Definitions
- the present invention relates to an epilator, and more particularly to a monolithic epilator, that is to say an epilator whose epilation element is made of a single block.
- the first category is represented by spring epilators where a generally curved coil spring grasps the hairs in the intervals between the turns and removes the hairs of the skin when the intervals between these turns close and compress- This effect is obtained by bending the spring in different ways, and it thus has a closed side (convergent side) and a. open side (diverging side).
- Depilatory devices based on this principle are for example disclosed in FR-A-2627362, showing different ways of bending a spring to obtain a compression effect and thus removal of hair on the skin.
- the second category of depilatory apparatus consists of epilators based on a plurality of adjacent disks as in EP-A-0 383 719, which shows an epilatio ⁇ device comprising an epilator element consisting of separate adjacent disks. by elements causing the tilting of these disks to turn them into hair removal tweezers.
- Such epilator element is constituted by a large number of parts which makes it difficult to dismantle for a complete cleaning. See in particular in Figures 3, 4 and 5 of EP-A-0 383 719.
- the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the tedmic, and in particular to provide an epilator device comprising a monolithic epilator element where the plurality of adjacent disks and their interconnections or joints are made in one. single piece.
- This configuration makes it possible to make a disposable epilation element when it becomes difficult to clean. The element can then be replaced several times a year to avoid laborious cleaning from a certain level of fouling.
- a second objective pursued by the invention is to provide a simple depilation device for manufacturing at a relatively low cost.
- FIG. 1a and 1b represent various views of the monolithic epilation element with, in particular, a magnifying lens on the bevel 7 in FIG. 1a
- FIG. 1C represents the epilator according to the invention with the monolithic element pre-stressed on its support and the possibility of a motor present inside.
- FIG. 2 represents the monolithic epilation element according to the invention in which the spacing and articulation elements on the disks are represented by two protuberances substantially perpendicular to the disks, the protuberances being offset by 90 "each time. relative to the adjacent discs For better visibility we have cut the monolithic element into different sections The tilting lines are represented by arrows (ref.8), on section A and section B.
- FIG. 3 shows the monolithic hair removal element according to the invention wherein the spacing and articulation elements on the disks are represented by a protuberance over the entire diameter of the disk and passing through its center. The protuberance also forms the tilting line and the position thereof is shown in sections A to F.
- FIG. 4 shows the monolithic epilation element according to the invention where the spacing elements and articulation on the disks are represented by a protrusion off-center with respect to the disks and where the offset is also 90 ° relative to the adjacent disks.
- Figure 5 shows the different possibilities of contact angles between the monolithic hair removal element and the skin depending on the shape of said element at the start (concave, convex - more or less curved, cylindrical).
- the present invention discloses an epilator comprising a prestressed, deformable, monolithic depilatory epilator and deformable member rotatably mounted on said support, said monolithic member being formed of a plurality of adjacent disks. interconnected by spacers and hinge members arranged in such a manner that they form a tilting line for two adjacent disks which, when using said monolithic element by rotation, tilt in pairs and form a divergent zone where some discs are spaced from each other leaving open spaces, and a convergent compression zone where some discs are pressed against each other, forming tongs for taking and removing hair from the skin .
- the invention comprises one or more of the following features:
- the support further comprises a motor coupled to said monolithic element intended to drive the latter in a rotational movement during use, said rotational movement giving it a sliding on the skin to be epilated, said rotational movement of said monolithic element generating continuous movement of the discs, from a diverging orientation on the diverging side to a compressive orientation on the converging side for grasping and removing hair from the skin; the adjustment of the speed of rotation is then carried out by the user according to comfort criteria, the discs comprise, at the periphery, segments with specific geometrical excrescences substantially parallel to said tilting line;
- the specific geometrical excrescences are adapted according to a combing and pi ⁇ çage sequence in the direction of rotation of the disc;
- Said growths comprise on their periphery a bevel on each side to create a clamping surface; said spacing and articulation elements extend over the entire diameter of the discs;
- said spacing and articulation elements are off-center with respect to the center of the disc
- said spacing and articulation elements have an offset angle on two successive disks
- the offset angle is between 45 and 120 °
- the offset angle is preferably 90 °; the spacing and articulation elements comprising at least one protuberance substantially perpendicular to said disks;
- said monolithic element is made of synthetic material, preferably by a thermoplastic injection technique
- said monolithic element before prestressing, has a concave, convex or cylindrical revolution geometry as a function of the angle of contact that it is desired to give it with the skin;
- - Said discs have on their periphery a bevel on each side to create a clamping surface in the case where the discs do not include growths; - said compression part in contact with the skin is concave, convex or rectilinear.
- the present invention discloses an epilator comprising a support for example in the form of a housing and a deformable monolithic epilation element 1.
- This epilator operates as those of the state of the art, namely that it is compressed on one side in order to bend it so as to create on the one hand, a compression part 10 where the discs 2 are pressed against each other forming pliers to remove the hairs from the skin and secondly, on the opposite side, a series of adjacent discs 2 separated by gaps in the diverging portion 9.
- the disks 2 are connected to one another within this monolithic element 1 by hinge elements 3 which can take different forms and being intended to tilt a pair of disks 2 beyond a tilting line 8 during the rotation said element to move them from the divergent position to the convergent position, that is to say to the compression state where the discs form tongs to remove the bristles.
- the monolithic hair removal element 1 is preferably made of synthetic material and more particularly by injection of thermoplastic material. Said element therefore has a certain flexibility allowing it to be compressed and to follow the curvature which has been given to it during the prestressing and during the rotation.
- this monolithic element 1 lies in the fact that it may consist of a relatively inexpensive and therefore disposable plastic injected part.
- the basic structure for said epilator element consists of discs 2 but these discs can be surmounted by protuberances 11 with adequate geometric shapes (repeated presence of notches at regular intervals on the protuberances) incidentally allowing to hang the hair or combing it before removal.
- a bevel 7 may also be made on some protrusions 11 on the discs 2 in question so as not to constitute a pinch point of the hair but rather a surface, which improves the efficiency of the device. (Fig. Magnifying Glass) These bevels 7 can also be made on the disks themselves. Adjacent disks of the monolithic element 1 generally tilt in pairs by means of the joints 3 connecting said disks 2 between them. These joints 3 can take a variety of different shapes to achieve this effect, a preferred form being a protuberance substantially perpendicular to the disc. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the hinge elements 3 are shifted by 90 ° relative to one another, which makes it possible to obtain an optimal number of clamps on the depilatory element. monolithic 1.
- the offset angles between the joints 3 of the successive discs 2 are preferably 90 e but may be generally between 45 and 120 °; this offset angle will determine the number of discs 2 and thus clamps capable of pinching the bristles in a specific position on the monolithic element 2 of the invention.
