Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、美容などの目的のために体毛を脱毛するのに使用される脱毛装置に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来から、美容などの目的のために体毛を脱毛するのに使用される脱毛装置として、脱毛手段を２つ具備し、２つの脱毛手段が互いに逆方向に回転するものが国際特許公開ＷＯ９６／０４８１５号（従来例１）により知られている。また、回転方向の反対側に肌押さえ部材を有するものが特開平７−３１３２４２号公報（従来例２）や特開平７−１７７９２６号公報（従来例３）により知られている。上記従来例のうち、従来例１にあっては、逆方向に回転する２つの脱毛ヘッドを逆方向に回転するようになっており、中央にブラシを有している。また、従来例２、従来例３にあっては、１つの脱毛ヘッドを有し、肌当て部材を有している。
【０００３】
しかして、従来例１にあっては、脱毛手段を互いに逆方向に回転して体毛を引き抜くのであるが、弾性を有するブラシでは肌を確実に押さえることができず、このため、前の脱毛手段の後側、後の脱毛手段の前側に弾性体が存在することになり、脱毛手段の回転により、肌が前後に移動し、脱毛により毛が引っ張られて刺激が大きく、肌が移動するため、引き抜き距離が不足して、引き残しが生じる場合がある。
【０００４】
また、従来例２及び従来例３にあっては、回転軸や回動軸に対して、剛体の肌押さえ部材を有し、肌押さえ部材と反対側に回転して脱毛するようになっているが、脱毛方向が一方向なので、腋等のように毛の生え方向が異なる部位では脱毛効率が悪くなり、残った毛を器具を持ち替えて脱毛する必要があり、使い勝手が悪いという問題がある。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は上記の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、腋等の毛の生え方向が異なる部位でも脱毛刺激が少なく、また脱毛効率が良く、使い勝手が良い脱毛装置を提供することを目的とするものである。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、本発明に係る脱毛装置は、手で把持できる本体に、毛を引き抜くための脱毛手段を一対互いに回転軸を平行にして設けると共に、この一対の脱毛手段を互いに逆方向に回転する脱毛装置において、脱毛手段の間に剛体の突起の肌押さえ部材を設け、上記肌押さえ部材の前端が前に位置する脱毛手段の中心と該脱毛手段の肌押さえ部材側の端部との間に位置し、肌押さえ部材の後端が後に位置する脱毛手段の中心と該脱毛手段の肌押さえ部材側の端部との間に位置し、上記肌押さえ部材を構成する剛体の突起を両脱毛手段の上面よりも突出させて成ることを特徴とするものである。このような構成とすることで、腋等の肌の伸びの大きい毛の生え方向の異なる部位で、各々回転方向の異なる脱毛手段により、毛の生え方向に応じて脱毛する時、肌を押さえて肌が移動することがなく、毛を引っ張るだけの痛みを無くし、脱毛時の刺激を少なくし、少ない引き抜き距離で脱毛時の刺激を少なくし、少ない引き抜き距離で脱毛できて効率的な脱毛を達成できることになる。また、肌押さえ部材を構成する剛体の突起を両脱毛手段の上面よりも突出させ、脱毛手段を互いに逆方向に回転させるので、肌が互いに逆方向に引っ張られるときの刺激を防止しており、また、毛が同時に逆方向に脱毛されたり、また、どちらか一方の脱毛ブロックによって脱毛されたときに毛と同時に肌が引っ張られるのを防止している。また、肌押さえ部材の前端が前に位置する脱毛手段の中心と該脱毛手段の肌押さえ部材側の端部との間に位置し、肌押さえ部材の後端が後に位置する脱毛手段の中心と該脱毛手段の肌押さえ部材側の端部との間に位置しているので、脱毛手段の肌との接触部に肌押さえ部材が近づくことができ、肌押さえ部材の肌との接触部が増加することなり、肌を効果的に押さえることができるものである。
【０００９】
また、肌押さえ部材が振動し且つ脱毛手段の爪の開閉と同期していることが好ましい。このような構成とすることで、毛を引き抜くとき、肌を更に伸ばすことができるものである。
【００１０】
また、肌押さえ部材にローラを形成することが好ましい。このような構成とすることで、回転自在なローラにより、装置の肌へのすべり易さや肌当りを良くすることができるものである。
【００１１】
また、肌押さえ部材が剛体と弾性体で構成してあることが好ましい。このような構成とすることで、肌との摩擦抵抗を増して、更に、効果的に肌を押さえて、肌当りを良くすることができる。
【００１２】
また、肌押さえ部材が着脱自在であることが好ましい。このような構成とすることで、肌押さえ部材を取り外すことで、脱毛手段の掃除が容易にできるものである。
【００１４】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を説明する。
【００１５】
脱毛装置は、図１乃至図５に示すようにモータ１１を内蔵する本体１と、脱毛手段を内蔵する２つの脱毛ブロック２とから構成してある。本体１は、二つ割りのハウジング１０内に上記モータ１１、モータ１１の出力軸に取り付けたピニオン４と噛合するフェイスギア５、フェイスギア５に一体に設けられるギア５ａと噛合する中間ギア６、中間ギア６と噛合し一方の脱毛ブロック２を駆動させる駆動ギア７、中間ギア６と噛合した他方の脱毛ブロック２を駆動する駆動ギア８、９を内装し、また、ハウジング１０の下部に電源ジャック１４を固定した下カバー３を取り付け、更に、ハウジング１０にモータ１１をオン、オフするためのスイッチ１５を設けて構成してある。
【００１６】
脱毛ブロック２は図２、図６乃至図９に示すように、基台となる爪取付台２０に脱毛ブロック２の回転軸Ｊ４に平行に且つ円周に所定間隔で配置された３つの爪ブロック２１と、脱毛ブロック２を回転させるために駆動ギア７または駆動ギア９と噛合し爪取付台２０に連結される爪取付台ギア５０とからなるものとして形成してある。ここで、２つの脱毛ブロック２は本体１の上部の前後に回転軸Ｊ４が平行となるように配置されるものであるが、一方の脱毛ブロック２には軸方向の一方の片側に爪取付台ギア５０が設けられ、他方の脱毛ブロック２には軸方向の他方の片側に爪取付台ギア５０が設けられるものである。
【００１７】
脱毛ブロック２の駆動は以下のようにして行われる。すなわち、モータ１１の回転に伴い軸Ｊ１に取り付けられたフェイスギア５が回転すると、それに伴い軸Ｊ２に取り付けられている中間ギア６がギア５ａによって回転伝達されて、更に軸Ｊ３に取り付けられている駆動ギア８を介して駆動ギア９が一方の脱毛ブロック２の爪取付台２０に連結された爪取付台ギア５０を回転させる。他方の脱毛ブロック２は、爪取付台ギア５０が一方の脱毛ブロック２とは反対側に設けられていて、中間ギア６の回転駆動を駆動ギア８、９とは反対側に設けられた駆動ギア７に伝達し、他方の脱毛ブロック２を回転させている。このように一方の脱毛ブロック２の駆動手段を当該脱毛ブロック２の軸方向の一方の端部側に設け、これと平行な他方の脱毛ブロック２の駆動手段を当該脱毛ブロック２の軸方向の他方の端部側に設けることで（つまり駆動手段が両側に配置するように設けることで）、一方の側面に駆動音が集中することなく、両側面に分散されて、音の低い脱毛装置とすることができるものである。また、添付図面に示す実施形態のように伝達手段をギア列にすることで、組み立て性がよく、構造を簡略化できるものである。また、ギア段数を一方の脱毛ブロック２を回転させる方を偶数数段（駆動ギア７、８）、他方の脱毛ブロック２を回転させるギア段数を奇数段（駆動ギア９）にすることで、２つの脱毛ブロック２を互いに異なる方向に回転することができ、腋などの毛の生え方向の異なる部位をそれぞれの適した脱毛ブロック２で抜くことができるものである。
【００１８】
脱毛手段を構成する爪ブロック２１は、図１０に示すように固定爪３０と爪支持部３１とを設けた爪支持部材３５と、可動爪３２と、可動爪３２を爪ブロック２１の回転軸方向に揺動させるための一対の開閉レバー３３、３４とで構成してある。
【００１９】
爪支持部材３５は中央部が開口した長方形状をした枠体部３５ｂの開口部分に枠体部３５ｂの長手方向に一定間隔を隔てて固定爪３０と爪支持部３１とを交互に配設すると共に固定爪３０と爪支持部３１との両端部をそれぞれ枠体部３５ｂに一体に形成してあり、また、枠体部３５ｂの長手方向の両端部の下面部にフック部３５ａが形成してある。ここで、固定爪３０は枠体部３５ｂの両側枠部３５ｃよりも上方に突出しており、更に、固定爪３０及び爪支持部３１の両端部は枠体部３５ｂの両側枠部３５ｃよりも内側に引き込んで位置している。
【００２０】
開閉レバー３３の前面には一定間隔でスリット溝３３ａが形成してあり、また、開閉レバー３３の一端部の一側面側からリブ３３ｂが設けてある。開閉レバー３４の前面には一定間隔でスリット溝３４ａが形成してあり、また、開閉レバー３４の他端部の他側面側からリブ３４ｂが設けてあり、一対の開閉レバー３３、３４を並べた状態で、リブ３３ｂが開閉レバー３４の他端部（リブ３４ｂを設けていない方の端部）と対向し、リブ３４ｂが開閉レバー３３の他端部（リブ３３ｂを設けていない方の端部）と対向させ、リブ３３ｂと開閉レバー３４の他端部との間乃至リブ３４ｂと開閉レバー３３の他端部との間にコイルスプリングのようなばね３６を介在させ、この状態で、一対の開閉レバー３３、３４のリブ３３ｂ、３４ｂをそれぞれ爪支持部材３５のフック部３５ａにスライド自在に嵌め込むことで、一対の開閉レバー３３を爪支持部材３５に組み込むものである。その後、可動爪３２の突部３２ａが前後で反対になるように、開閉レバー３３、３４のスリット溝３３ａ、３３ｂい嵌め込む。この時、嵌め込んだ状態で開閉レバー３３、３４はばね３６の付勢により互いに反対側に押されるが、可動爪３２の先端部の毛の挟持部が図１０に示すように、固定爪３０より離れるように爪支持部材３５に組み込まれるものである。ここで、可動爪３２は、固定爪３０と爪支持部３１に設けられた支点部３０ａ、３１ａを支点として揺動するものである。このように開閉手段と毛の把持部材が一つのブロック体として構成してある。このように構成することで、脱毛手段を小型化でき、腋等の毛が見えやすく、狙いやすくなるため、脱毛効率が良く、使い勝手のよいものとすることができる。
【００２１】
また、図１１には爪ブロック２１の構成の他の実施形態が示してある。この実施形態においては、開閉レバー３３、３４にそれぞれ複数個の可動爪３２を一体に形成したものである。開閉レバー３３の可動爪３２と、開閉レバー３４の可動爪３２とが互いに交互に位置するように、開閉レバー３３、３４を組み合わせ、一つのブロック体として構成している。このように構成することで、簡単な構造でブロック化でき、更に小型のヘッドにしても組み立て性が向上するものである。
【００２２】
爪取付台２０には回転軸Ｊ４と平行に且つ円周に所定間隔で複数の溝２０ａが設けてあり、この溝２０ａは回転軸Ｊ４と平行な方向の両端部のうちの一方と、爪取付台２０の外面とに開口しており、また爪取付台２０の半径方向において溝２０ａの外面側の開口縁部に支持部２０ｃが設けてある。溝２０には前述のようにしてブロック化した爪ブロック２１が軸方向の一端部の開口からスライドして嵌め込むことで組み込まれるものであり、この場合、溝２０内の幅広となった部分に枠体部３５ｂの側枠部３５ｃが嵌め込まれて支持部２０ｃが側枠部３５ｃの外面側に当たって爪ブロック２１が爪取付台２０の半径方向に支持され、回転軸Ｊ４と直交する方向への抜け止めがなされることになる。また、爪ブロック２１における毛の把持部材を構成するの固定爪３０と可動爪３２との先端部が溝２０ａの爪取付台２０の外面側の開口から外方に突出している。また、この状態で、図７に示すように、溝２０ａの爪取付台２０の外面側の開口端は爪支持部材３５の可動爪３２の揺動支点と一致させてある。
【００２３】
また、爪ブロック２１の長手方向（回転軸Ｊ４と平行な方向）の抜け止めは、一方は爪ブロック２１の端部の固定爪３０ｂの側面が爪取付台２０の一方の端部に設けた当たり部２０ｃに当ることによってなされ、また、他端部は爪取付台２０の側面に設けられた孔２０１に爪取付ギア５０に設けられたリブが圧入固定され、これにより爪ブロック２１の長手方向（回転軸Ｊ４と平行な方向）の抜け止めがなされる。このように両端部で爪ブロック２１の抜け止めをさせることで取り付け強度を向上させている。
【００２４】
爪取付台２０の周方向には複数のリブ２０ｂが形成してあり、この複数のリブ２０ｂは図１２、図１３に示すように、回転方向において、後方に位置する爪ブロック２１の固定爪３０と同一位置となっている。図１２において矢印イは回転方向を示し、図１３（ａ）は図１２のａ矢視図であり、図１３（ｂ）は図１２のｂ矢視図であり、図１３（ｃ）は図１２のｃ矢視図である。そして、この実施形態においては固定爪３０の位置が図１３に示すように互いにずれて位置するように構成してあり、このため、固定爪３０の後方に位置するリブ２０ｂとはずれたものとなっている。
【００２５】
また、２つの脱毛ブロック２間には剛体の突起の肌押さえ部材５５が設けてある。肌押さえ部材５５は長手方向の両端部にリブ５５ａが突設してあり、ハウジング１０に設けた角孔１０１に嵌め込まれて固定してある。この肌押さえ部材５５は、その前後に位置する２つの脱毛ブロック２の上面よりも若干突出させてある。これは２つの脱毛ブロック２の上面よりも肌押さえ部材５５を若干突出させて肌に押さえつけることによって、脱毛ブロック２が互いに逆方向に回転していることにより、肌が互いに逆方向に引っ張られるときの刺激を防止しており、また、毛が同時に逆方向に脱毛されたり、また、どちらか一方の脱毛ブロック２によって脱毛されたときに毛と同時に肌が引っ張られるのを防止している。
【００２６】
ここで、図６に示す実施形態のように、肌押さえ部材５５の前端は前に位置する脱毛手段である脱毛ブロック２の中心とこの前に位置する脱毛ブロック２の肌押さえ部材５５側の端部との間（図６においてＭ１の範囲）に位置しており、また、肌押さえ部材５５の後端が後に位置する脱毛手段である脱毛ブロック２の中心と該脱毛ブロック２の肌押さえ部材５５側の端部との間（図６においてＭ２の範囲）に位置するように構成することで、脱毛手段である脱毛ブロック２の肌との接触部に肌押さえ部材５５が近づくことができ、肌押さえ部材５５の肌との接触部が増加することなり、肌を効果的に押さえることができるものである。
【００２７】
脱毛ブロック２の回転における可動爪３２の揺動は、開閉レバー３３、３４の両端部に配置されるカム手段により行われる。カム手段は軸Ｊ５に対して回転自在にローラ４０を取り付けて構成してあり、爪取付台２０の回転軸Ｊ４がハウジング１０に取り付けられる孔１０ａの上方に設けた孔１０ｂに軸Ｊ５を固定し、ローラ４０を回転自在とするものである。そして、脱毛ブロック２が爪取付台ギア５０によって回転し、爪ブロック２１の一つが上方に回転してくると、当該開閉レバー３３、３４の端部がローラ４０によって押されて開閉レバー３３、３４が互いに内側に変位され、可動爪３２が爪支持部材３５に設けられた固定爪３０と爪支持部３１の支点部３０ａ、３０ｂを支点として固定爪３０を挟むようにして揺動され、これにより、固定爪３０と可動爪３２とで毛を挟持し、脱毛ブロック２が回転することで脱毛し、更に、脱毛ブロック２が回転することで、当該脱毛もうブロック２の開閉レバー３３、３４からローラ４０から離れ、ばね３６の弾性力により開閉レバー３３、３４が互いに離れる方向に移動し、これにより脱毛した毛を離すものである。
【００２８】
図１４、図１５には参考例が示してある。すなわち、図１４、図１５にはハウジング１０の上端部に設けた角孔１０１に肌押さえ部材５５に設けた弾性を有するフック９０を挿入係止して肌押さえ部材５５を取り付けるものである。ここで、肌押さえ部材５５には弾性を有するリブ５５ｂが設けてあり、このリブ５５ｂがハウジング１０に設けた凹凸部分８０ａ、８０ｂと係合している。そして肌押さえ部材５５に設けたリブ部５５ｃに指を当てて肌押さえ部材５５を上下方向に移動させることで、肌押さえ部材５５が上下方向に移動自在となり、この時リブ５５ｂが任意部の高さ位置の凹部８０ａと係合することで、肌押さえ部材５５が任意の高さ位置で保持されるものである。このように、肌押さえ部材５５の突起の高さを可変自在とすることで、肌の状態に応じて肌押さえ部材により確実に押さえることができるものである。
【００２９】
ところで、図１４、図１５に示す参考例においては、更に、脱毛ブロック２の間に剛体の突起の肌押さえ部材５５を設けるに当って、肌押さえ部材５５を両脱毛ブロック２間で且つ両脱毛ブロック２間に挟まれた領域よりも外側に配置してある。すなわち、ハウジング１０の上端部に設けた角孔１０１に肌押さえ部材５５に設けた弾性を有するフック９０を挿入係止してハウジング１０の上端部の中央部の両外側にそれぞれ図１４（ｂ）に示すような肌押さえ部材５５を取り付けるものである。このように、肌押さえ部材５５を両脱毛ブロック２の間に挟まれた領域よりも外側に配置することで、２つの脱毛ブロック２の距離を近づけることができ、肌当接部を小さくすることができ、腋等の形状に当てやすくなり、抜き残しが少なくなり、より効率的な脱毛ができるものである。
【００３０】
また、図１６，図１７には本発明の更に他の実施形態が示してある。本実施形態においては、肌押さえ部材５５の長手方向の両端部に設けたリブ５５ａがハウジング１０に設けた上下方向に長い長孔状の角孔１０１に上下移動自在に嵌め込まれている。また、駆動ギア８にカム８８が設けてあり、駆動ギア８が回転することでカム８８が回転し、肌押さえ部材５５の下端に設けた凸部７１がカム８８と係合し、凸部７１がカム８８のカム凹部８８ｂに対応するときは肌押さえ部材５５が下死点にあり、凸部７１がカム凸部８８ａに対応する時は肌押さえ部材５５が肌に突出し、カム形状に応じて肌押さえ部材５５が振動するようになっている。この時、可動爪３２の開閉のタイミングと同期して肌押さえ部材５５が振動するようになっている。すなわち、可動爪３２が閉じて毛を挟持し、引き抜く時に肌押さえ部材５５が肌に突出して、肌をよりしっかりと押さえるようになっている。また、肌伸ばし５５のリブ５５ａとハウジング１０の角孔１０１の上面内壁との間にはばね７０が設けてあり、ばね７０によって肌伸ばし５５を下方に押圧し、肌押さえ部材５５の凸部７１がカムの凹凸に常に接触した状態を維持させており、これにより肌押さえ部材５５に安定した振動を与えることができるものである。
【００３１】
次に、図１８に基づいて本発明の更に他の実施形態を説明する。本実施形態においては、肌押さえ部材５５に切欠部５５ｅが設けてあり、この切欠部５５ｅに肌押さえ部材ローラ１００を配置してあって、軸Ｊ１０を肌押さえ部材５５に設けた５５ｄに挿入することで、肌押さえ部材用のローラ１００を肌押さえ部材５５に回転自在に取り付けてある。このように、肌押さえ部材５５にローラ１００を回転自在に設けることで、脱毛装置の肌へのすべり易さや肌当りを良くすることができるものである。
【００３２】
また、図１９には本発明の更に他の実施形態が示してある。本実施形態においては、肌押さえ部材５５の上部を帯状に弾性材６０である弾性エラストマーで囲んであり、肌押さえ部材５５の下部は硬質部材（剛体）で構成してある。このように、肌押さえ部材５５を剛体と弾性体で構成することで、肌との摩擦抵抗を増して、更に、効果的に肌を押さえて、肌当りを良くすることができる。
【００３３】
また、図２０は肌押さえ部材５５を着脱自在とした例が示してある。本実施形態においては、肌押さえ部材５５の両端下部に弾性を有する着脱フック５５ｆが設けてあり、この着脱フック５５ｆがハウジング１０に設けた係合部１０ｃに着脱自在に係合して肌押さえ部材５５がハウジング１０に着脱自在に取り付けられるようになっている。また、肌押さえ部材５５には両側面に着脱凸部５５ｇが設けてあり、この着脱凸部５５ｇに内側に力を加えることで、ハウジング１０の係合部１０ｃに係合していた着脱フック５５ｆが外れて、肌押さえ部材５５をハウジング１０から取り外すことができるようになっている。このように、肌押さえ部材５５をハウジング１０に対して着脱自在とすることで、脱毛ブロック２を掃除する際に、肌押さえ部材５５を取り外すことで容易に脱毛ブロック２の掃除ができるものである。
【００３４】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hair removal device used for hair removal for cosmetic purposes.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a hair removal device used for hair removal for the purpose of cosmetics or the like, there are two hair removal means, and the two hair removal means rotate in opposite directions to each other. International Patent Publication WO96 / 04815 No. 1 (conventional example 1). Further, those having a skin pressing member on the opposite side of the rotation direction are known from Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-313242 (Conventional Example 2) and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-177926 (Conventional Example 3). Among the conventional examples, in the conventional example 1, two epilation heads rotating in the opposite directions are rotated in the opposite directions and have a brush in the center. Moreover, in the prior art example 2 and the prior art example 3, it has one epilation head and has a skin contact member.
[0003]
Thus, in Conventional Example 1, the hair removal means rotates in the opposite directions to pull out the body hair, but the elastic brush cannot reliably hold the skin, and therefore the previous hair removal means Because there is an elastic body on the back side, the front side of the subsequent epilation means, the skin moves back and forth by the rotation of the epilation means, the hair is pulled by the epilation and the stimulation is large, the skin moves, There may be a case where the pull-out distance is insufficient and the undrawn portion occurs.
[0004]
Moreover, in the prior art example 2 and the prior art example 3, it has a rigid skin pressing member with respect to a rotating shaft or a rotating shaft, and rotates to the side opposite to the skin pressing member to remove hair. However, since the hair removal direction is unidirectional, hair removal efficiency is poor at sites where the hair growth direction is different, such as wrinkles, and there is a problem in that it is necessary to change the hair after changing the equipment and remove the hair.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a hair removal device that has little hair removal stimulation, has good hair removal efficiency, and is easy to use even at sites where hair growth directions such as wrinkles are different. Is.
[0006]
