Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Scherkopf für Trockenrasierapparate mit den im Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a shaving head for dry shavers with the features specified in the preamble of the main claim.

Scherkopfkonstruktionen dieser Art, die zum Beispiel aus der DE-OS 28 43 657 bekannt sind, haben den Vorteil, daß sie sich zur Reinigung und zum Ersatz von beschädigten oder abgenutzten Scher­folien leicht zerlegen und wieder zusammensetzen lassen, auch von Laien und ungeübten Benutzern, ohne daß die empfindliche Scher­folie der Gefahr der Beschädigung ausgesetzt ist. Die Herstellung des Wechselrahmens und der Halterung der Scherfolie daran kann in einem Spritzvorgang erfolgen, so daß sich zusätzliche Arbeits­gänge erübrigen.Shaving head constructions of this type, which are known for example from DE-OS 28 43 657, have the advantage that they can be easily disassembled and reassembled for cleaning and replacing damaged or worn shaving foils, even by laymen and inexperienced users, without that the sensitive shaving foil is exposed to the risk of damage. The interchangeable frame and the mounting of the shaving foil thereon can be produced in one injection molding process, so that additional operations are unnecessary.

Um nun zu erreichen, daß die Scherfolie auch bei der Halterung in einem Wechselrahmen unter Rasierdruck zusammen mit dem Unter­messer nachgeben kann, damit die Kontaktfläche mit ihm erhalten bleibt und die Scherfolie nicht durch Ausbeulen und Knicken be­schädigt wird, hat man verschiedene Maßnahmen versucht, die aber insgesamt bisher nicht befriedigen konnten und daher, anders wie etwa bei der nachgiebigen Halterung der Scherfolie direkt im Scherkopfrahmen, keinen Zugang in die Serienfertigung fanden.Various measures have been attempted to ensure that the shaving foil can yield together with the lower knife even in the holder in a removable frame under shaving pressure, so that the contact surface is maintained and the shaving foil is not damaged by bulging and kinking have not been able to satisfy overall and therefore, unlike the flexible holding of the shaving foil directly in the shaving head frame, could not find access to series production.

So erscheint die Anordnung von Biegefedern als integraler Be­standteil des Wechselrahmens zwar auf den ersten Blick als vor­teilhaft, da auch hier kein zusätzlicher Arbeitsgang erforderlich ist, jedoch hat sich herausgestellt, daß diese Art der Federung wegen der notwendigen Materialdicke nur als relativ steif ver­wirklicht werden kann und die Dämpfung von Schwingungen, angeregt durch die Arbeitsbewegung des Untermessers, nicht ausreichend ist (DE-OS 28 43 657, JP-Gm-Anmeldung 49-2702). Der Wechselrahmen nach der letztgenannten Literaturstelle läßt sich überdies mit einfachen Mitteln nicht aus dem Scherkopfrahmen entnehmen.Thus, the arrangement of spiral springs as an integral part of the removable frame appears advantageous at first glance, since no additional work step is required here either, but it has been found that this type of suspension can only be realized as relatively stiff due to the necessary material thickness and the damping of vibrations, stimulated by the working movement of the lower knife, is not sufficient (DE-OS 28 43 657, JP-Gm application 49-2702). The change frame according to the latter literature reference can moreover not be removed from the shaving head frame with simple means.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik hat die Erfindung die Auf­gabe, bei einem Scherkopf der eingangs genannten Art sicherzu­stellen, daß die Scherfolie der nachgebenden Bewegung des Unter­messers unter Rasierdruck leicht zu folgen vermag, gegen Mitnahme durch die Arbeitsbewegung des Untermessers aber gefesselt bleibt, und daß die Scherfolie zusammen mit dem Wechselrahmen jederzeit leicht entnommen werden kann.Based on this prior art, the invention has the object to ensure with a shaving head of the type mentioned that the shaving foil can easily follow the yielding movement of the lower knife under shaving pressure, but remains tied against entrainment by the working movement of the lower knife, and that The shaving foil together with the removable frame can be easily removed at any time.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches angegebenen Maßnahmen in überraschend einfacher Weise gelöst. Die erfindungsgemäße Halterung und Führung des Wechselrahmens im Scherkopfrahmen läßt sich in verschiedener Weise verwirklichen. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausbildung ist mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 2 gegeben. Die Anordnung und Ausbildung der Laschen er­laubt es, durch die Wahl der Materialdicke die Elastizität von den Rahmenlängsseiten zu den Laschen nach ihren getrennten Funk­tionen zu variieren und zwischen den Flächen der Laschen und den Seiten des Scherkopfrahmens eine gewünschte Reibung durch Wahl des Andruckes und des Reibungskoeffizienten einzustellen, wodurch Schwingungen gedämpft werden können. Weitere vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige spezielle Merkmale zur weiteren Ausbildung der Erfin­dung sind den Unteransprüchen 3 bis 7 zu entnehmen.This object is achieved in a surprisingly simple manner by the measures specified in the characterizing part of the patent claim. The holder and guidance of the interchangeable frame in the shaving head frame according to the invention can be implemented in various ways. A particularly advantageous embodiment is given with the features of claim 2. The arrangement and design of the tabs allows the elasticity to be varied from the longitudinal sides of the frame to the tabs according to their separate functions by the choice of the material thickness, and to set a desired friction between the surfaces of the tabs and the sides of the shaving head frame by selecting the pressure and the coefficient of friction , which can dampen vibrations. Further advantageous and expedient special features for the further development of the invention can be found in subclaims 3 to 7.

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Scherkopf für Trockenrasierapparate besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Scherkopfrahmen 1 üblicher Bau­art, der auf dem Apparategehäuse 2 abnehmbar aufgesetzt ist. In den Scherkopfrahmen 1 ist ein umfanggeschlossener, kastenförmiger Wechselrahmen 3 einsetzbar, der aus einem begrenzt elastischem Material besteht, in dem eine Scherfolie 4 gewölbt eingespannt ist. Diese Scherfolie 4 wirkt mit einem entsprechend ihrer Wöl­bung geschliffenen Untermesser 5 zusammen, das durch eine Feder 6 in die Wölbung der Scherfolie 4 hineingedrückt und über einen Schwinghebel 7 von einem nicht dargestellten Motor in hin- und hergehende Bewegung versetzt wird.The shaving head for dry shavers shown in Fig. 1 consists essentially of a shaving head frame 1 of conventional design, which is detachably placed on the apparatus housing 2. In the shaving head frame 1, a circumferentially closed, box-shaped interchangeable frame 3 can be used, which consists of a limited elastic material in which a shaving foil 4 is arched. This shaving foil 4 interacts with a lower knife 5 ground according to its curvature, which is pressed into the curvature of the shaving foil 4 by a spring 6 and is set into a reciprocating movement by a motor (not shown) via a rocker arm 7.

Der in Fig. 3 in seinem entnommenen Zustand und ohne Scherfolie im Schnitt dargestellte Wechselrahmen 3 hat zwei Querseiten 8 und 9 und zwei Längsseiten 10 und 11, an deren Unterkanten Laschen 12 und 13 etwas nach innen versetzt angeformt sind. Diese Laschen sind elastisch und in der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ruhelage mit geringem Winkel nach außen angestellt.The removable frame 3 shown in FIG. 3 in its removed state and without a shaving foil has two transverse sides 8 and 9 and two longitudinal sides 10 and 11, on the lower edges of which tabs 12 and 13 are formed somewhat offset inwards. These tabs are elastic and in the rest position shown in FIG. 3 are set at a small angle to the outside.

An den Laschen 12 und 13 sind der eine Teil der Halterungs- und Führungsmittel für den Wechselrahmen 3 im Scherkopfrahmen 1 in From von Öffnungen 14 angebracht, in die als anderer Teil der Halterungs- und Führungsmittel hakenförmige Vorsprünge 15, die an den zugeordneten Innenflächen 16 des Scherkopfrahmens 1 vorge­sehen sind, eingreifen. Die Passungen zwischen den Öffnungen und Vorsprüngen sind zum Teil als enge Gleitpassung gewählt, die nur eine Vertikalbewegung aber keine wesentliche Bewegung in Arbeits­richtung des Untermessers zuläßt, während für die nachgebende Be­wegung von Wechselrahmen un Scherfolie in bzw. entgegen der Pfeilrichtung A eine diesem Bewegungshub entsprechende Spiel­passung vorgesehen ist, wie dies in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist.On the tabs 12 and 13, a part of the mounting and guiding means for the interchangeable frame 3 in the shaving head frame 1 are attached in the form of openings 14 into which, as another part of the mounting and guiding means, hook-shaped projections 15, which on the associated inner surfaces 16 of the Shaving head frame 1 are provided to intervene. The fits between the openings and projections are selected in part as a narrow sliding fit, which only allows vertical movement but no significant movement in the working direction of the lower knife, while for the yielding movement of removable frames and shaving foil in or against the arrow direction A, a clearance fit corresponding to this movement stroke is provided, as shown in Fig. 1.

Die Halterungs- und Führungsmittel können natürlich auch ver­tauscht vorgesehen sein, d.h. die Vorsprünge 15.1 befinden sich an den Laschen 12, 13 und die Öffnungen 14.1 an den Innenflächen 16 des Scherkopfrahmens 1. Die Höhe der Öffnungen 14 bzw. 14′ ist etwas größer als der mögliche Weg des Untermessers 5 unter Rasierdruck d.h. entgegen der Richtung des Pfeiles A und dem gewählten Verschiebeweg B zwischen dem Wechselrahmen 3 und dem Scherkopfrahmen 1, der nach unten durch Aufsetzen der Unterkante des Wechselrahmens auf der Oberkante des Scherkopfrahmens be­grenzt ist. Über den Querseiten 8, 9 des Wechselrahmens 3 erheben sich Stirnwangen 17, 18, die an ihren, den Stirnwangen 19, 20 des Scherkopfrahmens 1 zugekehrten Außenflächen mit Gleitnoppen 21 versehen sind. Der Abstand der Stirnwangen 17, 18 des Wechel­rahmens voneinander hat ein gewisses Übermaß gegenüber dem ent­sprechenden Abstand der Stirnwangen 19, 20 des Scherkopfrahmens 1, so daß die Stirnwangenpaare 17 - 19 und 18 - 20 über die Gleitnoppen 21 mit einer leichten Spannung aneinanderliegen.The mounting and guide means can of course also be interchanged, ie the projections 15.1 are on the tabs 12, 13 and the openings 14.1 on the inner surfaces 16 of the shaving head frame 1. The height of the openings 14 and 14 'is slightly larger than that possible way of the lower knife 5 under shaving pressure ie opposite to the direction of arrow A and the selected displacement path B between the changing frame 3 and the shaving head frame 1, which is limited at the bottom by placing the lower edge of the changing frame on the upper edge of the shaving head frame. Above the transverse sides 8, 9 of the interchangeable frame 3 rise end cheeks 17, 18 which are provided with sliding knobs 21 on their outer surfaces facing the end cheeks 19, 20 of the shaving head frame 1. The distance between the end cheeks 17, 18 of the interchangeable frame from each other has a certain excess compared to the corresponding distance between the end cheeks 19, 20 of the shaving head frame 1, so that the end cheek pairs 17 - 19 and 18 - 20 abut against one another with a slight tension via the sliding knobs 21.

An den Längsseiten 10 und 11 des Wechselrahmens ist schließlich die Scherfolie 4 befestigt, in diesem Falle in der Regel starr, etwa durch Verschweißen oder Umspritzen. Es ist aber durchaus möglich, die Scherfolie 4 auch in einer bekannten Weise zusätz­lich elastisch nachgiebig zu haltern (z.B. gemäß DE-PS 11 68 796), wie in Fig. 4, rechte Seite, mit Ziffer 22 darge­stellt ist. Bei Verwendung eines Wechselrahmens 3.1 mit doppel­gewölbter Scherfolie 4.1, ist es von Vorteil, im Bereich der - wie oben erwähnt - aneinanderliegenden, aber hier breiteren Stirnwangen 23 - 24 eine zusätliche Vertikalführung vorzusehen, und zwar in Form eines an der Stirnwange 24 des Scherkopfrahmens 1.1 angebrachten Bolzens 25, der in eine Vertikalnut 26 an der Stirnwange 23 des Wechselrahmens 3.1 eingreift (Fig. 5). Auch hier kann die Anordnung der am Wechselrahmen und Scherkopfrahmen vorgesehenen Führungsmittel - wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt - getroffen sein.Finally, the shaving foil 4 is fastened to the long sides 10 and 11 of the interchangeable frame, in this case generally rigid, for example by welding or extrusion coating. However, it is entirely possible to additionally hold the shaving foil 4 in a known manner in an elastically flexible manner (e.g. according to DE-PS 11 68 796), as shown in FIG. 4, right-hand side, with number 22. When using an interchangeable frame 3.1 with a double-curved shaving foil 4.1, it is advantageous to provide an additional vertical guide in the area of the end cheeks 23 - 24 which are adjacent to one another but are wider here, as mentioned above, in the form of an attached to the end cheek 24 of the shaving head frame 1.1 Bolt 25 which engages in a vertical groove 26 on the front cheek 23 of the interchangeable frame 3.1 (Fig. 5). Here, too, the arrangement of the guide means provided on the interchangeable frame and shaving head frame can be made - as shown in FIG. 2.

Die Scherfolie 4.1 nach Fig. 4 und 5 ist im Tal zwischen den bei­den Bögen durch eine Stange 27 oder dergleichen abgestützt, die ihrerseits an den beiden Stirnwangen 23 des Wechselrahmens 3.1 gehalten ist. Die sonstige Ausbildung der Halterungs- und Füh­rungsmittel und der zugehörigen Teile beider Rahmen 1.1 und 3.1 entspricht der in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Scherkopfanordnung mit einfach gewölbter Scherfolie.4 and 5 is supported in the valley between the two arches by a rod 27 or the like, which in turn is held on the two end cheeks 23 of the interchangeable frame 3.1. The other design of the holding and guiding means and the associated parts of both frames 1.1 and 3.1 corresponds to the shaving head arrangement shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 with a simply curved shaving foil.

Bei einer gewollt schwächeren Ausbildung der Feder 6 für die Untermesseranordnung 5 kann es von Vorteil sein, im Bewegungsbe­reich zwischen dem Wechselrahmen 3 und dem Scherkopfrahmen 1 wei­tere Federungsmittel, z.B. Blattfedern 28, vorzusehen, die direkt zwischen beiden Teilen wirken. Wie Fig. 6 zeigt, ist es in diesem Falle zweckmäßig, auf der Oberkante der Längswände 29 des Scher­kopfrahmens 1.2 je eine Nut 30 anzubringen, in die die Blattfeder 28 eingelegt ist und sich gegen die Unterkante der zugeordneten Längswand 10 des Wechselrahmens 3 abstützt.With a deliberately weaker design of the spring 6 for the lower knife arrangement 5, it can be advantageous to provide additional spring means, for example leaf springs 28, in the range of motion between the interchangeable frame 3 and the shaving head frame 1, which act directly between the two parts. As shown in FIG. 6, in this case it is expedient to provide a groove 30 in each case on the upper edge of the longitudinal walls 29 of the shaving head frame 1.2, in which the leaf spring 28 is inserted and supported against the lower edge of the associated longitudinal wall 10 of the removable frame 3.

Zur Montage des Scherkopfes wird der Wechselrahmen 3 bzw. 3.1 durch Druck auf seine Längsseiten 10, 11 soweit nach innen ver­formt, daß er mit seinen Laschen 12, 13 von oben in den Scher­kopfrahmen 1, 1.1, 1.2 eingeführt werden kann, bis die Halte­rungsmittel einrasten. Die Laschen 12, 13 hintergreifen dabei die zugeordneten Innenflächen 16 des Scherkopfrahmens und liegen dort mit leichter Spannung an.To assemble the shaving head, the interchangeable frame 3 or 3.1 is deformed inward by pressure on its long sides 10, 11 so that it can be inserted with its tabs 12, 13 into the shaving head frame 1, 1.1, 1.2 from above until the holding means snap into place . The tabs 12, 13 engage behind the associated inner surfaces 16 of the shaving head frame and rest there with slight tension.

Unter Rasierdruck vermag auf diese Weise der Wechselrahmen zusammen mit der eingespannten ein- oder mehrfach gewölbten Scherfolie und er mit dieser zusammenwirkenden Untermesseranord­nung nach dem Gehäuseinneren nachzugeben, ohne daß sich die Scherfolie ausbeult und der Kontaktbereich zwischen beiden Scher­teilen verringert wird. Die mit leichter Spannung an den Wandun­gen des Scherkopfrahmens anliegenden entsprechenden Flächen des Wechselrahmens gewährleisten dabei, daß die Verschiebebewegung unter einer gewissen Reibung erfolgt, mit der Flattern und Schwingungen des Wechselrahmens weitgehend ausgeschaltet werden. Der zusätzliche Bauaufwand ist gering, so daß auch eine wirt­schaftliche Herstellung sichergestellt ist.Under shaving pressure, the interchangeable frame together with the clamped-in single or multiple-curved shaving foil and it with this cooperating bottom knife arrangement can yield to the inside of the housing without the shaving foil bulging out and the contact area between the two shear parts being reduced. The corresponding surfaces of the interchangeable frame which bear against the walls of the shaving head frame with slight tension ensure that the displacement movement takes place with a certain amount of friction, with which fluttering and vibrations of the interchangeable frame are largely eliminated. The additional construction effort is low, so that economical production is also ensured.
