Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electric hand-held appliance of the hair dryer type, portable tool or similar devices having: control members whose position is variable, with a view to increasing ease and comfort of use.
- control members whose position is variable, with a view to increasing ease and comfort of use.
- a device whose control members can be used both by a right-hander than a left-hander.
- Technological background [0003] A large number of electrical devices such as hair dryers and other appliances, household or other, are generally constituted by a body equipped with a series of functional organs. It may be in the case of a hair dryer elements intended to heat, generally electrically, air which circulates under the effect of a motor and a fan and which is taken at one end. from the body.
- the air heats up on contact with heating elements (usually electrical resistors) and is then expelled at the opposite end in the form of a flow of hot air.
- heating elements usually electrical resistors
- the outlet end is shaped or can be provided with removable end pieces so as to shape the flow of hot air released.
- appliances or devices for household use are formed by a main body equipped with functional elements and a handle mounted on the body.
- the handle is then generally equipped with a series of control members, usually switches in the form in particular of slides, pushers or rockers for controlling various functions.
- switches in the form in particular of slides, pushers or rockers for controlling various functions.
- one or more switches act on the speed of the fan, for which it is common for example to have three positions (off , slow walking and fast walking).
- switches comprising in the same way, two and preferably three positions act on the heating. They generally include a position for interrupting the heating function, an intermediate position and a high temperature position.
- an additional switch is intended to give a "cold spell", that is to say, for a short time depending on the hairstyling operation to be carried out, a stream of cold air.
- This type of switch is generally provided with a spring, since it is actuated only for a very short time and in normal operation, it is returned by the spring to its initial position, which allows return to normal operation preset by the two aforementioned switches.
- control members that is to say of actuation and adjustment, are designed according to the type of device and its destination.
- These control members operating essentially with a series or a battery of switches or detents, are most often fixed on the front part of the handle or are arranged laterally.
- the control members are used by the operator, who may be a third party (for example, a hairdresser) but who may also be a person who wishes to comb his hair or dry his hair. herself.
- the battery of control members In the case where the battery of control members is arranged laterally, it would ideally be two different models depending on whether the user is left or right handed. When the battery of controls is placed on the front side of the hair dryer, it can be used by both left-handers and right-handers.
- This configuration is particularly preferred when a person wishes to dry their hair themselves, that is to say when, generally looking at themselves in a mirror, they direct the hair dryer towards them.
- the battery of control members if it is arranged on the front face, is almost in the palm of the hand.
- a layout lateral would be preferable, but again we come up against the fact that a left-handed operator will not be able to use a device designed for a right-handed person.
- certain users may prefer an intermediate position between the position on the front face and the arrangement corresponding to an angle of 90 degrees (in one direction or the other depending on the use by a right-hander or left-handed) corresponding to the lateral position.
- the present invention aims to provide a solution to the difficulties mentioned above, and in particular to provide a device for which the position of the control members can be changed according to the wishes of the user.
- Figures 1 and 2 show schematic perspective views of a device of the hair dryer type according to the invention, comprising a battery of control members, in this case switches mounted on a common barrel.
- a barrel fitted to the handle and carrying switches is turned to the left lateral position (switches at 90 ° from normal to the front face, counterclockwise, seen from above) .
- the handle barrel is in the front position.
- Figures 3 to 5 show end views of the handle of the hairdryer, according to the invention, where there is a switch, arranged in three positions of the barrel: front ( Figure 3), right side at 45 °
- Figure 6 shows a view similar to Figure 1 of a hair dryer of another embodiment according to the invention comprising a battery of control members (switches) mounted independently.
- Identical reference marks are used in the different figures for identical or similar constituent elements.
- the invention relates to an electrical hand-held device of the hair dryer type or the like comprising a body including a series of functional elements, in this case for a hair dryer, one or more resistors intended for heating electrically air and a fan actuated by a motor serving to create a flow of hot air expelled at one end of said body and by a handle having several control members such as switches allowing the user to operate and adjust said device, characterized in that said handle comprises at least one barrel, movable about an axis, and in that each control member is integral with the movement of the barrel on which it is mounted.
- the barrel is provided with at least two control members intended to assume the essential functions of the device, namely to act on the speed of the fan and on the heating power.
- all of the different switches are mounted on a common barrel, but the invention does not exclude other embodiments, for example a positioning of a complementary general switch (On / Off) on the body of the handle, in a fixed position.
- each segment can be provided with one or more switches and can perform a rotational movement independently of the adjacent segment.
- switch should be understood in the broad sense and includes any regulator, step by step or continuously, heating and fan speed functions.
- the switches can be of the slide, push, rocker, sensitive, etc. type.
- a device is provided so that the rotational movement of the barrel is indexed by any suitable means to assume stable positions.
- Said stable positions comprise at least one left lateral position, at 90 ° relative to the normal to the front face of the handle (in the anticlockwise direction, seen from above), and a lateral position right (idem, but clockwise), passing through the anterior or frontal arrangement, and if necessary with intermediate arrangements (for example at 45 degrees) between the left lateral position on the one hand and the anterior position and on the other hand said anterior position and the right lateral position.
- each of the indexed positions can be locked by adequate locking means.
- this comprises an electrical supply cord which is connectable to an electrical outlet at one end and which enters the handle to supply the device via the switches.
- the wiring and / or the electrical contacts inside the handle at the level of the switches are designed so as not to constitute an obstacle to the movement of the barrel to pass from one position to the other and therefore to respect the standards of security.
- FIG. 1 and 2 is a schematic view of an illustrative embodiment of the invention consisting of a hair dryer.
- This comprises a body 1, a handle or a handle 11, a barrel common to several control members 12, a general switch 3 and the connection 4 for the power cord (not shown).
- a battery of control members 2 consisting of three switches 5, 6, 7.
- a first switch 5 makes it possible to adjust the speed of the air flow leaving the fan, in this case by varying the speed of rotation thereof.
- a second switch 6 makes it possible to regulate the heating of the air.
- a third switch 7 can serve for example as a general switch or can fulfill another additional function.
- the barrel 12 can perform a rotational movement with respect to an axis and can be indexed by any suitable means to assume stable positions, at least from a left lateral position to a right lateral position, via an anterior arrangement and where appropriate with intermediate arrangements (for example at 45 degrees) between on the one hand the left lateral position and the anterior position and on the other hand said anterior position and the right lateral position. It is also possible to design the barrel so that it can also affect positions exceeding (rearward) the left lateral position and the right lateral position.
- Figures 3 to 5 show, by way of example, three possible switch positions: front (Fig. 3), 45 ° from normal to the front face (Fig. 4) and 90 ° from normal to the front (Fig. 5).
- each switch 5, 6 and 7 is carried by an individual barrel 12, 12 'and 12' '.
- Each barrel can rotate on an axis common to the different barrels.
- the axis relative to which the rotation of the barrel (s) takes place may be a material axis or an imaginary axis. In the latter case, other material means such as guides holding the barrels but allowing rotation can be provided.
