Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Doppel-Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat mit einem am vorderen Ende eines Handgriffs angeordneten Rasierapparatekopf, in dem eine zur Schneidkante waagerechte Schwingachse definierende Halterung für eine um eine federbelastete Nullage schwingbare Rasierklingeneinheit angeordnet ist, wobei die Rasierklingeneinheit zusätzlich um eine in der Längssymmetrieebene des Rasierapparates liegende, senkrechte Achse ebenfalls ausgehend von einer federbelasteten Nullage schwingbar im Rasierapparatekopf gelagert ist.The invention relates to a double oscillating-head razor with a razor head arranged at the front end of a handle, in which a holder defining a horizontal oscillation axis that is horizontal to the cutting edge is arranged for a razor blade unit that can be pivoted about a spring-loaded zero position, the razor blade unit additionally being arranged in the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the razor horizontal axis is also swingably mounted in the razor head, starting from a spring-loaded zero position.
Ein Doppel-Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat dieser Art ist aus der EP-OS 0 195 602 bekannt. Dabei ist am vorderen Ende eines Handgriffs ein Rasierapparatekopf angeordnet, der den kombinierten Halte- und Schwingmechanismus für eine Rasierklingeneinheit aufnimmt. Zu diesem Zweck ist innerhalb des Handgriffs sowie innerhalb des Rasierapparatekopfes eine Y-förmige Blattfeder angeordnet. Innerhalb des Handgriffs verlaufen dabei zwei zueinander parallele Federarme, die am unteren Ende einstückig miteinander verbunden und durch das Verbindungsstück innerhalb des Handgriffs derart festgelegt sind, daß die Federarme sich frei biegen können. Im Bereich des Rasierapparatekopfes sind die vorderen Enden der Federarme nach außen hin abgewinkelt und darüber hinaus bezüglich der Längserstreckung innerhalb des Handgriffes abgeknickt. Die vorderen Enden der Federarme sind nach innen derart koaxial zueinander abgewinkelt, daß sie eine Halterung für eine Rasierklingeneinheit mit einer zur Schneidkante der Rasierklinge parallelen, waagerechten Schwingachse definieren. Um diese Schwingachse ist die Rasierklingeneinheit um eine federbelastete Nullage schwingbar, wobei zur Definierung dieser Nullage ein rückseitiger Nocken der Rasierklingeneinheit am Rasierapparatekopf anliegt. Durch die Ausbildung der Federarme als Blattfedern und darüber hinaus durch die Abknickung im Bereich des Überganges zwischen dem Handgriff und dem Rasierapparatekopf ist die Rasierklingeneinheit zusätzlich um eine Achse schwingbar, die senkrecht bezüglich der durch die Federarme im Bereich des Rasierapparatekopfes definierten Ebene liegt.A double oscillating head shaver of this type is known from EP-OS 0 195 602. In this case, a razor head is arranged at the front end of a handle, which receives the combined holding and swinging mechanism for a razor blade unit. For this purpose, a Y-shaped leaf spring is arranged inside the handle and inside the shaver head. Two mutually parallel spring arms run within the handle and are integrally connected to one another at the lower end and are fixed by the connecting piece within the handle in such a way that the spring arms can bend freely. In the area of the razor head, the front ends of the spring arms are angled outwards and, moreover, they are kinked with respect to the longitudinal extension within the handle. The front ends of the spring arms are angled coaxially to one another in that they are a Define a holder for a razor blade unit with a horizontal oscillation axis parallel to the cutting edge of the razor blade. The razor blade unit can be pivoted about a spring-loaded zero position about this oscillation axis, with a rear cam of the razor blade unit resting against the razor head in order to define this zero position. Due to the design of the spring arms as leaf springs and also due to the kink in the area of the transition between the handle and the razor head, the razor blade unit can additionally be swiveled about an axis which is perpendicular to the plane defined by the spring arms in the area of the razor head.
Der bekannte Doppel-Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat kann mit seiner Rasierklingeneinheit zwar eine zwei-dimensionale Schwingbewegung mit zwei Schwingachsen ausführen, so daß eine optimale Anpassung der Rasierklingeneinheit an die Gesichtsform des Benutzers während der Rasur möglich ist, doch ist der konstruktive Aufbau sehr kompliziert und es bedarf bei der Montage manuelles Geschick, um die relativ lange, Y-förmige Feder sowohl in den Handgriff als auch in den Rasierapparatekopf einzufügen, wobei darüber hinaus die vorderen Enden der Federarme durch Öffnungen im Rasierapparatekopf hindurchgesteckt werden müssen. Darüber hinaus müssen die Federarme sehr exakt gebogen werden, damit sie genau in das Gehäuse hineinpassen. Abweichungen von der vorgegebenen Krümmung führen dazu, daß das Schwingverhalten der Rasierklingeneinheit beeinträchtigt ist.The known double oscillating head razor can perform a two-dimensional oscillating movement with two oscillating axes with its razor blade unit, so that an optimal adaptation of the razor blade unit to the face shape of the user is possible during shaving, but the construction is very complicated and required manual dexterity during assembly to insert the relatively long, Y-shaped spring into both the handle and the razor head, the front ends of the spring arms also having to be inserted through openings in the razor head. In addition, the spring arms must be bent very precisely so that they fit exactly into the housing. Deviations from the predetermined curvature lead to the vibration behavior of the razor blade unit being impaired.
Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen konstruktiv vereinfachten Doppel-Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat zu schaffen, der vor allem leicht montierbar ist.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to create a structurally simplified double oscillating-head razor which, above all, is easy to assemble.
Als technische Lösung wird mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, daß der Rasierapparatekopf einen äußeren Apparatekörper mit einem frontseitigen Fenster aufweist, in das die Halterung für die Rasierklingeneinheit als separate Baugruppe eingesetzt und im Apparatekörper festgelegt ist, wobei diese separate Baugruppe innerhalb des Apparatekörpers schwingbar um die senkrechte Achse gelagert ist.As a technical solution it is proposed with the invention that the razor head has an outer apparatus body with a front window into which the holder for the razor blade unit is inserted as a separate assembly and is fixed in the apparatus body, this separate assembly being oscillatable about the vertical axis within the apparatus body is stored.
Auf diese Weise ist ein technisch sehr einfacher Doppel-Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat geschaffen, der auf überaus einfache Weise zusammengesetzt werden kann. Das eigentliche Gehäuse des Rasierapparates, also der Handgriff mit dem äußeren Apparatekörper für den Rasierapparatekopf, kann in einem einzigen Spritzvorgang hergestellt werden. Ebenso kann die separate Baugruppe mit der Halterung für die Rasierklingeneinheit vorgefertigt werden. Es ist lediglich dann nur noch erforderlich, die vorgefertigte separate Baugruppe in den Apparatekörper einzusetzen, ohne daß es dazu eines besonderen Aufwandes bedarf. Dabei ist die separate Baugruppe für die Querbewegungen der Rasierklingeneinheit verantwortlich, wohingegen die in der separaten Baugruppe integrierte Halterung der herkömmlichen Schwingbewegungen um die waagerechte Schwingachse dient. Eine derartige separate Baugruppe stellt somit eine technisch einfache Möglichkeit dar, um einerseits den Haltemechanismus für die Rasierklingeneinheit innerhalb des Rasierapparatekopfes anordnen zu können und andererseits auf technisch einfache Weise eine Querbewegung der Rasierklingeneinheit zu ermöglichen.In this way, a technically very simple double oscillating-head razor is created, which can be assembled in an extremely simple manner. The actual housing of the shaving apparatus, that is to say the handle with the outer apparatus body for the shaving apparatus head, can be produced in a single injection process. Likewise, the separate assembly can be prefabricated with the holder for the razor blade unit. It is then only necessary to insert the prefabricated separate assembly into the apparatus body, without requiring any special effort. The separate assembly is responsible for the transverse movements of the razor blade unit, whereas the holder integrated in the separate assembly serves the conventional swinging movements around the horizontal swinging axis. Such a separate assembly thus represents a technically simple possibility, on the one hand, of being able to arrange the holding mechanism for the razor blade unit within the razor head and, on the other hand, of enabling a transverse movement of the razor blade unit in a technically simple manner.
Dabei liegt in einer Weiterbildung die senkrechte Achse vorzugsweise im Bereich des Fensters des Apparatekörpers. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich ein optimales Schwingverhalten der separaten Baugruppe und damit der Rasierklingeneinheit.In one development, the vertical axis preferably lies in the area of the window of the apparatus body. This results in an optimal vibration behavior of the separate assembly and thus the razor blade unit.
Um eine technisch einfache schwingbare Lagerung der separaten Baugruppe innerhalb des Apparatekörpers zu schaffen, ist diese in einer Weiterbildung durch oben und unten an der separaten Baugruppe ausgebildete Zapfen sowie dazu korrespondierende, jeweils eine Hinterschneidung aufweisende Aufnehmungen im Apparatekörper gebildet, in die die Baugruppe eingerastet ist. Auf diese Weise ist auch eine technisch einfache Montage der separaten Baugruppe innerhalb des Apparatekörpers möglich.In order to create a technically simple, oscillatable mounting of the separate assembly within the apparatus body, this is formed in a further development by means of pins formed at the top and bottom of the separate assembly and corresponding receptacles in the apparatus body, each with an undercut, into which the assembly is latched. In this way, a technically simple assembly of the separate assembly within the apparatus body is also possible.
Für die federbelastete Nullage der separaten Baugruppe wird in einer konstruktiven Ausführungsform vorgeschlagen, daß zwischen der Rückwand des Apparatekörpers und der Rückseite der separaten Baugruppe zumindest eine Feder angeordnet ist. In einer ersten Alternative ist dabei beidseitig der mittleren Längssymmetrieebene jeweils eine Druckfeder zwischen der Rückwand des Apparatekörpers und der Rückseite der separaten Baugruppe angeordnet, wobei die Druckfeder vorzugsweise als Wendelfeder ausgebildet ist, die auf an der Rückwand des Apparatekörpers und der Rückseite der separaten Baugruppe angeformte Zapfen aufgesteckt ist. Als zweite Alternative ist an der Rückseite der separaten Baugruppe eine in der Längssymmetrieebene liegende, nach hinten ragende Blattfeder fest angeordnet und mit ihrem freien anderen Ende in einer schlitzförmigen Aufnehmung an der Rückwand des Apparatekörpers frei beweglich festgelegt. All diese Federanordnungen stellen eine technisch einfache Möglichkeit dar, um die separate Baugruppe in ihre Nullage zu bringen, von der ausgehend die Baugruppe dann die Schwingbewegungen ausführen kann.For the spring-loaded zero position of the separate assembly, it is proposed in a constructive embodiment that at least one spring is arranged between the rear wall of the apparatus body and the back of the separate assembly. In a first alternative, a compression spring is arranged on both sides of the central longitudinal symmetry plane between the rear wall of the apparatus body and the rear of the separate assembly, the compression spring preferably being designed as a helical spring, which is formed on pins formed on the rear wall of the apparatus body and the rear of the separate assembly is attached. As a second alternative, a leaf spring lying in the longitudinal plane of symmetry and projecting to the rear is fixedly arranged on the back of the separate assembly and is freely movable with its other free end in a slot-shaped receptacle on the rear wall of the apparatus body. All these spring arrangements represent a technically simple possibility to bring the separate assembly into its zero position, from which the assembly can then carry out the oscillating movements.
Um dem Benutzer die Möglichkeit zu eröffnen, je nach Wunsch die Rasierklingeneinheit schwingen oder feststehen zu lassen, wird schließlich in einer Weiterbildung des Schwingkopf-Rasierapparates vorgeschlagen, daß die Rasierklingeneinheit in ihrer Rasierposition durch eine vom Benutzer zu tätigende Sperrvorrichtung arretierbar ist.In order to open up the possibility for the user to swing or leave the razor blade unit stationary as desired, it is finally proposed in a further development of the oscillating head razor that the razor blade unit in its Shaving position can be locked by a locking device to be operated by the user.

- Fig. 2 eine erste Ausführungsform der separaten Baugruppe vor dem Einsetzen in den Rasierapparatekopf;
- Fig. 3 eine zweite Ausführungsform der separaten Baugruppe vor dem Einsetzen in den Rasierapparatekopf.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a razor with the holding mechanism inserted into the razor head in the form of a separate assembly for the razor blade unit.

Der Doppel-Schwingkopf-Naßrasierapparat weist einen Rasierapparatekopf 1 auf, der am vorderen Ende eines Handgriffs 2 angeordnet ist. Der Rasierapparatekopf 1 ist dabei durch einen Apparatekörper 3 mit einem frontseitigen Fenster 4 gebildet, in das die zur eigentlichen Halterung der nicht dargestellten Rasierklingeneinheit gehörenden Teile in Form einer separaten Baugruppe 5 eingeschoben werden kann.The double oscillating head wet shaver has a
Diese separate Baugruppe 5 besteht in beiden Ausführungsformen aus einem Gehäuse 6, in dem zunächst eine Halterung 7 in Form einer Gabelhalterung mit Aufnahmegabeln 8 gelagert ist. Mittels eines nicht dargestellten Betätigungselements beispielsweise in Form eines Schiebers oder eines Druckknopfes sind die freien Enden der Aufnahmegabeln 8 der Halterung 7 derart nach außen verschwenkbar, daß nach dem Zurückschwenken die Aufnahmegabeln 8 in entsprechende Ausnehmungen der Rasierklingeneinheit greifen und diese aufnehmen und halten. Dabei ist durch die Verbindungslinie der freien, nach innen gerichteten Enden der Aufnahmegabeln 8 eine Schwingachse S definiert, um die herum die Rasierklingeneinheit verschwenkbar ist und sich beim Rasieren der Gesichtsform unter Beibehaltung eines günstigen Rasierwinkels durch die Verschwenkbewegungen anpassen kann.In both embodiments, this separate assembly 5 consists of a
Um die Rasierklingeneinheit dabei in einer federbelasteten Nullage halten zu können, ist im Gehäuse 6 der separaten Baugruppe 5 weiterhin ein eindrückbarer Federnocken 9 gelagert, der an der Rückseite der Rasierklingeneinheit abgestützt ist, wobei zu diesem Zweck diese mit einer in der Längssymmetrieebene liegenden Rippe versehen ist.In order to be able to hold the razor blade unit in a spring-loaded zero position, a push-in
Zusätzlich zu der Verschwenkbewegung der Rasierklingeneinheit um die Schwingachse S ist diese noch um eine in der Längssymmetrieebene des Rasierapparatekopfes 1 liegende, senkrechte Achse A schwingbar. Zu diesem Zweck ist die separate Baugruppe 5 innerhalb des Apparatekörpers 3 um die Achse A verschwenkbar gelagert. Dazu dienen an der Oberseite und an der Unterseite des Gehäuses 6 angeformte Zapfen 10, die in der Achse A liegend diese definieren. Dazu korrespondierend sind im Innern des Apparatekörpers 3 Hinterschneidungen 11 aufweisende Ausnehmungen 12 vorgesehen, die mit den Zapfen 10 des Gehäuses 6 der Baugruppe 5 korrespondieren. Durch Einsetzen der Baugruppe 5 mit ihrem Gehäuse 6 in den Apparatekörper 3 rasten die Zapfen 10 nach Passieren der Hinterschneidungen 11 in den Aussparungen 12 ein, wobei die Durchmesserverhältnisse derart sind, daß die Baugruppe 5 eine Drehbewegung innerhalb des Apparatekörpers 3 ausführen kann. Zu diesem Zweck sind auch die Seitenwände 13 des Gehäuses 6 abgerundet.In addition to the pivoting movement of the razor blade unit about the oscillation axis S, it can also be oscillated about a vertical axis A lying in the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the
Damit die separate Baugruppe 5 ausgehend von einer federbelasteten Nullage schwingen kann, ist zwischen der Rückwand 14 des Apparatekörpers 3 und der Rückseite 15 der Baugruppe 5 eine Federanordnung vorgesehen. Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 2 sind hierfür zwei wendelförmige Druckfedern 16 vorgesehen, die von der Längssymmetrieebene des Rasierapparatekopfes 1 gleichbeabstandet sind. Um die Position dieser Druckfedern 16 zu fixieren, sind an der Rückseite 15 der Baugruppe 5 sowie an der Rückwand 14 des Apparatekörpers 3 jeweils zwei Zapfen 17 angeformt, auf die die wendelförmigen Druckfedern 16 aufgesteckt sind.So that the separate assembly 5 can swing starting from a spring-loaded zero position, a spring arrangement is provided between the
Bei der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist als Feder eine einzige Blattfeder 18 vorgesehen. Diese liegt senkrecht stehend in der Längssymmetrieebene des Rasierapparatekopfes 1 und ist mit ihrem vorderen Ende im Gehäuse 6 der Baugruppe 5 befestigt. Das hintere, freie Ende der Blattfeder 18 greift in eine schlitzförmige Aufnehmung 19, die an der Rückwand 14 des Apparatekörpers 3 ausgebildet ist und in der die Blattfeder 18 längsverschiebbar ist.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a
Bei beiden Ausführungsformen ist die separate Baugruppe 5 und damit die Rasierklingeneinheit um die Achse A schwingbar, wie durch den Pfeil P angedeutet ist. Bei einer Verschwenkbewegung der Baugruppe während des Rasiervorganges wird dabei die Feder derart gespannt, daß bei Loslassen die Baugruppe 5 in ihre Nullage wieder zurückkehrt und die Grundposition einnimmt. Auf diese Weise kann die Rasierklingeneinheit eine Schwingbewegung um zwei Achsen ausführen, so daß sich die Rasierklingeneinheit beim Rasieren der Gesichtsform optimal anpassen kann.In both embodiments, the separate assembly 5 and thus the razor blade unit can be pivoted about the axis A, as indicated by the arrow P. When the assembly is pivoted during the shaving process, the spring is tensioned in such a way that when released, the assembly 5 returns to its zero position and assumes the basic position. In this way, the razor blade unit can swing about two axes, so that the razor blade unit can optimally adapt to the shape of the face when shaving.
Sofern der Benutzer je nach Wunsch die Rasierklingeneinheit schwingen oder feststehen lassen will, kann der Rasierapparatekopf 1 zusätzlich noch mit einer nicht dargestellten Sperrvorrichtung ausgestattet sein, mittels der eine entsprechende Arretierung möglich ist.If the user wants the razor blade unit to vibrate or to remain stationary, the
