Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of electrical hand appliances used for the care of the person such as for example but not exclusively hair dryers or blower brushes. It may affect other personal care appliances such as hair straighteners, curling irons or as epilators, electric massagers.
  • Such hand-held personal care appliances generally include a bistable switch to turn the appliance on and off.
  • the bistable switch is not always practical to the extent that the user may be required to regularly deposit the hair dryer in order to work with both hands on the hair during hairdressing . Or, the hair dryer continues to work when it is deposited, or the user must deliberately operate the switch to stop the hair dryer. If the user chooses not to stop the hair dryer then the operation of the latter induces an unnecessary consumption of energy and the sound of its operation persists while the device is not used. If the user chooses to stop the hair dryer every time he drops it requires him a deliberate operation of the switch, which movement by its repetition causes a waste of time.
  • a patent US 4,683,369 proposed to equip the handle of a hairdryer control means comprising an elongated control lever which extends in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle. This elongated lever is accessible in the grip zone located at the front of the handle. The control lever is then movable in rotation relative to the handle along an axis of rotation located near a so-called proximal end of the operating lever and in the part of the close handle of the electric motor. When handling the handle the pressure on the control lever can act on a push switch that controls the operation of the hair dryer.
  • US 5195164 A describes a hair dryer comprising two control levers.
  • this electric hand-held personal care device is characterized in that the control means comprise a second elongated control lever which extends parallel to the first control lever, which is accessible in the engagement zone. hand and which is rotatable relative to the gripping means along an axis of rotation located near a so-called proximal end of the second operating or control lever, the proximal end of the second lever being located at the opposite of the proximal end of the first lever and the axis of rotation of the second lever being substantially parallel to that of the first lever.
  • control levers are not necessarily located side by side and may for example be located on two opposite faces of the gripping means.
  • the two levers are located on the same side of the gripping means.
  • the two levers are adjacent.
  • the hand-held personal care appliance can be designed to allow different types of care.
  • the electric hand care device of the person according to the invention forms a hair dryer comprising an elongated tubular body which comprises, at the front, an air outlet and, at the rear, an air inlet and which is equipped with a lateral handle forming the gripping means.
  • the control levers are placed on one side of the handle facing backward.
  • each lever comprises a support back for the hand of a user, this back having a convex arcuate shape in the direction of the length of the corresponding lever.
  • each support back located between the middle and the distal end, opposite to the proximal end extends more protruding from the gripping means the part of the back located near the proximal end of the corresponding lever.
  • control means are adapted to ensure the operation of the apparatus in the event of pressure on one or the other of the control levers.
  • the two levers are depressed to ensure the operation of the device which ensures its comfort of use.
  • the two levers act on the same control member.
  • the two control levers may have the same length, each control lever then comprising in a central region a control finger of the control member.
  • one of the levers at least includes means for selecting an operating mode of the electrical apparatus.
  • the gripping means comprise at least one plastic shell and the levers are an integral part of the shell while being each connected to the shell. shell by a zone of lesser thickness forming the axis of rotation of the corresponding lever.
  • the electrical apparatus may comprise activatable locking means which, in activated mode, are active and lock the two levers of the operating control means of the apparatus, and which, in deactivated mode, are inactive on the two levers of the control means. This allows, when the user wishes, to control the device in operation without having to press the control levers.
  • an electric personal care appliance A may form a hair dryer as illustrated in FIG. figure 1 .
  • the apparatus A comprises an elongated tubular body 1 which encloses an electric motor-fan not shown as well as possibly also not shown heating means.
  • the fan motor is adapted to suck the outside air through an air inlet E located at the rear of the tubular body 1 so as to discharge it through an air outlet S located at the front of the tubular body 1.
  • the tubular body 1 comprises gripping means 2 formed by an elongate handle which extends laterally from the body 1 so as to give the apparatus A a general shape. pistol.
  • control means 3 which are arranged in the handle 2 and are accessible in part at a grip zone Z and, according to the example, at the level of one side of the handle 2 facing towards the rear of the apparatus A.
  • control means comprise two elongated control levers 4 and 5 which extend in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the gripping means formed by the handle 2.
  • the two levers 4 and 5 are therefore located on the same rear side of the gripping means 2.
  • the levers 4 and 5 are adjacent, that is to say arranged side by side, and have substantially the same length.
  • Each lever 4, 5 is movable in rotation relative to the gripping means 2 along an axis of rotation respectively 6 and 7 perpendicular to an axial plane passing through the longitudinal axis L.
  • the axes of rotation 6 and 7 are parallel to each other. so that the levers 4 and 5 are rotatable in two parallel planes.
  • Each axis of rotation, 6 or 7, is furthermore situated at a so-called proximal end, 8 or 9 respectively, of the corresponding operating lever 4 and 5.
  • the proximal ends 8 and 9 of the levers 4 and 5 are located at the opposite of each other.
  • the axis of rotation 6 of the first lever 4 is located on the side of the proximal end 9 'of the second lever 5 while the axis of rotation 7 of the second lever 5 is located on the side of the proximal end 8' of the first lever 4.
  • the arrangement of the levers 4 and 5 relative to each other can therefore be described as head to tail.
  • Each lever comprises a back 15 which protrudes outside the gripping means, in this case, the handle 2 and which provides a bearing surface for the hand or the fingers of a user.
  • each support back 15 has a convex arcuate shape in the direction of the length of the corresponding lever.
  • the control means 3 are adapted to ensure the operation of the apparatus A in the event of pressure on one or the other of the control levers 4, 5. According to the illustrated example, this mode of operation is achieved by means of two operating fingers 16 and 17 which respectively equip the first 4 and the second lever 5, at their opposite face to their support back 15. Each actuating finger is located in a central region of the corresponding lever and acts on the same arm 18 of a control member 19, here a switch controlling the power supply of the electric motor of the hair dryer A.
  • the control means 3 thus formed operate in the following manner.
  • a user grasps the handle 2 at least some of his fingers are pressed on the support back 15 of at least one of the levers 4 or 5 or the backs 15 of the two levers 4 and 5 which then pivot in the direction of the arrow F5 for the second lever 5 and in the direction of the arrow F4 with respect to the first lever 4.
  • This rotation causes a movement of the operating fingers 16 and 17 corresponding which press the arm 18 causing the closing of the supply circuit controlled by the member 19.
  • the central position of the operating fingers 16 and 17 allows them to act on the same member 19.
  • the portion 20 of the support back 15 of the first lever 4, located between the central region and the distal end 8 'of said first lever 4 extends further from the handle 2 forming the means of gripping the portion 21 of the back 15 of the first lever 4 located near the proximal end 8.
  • the portion 22 of the support back 15 of the second lever 5, located between the central region and the distal end 9 'of said second lever 5 extends more protruding from the handle 2 forming the gripping means than the portion 23 of the back 15 of the second lever 5 located near the proximal end 9.
  • This embodiment makes it possible to offer a greater sensitivity to the control system formed by the two levers 4 and 5. Indeed, this makes it possible to avoid, when the user's fingers are placed opposite an axis of rotation, that the proximal portion of the lever articulated by said axis, prevents the movement of the other lever.
  • the axes of rotation 6 and 7 can be made in any appropriate manner.
  • the axes of rotation 6 and 7 may, for example, each be an integral part of the corresponding lever to articulate in a clevis arranged in the gripping means.
  • the axes of rotation 6 and 7 may also be each formed by a shaft which is engaged in a bore of the corresponding lever.
  • the gripping means 2 comprise a plastic shell 32 whose levers 4 and 5 form an integral part. Each of the levers 4 and 5 is then connected to the shell by a zone of lesser thickness or lower resistance 33 forming the axis of rotation, 6 or 7 respectively, of the corresponding lever 4 and 5, respectively.
  • the figure 4 illustrates another variant embodiment of the invention according to which the first lever 4 comprises means 35 for selecting an operating mode of the electrical apparatus A.
  • These selection means 35 comprise, according to this example, a rotary switch 36 whose housing is secured to the first lever at its distal end 8 '.
  • the rotary switch 36 comprises an operating wheel 37 which is accessible at the support back 15 of the first lever 4.
  • the locking means 40 may be a half-ring 41 sliding on and along a portion of the levers 4 and 5. The slide slides in the direction of the levers indicated by the arrows illustrated.
  • the locking means 40 may alternatively be a metal wire in the form of a folded U 42 and pivoting about the axis ⁇ according to the arrows shown. The U comes to rest against the body of the handle and to lock against two lateral studs 43 arranged on each side of the handle Z. As illustrated in FIG.
  • the locking means 40 may be a slider 44 which is actuated in translation by the user along a corridor 45. When the user actuates the cursor downward, he crushes the lever so as to actuate the electric switch. If this slider is left in the up position, the lever is in the locked position.
