Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for personal care, which has for training as a face brush or massage brush or massage brush a hand-held device and an adapter connecting the handset with a brush head.
- Such personal care devices are designed as a purely manually operable devices on the one hand, but is also a training with an electric drive to move the brush head relative to the handset.
- the brush head is exchangeably connected to the handset using an adapter.
- a problem with the use of known such devices is that often the cleaning effect to be generated and / or a massaging effect depends on a constructive adjustment of the brush head on the handset and a correct connection of the brush head with an optionally used drive. A combination of not optimally matched parts often leads to a deteriorated effect.
- Object of the present invention is to support a combination of optimally matched components with each other and to prevent the use of not optimally matched components either or to complicate possible.
- the brush head has a surface predetermined by bristle bundles. This means that the ends of the bristle bundles facing away from a support plate form a three-dimensional structure.
- the task takes the help that the base part has an adapter, and that the adapter has at least one primary part having a corresponding to a arranged on the brush head secondary part training.
- a further object of the invention is to construct the base part from a plurality of shells, which optimally make it possible to realize the wiping movement and to guide and seal the axis leading to the adapter through the shell.
- Another object of the invention is to drive the face brush or massage brush or massage brush with a so-called oscillating armature drive with control program, which maximizes the cleaning performance with minimal noise emission.
- a further object of the invention is to realize a head protection, which allows to protect the brush head and at the same time defines a defined storage position of the face brush or massage brush or massage brush.
- Another object of the invention is to achieve an improved cleaning performance through the novel construction and brush head movement.
- the facial brush or massage brush or massage brush basically consists of a hand-held device and a brush head.
- the handset is externally visible from a front and a rear shell part, which are connected to a cutting seam.
- the charging socket is integrated, this is accessible through the charging socket breakthrough in the housing from outside the housing.
- the charging socket breakthrough and, of course, the charging socket itself are located at the bottom of the handset, opposite the brush head.
- an opening for the on-off switch is introduced in the front shell part.
- a breakthrough for the drive shaft is introduced, the drive shaft breakthrough, through which the drive shaft is guided through the housing.
- the two shells of the handset are preferably made of hard and soft component.
- the hard component forms the supporting part of the shells or the housing.
- the secure hold of the device in the user's hand is ensured by the hard component, further, the support structures inside the housing are also made in hard component, so that the assembled parts are clearly positioned and well fixed.
- the soft component come other functions too.
- On the outside of the housing or the shells it can be applied for ergonomic purposes, to guarantee an even safer hold. Functionally for the device, it can be introduced, for example, for sealing purposes.
- the on-off switch opening is closed with a layer or a membrane made of soft component.
- the soft component is designed so that it is flexible and allows actuation of the lying inside the housing on-off switch or pushbutton. By this arrangement it is achieved that the operation is possible on the one hand and on the other hand, that the interior is still tightly sealed.
- the drive axle aperture is also closed with a soft component. It is so that the drive axle is passed through a sealing element made of soft component. The sealing element thus seals directly against the drive axle. It also seals by the direct concerns on the shell part. By this configuration, on the one hand ensures the sealing of the interior of the housing and on the other hand, the possibility of movement of the drive axle is given.
- the sealing element in the region of the drive axle breakthrough can either be injection-molded or mounted.
- the sealing element in the region of the drive axle breakthrough is preferably mounted, since it preferably consists of silicone, which is processed in a method other than the injection molding process.
- the sealing element has a bellows-like shape so that the seal is ensured even when the axis is deflected.
- the switch parts are manufactured by injection molding.
- the front shell part uses a so-called multi-component injection molding process.
- the hard component is injection-molded, onto which structure the soft component is injected.
- a one-component injection molding process is used.
- the brush head recess is inserted in the front switching part.
- the recess of the drive axle perforation is arranged, from which the drive axle protrudes, but which is not visible in the finished handset, since the adapter is plugged onto the drive axle and thus covers or protects the drive axle.
- the brush head can be plugged onto the adapter so that it is at least partially inserted in the brush head recess.
- handle recesses are created. These are to ensure that the brush head can be better mounted on the adapter and disassembled. Due to the fact that the brush head lies in the brush head recess, it can otherwise only be grasped poorly.
- two handle recesses are realized and these are preferably offset by 180 °. But it is also conceivable to introduce further handle recesses, but preferably always so that two 180 ° are arranged opposite to each other.

- the depth at the rear end is preferably about 0.5 mm less than at the front end.
- the depth is laterally 2 mm to 5 mm, preferably 3 mm to 4 mm larger than the depth in the upper area. This is due to the wiping movement of the brush head.
- the length of the handle recesses is between 10 mm and 20 mm, preferably between 12 mm and 18 mm.
- the facial brush or massage brush or massage brush is equipped with a rechargeable energy storage, a rechargeable battery.

- a possible confusion security or prevention of incorrectly orienting mounting of the brush head on the adapter can be achieved by certain elements an interface by corresponding arrangement (counter profile) and clear orientation cause a clear assembly.
- an assembly of components that are not optimally matched to one another is mechanically prevented by, for example, the fact that projections and depressions of the components to be assembled do not fit together in the case of incorrect or poorly shaped components. But there are also other concretely matched corresponding shapes conceivable.

About these two Elements is the so-called printed circuit board attached, which includes the electrical connections, the control and the on-off switch.
- the motor is designed to make a reversing or oscillating reciprocating motion.
- the motor axis is L-shaped connected to the drive axle. In this way, the drive shaft also moves reversing back and forth. In the end, the brush head is moved in the same way, resulting in a wiping back and forth movement.
- the brush head is moved on a circular arc with center motor axis. Strictly speaking, when viewed perpendicularly to the handpiece, there is also a certain up-and-down movement, since the brush head moves on a circular arc, different bristle spacings / bristle heights positions are achieved.
- the starting point of the movement is in the middle of the handset.
- the oscillating armature drive is designed so that this or the motor shaft automatically centered in the off state by means integrated in the drive means such as spring means.
- the brush head is mounted perpendicular to the drive axle, so that the motor axis is not loaded in the longitudinal direction in the case.
- the pressure that happens during mounting is not transmitted directly to the engine.
- the advantage of disassembly is that the motor shaft is not pulled out of the motor.
- the fixed on the brush head bristles take over the movement but still make some additional movement. Due to their flexibility, they overshoot laterally at the reversal point of the movement. That is, the bristles are stimulated and overshoot by the movement.
- the system is preferably designed so that the bristles are near the resonant frequency.

- a quieter movement is achieved if the movement is not controlled by a rectangular signal, but sinusoidal.
- the engine runs” quieter and it is achieved less noise.
- a zone timer which gives the application a certain timing.
- the zone timer tells the user when to handle a next zone. This is important because too long a treatment, for example on the face, can lead to skin irritations.
- the necessary zone change is then signaled, for example, by stopping the engine, changing the frequency, visual indication, etc.
- Another safety feature to prevent over-treatment of the skin can be an auto-off timer.
- the motor stops automatically after a certain application time. This time is preferably in the range of 15 seconds to 120 seconds.
