Definitions
- the invention relates to a razor with its own lighting system.
- the object of the present invention is to enable the user of an electric shaver to have an optimally illuminated shave at any time, regardless of the light conditions found in each case.
- the shaver is equipped according to the invention with its own lighting system as a fixed component, with which one can then adequately illuminate the desired skin region.
- This lighting system should, if possible, be installed in the shaver without having to change the housing. Since this may not be possible with all models on the market, here are some alternative solutions.
- the actual light source is to be installed where there is space, and the emitting device (s) using an optical fiber, e.g. a fiber optic cable to connect to the light source.
- an optical fiber e.g. a fiber optic cable
- the advantage of using such a light guide is also that several light emitting devices arranged at different locations can be produced from one light source.
- the light source in the shaver If no space can be created for the light source in the shaver, it is provided to arrange it outside the shaver, for example by attaching it to the power plug, the light then being guided through the shaver by means of a light guide which is attached to the power cable through to the location or locations of the desired light emission (there are very thin and flexible fiber optic cables).
- the lighting system be attached to the outside of the shaving apparatus and then covered with a cladding, or that a correspondingly enlarged housing be created immediately.
- the emitting devices or the entire lighting system are located in the upper, removable part of the shaving apparatus, it is provided that the light or current supply line can be separated and put together again by means of suitable plug connections.
- the light should now be able to be emitted in the way that is most helpful or sensible for a thorough shave.
- the user only wants to use the lighting during the short shaving breaks, where he sets the shaver down, in order to examine the intermediate result (or after the procedure has been completed, the end result), i.e. if he wants to illuminate the skin from a few centimeters away, he will probably not twist his hand and thus the direction of the shaver.
- the required direction of light emission is practically predetermined. The optimal location for the radiation device (s) would then be next to the shear blade.
- the level available for the emitting devices should not run parallel to the level most suitable for this task, but rather obliquely with a more or less large angle (up to 90 °).
- the optimal level is not always available (because the emitting devices cannot always be arranged next to the shear blade).
- the light must be emitted differently than perpendicularly from the plane in question in order to be able to illuminate the desired skin area. So it is necessary to change the direction of the light (possibly also its increase, i.e. its bundling or fanning).
- a fiber optic cable is used as the light guide, its end can be ground - in accordance with the desired light distribution - so that it does not end in a largely smooth surface (as usual), but e.g. in the form of a dome.
- the individual fiber ends are moved apart and distributed over a larger area, e.g. in order to supply a glass plate - covering the adjustment device - with light evenly from below.
- the direction and scatter of the light can be changed as required by striking the light before it is finally emitted or passing it through appropriately processed glass.
- the light source or the end of the light guide can be arranged in the focus of a funnel-shaped device made of mirror glass (similar to a flashlight, only on a smaller scale).
- the emitting device can also be covered by a glass or plexiglass plate, into which the ribs and grooves are incorporated for the purpose of (targeted) redistribution and redirection of the light.
- the dimensions of such a pane can be adapted not only in length and width, but also in the third spatial dimension to the respective requirements, i.e. the disc can e.g. be curved to conform to the curves of the surface of the shaver.
- light-emitting devices either either the actual light source or one or more ends of the light guide
- This moving out can be operated by a mechanical system, e.g. p ⁇ wheels or levers to operate, or automatically by means of motor power (can be switched on separately when starting up the radar apparatus od ⁇ 5), and should end in a lock.
- a mechanical system e.g. p ⁇ wheels or levers to operate
- motor power can be switched on separately when starting up the radar apparatus od ⁇ 5
- One or more mirrors can also be assigned to such a mobile or stationary device in order to be able to additionally change the direction and distribution of the emitted light.
- the use of magnifying mirrors or upstream glass panes (designed as 10 diffusers) can also make sense.
- This device can also either be permanently installed on the surface of the shaving apparatus (already in the oblique position required) or can be designed to be foldable (in order to then serve as a cover when the radiation device is closed).
- the switch should only be made again after there is no contact if this pause in contact lasts for a few tenths of a second.
- the length of this delay time can be set by the user.
- the light source or the end of the light guide should be inclined and also oriented vertically, i.e. Their height in comparison to the surrounding device made of mirror glass can be changed, but this can also be achieved (with regard to the vertical changeability again as with a flashlight) by a corresponding movement of the mirror device.
- These settings can be carried out by means of screw rotation ⁇ , with permanently rotatable screws changing the respective position and tightenable screws causing fixation.
- the individual irradiated areas can also be partially or completely covered, i.e. to be put together.
- the glass pane that covers the lighting device is displaced or
- Light can also vary.
- the devices on or above the surface of the shaving apparatus should also be changed in their orientation and can be fixed in this new position. ' (ie light source or light guide and possibly a mirror or diffusing screen)
- the hinged mirror which diverts the light from below the surface of the shaving apparatus, should also be designed to be variable in its arrangement. This is achieved on the one hand by not fastening it over the entire edge, but only by means of a connection piece, for example in the form of a small tube, which is fastened to the middle of the edge and is put over a pin, on its side on the surface the shaver is attached. So the mirror can be rotated and should be able to be fixed in a correspondingly changed position.
- this connecting piece can be positioned on the edge of the emitting device; the possibility of moving this connecting piece in a type of rail and then being able to fix it in the desired position is also provided.
- the angle that the mirror forms in the opened state with the emitting device should be changeable by the device that fixes this inclination and can be adjusted.
- the direction in which the light is then emitted by this mirror can of course also be varied by changing the setting (already described above) since the emitting device assigned to the mirror.
- Shaving habits of the user can be taken into account.
