Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dehairing device with a housing and at least one clamping device formed by a helical spring for detecting the hair to be removed and a drive for moving the clamping device relative to the hair and the housing.
  • Motorized hair removal devices have become known in a number of different designs.
  • Depilatory devices which operate using helical springs ( _ detect the hair between compressed parts of such springs, and when such helical springs are moved along a curved path, a detection of the hair on the concave side of such curved paths by compression of adjacent turns therein Area is enabled.
  • All known hair removal devices of the type mentioned at the outset are distinguished by a more or less pronounced minimum length of the detectable hair, so that relatively short hair can generally not be detected. Furthermore, it is by no means to be regarded as guaranteed in the known devices that a movement of the device relative to the hair actually leads to a detectability of this hair, since the respective orientation of the hair to be removed changes and relatively largely with a relatively uniform movement of the hair removal device in a certain direction can be oriented to this direction of movement.
  • the hair removal device essentially consists in that at least one guide device leading in the direction of the movement of the clamping device relative to the hair is connected to the drive.
  • guide devices leading the clamping device are connected to the drive for the movement of the clamping device results first of all in the advantage that when the clamping device moves to detect hair, these hairs are oriented in the same sense of movement, so that the recording by the clamping device is improved and the safety when dehairing is substantially increased.
  • the orientation of the hair to be removed which is achieved in this way also leads to a reduction in the possible sensation of pain during depilation, since the length of insertion or clamping length remains essentially constant until the hair is removed.
  • the uncomfortable and sometimes painful side effects of dehairing devices are primarily due to different lengths of hair gripped by clamping devices, with reliable depilation not being possible, especially if the length is too long, but a high degree of pain sensation is the result.
  • the design according to the invention is such that the housing has a rotatably mounted head, in which at least one clamping device formed by a helical spring with an axis running essentially in the radial direction and compressible and expandable in this direction is arranged and that the guide device is arranged by at least one comb or a brush arranged essentially parallel to or including an acute angle with the axis of the clamping device forms is.
  • the design is advantageously made such that the guide device has passage openings which can be clamped ⁇ taper the device, the passage openings of the guide device preferably being aligned with the expanded clamping device with gaps between adjacent turns of the coil spring. All of these measures serve directly to improve the depilation effect with a relatively simple construction.
  • the guide device is designed as a comb, the desired shape with tapering passage openings 5 can be ensured by a corresponding material cross section of the teeth.
  • the axes of the passage openings of the guide device are arranged essentially tangentially to circles passing through the passage opening, the centers of which correspond to the axis of rotation of the head.
  • the configuration is preferably such that a stationary ladder device surrounds the moving clamping device and the guide device.
  • this guide device By means of this guide device, any oriented and curled hair is fed in a defined manner to the clamping device and the guide device, which is likewise driven.
  • the design is such that the guide device is formed by a ring provided with grooves, the grooves being inclined to a radial of the rotatably mounted head.
  • the grooves, which are inclined to a radial of the rotatably mounted head ensure that the hair is oriented so that all of the hair is removed reliably when treatment is as painless as possible. Due to the movement of the hair removal device relative to the part of the body to be depilated, the hair is first gripped in the grooves by the stationary guide device formed by a ring and is reliably fed to the clamping device and the guide device which is also driven.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section through a hair removal device according to the invention
  • 2 shows, on an enlarged scale, a plan view according to arrow II of FIG. 1 of the rotating head of the hair removal device according to the invention
  • 3 shows a schematic diagram on a further enlarged scale to illustrate the functional principle of the depilation device according to the invention
  • 4 shows a modified form of the embodiment in a representation similar to FIG Depilatory device according to the invention
  • Figure 5 shows a section along the line VV of Figure 4.
  • a motor 3 is mounted, which via a gear arrangement 4, for example in the form of a plurality of toothed pinions, rotates a head 6 which is rotatably mounted about an axis 5 drives in the direction of arrow 7.
  • a gear arrangement 4 for example in the form of a plurality of toothed pinions, rotates a head 6 which is rotatably mounted about an axis 5 drives in the direction of arrow 7.
  • ⁇ m rotary head which position is shown in Figure 2 on an enlarged scale, a plurality of coil springs 8 are mounted, extending with respect to the axis of rotation 5 in a substantially radial direction, wherein the longitudinal axes 9 of the individual coil springs stretch substantially parallel to the surface 10 of the rotating head 6.
  • the coil springs 8 are arranged in the radial direction along their longitudinal axis 9 in a compressible and expandable manner, the right coil spring 8 in the expanded state and the left coil spring in the compressed state in the illustration according to FIG is shown. Likewise, in the illustration according to FIG. 2, adjacent coil springs 8 are shown on the one hand in the compressed and on the other hand in the expanded state.
  • the individual coil springs 8 are each provided with guide devices 15 in the form of a comb arranged directly in front of the springs.
  • the combs or guide devices 15 are arranged substantially parallel to the longitudinal axes 9 of the coil springs 8 or enclose an acute angle with them.
  • the through openings 16 of the guide devices or the gaps between the individual teeth of the combs 15 essentially correspond to the gaps between adjacent turns of the coil springs 8 in the expanded state, the through openings 16 also tapering to the clamping devices in the form of the coil springs 8 are trained. Furthermore, the distance between the guide devices 15 and the clamping devices 8 is selected such that it corresponds to 0.5 to 3 times the clear width of the distance between adjacent turns of the clamping devices or coil springs 8 in the expanded state.
  • the axes of the passage openings 16 are arranged essentially tangentially to circles passing through the passage openings 16, the center of which is the axis of rotation, for good grasping of the hair and feeding the same between adjacent turns of the springs 5 of the rotating head 6 corresponds.
  • the clamping angle ⁇ is also indicated in FIG. 2, which, for example, is approximately 70 ° in order to enable the hair to be removed efficiently and as painlessly as possible.
  • the mode of operation is again shown in detail in the schematic illustration according to FIG.
  • the conically tapering passage opening 16 between adjacent teeth or elements 18 of the guide devices 15 is clearly visible.
  • the alignment of the hair ensures efficient insertion of the hair between adjacent windings 20 of the helical spring or clamping device 8 and enables hair to be removed more painlessly and much more efficiently.
  • clamping devices in the form of helical springs 8 are in turn mounted in a rotatable head, wherein the clamping devices are assigned guide devices 15.
  • the rotatably mounted head is surrounded by a stationary ring 21, additional guide devices in the form of grooves 22 being provided in the edges.
  • the grooves 22 run here inclined to a radial designated schematically by 23, the angle of inclination being designated by ⁇ .
  • the outer ring which surrounds the rotatably mounted head and is provided with grooves, ensures a pre-orientation of the hair to be gripped so that the supplied hair is reliably gripped and removed by the guide devices 15 and the clamping devices 8.
  • the grooves 22 in the ring 21 are essentially at the same height as the effective surface of the rotatably mounted head 6 ends and that the ring 21 at the outer end of the grooves 22 is inclined downward, so that the hair can be gripped securely by the grooves 22.
