  • the present invention relates to the field of tweezers of the type comprising a rotary cylinder with tongs for tearing unwanted hair from the human body, and more particularly relates to an epilator comprising a massage means producing an anti-pain effect.
  • a plucking tweezers generally comprise blade or disc grippers disposed on a rotating barrel, the pliers being caused to close and open periodically to grip and tighten the bristles close to the barrel. the skin to tear them by the rotation of the cylinder and then to evacuate the torn hairs before starting a new cycle of tearing. Pulling the hair is a very effective method against their regrowth, but it often causes significant pain.
  • Another document EP1782709 in the name of the applicant describes a depilatory device comprising a depilatory head removable and interchangeable with a cutting head.
  • the cutting head comprises a fixed blade and a movable blade, the movable blade being driven in translation by a vibrating element in a direction parallel to the axis of the hair removal roller.
  • the element vibrator is fixed relative to the housing of the device and it is driven by a cam recovering the movement of the electric motor by a gear train, the cam itself being also fixed relative to the housing.
  • This document discloses a razor adjacent to an anti-pain means driven by a cam that can directly transmit the movement of the motor in a displacement in translation.
  • the prior art does not propose the combination of an epilation means and an effective pain-relieving means, the two functions being realized simultaneously and being implemented in a compact block to be fixed on a personal care device. multifunction skin.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a multifunctional body care device compatible with different interchangeable skin treatment blocks, at least one block comprises a depilation means provided with an effective pain-killing means .
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a depilatory device with anti-pain medium compact and robust.
  • Another object of the invention is a depilatory device provided with an anti-pain means easy to clean in case of jamming torn hairs.
  • Another object of the invention is an effective and ergonomic depilatory device, for tearing the hair always closer to the skin for a better hair removal result.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an anti-pain means of rubbing the skin used during epilation which is effective.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a depilatory device provided with an easy-to-use pain-relieving means having an improved lifetime while ensuring effective training of its moving parts.
  • Another object of the invention is a depilatory device for performing a massage on the skin to be epilated having an oscillation frequency adapted for an optimal anti-pain effect.
  • Yet another object of the invention is an anti-pain depilatory device which guarantees safety for the user.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an epilator having a reliable anti-pain means, of simple construction and which lends itself to mass production, for less manufacturing costs.
  • rotary depilating cylinder any device capable of supporting and driving the tweezers in a continuous rotational movement about at least one axis of rotation.
  • a device may be in particular a rotary roller clamps, but also a belt carrying clamps, a chain driving articulated modules carrying tweezers, etc..
  • This movement in the plane of the skin produces in particular a rubbing massage action performed just next to the action zone of the hair removal roller and therefore in an area adjacent to the hair removal zone.
  • rubbing a pain-sensitized area vigorously with pain has the effect of immediately relieving pain.
  • this massage has an anesthetic effect over a short time interval, and that the pain due to hair removal becomes more bearable thereafter .
  • the active massaging element is integrated in the bi-treatment block which at the same time contains the depilating cylinder, the massage function for an anti-pain effect is always performed simultaneously with the pulling of the hairs.
  • the housing is constructed so as to receive other treatment heads interchangeable with the bi-treatment block, these other functional heads do not require motorized painter means as the hair removal function requires.
  • the presence of the support heel unequivocally indicates the direction of use of the epilating head in that the heel must be placed upstream of the epilation window relative to the direction of movement of the epilation head. on the area to be depilated.
  • the heel and its contact surface allow a slight tensioning of the skin of the area to be depilated due to the friction and the slight traction induced by the heel and its contact surface during the displacement of the head. hair removal against the skin of the area to be depilated.
  • the rotation, along an axis parallel to and coincident with the axis of rotation of the hair removal roller, the movable flap and the heel it carries keeps contact with the skin of the area to be epilated when slight variations in the orientation of the casing with respect to the skin of the zone to be dehaired, induced by the user.
  • the heel and its contact surface are always parallel to the skin of the area to be depilated so that the slight tension of the latter is still maintained despite the slight variations in orientation of the housing.
  • the massaging element is integrated with the hair removal roller in the same bi-treatment block via the movable flap. This also allows tensioning of the skin so that it can pinch the hair without increasing the sensation of pain. Indeed, thanks to the movable flap, the massaging element is always maintained at a bearing position on the skin despite variations in orientation of the bi-treatment block for a massage with optimal anti-pain effect.
  • the depilating cylinder comprises means for defining the angular sectors and the movable flap is secured to said means for defining the angular sectors so as to ensure a modification of the position of the angular sectors relative to the bi-treatment block according to the orientation of the mobile component.
  • the sequence of opening and closing clamps is always optimal despite variations in the inclination of the housing relative to the skin of the area to be dehaired.
  • the apparatus comprises a rotary cam about a secondary axis parallel to the epilation axis, the cam being mounted on a rod and intended to drive said massaging element. It is a grooved cam for the purpose of transforming a rotational movement into a translational movement of the massaging element. It simplifies significantly the construction of both the accessory and the device without increasing the size of the case, while obtaining a more compact device, with a greatly increased speed, easy to implement, effective in term training and an extended life.
  • said rod is integral with the movable flap.
  • the cam is integrated in the dual-processing block and disassembles with the latter simultaneously, which allows a saving of space of the device.
  • the cam comprises at one of its ends a cam gear, the cam is intended to be driven by the depilating cylinder by means of a translation gear train.
  • the cam comprises a groove formed to allow rotation of the cam in two opposite directions. This makes it possible to double the oscillation speed of the massaging element and to ensure safety for the user. Because the cam can rotate in the opposite direction to the operation of the device, the user will be able to handle in case of trapping of hair to clean the block bi-treatment.
  • the cam path is defined such that during rotation of said cam, it enables the oscillation speed of the massaging element to be doubled and to ensure safety for the user.
  • the rod is secured to the housing.
  • the cam is integrated in the housing of the apparatus.
  • the bi-processing block comprises at least one actuating arm of the massaging element perpendicular to the axis ⁇ intended to be driven by the motor by means of a mechanical transmission.
  • said mechanical transmission comprises at least said cam gear, a motor gear and a vibrating element intended to be oscillated by the cam, said vibrating element comprising a housing for receiving said actuating arm and guiding it in translation in a direction parallel to the hair removal axis.
  • the massaging element is connected to an actuating arm which has a certain degree of freedom in a housing of the vibrating element and which is driven by the latter for a back and forth movement.
  • the vibrating element having a T shape moves in the groove of the cam to ensure the translational movement.
  • the massaging element can therefore follow the movement of the movable flap by sizing the housing of the vibrating element.

  • a surface having a relatively high roughness so that it produces a rubbing massage effect or an exfoliating effect during hair removal.
  • the massaging element is a bar having a skin contacting surface comprising protuberances.
  • massage nubs or half spheres protruding from the plane of the contact surface with the skin of the bar being able to penetrate the skin, each pin / half sphere constituting in fact an anchoring point which causes the skin on the move to increase the effect of massage into deeper layers of the skin.
  • the bar is ZAMAK which has a low coefficient of friction property.
  • Zamak is an alloy of zinc, aluminum and magnesium and sometimes copper. Its name is an acronym for the German names of the metals that compose it: Zink (zinc), Aluminum, Magnesium (magnesium) and Kupfer (copper).
  • the material chosen for the bar is a material hard enough not to adhere to the skin and drag it during the friction exerted on the latter by the bar moving.
  • a material may be alternatively, for example, a plastic material of the polyamide type loaded with glass ball or POM which is a material known to have a low coefficient of friction due to its good sliding properties.
  • a body care device that includes at least one massage head mounted interchangeably on the housing. Because the bi-treatment block is held on the housing by a reversible attachment means, it is detachable and interchangeable with other care accessories. We can imagine accessories such as a massage head, a shaving head, or a mower head, etc.
