Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor-driven epilation head for an epilation device, in particular for plucking hairs of the human skin.
  • the invention furthermore relates to an epilation device.
  • Epilation devices serve for removing hairs, if possible including the roots thereof.
  • Known epilation devices are designed in such a way, for example, that the hairs are clamped between adjacent clamping elements and plucked by means of a movement of the clamping elements relative to the skin. This typically requires that the clamping elements are closed in a predetermined position in each case in order to capture the hairs, moved into another predetermined position in a closed state together with the clamped hairs, and then reopened in order to release the plucked hairs.
  • the clamping elements may be arranged, for example, on a rotation cylinder that is set in rotation by means of an electric motor.
  • the opening and closing of the clamping elements is controlled by means of a control mechanism that can be designed in various ways.
  • the control mechanism has actuation elements that act on the clamping elements, such that the clamping elements are closed or opened.
  • the epilation cylinder can be provided from a number of disks.
  • the disks are arranged around an axis which generally froms an angle, such that, upon rotation the disks open on the one side and close on the other side.
  • the closing action can be used for plucking hairs.
  • These relatively simple devices can also employ several structures for grasping hair on a single disk.
  • a epilation device of this type is disclosed in EP 1 852 033 A1 .
  • a rotation cylinder of the type employing actuation elements is known, for example, from EP 547 386 A .
  • the rotation cylinder that is disclosed there for an epilation device is designed in such a way that movable clamping elements are coupled to actuation elements.
  • the clamping elements can be moved toward one another in order to carry out a plucking movement. In the process, one clamping element in each case moves toward a central clamping element from the left and from the right.
  • an epilation device is known from EP 1 203 544 A1 in which the actuation elements are designed in the form of rods and arranged around the shaft of the rotation cylinder. All of the rods are coupled to a single return spring in such a way that the clamping elements are pretensioned via the rods in the direction toward the opened state.
  • the rods are actuated in such a way that the clamping elements are displaced in an axial direction by overcoming the spring force of the return spring. These are displaced by the action of the return spring while in the non-actuated state of the rods and the clamping elements are opened as a result.
  • the object of the invention is to equip an epilation device with a large number of clamping elements, while keeping the expenditure of time and effort involved in the epilation process reasonable.
  • the invention also aim at attaining as thorough and painless an epilation process as possible. In doing so, the epilation should be effective both on skin with thick hair growth and with sparse hair growth.
  • the invention relates to an epilation head for an epilation device, in particular for plucking hair from human skin having
  • the epilation head according to the invention for an epilation device, particularly for plucking hairs of the human skin, has a rotation cylinder capable of rotating about a rotation axis.
  • a multiplicity of plucking gaps is provided on the rotation cylinder for the purpose of plucking hairs.
  • an epilation head for an epilation device in particular for epilation head (3) for an epilation device (1), particularly for plucking hair from human skin, having a rotating cylinder (10) rotating around a rotational axis (36) comprising a first plucking unit (16) and a second plucking unit (18), wherein the first plucking unit (16) comprises a first movable clamping unit (20) and a first stationary clamping unit (22) and wherein the second plucking unit (18) comprises a second movable clamping unit (24) and a second stationary clamping unit (26), wherein the movable clamping unit and the stationary clamping unit form a closable plucking gap and wherein the first movable clamping unit (20) and the second movable clamping unit (22) are movable in a direction essentially parallel to the rotational axis (32) and can each be moved from an open position to a closed position with a push rod (40), characterized in that the first movable clamping unit (20) and
  • the invention additionally relates to an epilation device, in particular for plucking hairs of the human skin, comprising a handheld housing and the epilation head according to the invention.
  • the epilation head can comprise a first plucking unit and a second plucking unit.
  • the epilation head will comprise more than two plucking units, for example at least three, four and five plucking units and up to 20, 30 or 40 plucking units.
  • the plucking units comprise two clamping units which together form a closable plucking gap.
  • the plucking gap is closed by moving a movable clamping unit relative to a stationary clamping unit. Therefore, the epilation head will comprise as many movable clamping elements and stationary clamping elements as it comprises plucking units.
  • the movable clamping units are mobavle in a direciton essentially parallel to the rotational axis. Thereby, by rotating the epilation head, a plucking unit can be brought in skin contact and in a sychronized movement, a plucking unit is closed for grasping hair by moving the movable clamping element towards the stationary element.
  • the epilation head employs at least one actuation element for moving a movable clamping element from the open position to the closed position.
  • the actuation element can be provided by a push rod. It is useful to associate one push rod with one movable clamping unit. In some embodiments of the present invention it could also be, that one push rod is used for the actuation of the first movable clamping element and the second movable clamping element.
  • At least the first movable clamping element and the second movable element are provided by a single component.
  • Providing at least the first movable clamping element and the second movable clamping element by a single component can be done by providing the two elements from a unitary component.
  • the two clamping elements can be provided from subcomponents which are firmly attached as to provide one component when in use. Such attachment will therefore typically happen in the manufacturing process.
  • the attachment can be by mechanical or chemical means.
  • Providing two or more clamping elements in one single component is associated with several advantages.
  • in the manufacturing process at least when assembling the epilation head, fewer components are to be handled.
  • the epilation head can be provided in more compact form.
  • the provision of several clamping elements in the form of several components requires that these several components are mechanically supported by appropriate means. These means must allow to, on the one hand, hold the component in place and on the other hand must allow for it to be movable. Achieving both, holding the component in place, and allowing it to move, can be better achieved if two or movable clamping units are provided by and the same component.
  • first movable clamping element is arranged in a first plane vertical to the rotational axis and the second movable clamping element is arranged in a second plane vertical to the movable axis, wherein the two planes a shifted relative to the direction parallel to the rotational axis.
  • first movable clamping element and the second movable clamping element are offset in the direction of rotation.
  • first movable clamping element and the second movable clamping element are provided at different positions on the circumference of the rotating cylinder.
  • the respective angle is herein referred to as offset angle.
  • the offset angle is from 10° to 170°, or from 30° to 120°, such that the angular offset is from 10° to 170°, or from 30° to 120°.
  • the third plucking gap can be construed essentially as the first and the second plucking gap. Therefore, the third plucking gap will comprise a third movable clamping element and a third stationary clamping element, wherein the third movable clamping element and the third stationary clamping element form the closable plucking gap and wherein the first third movable clamping element is movable in a direction essentially parallel to the rotational axis and can be moved from an open position to a closed position with an actuation element wherein the third movable clamping element and the second movable clamping element are also provided by a single component.
