Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clamping device for a motor-driven epilation device, in particular for plucking hair of the human skin. Furthermore, the invention relates to an epilation head for an epilation device and to an epilation device.
  • Epilators are used to remove hair as possible including its roots.
  • Known epilating devices are for example designed so that the hair is clamped between adjacent clamping elements and plucked out by a movement of the clamping elements relative to the skin.
  • the producible with a reasonable effort contact pressure is limited.
  • the noise of the epilator increases with increasing contact pressure and it increases the risk of damage to the hair by pressing the clamping elements so strong that they tear during the picking process and thus not or not completely plucked.
  • the US Pat. No. 5,041,123 discloses an epilation apparatus having a series of discs fixed in parallel on a hub. Between the discs thin plates are arranged, which can each be pressed against the edge region of the adjacent disc. In order to reliably clamp the hair, the contact surface between the discs and the platelets can be provided with a roughness.
  • an epilation apparatus having a series of closely spaced discs that together form a rotatable roller. During their rotation, the discs are each deformed so that adjacent discs are pressed against each other while hair is clamped between the discs and plucked by the rotational movement. In order to prevent the pinched hair from slipping out again, the discs may be subjected to a surface roughness treatment. It is the same also possible to form grooves or other depressions or elevations on the surfaces of the discs.
  • the invention has for its object to ensure a reliable clamping of the hair at a reasonable cost with a motor-driven epilator and thereby to minimize the damage caused by the terminals damage.
  • the clamping device according to the invention for a motor-driven epilating device in particular for plucking hair of the human skin, has a first clamping element with a first contact surface, in the region of which a three-dimensional clamping structure is formed. Furthermore, the clamping device according to the invention has a second clamping element with a second contact surface. The contact surfaces of the clamping elements are temporarily in a clamping contact with each other during operation of the epilation device.
  • the peculiarity of the clamping device according to the invention is that the second clamping element in the region of the second contact surface has a lower hardness than the first clamping element in the region of the first contact surface.
  • the invention has the advantage that it allows a gentle way a reliable clamping of the hair.
  • the risk of slipping of the hair from the closed clamping device is comparatively low.
  • the risk that the clamped hair are so badly damaged that they tear off is very low. This means that unnecessary pain events in the application of the epilator, which do not lead to a plucking of hair, can be largely avoided.
  • Another advantage is that a reliable clamping of the hair with a reduced contact pressure of the contact surfaces against each other is possible. This leads to a reduced noise in the formation of the terminal contact and the other to a lower Stress on the individual components and thus less material wear.
  • the soft second contact surface also has a noise-absorbing and vibration-reducing effect.
  • the hardness difference between the contact surfaces of the clamping elements is so great that the clamping structure is formed at least temporarily and / or partially in the formation of the terminal contact in the second contact surface of the second clamping member. As a result, the clamping action is supported and also prevents the, clamping structure hinders the closing of the clamping device.
  • the second clamping element preferably has a smaller average roughness Ra than the first clamping element in the region of the first contact surface.
  • the first clamping element is preferably arranged such that the distance between the contact surfaces of the clamping elements can be varied. This means that the opening and closing of the clamping device preferably takes place with the aid of the first clamping element, which also has the clamping structure.
  • the clamping structure may be formed, for example, as a stochastic roughness structure. Such a structure can be produced inexpensively. Alternatively, it is also possible, the clamping structure as an ordered geometric structure, in particular in the form of mutually parallel elevations or depressions, is formed. This has the advantage that the clamping behavior of the clamping device can be influenced very targeted.
  • the clamping device is preferably formed so that the clamping structure has a center roughness Ra, which is smaller than 2 .mu.m, in particular smaller than 1 .mu.m. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the clamping structure has an average roughness depth Rz which is less than 10 ⁇ m, in particular less than 6 ⁇ m.
  • the maximum roughness depth Rmax of the clamping structure can be between 2 ⁇ m and 10 ⁇ m.
  • the mean distance RSM between adjacent elevations or depressions values which are smaller than 100 ⁇ m, in particular smaller than 45 ⁇ m, are preferred in the clamping structure.
  • the first clamping element may be made of metal in the region of the first contact surface.
  • the second clamping element is preferably made of plastic in the region of the second contact surface.
  • the invention further relates to an epilation head having at least one clamping device according to the invention.
  • the invention still relates to an epilation device, with a hand-durable housing and such Epilationskopf.
  • Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an epilating device 1 according to the invention in side view.
  • the epilating device 1 has a housing 2 and an epilation head 3 removably attached to the housing 2.
  • the housing 2 is shaped so that it can be comfortably held in the hand.
  • a switch 4 for switching on and off of the epilation device 1 is arranged on the housing 2.
  • a rotary cylinder 5 is rotatably suspended in the epilation head 3.
  • Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the rotary cylinder 5 in a perspective view.
  • the section marked with a circle is in Fig. 3 shown in enlarged form.
  • the rotary cylinder 5 is rotatably supported in the epilation head 3 by means of a shaft 6.
  • a gear 7 In the region of the axial ends of the rotary cylinder 5 is ever a gear 7 rotatably connected to the rotary cylinder 5.
  • the rotary cylinder 5 of a non-figuratively illustrated electric motor inside the in Fig. 1 imaged housing 2 are driven.
  • the rotary cylinder 5 is stacked in the axial direction of a plurality of components.
  • clamping devices 8 which are embedded in support disks 9 and each have a first clamping element 10 and a second clamping element 11 will be discussed in more detail.
  • Fig. 3 shows an enlarged section Fig. 2 in the region of one of the clamping devices 8.
  • the first clamping elements 10 are suspended in the rotary cylinder 5 so that they each tilted relative to the shaft 6 and thereby the associated second clamping elements 11 can be axially approximated or removed from them.
  • the second clamping elements 11 are arranged stationarily within the rotary cylinder 5 and perform relative to the rotary cylinder 5 no movement.
  • the second clamping elements 11 can be formed integrally with the carrier disks 9
  • the clamping devices 8 can thus be closed and opened by the movement of the first clamping elements 10.
  • the first clamping elements 10 each have a first contact surface 12 and the second clamping elements 11 each have a second contact surface 13.
  • a closed clamping device 8 In a closed clamping device 8, the first contact surface 12 of the first clamping member 10 and the second contact surface 13 of the second clamping member 11 are pressed against each other.
  • the first clamping element 10 In the presentation of the Fig. 3 is the first clamping element 10 at a maximum distance from the associated second clamping element 11, so that the clamping device 8 is fully open.
  • each clamping device 8 is correlated to the rotational movement of the rotary cylinder 5 periodically closed and opened by a tilting movement of the respective first clamping element 10.
  • the clamping means 8 are moved along with the clamped hairs and plucked the hair out of the skin. Subsequently, the clamping devices 8 are opened again, so that the plucked hairs are released. It is also possible to actuate the clamping element 11 against a fixed clamping element 10 or the operation of both clamping elements 10 and 11th
  • a respective clamping structure 14 is formed in the region of the first contact surfaces 12 of the first clamping elements 10, which has a multiplicity of parallel elevations 15.
  • the elevations 15 have a substantially triangular cross section and extend transversely to the radial direction of the rotary cylinder 5 over the entire width of the respective first clamping element 10.
  • the elevations 15 also have a different cross-section.
  • the clamping structure 14 has a different overall topography.
  • stochastic roughness structures are also possible. Regular structures can be generated for example by a stamping process. For the production of stochastic structures, in particular a sandblasting method can be used.
  • the second clamping elements 11 in the region of their second contact surfaces 13 each have a lower hardness than the first clamping elements 10 in the region of their first contact surfaces 12.
  • the action of the clamping structure 14 is partially cushioned on the hair. Due to the hardness of the first clamping elements 10 in the region of their first contact surfaces 12, the raised structural elements of the clamping structure 14 each form with time in the softer second contact surfaces 13 of the second clamping elements 11 a.
  • the first clamping elements 10 may be made of metal, for example, and the second clamping elements 11 made of plastic.
  • the clamping structure 14 is matched to the surface structure of the hair.
  • the clamping structure 14 is formed so that it can engage in the scale-like surface structure of the hair.
  • the clamping structure 14 has a mean roughness Ra of less than 2 ⁇ m, preferably less than 1 ⁇ m.
  • the average roughness Ra is defined as the arithmetic mean of all deviations of the surface structure from a centerline extending transversely through the clamp structure 14.
  • the average roughness depth Rz of the clamping structure 14, which represents the arithmetic mean of five individual roughness depths of five adjacent individual measuring sections, is less than 10 ⁇ m, preferably less than 6 ⁇ m.
  • the maximum roughness depth Rmax of the clamping structure 14 is between 2 ⁇ m and 10 ⁇ m and indicates the largest single roughness depth within the entire measuring path. Values below 100 ⁇ m, in particular below 45 ⁇ m, are used for the mean distance RSM between the raised structural elements of the clamping structure 14. A detailed definition of the mean distance RSM can be found in the standard DIN EN ISO 4287 or ASME B46.1. The roughness values apply regardless of the orientation on the corresponding surface.
  • clamping devices 8 In addition to the illustrated embodiment of the clamping devices 8, a large number of modifications is possible within the scope of the invention. For example, it is possible, instead of the first clamping element 10, to arrange the second clamping element 11 movably in the rotary cylinder 5. Likewise, in each case both clamping elements 10 and 11 are movably arranged in the rotary cylinder 5.
