opens into a straight air duct 26 extended by the flat nozzle 24 air outlet, these elements being coaxial.
- the air duct 26 is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the casing 1 and perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the wheel 21 and therefore to the output shaft 15 of the second motor 14.
- the air duct 26 is preferably a straight duct which sends in the longitudinal direction the tangential air flow leaving the volute 25, according to the longitudinal arrow of FIG.
- the volute 25 comprises, at its beak, a radius of curvature 30 extended by a side wall at an angle of the air duct 26 allowing the tangential air flow leaving the volute 25 to spread progressively in the air duct 26 and out, without loss of load, through the entire width of the flat nozzle 24 air outlet.
- the walls of the duct must be smooth, free of walking or sharp edge, the inner surface of the air duct 26 is polished ice at a very low roughness .
- the upper part of the volute 25, the upper wall of the air duct 26, forming a front wall 31 of the duct, and the upper wall of the flat nozzle 24 are integrated into the casing, in particular to its front hull.
- This front shell then has a mesh opening at the inlet opening 22 and having substantially the same shape and the same dimensions as the latter.
- the device is switched on by pressing the on / off button. More particularly, it feeds the first electric motor 10 which rotates the hair removal roller 3 and simultaneously the second electric motor 14 which rotates the fan 20.
- the fan 20 When the fan 20 is rotated, it creates a flow of air between the air inlet opening 22 and the flat nozzle 24 air outlet of the device.
- the air flow circuit is better represented by the arrows of FIG. 3, the suction of the air flow being perpendicular to the casing 1, the air flow then moving in the longitudinal direction of the casing 1 until to the epilation roller 3, the outlet being on the same side of the housing.
- the apparatus of the invention already makes it possible to produce a stream of concentrated air, in the form of a blade or air curtain, oriented in the direction of the skin and having a good flow rate, of about 3.8 m 3 / h which is obtained with a rotation speed of only 5000rpm, to generate a soothing effect during tearing. Moreover, it has been found that, with this apparatus of the invention, by doubling the speed of rotation of the fan, an air flow rate of approximately 8 m 3 / h is obtained, which clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of this construction and the choice of operating parameters of the device.
- This device allows to blow a very powerful air flow at high speed towards the skin, while maintaining good ergonomics and without unduly increasing its size.
- the painter means of the device are thus effective in operation while integrating well with a depilatory device of compact construction. Furthermore, by simplifying the transmission, the entire construction, as well as the assembly of the device are more economical, which makes it possible to compensate for any additional cost due to the presence of an additional engine.
