- said adjusting means is translationally connected to the retraction means by coupling between at least one hook on one of the adjusting means and the latch and one orifice on the other of the adjusting means and the latch.
- the adjustment means can therefore also have two different maintained positions.
- said adjusting means is rotatably connected to the retraction means by a slide connection between said adjusting means and said positioner.
- a rotation of the adjustment means therefore causes the positioner which is itself connected to the drive wheel so that it rotates in the same direction as the adjustment means.
- said drive wheel comprises coaxially a feeler ring having bumps on the circumference for actuating a feeling spring. This allows to give a feeling of guts to the user during the rotation in one direction or another.
- the parts adjusting means, latch, positioner, drive wheel, slider, are mounted and held in place on a mono piece called support.

- a hair or beard trimmer as illustrated in Figure 1 and generally designated 1, comprises a housing 10 defining a gripping zone and being equipped at the bottom with a cutting head composed of a stationary cutting blade 11 and a movable cutting blade 12.
- the mower 1 also comprises at least one comb 2 intended to fit on the mower 1 detachably and movable by a slide 32 which will be explained later.
- Comb 2 includes a series fins that define a bearing plane 22 against the scalp of the user, the absolute distance between the support plane 22 and the cutting blades 11, 12 thus defines the length of the hair after cutting. This length is adjustable by the movement of the comb 2, the comb 2 being driven in translation by the slide 32.
- the mower has a setting means 5 in the form of a wheel as shown in FIG. Figure 1 , intended to undergo a rotational movement about its axis ⁇ in one direction or the other.
- the adjusting means 5 is movable in translation between two positions A and C, but can only be maintained at the position A and, according to a preferable variant of the invention, another position B, which corresponds to the retracted position of the adjusting means 5, the position B being between the position A and the position C.
- the adjusting means 5 is held in position A so that it is sufficiently out of the housing 10 to allow the user to take substantially all of its circumference 51 for easy and precise rotation manipulation. With the so-called retracted position B, we have the possibility of lowering the adjustment means 5 sufficiently low until rotation manipulation is impossible.
- this retraction means 4 comprises a latch 41 which is connected to the translation adjustment means 5 and which is at the same time rotatable about the axis ⁇ .
- the adjusting means 5 comprises two hooks 50 as illustrated in FIG. Figure 3 and the latch 41 comprises an orifice 411 in which the hooks 50 are inserted so that they make the adjustment means 5 dependent on the latch 41 in translation in the X direction.

- the means adjustment is free in rotation relative to the lock.
- FIG. 2 It comprises a positioner 42 having a cylindrical shape positioned on the axis ⁇ , one end of the positioner 42 having a series of attachment arms 423 that can be embedded in cavities 442 distributed over a circumference of the drive wheel 44 which is also a circular part that can rotate around the axis ⁇ .
- the drive wheel 44 is rotated by the positioner 42 during adjustment.
- Other rotary attachment means could be considered as a bonding of the two parts or a slide connection, but the clipping solution proposed above has an economic and industrial advantage.
- the latch 41 Before mounting the positioner 42 on the drive wheel 44, it comes to place the latch 41 in the positioner 42 so that it can move on the axis ⁇ .
- the latch 41 has on its cylindrical surface a plurality of guide means 410 presented in the form of pins 410 intended to come into contact with the inner wall of the positioner 42. As illustrated in FIG.
- the positioner in order to be able to stop the latch in two different positions on the ⁇ axis, the positioner comprises on its inner wall shapes 422 comprising helical ramps 420 and reciprocally distributed grooves 421 and circular, so that when moving the latch 41 in the Y direction, all the pins 410 abut on either a helical ramp or a kerf.
- This movement of the latch 41 in the Y direction is actuated by a return means 43 which is positioned between the latch 41 and the drive wheel 44 and which is always in a compressed state. This makes it possible to keep the pins 410 against the shapes 422.
- the whole of the adjustment means 5 is substantially out of the box in order to give the user access to the adjustment, this position maintained is the position A which is an end of the path of the adjusting means 5.
- the adjusting means 5 is retracted to arrive at a position B which is flush with the housing 10 or slightly out of / back into the housing 10 to prohibit manipulation in rotation.
- the adjustment means 5 In order to pass the adjustment means 5 from one position to another, it suffices that the user exerts a pressing force on the adjustment means 5.
- the lock By compressing the return means 43, the lock moves in the direction X and the pins 410 leave shapes 422 until they touch the drive wheel 44.
- the adjustment means arrives at the position C which is the other end of its path.
- the first circumference of the drive wheel 44 which receives the pins 410 comprises a series of vertical teeth 440, these teeth are distributed so that each pin, down to the drive wheel, always slides on the same next to a tooth, which causes the latch 41 to slightly express angular movement in a single direction.
- the latch turns sufficiently that the pins move from one form to another without disturbing the function of the change of position of the adjusting means alternatively.
- the helical ramps 420 and the grooves 421 are spaced from the slopes 425, 426 that can help the rotation of the latch in the desired direction when it rises in the Y direction by the compressive force of the return means 43.
- the locking of the adjusting means 5 to the position A said output can be achieved by another intermediate piece that can operate directly on the adjustment means.
- the adjustment means 5 is rotatably connected to the positioner 42 by a sliding connection between the grooves 53 on the adjusting means 5 and the protruding lines 424 on the positioner 42.
- This connection allows the positioner 42 and the drive wheel 44 to rotate in one direction or the other around the axis ⁇ .
- This slide connection can be substituted by other means such as gluing or clipping,
- the drive wheel 44 comprises a first gear 441 forming part of a mechanical transmission means 3.
- This toothed wheel can be tapered or straight.
- the mechanical transmission means 3 also comprises a slider 31 which is a cylindrical piece mounted on the axis ⁇ 'and limited in translation relative to the housing, this slider 31 has at one end a second gear wheel 310 which forms with the first gear 441 a gear concurrent at an angle ⁇ . This angle as well as the size and number of teeth on each gear is adjusted to obtain optimum gearing and gear ratio.
- the mechanical transmission means 3 comprises a slide 32 fixed in rotation relative to the housing and intended to move on the axis ⁇ 'as illustrated in FIG. Figure 6 .
- the slider 32 includes portions of a tapping 320 in the form of protuberances spaced apart on its inner surface. These protuberances form with thread-like helices 311 on the outer surface of the slider 31 a screw-nut structure by means of which the slider 32 translates in translation on the axis ⁇ 'when the slider 31 is rotated around the slider. 'axis ⁇ '.
- the slide 32 receives the comb 2 by a clipping, the comb 2 can be driven by the slide 32 in translation in one direction or the other on the axis ⁇ '.
- This transmission principle also adapts to other embodiments, including a complete thread / tapping on the two parts or a thread on the slider 32 and a tapping on the slider 31, etc., the purpose being to transmit the rotation of the slider 31 in translation of the slider 32. It is also possible to adjust the size of the thread and / or the tapping defining the advance stroke ratio of the slider 32 in order to obtain a very precise adjustment.
- the number of teeth, the angle of the gearing and the threading / tapping can thus be varied very widely to obtain a ratio between the angular movement of the adjusting means and the translational movement of the comb.
- the mower 1 comprises, as illustrated in FIG. Figure 9 a feeler ring 6 having toothed bumps 61 which can push a feeling spring 7.
- the feeling ring 6 is fixed in rotation about the axis ⁇ on the drive wheel 44, it gives the user a sensation notch when rotating in one direction or the other.
- the angular dimension of the notched bumps 61 may be consistent with the rotational notches of the adjusting means 5 so that each notch sensation corresponds to the notch of the comb 2 advancement. But this may not be so if one simply wishes to indicate to the user that the setting is in progress.
- the support 8 is a reference piece comprising a cylinder 81 on the axis A, a cylinder 82 on the axis ⁇ ', and fastening means 83 for fixing the support 8 directly on the housing 10.
- This piece it can easily come to put the retraction means 4 in the cylinder 82 and the slider 31 on the cylinder 82 so that they are kept in position during operation.
- all the subsets of the retraction means 4 and the slider 31 keep very weak operating clearances between them, the range of dimensions is reduced and the dispersion is reduced. We thus obtain a device of better quality with satisfactory reliability of adjustment.
- the mower 1 has on the housing an indicator 9 which displays the cutting length instantly with the setting.
- the indicator 9 comprises an LCD screen on which the cutting length is displayed digitally.
- the indicator 9 picks up a signal which is a function of the position of a potentiometer 321 which is arranged on the slider 32. It is also possible to set up markings on the comb which are pointed by an arrow on the housing. of the mower.
- display means for example with LEDs (light emitting diodes) at different positions corresponding to a range of cutting lengths, but such a display makes the range very limiting.
- the mower 1 is suitable for a haircut or beard. It has therefore appeared to us that we need to supply several different size combs in order to widen the cutting length range. These combs are detachable from the slide and interchangeable between them.

Encore un autre but de l'invention est d'améliorer la sensation de réglage.Yet another object of the invention is to improve the feeling of adjustment.
Encore un autre but de l'invention est de proposer une tondeuse à peigne réglable compacte et non encombrante.Yet another object of the invention is to provide a compact comb mower compact and non-bulky.
Enfin un autre but de l'invention est de proposer une tondeuse à peigne réglable de haute qualité et économique.Finally another object of the invention is to provide an adjustable comb mower of high quality and economic.
Afin d'atteindre ces objectifs, l'invention concerne une tondeuse comportant un boîtier contenant une lame stationnaire et une lame mobile pouvant être entraînée par rapport à la lame stationnaire pour effectuer une coupe, le boîtier étant muni au moins d'un peigne destiné à être disposé entre les lames de coupe et le cuir chevelu pouvant être déplacé par rapport au boîtier, le déplacement du peigne étant destiné à être commandé par un moyen de réglage relié audit peigne par l'intermédiaire d'un moyen de transmission mécanique, caractérisé en ce que :le moyen de réglage est destiné à être maintenu en au moins une première position sortie par rapport au boîtier par un moyen de rétraction. Cette configuration géométrique permet de donner à l'utilisateur l'accès à l'ensemble du moyen de réglage et donc de faciliter la maniabilité pendant le réglage.In order to achieve these objectives, the invention relates to a mower comprising a housing containing a stationary blade and a movable blade that can be driven relative to the stationary blade to make a cut, the housing being provided with at least one comb intended for disposed between the cutting blades and the scalp displaceable relative to the housing, the movement of the comb being intended to be controlled by an adjustment means connected to said comb via a mechanical transmission means, characterized in that that : the adjusting means is intended to be held in at least a first position out of the housing by a retracting means. This geometric configuration makes it possible to give the user access to all the adjustment means and thus to facilitate maneuverability during adjustment.
Dans une variante préférable de l'invention, ledit moyen de réglage est destiné à être maintenu en une deuxième position rétractée par rapport à ladite première position sortie. Ceci permet de rendre le moyen de réglage non accessible pour subir un mouvement en rotation après le réglage et de rendre la tondeuse moins encombrante.In a preferable variant of the invention, said adjustment means is intended to be maintained in a second position retracted with respect to said first extended position. This makes the adjustment means not accessible to undergo a rotational movement after adjustment and make the mower less cumbersome.
Pour arriver à cet effet, ledit moyen de rétraction comprend un verrou destiné à se déplacer dans un positionneur destiné à coopérer avec ledit moyen de réglage lorsque ledit verrou est sous contrainte d'un moyen de rappel ou d'une force d'appui, ledit positionneur étant lié en rotation à une roue d'entraînement destinée à coopérer avec ledit moyen de transmission mécanique.To achieve this purpose, said retraction means comprises a latch intended to move in a positioner intended to cooperate with said adjustment means when said latch is under stress of a return means or a bearing force, said positioner being rotatably connected to a drive wheel for cooperating with said mechanical transmission means.
Plus précisément et dans un mode de réalisation préférable, ledit verrou comprend au moins un moyen de guidage destiné à glisser dans des formes sur la paroi intérieure dudit positionneur, lesdites formes comprennent des rampes hélicoïdales et des saignées pouvant alternativement arrêter ledit moyen de guidage en deux positions différentes lorsque ledit verrou est guidé en rotation par une série de dents verticales sur une première circonférence de ladite roue d'entrainement, ladite série de dents verticales étant destinée à recevoir ledit moyen de guidage de manière à ce que ledit verrou soit toujours entrainé à tourner dans le même sens. Ce système de rétraction permet, à chaque appui, de changer la position longitudinale du verrou par rapport au positionneur.More specifically, and in a preferable embodiment, said latch comprises at least one guide means intended to slide in shapes on the inner wall of said positioner, said shapes comprise helical ramps and grooves that can alternately stop said guide means in two directions. different positions when said latch is guided in rotation by a series of vertical teeth on a first circumference of said drive wheel, said series of vertical teeth being intended to receive said guide means so that said latch is always driven to turn in the same direction. This retraction system allows, at each support, to change the longitudinal position of the lock relative to the positioner.
Afin d'établir la transmission mécanique, ladite roue d'entrainement comprend sur une deuxième circonférence une première roue dentée.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, ledit moyen de transmission mécanique comprend un curseur ayant une deuxième roue dentée, formant avec ladite première roue dentée de ladite roue d'entraînement un engrenage concourant à un angle α. Cette construction d'engrenage permet d'optimiser l'effort d'application et la vitesse angulaire, le réglage est donc plus facile et plus précis.In order to establish the mechanical transmission, said drive wheel comprises on a second circumference a first toothed wheel.
According to a characteristic of the invention, said mechanical transmission means comprises a slider having a second gear, forming with said first gear of said drive wheel a gear concurrent at an angle α. This gear construction makes it possible to optimize the application force and the angular velocity, the adjustment is thus easier and more precise.
Dans une forme préférée mais non exclusive de réalisation, ledit curseur comprend au moins une hélice du type filetage qui coopère avec un coulisseau comprenant au moins une partie d'un taraudage correspondant à ladite hélice, ledit coulisseau étant destiné à recevoir ledit peigne par un clippage. La rotation du curseur est donc convertie en translation du coulisseau, le filetage et le taraudage des deux pièces pourront être ajustés pour optimiser le rapport de course, le réglage est donc plus précis.In a preferred but non-exclusive embodiment, said slider comprises at least one thread-type helix which cooperates with a slider comprising at least part of a thread corresponding to said helix, said slider being intended to receive said comb by a clipping . The rotation of the slider is thus converted into translation of the slider, the threading and tapping of the two parts can be adjusted to optimize the stroke ratio, the setting is more accurate.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention visant à rendre le moyen de réglage rétractable, ledit moyen de réglage est lié en translation au moyen de rétraction par l'accouplement entre au moins un crochet sur l'un parmi le moyen de réglage et le verrou et un orifice sur l'autre parmi le moyen de réglage et le verrou. Le moyen de réglage peut donc avoir également deux positions maintenues différentes.According to a feature of the invention aimed at rendering the adjusting means retractable, said adjusting means is translationally connected to the retraction means by coupling between at least one hook on one of the adjusting means and the latch and one orifice on the other of the adjusting means and the latch. The adjustment means can therefore also have two different maintained positions.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention visant à actionner le moyen de transmission mécanique par le moyen de réglage, ledit moyen de réglage est lié en rotation au moyen de rétraction par une liaison glissière entre ledit moyen de réglage et ledit positionneur. Une rotation du moyen de réglage entraine donc le positionneur qui est lui-même relié à la roue d'entrainement pour que celle-ci tourne dans le même sens que le moyen de réglage.According to a feature of the invention for actuating the mechanical transmission means by the adjusting means, said adjusting means is rotatably connected to the retraction means by a slide connection between said adjusting means and said positioner. A rotation of the adjustment means therefore causes the positioner which is itself connected to the drive wheel so that it rotates in the same direction as the adjustment means.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ladite roue d'entraînement comprend de manière coaxiale une bague de sensation ayant des bosses sur la circonférence destinées à actionner sur un ressort de sensation. Ceci permet de donner une sensation de cran à l'utilisateur lors de la rotation dans un sens ou dans un autre.According to another characteristic of the invention, said drive wheel comprises coaxially a feeler ring having bumps on the circumference for actuating a feeling spring. This allows to give a feeling of guts to the user during the rotation in one direction or another.
Avantageusement, les pièces : moyen de réglage, verrou, positionneur, roue d'entraînement, curseur, sont montées et maintenues en place sur une mono pièce dite support. Le support est conçu pour servir en tant que référence de positionnement des pièces, les jeux sont plus faibles et le produit a une meilleure qualité.Advantageously, the parts: adjusting means, latch, positioner, drive wheel, slider, are mounted and held in place on a mono piece called support. The stand is designed to serve as a reference for positioning parts, games are weaker and the product has better quality.
Plus particulièrement, ledit boîtier comprend un indicateur de la longueur de coupe. Ceci permet à l'utilisateur de connaitre visuellement la longueur de coupe choisie.More particularly, said housing comprises an indicator of the length of cut. This allows the user to visually know the chosen cutting length.
Pour que l'indicateur affiche la longueur de coupe en fonction du positionnement du coulisseau, ledit coulisseau comprend un potentiomètre pouvant donner la position du peigne audit indicateur sur une gamme de réglages possible.For the indicator to display the cutting length according to the positioning of the slider, said slider comprises a potentiometer that can give the position of the comb to said indicator over a range of possible settings.
De façon avantageuse, la tondeuse comprend au moins deux peignes détachables de taille différente. Les peignes ayant les gammes de longueurs de coupe réglables différentes, l'utilisateur peut choisir le peigne adapté en fonction du type de coupe souhaité.Advantageously, the mower comprises at least two detachable combs of different size. The combs having different adjustable cutting length ranges, the user can choose the comb adapted according to the desired type of cut.

Une tondeuse à cheveux ou à barbe, telle qu'illustrée à la
Afin de pouvoir régler la longueur de coupe définie par le plan d'appui 22 et les lames de coupe 11, 12, la tondeuse dispose d'un moyen de réglage 5 sous forme d'une molette comme illustré à la
Avant de présenter le fonctionnement du moyen de rétraction 4, il faudrait tout d'abord comprendre que ce moyen de rétraction 4 comprend un verrou 41 qui est relié au moyen de réglage 5 en translation et qui est en même temps rotatif autour de l'axe Δ. Selon une forme préférée mais non exclusive de réalisation, le moyen de réglage 5 comprend deux crochets 50 comme illustrés à la
Nous allons maintenant expliquer en détails le moyen de rétraction 4 mieux illustré à la
Avant de monter le positionneur 42 sur la roue d'entrainement 44, on vient placer le verrou 41 dans le positionneur 42 pour qu'il puisse se déplacer sur l'axe Δ. Toujours à la
Afin de passer le moyen de réglage 5 d'une position à une autre, il suffit que l'utilisateur exerce une force d'appui sur le moyen de réglage 5. En compressant le moyen de rappel 43, le verrou se déplace dans la direction X et les tétons 410 sortent des formes 422 jusqu'à ce qu'ils touchent la roue d'entrainement 44. A ce moment là, le moyen de réglage arrive à la position C qui est l'autre extrémité de son parcours. En effet, comme illustrée à la
Dans une autre variante non illustrée, le blocage du moyen de réglage 5 à la position A dite sortie peut être réalisé par une autre pièce intermédiaire pouvant actionner directement sur le moyen de réglage. Dans ce cas de figure, on peut simplifier le moyen de rétraction 4 en remplaçant les saignées 421 par des rainures dans lesquelles le verrou est libre et ne reçoit plus d'effort de compression provenant du moyen de rappel qui sera complètement relâché.In another variant not shown, the locking of the adjusting means 5 to the position A said output can be achieved by another intermediate piece that can operate directly on the adjustment means. In this case, we can simplify the retraction means 4 by replacing the
Comme illustré à la
Afin de transmettre cette rotation de l'ensemble du moyen de rétraction 4 autour de l'axe Δ en une translation du peigne 2, la roue d'entrainement 44 comprend une première roue dentée 441 faisant partie d'un moyen de transmission mécanique 3. Cette roue dentée peut être conique ou bien droite. Comme illustré à la
Pour mieux comprendre le moyen de transmission mécanique 3, il comprend un coulisseau 32 fixé en rotation par rapport au boîtier et destiné à se déplacer sur l'axe Δ' comme illustré à la
Ce principe de transmission s'adapte également à d'autres modes de réalisation, y compris un filetage/taraudage complet sur les deux pièces ou encore un filetage sur le coulisseau 32 et un taraudage sur le curseur 31, etc., le but étant de transmettre la rotation du curseur 31 en translation du coulisseau 32. On peut aussi ajuster la dimension du filetage et/ou le taraudage définissant le rapport de course d'avance du coulisseau 32 afin d'obtenir un réglage très précis.This transmission principle also adapts to other embodiments, including a complete thread / tapping on the two parts or a thread on the
On peut donc faire varier de manière très ample le nombre des dentures, l'angle de l'engrenage et le filetage / taraudage pour obtenir un rapport entre le mouvement angulaire du moyen de réglage et le mouvement en translation du peigne.The number of teeth, the angle of the gearing and the threading / tapping can thus be varied very widely to obtain a ratio between the angular movement of the adjusting means and the translational movement of the comb.
Pour donner une idée de la précision améliorée avec la présente invention, selon une variante envisagée,
- la roue d'entrainement comprend sur la première roue dentée18 dents ;
- le curseur comprend sur la deuxième roue dentée 20 dents ;
- on a la possibilité de tourner la roue d'entrainement à un cran qui correspond à un angle de 30° ;
- 1 tour du curseur correspond à 6mm d'avancement du coulisseau
- the drive wheel comprises on the first toothed wheel 18 teeth;
- the slider comprises on the second toothed wheel 20 teeth;
- it is possible to turn the drive wheel to a notch which corresponds to an angle of 30 °;
- 1 turn of the cursor corresponds to 6mm of advancement of the slider
Dans le but d'encore améliorer le réglage de la longueur de coupe, la tondeuse 1 comprend, comme illustré à la
Au travers des descriptions et des dessins, on arrive facilement à comprendre que l'ensemble du système intérieur du boîtier 10 y compris le moyen de rétraction 4 et le moyen de transmission mécanique 3 fonctionne si les sous-ensembles sont bien dimensionnés et mis en position correctement. Pour cela, nous avons conçu une pièce qui est un support 8 comme illustré à la
Afin de pouvoir visualiser le réglage, la tondeuse 1 dispose sur le boîtier d'un indicateur 9 qui affiche la longueur de coupe instantanément avec le réglage. Selon une variante de l'invention, l'indicateur 9 comprend un écran LCD sur lequel la longueur de coupe est affichée en numérique. Pendant le fonctionnement, l'indicateur 9 capte un signal qui est fonction de la position d'un potentiomètre 321 qui est agencé sur le coulisseau 32. On peut également mettre en place des marquages sur le peigne qui sont pointés par une flèche sur le boîtier de la tondeuse. Il existe d'autres moyens d'affichage, par exemple avec des LEDs (diodes électroluminescentes) à différentes positions correspondant à une gamme de longueurs de coupe, mais un tel affichage rend la gamme très limitative.In order to be able to visualize the setting, the
Selon l'invention, la tondeuse 1 est adaptée pour une coupe de cheveux ou de barbe. Il nous est donc apparu le besoin de fournir plusieurs peignes de taille différente afin d'élargir la gamme de longueur de coupe. Ces peignes sont donc détachables du coulisseau et interchangeables entre eux.According to the invention, the
Bien entendu, d'autres modifications peuvent être apportées à l'invention dans le cadre des revendications annexées.Of course, other modifications may be made to the invention within the scope of the appended claims.
