Definitions

  • the invention relates to a depilatory device.
  • the device is characterized by simplicity of construction, it is inexpensive and most important - its action is practically without pain or discomfort.
  • the invention is based on means for contacting the hairy area with a rotating surface provided with an abrasive layer.
  • the rotation is advantageously an excentric one.
  • the distance of the abrasive layer from the skin during operation is adjustable.
  • the present invention surprisingly overcomes this drawback and results in an effective depilation with substantially no dis­comfort or pain.
  • the abrasive disk can be provided with an abrasive surface on the entire surface.
  • the abrasive disk can be provided with only a part of the area being provided with abrasive material, such as an annular ring of abrasive material which extends for about one fourth to about half the diameter of the disk.
  • the disk may be provided with abrasive segments, and any other configuration may be resorted to.
  • the rotating member with the abrasive surface is advantageously provided with a circular housing which surrounds the abrasive disk.
  • the abrasive disk is arranged in such a manner that the level of the disk respective the surrounding rim can be ad­justed.
  • the abrasive surface will generally be a disk-shaped one. There may be provided two or more adjacent abrasive surfaces, which enhances the depilatory effect. Effective radii are in the range of 15 to 25 mm diameter of the disk, but these are not limitative sizes.
  • the abrasive disks are rotated at a rate of rotation of about 200 to 600 RPM, the preferred range being about 250 to 350 RPM.
  • a variety of abrasives may be used. There may be used disks of iron polishing cloth of the P-600 or P-800 grade which is com­mercially available, and which is used generally in a wet state. This is not so according to the present invention.
  • a disk of such abrasive cloth may be attached to a suitable rotating support member, which can be flat, but which may also be slightly convex or even concave. It is preferred to provide an integral abrasive layer of suitable thickness, firmly bonded to a suitable support. It is advantageous to prepare discardable heads with such an ab­rasive surface, which are used for a certain period of time, and which are subsequently discarded and replaced by a new one.
  • the device of the invention can be powered by a DC power source, such as a battery or battery arrangement; rechargeable batteries can be used.
  • a DC power source such as a battery or battery arrangement; rechargeable batteries can be used.
  • the outer rim may be made of metal, it can also be made of a resilient softer material, and also from silicon rubber.
  • the outer rim can be provided with a teflon coating. This applies also to parts of the area of the abrasive disk which is not coated with abrasive.
  • Figures 10 to 13 are perspective views of various embodiments of rotating heads with abrasive surfaces for use in the device of the invention.
  • Figs. 10 and 11 being elevational sections.
  • the upper surface 100 is provided with a layer of abrasive substances of fine grain size.
  • Figures 10, 11 and 13 illustrate heads with an excentric drive shaft 101, whereas Figure 12 illustrates such a head with an excentric drive shaft 102.
  • the overall size of the heads will be in the range of 15-20 mm diameter. In Fig. 12 this defines the larger diameter of the head.
  • the device may comprise more than one abrasive head, and such heads will be in the same plane and close to one another.
  • Figs. 10 and 11 illustrate in an exaggerated manner that the upper surface is not necessarily a plane one.
  • Fig. 10 illustrates a curved upper surface
  • Fig. 11 a concave one. In actual practice the curvature will generally be a less pronounced one.
  • Fig. 102 illustrates a head with an annular abrasive surface; it ought to be understood that the abrasive surface can also extend over the entire upper surface of the head.
  • Various other and different configurations of the shape and surface of the rotating head can be resorted to.
  • a device comprises a housing 11, inside which there is located a small electro-motor 12 powered by a power source like one or more batteries 13, which motor actuates and rotates via shaft 14 the rotating head 15.
  • the shaft 14 is arranged in an excentric manner respective the center of 15, which is provided at its surface 16 with a layer of abrasive substance 17.
  • the housing is provided with a cup-­shaped member 18 which extends at its upper part to the form of an annular flat member which has its upper surface a small distance above the surface of the rotating head 15.
  • Fig.2 there is in­dicated the surface of the skin 19 from which there extend hairs 20.
  • FIGS 4, 5 and 6 illustrate the excentric movement of the rotating head 15 in an excentric manner.
  • the surface of the rotating head can be a continuous plane one; it can also be one with an annular configuration, as shown in Fig. 7, where 71 is the abrasive upper surface. It is again stressed that the upper surface of the rotating head can have any desired shape, with all or part of it being provided with a surface of an abrasive material.
  • the rotating head is generally provided with a fine mesh abrasive so as not to cause any injury or irritation to sensitive human skin.
  • the invention also relates to a method of depilating hair from the human body, especially arms and legs, which method comprises con­tacting the area from which skin is to be removed with a rotating head provided with an abrasive surface.
  • abrasive head is advantageously a head of a device as set out in the foregoing description and as illustrated by way of example in the Figures.
