Definitions
- the invention relates to an epilation device for plucking hair from human skin, with a housing in which an epilation head driven by drive means is mounted, which has clamping elements which, when actuated by actuating means, perform closing and opening movements in order to pinch hair and eject and with straightening elements for loading the hair.
- Hair to be plucked can be most effectively and safely grasped by the clamping elements of the epilation head if they protrude as perpendicularly as possible from the skin. Hair lying on the skin can be pinched only with great difficulty, so that in these cases there can also be plucking, after which the hair remains in the skin. This then triggers a plucking pain without the desired cosmetic effect.
- the erection elements thus serve to increase the efficiency and reduce the plucking pain.
- Such an epilation device is known from EP 0 596 283 A1, hair straightening elements also being arranged on the rotating driven epilation cylinder in addition to the clamping elements. These hair straightening elements are designed as rollers or round brushes and are driven in the opposite direction to the rotation of the epilation cylinder. With such a device, the straightening of the hair to be plucked can be reliably ensured before the actual clamping process, but an arrangement according to the previously known device is associated with a high level of manufacturing complexity.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing an epilation device of the type mentioned at the outset, which enables efficient and thorough epilation of the human skin with minimal pain sensation, the hair to be plucked, in particular also the hair close to the skin, being optimally fed to the clamping elements can be.
- the manufacture of the epilation device should be as simple as possible and with as little effort as possible.
- the erecting elements are designed as pins which have an undercut in the region of their free end pointing towards the skin.
- the epilation device ensures that the hairs to be plucked are comb-treated by the erection elements before they reach the working area of the epilation head, whereby - caused by the undercut of the end of the respective erection elements pointing towards the skin - a straightening by positive locking Experience movement, which is directed away from the skin.
- the undercut surface acts, so to speak, as a driver for the hair displaced or displaced or deflected from the free end.
- a strengthening of the erection effect can be achieved if the erection elements are arranged on the epilation head itself, because due to the movement component of the driven epilation head, the hair is subjected to repeated repetition in a direction pointing away from the skin. It is particularly advantageous if the erecting elements extend radially outward with their free ends.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the erecting elements are arranged radially within the lateral surface of a virtual rotating body, which the epilation head defines when rotating about its axis of rotation.
- the hair is almost exclusively acted upon by a force component which causes it to lift off the Skin causes, since in this case there is no quasi-whip-like impact on the skin, as is the case with the pain masking or massage elements according to US Pat. No. 6,176,862, which counteract the erection effect.
- the undercuts on the erection elements are advantageously provided all the way round, so that the erection effect is ensured by the undercut even when the movement of the epilation head is superimposed on the advancing movement of the epilation device relative to the skin.
- the undercut also preferably runs perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the erecting elements, so that there is no preferred direction for straightening the hair and all hair is evenly positioned regardless of the orientation of the epilation device with respect to the skin and regardless of the advancing movement of the epilation device.
- the free end of the erecting elements is rounded, since the deflected hair can be fed particularly easily to the undercut due to this shape.
- the erection elements are advantageously located directly in front of the clamping elements, and it increases the efficiency of the erection if a clamping element is assigned a group of erection elements which have a lateral offset along the axis of rotation of the epilation head and / or an offset along the circumferential direction of the epilation head ,
- Another embodiment of the invention provides that the erection elements on the housing of the epilation device are arranged in the immediate area of the epilation head, i.e. in the area of the actual working plane, it being particularly advantageous if the undercut on the erection elements is approximately parallel to the surface of the epilation Skin runs.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the epilation head of an epilation device according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a plan view of such an epilation head
- Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of the side view of a disc element from which the epilation head is constructed.
- the epilation head shown in Fig. 1 has a central axis of rotation 2, by means of which it is rotatably mounted in a known manner in a housing, not shown in the drawing.
- a drive motor provided in this housing and also not shown is coupled to the gearwheels 3a and 3b via suitable gear means in order to drive the epilation head 1 in the direction of the arrow 4 rotating about the axis of rotation 2.
- the epilation head 1 is cylindrical. However, it is also possible to connect disks of different diameters to one another, so that, for example, a convex and / or concave rotating body is produced.
- Strip-shaped clamping elements 6a and 6b lie between two disc elements 5, the clamping elements 6a being fixed in the epilation head 1, while the clamping elements 6b can tilt about their central transverse axis, so that their outer ends alternate with one or the other outer end of the clamping element 6a to come into contact and thus to form alternately closing and opening tweezers.
- the pivotably mounted clamping elements 6b are actuated by means of individual push rods which extend parallel to the axis of rotation 2 and which are actuated in a manner known per se by a cam control.
- the clamping elements 6a, 6b are each edged laterally by edges 7 and 8, which each taper in the circumferential direction towards their end facing away from the clamping elements 6a, b.
- the clamping elements 6a, b which are made of steel, are partially surrounded by a protective collar.
- This collar like the complete disk elements 5, is made of plastic.
- the edges 7 and 8, which extend in the circumferential direction beyond the width of the clamping elements, therefore protect the skin to be epilated from abrupt contact by the clamping elements and, because of the tapering in the axial and / or radial direction, also serve as a threading aid for the optimal supply of hair the clamping elements.
- Fig. 3 it can be clearly seen that the outer radius 9 of the edges 7 and 8 extends beyond the base radius 10 of the disc element 5 to a certain extent.
- the outer radius 9 corresponds almost exactly to half the length of a clamping element 6a or 6b.
- a plurality of, in this case five, erecting elements 11 are arranged distributed around the circumference at the same distance from one another.
- the erecting elements 11 also have an offset in the axial direction along the pane thickness of the corresponding pane element 5 relative to one another.
- the erecting elements 11 have a mushroom shape with a cylindrical base part 12 with radial extension and a free end 13, which has the shape of a spherical cap with a radially outwardly pointing convex spherical surface and with a flat section connected to the base part.
- the base part 12 and the free end in the form of the spherical cap are arranged coaxially to one another. Because the diameter of the cylindrical base part 12 is smaller than the diameter of the flat end face of the spherical cap of the free end 13, the convex contour of the free end 13 ends in an undercut 14. The annular surface of this undercut 14 runs perpendicular to the extension of the base part 12. The length of the erecting elements 11 is chosen so that it does not protrude beyond the outer radius 9. The length therefore corresponds at most to the difference between the base radius 10 of the disk 5 and the outer radius 9.
- the hair on the affected skin area is first swept by the straightening elements 11 similar to a combing movement, but not only aligned but also also deflected by the free rounded end 13, gripped by the undercut 14 and taken along and raised as if by a hook. Because the erection elements 11 have both an offset along the circumference and an offset in the axial direction of the epilation head 1, all the hairs which are located in the region of the respective disc element 5 can be straightened very effectively.
- a cylindrical pin with a rounded end is provided in the narrower area between the edges 7 and 8.
- Each disc element 5 therefore carries two such pins 15 which, since they have no undercut, do not serve to straighten the hair in relation to the skin surface but primarily cause lateral deflection.
- An embodiment of the invention provides that, in order to further increase the erecting effect, additional erecting elements 11 are also arranged on the housing in the area near the epilation roller 1, which, however, only has their erecting effect then achieve when there is also a feed movement of the epilation device relative to the skin surface.
- the disc elements 5 are usually produced in an injection molding process.
- the erecting elements 11 are initially designed as purely cylindrical elements that project beyond the outer radius 9, which are then melted from the outside in a subsequent work step until they have the shape of a spherical cap and that No longer protrude outside radius 9. It is also possible to spray the mushroom-shaped erection elements directly with the associated disc elements, the undercut 14 being produced by corresponding slides in the injection mold.
- the pane elements 5 and the erecting elements 11 can differ in terms of strength and color.
- the disk body 5 is then first molded from a first material, to which the erecting elements 11 are then subsequently molded from a second material.
- the erection elements can also be attached analogously to the bristle-brushing methods known per se.
