Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of hand-held mechanical hair removal apparatus.
  • Such body care appliances generally comprise a hollow body equipped with an epilation head.
  • the apparatus also comprises mechanical depilatory means which are arranged in the epilating head so as to be located at a working window arranged in the head.
  • These mechanical depilatory means are most often formed by a drum carrying a plurality of epilation forceps opening and closing as the rotation of the drum being actuated by cam systems.
  • the drum is itself rotated by an electric motor most often associated with a gear train.
  • Such a mechanical epilation device gives full satisfaction with regard to its primary function hair removal but has the disadvantage of being relatively noisy due in particular to the number of moving mechanical parts and, more particularly, the electric motor and of the associated gear train.
  • W002076260 discloses a care apparatus which may be an epilation apparatus, comprising a body, a skin treatment head and skin treatment means.
  • the treatment head of this apparatus comprises a skin covering the head only and may extend to the skin of the patient during use of the treatment apparatus, in particular by collisions between hair removal discs.
  • This skin is mainly transparent rigid material to leave visible and limit the noise generated by the disks of the hair removal head.
  • the hollow body is at least partially covered with at least one attenuating skin of polymer material.
  • the hollow body may have a one-piece character or on the contrary be formed by the assembly of at least two half-bodies which are each partially covered at least with an attenuating skin.
  • the formation of the hollow body from half-body makes it easier to assemble the hair removal apparatus.
  • each attenuating skin may be disposed inside the hollow body or, on the contrary, outside the latter.
  • thermoplastic material may be preferred to provide a recyclable material as it may repeatedly soften.
  • An elastomer is defined as a reversibly deformable material.
  • each attenuating skin has, at a distance greater than 15mm from the edges of the body, a thickness greater than or equal to 3mm.
  • the thickness of the skin can be constant or vary.
  • Thickness values on the whole body are considered between 0.5 and 3.2 mm, for example more limited between 1.5 and 2 mm.
  • the depilation means use an electric motor that can be powered by means of an electrical cord connected either directly to the electrical network or via a transformer.
  • the electric drive motor can also be powered by one or more batteries located inside the body.
  • the control of the operation of the drive means can be carried out in any appropriate manner and, for example, implement a control switch carried by the body.
  • the control switch is located inside the body which comprises a maneuvering window providing access to the switch.
  • This maneuvering window is then closed by a flexible web that allows the actuation of the control switch while making obstacle to the spread of noise and therefore to acoustic leakage.
  • this flexible web can be made of any suitable polymeric material such as for example elastomer.
  • the flexible web may be an integral part of an attenuating skin covering the hollow body and form with the latter a one-piece assembly. The flexible web may, on the contrary, be reported on the hollow body.
  • the flexible web is formed by a central portion of a plug adapted to the body at the maneuvering window while according to another characteristic of the invention, the flexible web is part of integral of an attenuating skin.
  • each attenuating skin can be put in place in different ways.
  • each attenuating skin can be reported inside or outside the hollow body after manufacture of the latter.
  • each attenuating skin is overmolded on a portion of the hollow body. Such an embodiment, which involves a bi-injection, allows to obtain a perfect cohesion or adhesion of each attenuating skin on the body or the hollow body part with which it is associated.
  • the hand-held hair removal device may comprise a cradle which is arranged at the interior of the hollow body, which carries the drive means of the mechanical epilation means and which is connected to the hollow body by means of elastomer damping blocks.
  • a cradle and damping blocks of elastomer or silent block allows a mechanical decoupling between the hollow body and the engine thus reducing the propagation of engine noise outside the device.
  • the cradle comprises an insulating wall which defines with the depilatory head and the hollow body a receiving box means mechanical depilation and the apparatus then comprises a peripheral sound insulation seal interposed between the insulation wall and the hollow body.
  • the figure 1 is a schematic longitudinal section of a hand-held hair removal device.
  • the figure 2 is a cross-section along the line II.II of the figure 1 .
  • the mechanical hair removal device as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 and designated as a whole by the reference 1, comprises a body 2 consisting of two half-bodies 3, 4.
  • the hollow body 2 is equipped with an epilation head 5 which, according to the example shown, is removably adapted on the body 2, it being understood that the depilating head 5 could also be permanently and releasably adapted to said body 2.
  • the epilation head 5 comprises depilation means intended to come into contact with the skin, not shown by a working window 7 arranged in the epilation head 5 opposite the body 2.
  • the depilating means 6 are formed by a roller comprising a series of tweezers distributed at the periphery and over the length of the roll.
  • the tweezers rotate with the roller and are operated in opening and closing as the rotation of the roller by a cam system as for example described by the application FR 2 804 844 incorporated herein by reference.
  • Hair removal means could also implement a hair removal mechanism as described by the application FR 2 810 215 incorporated herein by reference. Hair removal means are not an essential feature of the invention and could implement any other device known to those skilled in the art.
  • the depilatory means are attached to the epilation head 5 and protrude out of the epilation head when they come to depilate the skin not shown.
  • the apparatus 1 comprises drive means 10 which comprise an electric motor driving a gear train 12 engraining a drive wheel 13
  • the apparatus according to the invention comprises a cradle 15 which carries the electric motor 11 and the gear train 12.
  • the cradle 15 is then connected to the hollow body by several and, according to the illustrated example, three damping blocks 16 which provide a mechanical decoupling of the cradle 15 relative to the hollow body.
  • the damping blocks 16, also called silent block can be made in any appropriate manner such as for example elastomeric material.
  • damping blocks 16 are made so as to have a stiffness of less than 1 / 19th and preferably 1 / 20th of the stiffness of the material constituting the hollow body.
  • the cradle 15 comprises, at its end located towards the epilation head 5, an insulation wall 17 which defines with the hollow body 2 and the epilating head 5 a box 18 for receiving the epilation means 6.
  • the apparatus 1 then comprises a peripheral seal 19 sound insulation interposed between the wall 17 and the hollow body 2.
  • the Peripheral seal 19 is, in order to facilitate assembly, secured to the cradle 15 being for example made by overmolding on said cradle 15.
  • the damping blocks 16 may also be overmolded on the cradle 15.
  • the latter comprises at least one and, according to the illustrated example, two attenuator skins 23 and 24 which each cover the outside of the half -body 3, 4 corresponding.
  • This embodiment in two parts of the attenuating skin is intended to facilitate the mounting of the mechanical hair removal device according to the invention.
  • it could be envisaged to implement a single attenuating skin that would be reported on the body 2 after assembly of the latter.
  • the attenuating skin could then be in one part or in two parts depending on the assembly mode of the apparatus 1.
  • the attenuating skins 23 and 24 are overmolded on the half-bodies 3 and 4 and consist of a suitable polymer material.
  • the constituent material of the attenuating skins may for example be a thermoplastic polyurethane or a suitable thermoplastic or thermoset elastomer.
  • thermoplastic polyurethane skin has the following advantages: the skin is self-adhering on the shell (for example in ABS) of the epilator when it is overmolded which gives an advantage to the manufacture; the skin is transparent, it has a non-messy touch (it does not absorb dirt), it has a soft touch which notably improves the comfort of the maintenance of the epilator), a moisturizing type of body fat is not absorbed by such a material (the absorption of fatty substances that can lead to a softening of the skin).
  • each attenuating skin 23, 24 may for example be chosen to have a stiffness of less than 1/19 e and preferably 1/20 e of the stiffness of the material constituting the hollow body and n having no damping or attenuating function.
  • the power supply of the motor 11 is provided by means of a not shown electrical cord. However, this power supply could also be provided by batteries arranged inside the hollow body 2.
  • the apparatus 1 comprises a switch 30 adapted to the cradle 15, the body 2 and according to the example the half-body 4 then comprises a window 31 for the operation of the switch 30.
  • the latter is closed by a flexible double veil 32 made of polymeric material.
  • the web 32 forms the central part of a plug 33 fitted on the half-body 4 at the level of the window 31.
  • the web 32 is carried by the plug 33.
  • the web 32 could be an integral part of the attenuating skin 24.
  • each attenuating skin 23, 24 is located outside the corresponding half-body 3, 4.
  • each attenuating skin could be located inside the 2.
