To advance the stick towards the nozzle, the trigger is pressed. At first, this applies a ratchet against the side wall of the stick and thus causes adhesion between the ring and the stick. The subsequent movement of the trigger moves the ring by pushing the stick into the duct adjacent to the heating means.

Description

La présente invention concerne un appareil pour épiler à la cire, notamment pour le visage, et conforme au préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to an apparatus for waxing, in particular for the face, and in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.

Un tel appareil est connu d'après le FR-A No 1459825. Selon ce document, la cire est placée directement dans le conduit, et elle est poussée vers la buse par un piston chargé par un ressort. On peut ouvrir ou fermer la buse au moyen d'un obturateur. Pour l'utilisation, on ouvre l'appareil, on y place une cartouche de cire, on attend qu'elle fonde entièrement dans le conduit, à la suite de quoi on peut actionner l'obturateur pour permettre à la cire d'être éjectée sous la poussée du piston. Si la capacité de l'appareil est insuffisante pour l'opération en cours, un temps considérable et des manipulations importantes, avec le risque de perdre certaines pièces amovibles de l'appareil, sont nécessaires avant de pouvoir poursuivre l'opération d'épilation.Such an apparatus is known from FR-A No 1459825. According to this document, the wax is placed directly in the duct, and it is pushed towards the nozzle by a piston loaded by a spring. The nozzle can be opened or closed by means of a shutter. For use, the device is opened, a wax cartridge is placed in it, it is waited for it to melt completely in the duct, after which the shutter can be actuated to allow the wax to be ejected under the push of the piston. If the capacity of the device is insufficient for the operation in progress, considerable time and significant handling, with the risk of losing certain removable parts of the device, are necessary before being able to continue the epilation operation.

On connaît par ailleurs, d'après le FR-A No 2155953, un appareil de fusion et de distribution de matière thermoplastique. Il s'agit d'un pistolet dans le canon duquel on fait avancer un bâton de colle thermoplastique entrant par l'arrière. Le bâton traverse des moyens de chauffe qui le font fondre, et il est ensuite extrudé par une buse de sortie. En arrière des moyens de chauffe, le bâton est engagé dans une bague pouvant se déplacer en va-et-vient dans la direction longitudinale du canon en liaison avec une gâchette. Pour faire avancer le bâton vers la buse, on appuie sur la gâchette. Dans un premier temps, cela applique un cliquet contre la paroi latérale du bâton et provoque ainsi l'adhérence entre la bague et le bâton. Le mouvement ultérieur de la gâchette déplace la bague en poussant le bâton dans le conduit adjacent aux moyens de chauffe. Si, en fin de course de la gâchette, on désire éjecter une quantité supplémentaire de colle, on relâche la gâchette, ce qui recule la bague sans entraîner le bâton, le cliquet étant inopérant dans cette direction. Le processus précité peut alors être recommencé.Furthermore, from FR-A No. 2155953, an apparatus for melting and distributing thermoplastic material is known. It is a pistol in the barrel of which one advances a stick of thermoplastic glue entering from the back. The stick passes through heating means which make it melt, and it is then extruded by an outlet nozzle. Behind the heating means, the stick is engaged in a ring which can move back and forth in the longitudinal direction of the barrel in connection with a trigger. To advance the stick towards the nozzle, the trigger is pressed. At first, this applies a ratchet against the side wall of the stick and thus causes adhesion between the ring and the stick. The subsequent movement of the trigger moves the ring by pushing the stick into the duct adjacent to the heating means. If, at the end of the trigger stroke, it is desired to eject an additional quantity of glue, the trigger is released, which moves the ring back without causing the stick, the pawl being ineffective in this direction. The above process can then be restarted.

Le pistolet ainsi constitué permet de répandre une quantité importante de produit fondu sans qu'il soit nécessaire de recharger l'appareil. Il suffit que le bâton utilisé au départ soit suffisamment long. Toutefois, un tel appareil ne peut convenir pour la cire. En effet, pour des raisons de démoulage, il est pratiquement impossible de produire un long bâton de cire. D'autre part, l'utilisation de tels bâtons serait très peu pratique. En effet, à la suite de chaque opération d'épilation, resterait attaché à l'appareil un bâton très encombrant et très fragile, donc particulièrement gênant. D'autre part, la cire a la particularité de se ramollir dès qu'elle atteint une température un peu supérieure aux températures ambiantes habituelles. Ainsi, dans la zone où elle est poussée vers les moyens de chauffe, la cire tend à se ramollir en raison de la proximité des moyens de chauffe. Dès lors, le système proposé dans le FR-A ? 2155953, consistant à prendre appui latéralement sur le bâton, déformerait le bâton de cire et pourrait le rendre inapte à pénétrer dans le conduit adjacent aux moyens de chauffe.The pistol thus formed makes it possible to spread a large quantity of molten product without the need to reload the device. It is enough that the stick used at the start is long enough. However, such a device is not suitable for wax. Indeed, for reasons of demolding, it is practically impossible to produce a long stick of wax. On the other hand, the use of such sticks would be very impractical. Indeed, following each hair removal operation, would remain attached to the device a very bulky and very fragile stick, therefore particularly troublesome. On the other hand, the wax has the particularity of softening as soon as it reaches a temperature slightly higher than the usual ambient temperatures. Thus, in the zone where it is pushed towards the heating means, the wax tends to soften due to the proximity of the heating means. Therefore, the system proposed in the FR-A? 2155953, consisting of pressing laterally on the stick, would deform the wax stick and could make it incapable of entering the duct adjacent to the heating means.

Le but de l'invention est ainsi de proposer un appareil permettant d'effectuer sans discontinuité importante toute opération d'épilation quelle que soit son importance, sans pour autant aboutir aux difficultés auxquelles conduirait l'application pure et simple des enseignements du FR-A No 2155953.The object of the invention is thus to propose an apparatus making it possible to carry out without significant discontinuity any epilation operation whatever its importance, without however leading to the difficulties to which the pure and simple application of the lessons of FR-A would lead. No. 2,155,953.

Ce but est atteint avec les moyens énoncés dans la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1.This object is achieved with the means set out in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Les cartouches peuvent être chargées latéralement dans le magasin au fur et à mesure des besoins. Un tel rechargement est très rapide puisqu'il suffit pour cela de ramener le chariot en arrière avant d'introduire la cartouche, puis de recommencer à manoeuvrer le chariot dans le sens correspondant à l'éjection de la cire fondue. Le talon, prenant appui sur la face arrière des cartouches, tend aussi peu que possible à déformer les cartouches pendant la poussée.The cartridges can be loaded laterally in the magazine as needed. Such reloading is very rapid since it suffices to bring the carriage back before introducing the cartridge, then to start again to maneuver the carriage in the direction corresponding to the ejection of the molten wax. The heel, resting on the rear face of the cartridges, tends as little as possible to deform the cartridges during pushing.

L'invention revient ainsi à combiner avantageusement un fonctionnement quasi continu en ce qui concerne la production de la cire fondue avec un fonctionnement par recharge périodique en ce qui concerne l'alimentation en cire solidifiée.The invention thus amounts to advantageously combining almost continuous operation with regard to the production of molten wax with operation by periodic recharging with regard to the supply of solidified wax.

L'appareil est notamment très pratique pour s'épiler le visage soi-même.The device is particularly practical for removing hair from the face yourself.

Dans la réalisation représentée à titre d'exemple sur les figures annexées, l'appareil pour épiler à la cire, notamment pour le visage, comprend un boîtier extérieur 1 en matière plastique, constitué par deux demi-coquilles assemblées longitudinalement. Ce boîtier 1 renferme un magasin 2 pour recevoir un bloc de cire à épiler, sous forme de cartouche cylindrique 3 (voir fig. 1 et 4), un conduit cylindrique 4 s'étendant entre le magasin 2 et une buse sensiblement tronconique 5 qui débouche à l'extérieur de l'appareil, un chariot 6 pour engager dans le conduit 4 la cartouche cylindrique 3 et pour la pousser vers la buse 5 et une thermistance 7 disposée en contact thermique avec le conduit 4 pour chauffer et porter la cire engagée dans le conduit 4 à une température de l'ordre de 60° C.In the embodiment shown by way of example in the appended figures, the apparatus for depilating with wax, in particular for the face, comprises an outer casing 1 made of plastic, constituted by two half-shells assembled longitudinally. This housing 1 contains a magazine 2 for receiving a block of depilatory wax, in the form of a cylindrical cartridge 3 (see fig. 1 and 4), a cylindrical conduit 4 extending between the magazine 2 and a substantially frustoconical nozzle 5 which opens out. outside the device, a carriage 6 for engaging in the conduit 4 the cylindrical cartridge 3 and for pushing it towards the nozzle 5 and a thermistor 7 arranged in thermal contact with the conduit 4 to heat and carry the wax engaged in the conduit 4 at a temperature of the order of 60 ° C.

Le chariot 6 est déplaçable manuellement par l'utilisateur dans la direction du conduit 4 au moyen d'un bouton de commande 8 faisant saillie à l'extérieur du boîtier 1. Ce chariot 6 comporte sur sa partie arrière 6a un talon 6b constituant une surface d'appui pour la cartouche 3.The carriage 6 can be moved manually by the user in the direction of the conduit 4 by means of a projecting control button 8 outside the housing 1. This carriage 6 has on its rear part 6a a heel 6b constituting a bearing surface for the cartridge 3.

Le boîtier 1 présente une forme générale allongée permettant la préhension manuelle par l'utilisateur, comme indiqué sur la fig. 4.The housing 1 has a generally elongated shape allowing manual gripping by the user, as indicated in FIG. 4.

L'axe de la buse 5 est incliné par rapport à l'axe d'allongement du boîtier 1. L'extrémité 1 du boîtier 1 adjacente à la buse 5 présente une forme adaptée à l'inclinaison de l'axe de la buse 5.The axis of the nozzle 5 is inclined relative to the elongation axis of the housing 1. The end 1 of the housing 1 adjacent to the nozzle 5 has a shape adapted to the inclination of the axis of the nozzle 5 .

Le conduit cylindrique 4 est en un métal bon conducteur de la chaleur tel que l'aluminium pour permettre un excellent échange thermique avec la thermistance 7.The cylindrical duct 4 is made of a metal which is a good conductor of heat such as aluminum to allow excellent heat exchange with the thermistor 7.

La partie 4a du conduit cylindrique 4 qui est adjacente à la thermistance 7 s'étend dans la direction de l'axe d'allongement du boîtier 1. Cette partie 4a du conduit cylindrique 4 est raccordée par un coude à une partie inclinée 4b qui débouche à l'extérieur par la buse 5.The part 4a of the cylindrical conduit 4 which is adjacent to the thermistor 7 extends in the direction of the elongation axis of the housing 1. This part 4a of the cylindrical conduit 4 is connected by an elbow to an inclined part 4b which opens out outside by nozzle 5.

Cette buse 5 est réalisée avantageusement en une matière plastique souple et non adhérente vis-à-vis de la cire, telle que la silicone. Cette buse 5 est montée de façon amovible sur l'extrémité 1 a du boîtier 1. Il est avantageux de pouvoir disposer de plusieurs buses 5 interchangeables, présentant des orifices de sortie 5a de sections différentes. Ainsi, suivant la section de ces buses 5, il est possible d'obtenir à leur sortie une bandelette plus ou moins épaisse ou un boudin de cire pâteuse de diamètre plus ou moins grand.This nozzle 5 is advantageously made of a flexible plastic material which is not adherent to the wax, such as silicone. This nozzle 5 is removably mounted on the end 1a of the housing 1. It is advantageous to be able to have several interchangeable nozzles 5, having outlet orifices 5a of different sections. Thus, depending on the section of these nozzles 5, it is possible to obtain, at their outlet, a more or less thick strip or a strand of pasty wax of more or less large diameter.

La partie 4a du conduit 4 présente un diamètre intérieur qui correspond sensiblement au diamètre de la cartouche de cire 3 qui est placée dans le magasin 2 suivant l'axe de ce conduit 4.The part 4a of the conduit 4 has an internal diameter which corresponds substantially to the diameter of the wax cartridge 3 which is placed in the magazine 2 along the axis of this conduit 4.

Le contact thermique entre la thermistance 7 et la partie 4a du conduit 4 est réalisé au moyen de deux coquilles métalliques 9 qui recouvrent la thermistance 7 et la partie 4a du conduit 4, en épousant le profil de ces dernières (voir notamment la fig. 3).The thermal contact between the thermistor 7 and the part 4a of the conduit 4 is made by means of two metal shells 9 which cover the thermistor 7 and the part 4a of the conduit 4, by matching the profile of the latter (see in particular fig. 3 ).

A l'entrée 4c du conduit cylindrique 4 est disposée une bague 10 en matière plastique souple et non adhérente vis-à-vis de la cire, telle que la silicone. Cette bague 10 comporte sur sa surface interne une lèvre annulaire et flexible 11 définissant une surface interne tronconique, évasée vers l'entrée 12 de cette bague 10. Le plus petit diamètre de cette surface tronconique est légèrement inférieur au diamètre de la cartouche de cire 3.At the inlet 4c of the cylindrical conduit 4 is disposed a ring 10 of flexible plastic material which is not adherent towards the wax, such as silicone. This ring 10 has on its internal surface an annular and flexible lip 11 defining a frustoconical internal surface, flared towards the inlet 12 of this ring 10. The smallest diameter of this frustoconical surface is slightly less than the diameter of the wax cartridge 3 .

Sur la fig. 1, on voit que le magasin 2 est fermé par un couvercle 13 articulé sur un pivot 14, monté à l'extrémité 1 b du boîtier 1 à l'opposé de la buse de sortie 5. Lors de son ouverture, ce couvercle 13 occupe la position en pointillé 13a indiquée sur la fig. 1.In fig. 1, it can be seen that the magazine 2 is closed by a cover 13 hinged on a pivot 14, mounted at the end 1b of the housing 1 opposite the outlet nozzle 5. When it is opened, this cover 13 occupies the dotted position 13a indicated in fig. 1.

En position fermée, comme indiqué sur la fig. 1, le couvercle 13 est verrouillé au boîtier au moyen d'un bec 14a, ménagé sur le bord du couvercle opposé à l'articulation 14, ce bec 14a étant encliqueté sur un bossage 15 ménagé sur le boîtier 1. Ce verrouillage est réalisé contre l'action d'un ressort 16 fixé au couvercle 13 près de l'articulation 14, et prenant appui sur une butée 17 ménagée à l'intérieur du boîtier 1.In the closed position, as shown in fig. 1, the cover 13 is locked to the housing by means of a spout 14a, formed on the edge of the cover opposite the articulation 14, this spout 14a being snapped onto a boss 15 formed on the housing 1. This locking is carried out against the action of a spring 16 fixed to the cover 13 near the articulation 14, and bearing on a stop 17 formed inside the housing 1.

Comme on le voit sur les fig. 1 et 2, en position de fermeture, la surface extérieure du couvercle 13 estsituée sensiblement dans le prolongement de la surface extérieure du boîtier 1.As seen in Figs. 1 and 2, in the closed position, the outer surface of the cover 13 is located substantially in the extension of the outer surface of the housing 1.

Le couvercle 13, de plus, porte, sur sa surface interne 18, le chariot 6 et les organes pour guider son déplacement dans la direction du conduit cylindrique 4.The cover 13, moreover, carries, on its internal surface 18, the carriage 6 and the members for guiding its movement in the direction of the cylindrical conduit 4.

Dans l'exemple représenté (voir fig. 1 et 4), le guidage du déplacement du chariot 6 est assuré au moyen d'un doigt 19, engagé dans une fente 20 (voir également fig. 2) ménagée dans le couvercle 13, suivant l'axe d'allongement du boîtier 1. Ce doigt 19 est relié, d'une part, au chariot 6 et, d'autre part, au bouton de commande 8 qui fait saillie du couvercle 13.In the example shown (see fig. 1 and 4), the movement of the carriage 6 is guided by means of a finger 19, engaged in a slot 20 (see also fig. 2) formed in the cover 13, according to the elongation axis of the housing 1. This finger 19 is connected, on the one hand, to the carriage 6 and, on the other hand, to the control button 8 which projects from the cover 13.

Entre le chariot 6 et le couvercle 13, et en arrière du bouton de commande 8, est disposé un ressort à lame 21 qui tend à écarter la partie arrière 6a de ce chariot 6 du couvercle 13 (voir fig. 1 et 4).Between the carriage 6 and the cover 13, and behind the control button 8, is disposed a leaf spring 21 which tends to separate the rear part 6a of this carriage 6 from the cover 13 (see fig. 1 and 4).

Par ailleurs, dans l'exemple représenté, le couvercle 13 présente sur sa face interne 18 une crémaillère 22 qui coopère avec un cliquet de retenue 23 fixé sur la partie arrière 6a du chariot 6 pour empêcher l'avance de ce dernier lorsqu'on exerce une poussée anormale sur le bouton de commande 8.Furthermore, in the example shown, the cover 13 has on its internal face 18 a rack 22 which cooperates with a retaining pawl 23 fixed on the rear part 6a of the carriage 6 to prevent the advancement of the latter when exercising an abnormal push on the control button 8.

On va maintenant exposer le fonctionnement de l'appareil à épiler que l'on vient de décrire.We will now describe the operation of the hair removal device that we have just described.

Avant utilisation de l'appareil, on place une cartouche de cire 3 dans le magasin 2. A cet effet, on déverrouille le couvercle 13 en le poussant légèrement vers le bas pour dégager le bec 14a du bossage 15, puis on l'ouvre pour l'amener dans la position 13a représentée sur la fig. 1.Before using the appliance, a wax cartridge 3 is placed in the magazine 2. For this purpose, the cover 13 is unlocked by pushing it slightly downwards to release the spout 14a from the boss 15, then it is opened to bring it into position 13a shown in FIG. 1.

On met-le chariot 6 en position basse, c'est-à-dire écarté au maximum de l'entrée du conduit 4, en poussant le bouton de commande 8 vers le bas, comme indiqué sur la fig. 1. On place ensuite une cartouche 3 sur ce chariot et on ferme le couvercle 13.The carriage 6 is put in the low position, that is to say moved as far as possible from the inlet of the conduit 4, by pushing the control button 8 downwards, as indicated in FIG. 1. A cartridge 3 is then placed on this carriage and the cover 13 is closed.

On met en route l'alimentation électrique de la thermistance 7. On engage la cartouche ,3 dans le conduit cylindrique 4 en poussant le chariot 6 suivant la flèche F de la fig. 4. En s'engageant dans la bague 10, la cartouche 3 rétracte la lèvre souple 11 vers l'extérieur.The electrical supply to the thermistor 7 is started. The cartridge 3 is engaged in the cylindrical conduit 4 by pushing the carriage 6 along the arrow F in FIG. 4. By engaging in the ring 10, the cartridge 3 retracts the flexible lip 11 outwards.

La cire 3a contenue dans le conduit 4 est portée à une température de l'ordre de 60° C. A cette température, la cire 3a est suffisamment fluide pour pouvoir être extrudée par l'orifice 5a de la buse 5 lorsqu'on déplace le chariot 6 vers le conduit 4 en poussant sur le bouton de commande 8.The wax 3a contained in the duct 4 is brought to a temperature of the order of 60 ° C. At this temperature, the wax 3a is sufficiently fluid to be able to be extruded through the orifice 5a of the nozzle 5 when the carriage 6 towards the duct 4 by pushing the control button 8.

La cire 3a sort de la buse 5 sous forme de bandelette ou de boudin 3b de cire pâteuse que l'utilisateur applique sur la peau 24 de son visage à l'endroit précis qu'il désire épiler.The wax 3a emerges from the nozzle 5 in the form of a strip or flange 3b of pasty wax which the user applies to the skin 24 of his face at the precise place which he wishes to depilate.

Lorsque l'utilisateur a appliqué la quantité de cire désirée 3b sur la peau à épiler, il peut relâcher le bouton de commande 8. Le retour en arrière de la cartouche 3 engagée dans la bague 10 est empêché par l'ancrage réalisé par la lèvre 11 de la bague 10, du fait de sa pénétration dans la cire à l'état semi-pâteux.When the user has applied the desired amount of wax 3b to the skin to be depilated, he can release the control button 8. The backward movement of the cartridge 3 engaged in the ring 10 is prevented by the anchoring carried out by the lip 11 of the ring 10, due to its penetration into the wax in a semi-pasty state.

En fin de course du chariot 6, la cartouche 3 est entièrement engagée dans le conduit 4. Pour pouvoir continuer à utiliser l'appareil, il suffit alors d'introduire une nouvelle cartouche de cire 3 dans le magasin 2.At the end of the carriage 6 travel, the cartridge 3 is fully engaged in the conduit 4. In order to be able to continue using the device, it suffices then to introduce a new wax cartridge 3 into the magazine 2.

L'expérience montre que l'appareil à épiler conforme à l'invention est particulièrement commode à utiliser. Il permet en effet d'appliquer de la cire sur la peau avec une extrême précision et dans des quantités parfaitement dosées, ce qui permet d'épiler la peau dans des endroits très sensibles et de très faible étendue, par exemple proches de la bouche, des narines ou des yeux de l'utilisateur. De plus, l'appareil conforme à l'invention préserve l'utilisateur de tout contact de la cire chaude avec ses mains. De plus, étant donné que la température de chauffage de la cire est réglée par une thermistance 7, il n'existe aucun risque de surchauffe de la cire susceptible de causer des brûlures à la peau de l'utilisateur.Experience has shown that the depilatory device according to the invention is particularly convenient to use. It makes it possible to apply wax to the skin with extreme precision and in perfectly dosed quantities, which makes it possible to depilate the skin in very sensitive places and of very small extent, for example close to the mouth, the user's nostrils or eyes. In addition, the device according to the invention protects the user from any contact of the hot wax with his hands. In addition, since the heating temperature of the wax is regulated by a thermistor 7, there is no risk of overheating the wax which may cause burns to the skin of the user.

Par ailleurs, l'appareil conforme à l'invention ne nécessite aucun entretien ni aucun nettoyage. Ainsi, il est inutile d'enlever de l'appareil la cire qui reste dans le conduit 4 et qui s'y solidifie après utilisation. En effet, cette cire est parfaitement protégée à l'intérieur de l'appareil contre la poussière extérieure et peut donc être refondue et réutilisée.Furthermore, the device according to the invention requires no maintenance or cleaning. Thus, there is no need to remove from the apparatus the wax which remains in the duct 4 and which solidifies there after use. Indeed, this wax is perfectly protected inside the device against external dust and can therefore be remelted and reused.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple que l'on vient de décrire et on peut apporter à celui-ci de nombreuses modifications sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the example which has just been described and many modifications can be made to it without departing from the scope of the invention.

Ainsi, le magasin 2 pourrait être adapté pour contenir plusieurs cartouches de cire destinées à être engagées successivement dans le conduit 4.Thus, the magazine 2 could be adapted to contain several wax cartridges intended to be successively engaged in the conduit 4.

Bien entendu, l'appareil conforme à l'invention peut être utilisé pour épiler d'autres parties de la peau que le visage.Of course, the device according to the invention can be used to depilate other parts of the skin than the face.

L'appareil conforme à l'invention pourraitégale- ment être utilisé pour épiler les jambes, à condition que ses dimensions soient adaptées en conséquence, compte tenu des quantités relativement importantes de cire nécessitées par l'épilation des jambes.The apparatus according to the invention may also be used for depilating the legs, provided that its dimensions are adapted accordingly, taking into account the relatively large quantities of wax required by depilation of the legs.

La thermistance 7 peut être remplacée par une résistance électrique de chauffage classique éventuellement associée à un thermostat pour régler la température de chauffage de la cire.The thermistor 7 can be replaced by a conventional electrical heating resistance possibly associated with a thermostat to regulate the heating temperature of the wax.
