Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schutzkamm für einen Haarschneider, welcher eine Mehrzahl von Kammzähnen aufweist.The invention relates to a protective comb for a hair trimmer, which has a plurality of comb teeth.

Es sind bereits Schutzkämme in unterschiedlichen Ausführungen bekannt geworden, welche in Haarschneidegeräten, wie beispielsweise Langhaarschneidern, Barttrimmern und dgl., Verwendung finden. Derartige Schutzkämme für Haarschneidegeräte werden zumeist an einem Ende des Haarschneidegerätes in der Nähe der Schneidmesser angebracht, wobei der Schutzkamm dazu dient die Haare des Anwenders auf eine gleiche Länge zu kürzen. Dabei gewährleistet der Schutzkamm die Einhaltung eines gleichbleibenden Abstands zwischen den Schneidmessern und der Oberfläche, auf welcher die Haare abgeschnitten werden. Die meisten Schutzkämme sind derart ausgebildet, dass sie die Haare lediglich auf eine bestimmte voreingestellte und unveränderbare Haarlänge abschneiden, wobei unterschiedliche Schutzkämme verwendet werden müssen, wenn unterschiedliche Haarlängen erreicht werden sollen. Es sind jedoch auch bereits höhenverstellbare Schutzkämme bekannt geworden, mit welchen der Abstand zwischen den Schneidmessern und der Hautoberfläche verändert werden kann, sodass der Haarschneider auf verschiedene Schnittlängen eingestellt werden kann. In diesem Zusammenhang wird auf die EP 0 928 670 A1 verwiesen, welche einen Schutzkamm offenbart, der aus einem Basisteil besteht, der lösbar mit dem Haarschneider verbindbar ist, sowie aus einem auf den Basisteil aufsteckbaren Kammteil.There are already known protective combs in various designs, which find use in hair clippers, such as long-hair trimmers, trimmers and the like .. Such protective combs for hair trimmers are usually attached to one end of the hair trimmer in the vicinity of the cutting blade, the protective comb serves to shorten the hair of the user to an equal length. In this case, the protective comb ensures compliance with a constant distance between the cutting blades and the surface on which the hair is cut off. Most protective combs are designed so that they cut the hair only to a certain preset and unchangeable hair length, with different protective combs must be used when different hair lengths are to be achieved. However, there are already known height-adjustable protective combs, with which the distance between the cutting blades and the skin surface can be changed, so that the hair trimmer can be adjusted to different cutting lengths. In this context, on the EP 0 928 670 A1 referenced, which discloses a protective comb, which consists of a base member which is detachably connectable to the hair trimmer, as well as from a clippable on the base part comb part.

Im Allgemeinen weisen Schutzkämme für Haarschneider eine Mehrzahl von Kammzähnen auf, deren Längserstreckung quer zur Oszillationsrichtung der Schneidmesser verläuft. Die Kammzähne sind derart ausgebildet, dass sie auf der Hautoberfläche aufliegen und auf ihr entlang gleiten können, wobei die zu schneidenden Haare aufgerichtet und in Richtung zu den Schneidmessern des Haarschneiders geführt werden. An den Schutzkamm werden je nach Anwendungsfall unterschiedliche Anforderungen gestellt. So muss beispielsweise ein Schutzkamm für einen Barttrimmer in Anpassung an die üblicherweise relativ kurzen Schnittlängen von wenigen Millimetern derart ausgebildet sein, dass er möglichst nahe an den Schneidmessern angeordnet werden kann, wobei die Kammzähne möglichst dünn ausgeführt werden sollten. Ein Schutzkamm für einen Langhaarschneider, mit welchem beispielsweise das Haupthaar geschnitten werden kann, muss hingegen ganz anderen Anforderungen gerecht werden und anders ausgebildet sein. Beim Schneiden der Haupthaare ist beispielsweise das Problem zu berücksichtigen, dass die gerade Oberfläche der Kammzähne mit der gekrümmten Oberfläche des Kopfes der betreffenden Person in Berührung kommt, sodass der Haarschneider dazu tendiert um den Berührungspunkt zu kippen. Dies führt zu einer Veränderung des Abstandes zwischen der Kopfoberfläche und den Schneidzähnen des Haarschneiders, sodass die Einhaltung einer gleichbleibenden Schnittlänge erschwert wird. Weiters muss ein Schutzkamm für einen Langhaarschneider in der Lage sein auch entsprechend lange Haare aufzurichten und dem Schneidelement zuzuführen und den relativ großen Widerstand überwinden, welcher dem vorderen Bereich des Schutzkamms beim Durchkämmen von langem und/oder dichtem Haar entgegengesetzt wird. Hierzu ist es in der Regel erforderlich den Kammzähnen des Schutzkamms eine besonders angepasste Form zu geben und die Kammzähne robuster auszuführen.In general, protective combs for hair trimmers have a plurality of comb teeth whose longitudinal extent extends transversely to the oscillation direction of the cutting blades. The comb teeth are formed so that they can rest on the skin surface and slide along it, with the hairs to be cut erect and guided in the direction of the cutting blades of the hair trimmer. Depending on the application, different requirements are placed on the protective comb. For example, a protective comb for a beard trimmer must conform to the usual be relatively short cutting lengths of a few millimeters formed such that it can be arranged as close to the cutting blades, the comb teeth should be made as thin as possible. A protective comb for a long-hair trimmer, with which, for example, the main hair can be cut, however, must meet quite different requirements and be designed differently. When cutting the main hairs, for example, there is a problem that the straight surface of the comb teeth comes into contact with the curved surface of the person's head, so that the hair trimmer tends to tilt around the contact point. This leads to a change in the distance between the head surface and the cutting teeth of the hair trimmer, so that the maintenance of a consistent cutting length is difficult. Furthermore, a protective comb for a trimmer must also be able to erect and feed correspondingly long hairs to the cutting element and overcome the relatively large resistance which is opposed to the front region of the protective comb when combing long and / or dense hair. For this purpose, it is usually necessary to give the comb teeth of the protective comb a specially adapted shape and perform the comb teeth robust.

Die vorliegende Erfindung zielt nun darauf ab, einen universell einsetzbaren Schutzkamm für einen Haarschneider zu schaffen, welcher sowohl für einen Barttrimmer, als auch für einen Langhaarschneider eingesetzt werden kann und den oben angeführten unterschiedlichen Anforderungen gerecht wird. Der Haarachneider, welcher mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Schutzkamm versehen ist, soll somit sowohl als Barttrimmer, als auch als Langhaarschneider eingesetzt werden können, sodass ein universelles Gerät geschaffen wird.The present invention now aims to provide a universally applicable protective comb for a hair trimmer, which can be used for both a beard trimmer, as well as for a long-hair trimmer and the above-mentioned different requirements. The hair trimmer, which is provided with the protective comb according to the invention, should thus be used both as a beard trimmer, as well as a long-hair trimmer, so that a universal device is created.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht die Erfindung im Wesentlichen darin, dass der Schutzkamm aus einem ersten, eine Mehrzahl von Kammzähnen aufweisenden Kamm besteht, mit welchem ein zweiter, die Kammzähne des ersten Kamms überdeckender Kamm lösbar verbunden ist, wobei der zweite Kamm relativ zum ersten Kamm um eine im Wesentlichen quer zur Längserstreckung der Kammzähne verlaufende Achse schwenkbar angeordnet ist. Dadurch, dass nun mit einem ersten Kamm ein weiterer Kamm lösbar verbunden ist, dessen Kammzähne die Zähne des ersten Kamms überdecken, können je nach Bedarf entweder der erste Kamm alleine oder beide Kämme in Kombination verwendet werden. Dabei wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen die einzelnen Kämme in Anpassung an unterschiedliche Anwendungsfälle auszubilden und es kann beispielsweise der erste Kamm als Barttrimmerkamm ausgebildet sein und der zweite Kamm in Kombination mit dem ersten Kamm einen Langhaarschneiderkamm ergeben. Zur Anpassung an die unterschiedlichen Anforderungen der einzelnen verwendungsarten kann der als Barttrimmerkamm ausgebildete erste Kamm hierbei mit dünneren Schneidzähnen ausgebildet sein und der zweite Kamm entsprechend dickere Kammzähne aufweisen. Bevorzugt sind die Kammzähne des zweiten Kamm an ihrem freien Ende abgewinkelt ausgebildet, wodurch eine bessere Führung von besonders langen Haaren erreicht wird und gleichzeitig das Verletzungsrisiko beim Durchkämmen der Haare minimiert wird. Dadurch, dass der zweite Kamm mit dem ersten Kamm lösbar verbunden ist wird die Handhabung des Schutzkamms wesentlich erleichtert und es kann in einfacher Art und Weise der zweite Kamm auf den ersten Kamm aufgesetzt oder von ihm gelöst werden, sodass ein schnelles Wechseln der Betriebsarten zwischen der Verwendung als Barttrimmer und als Langhaarschneider gelingt. Die lösbare Verbindung des zweiten Kamms mit dem ersten Kamm kann bevorzugt mit Hilfe einer Rastverbindung erfolgen.To achieve this object, the invention essentially consists in that the protective comb consists of a first, a plurality of comb teeth having comb, with which a second comb combing the comb teeth of the first comb is detachably connected, wherein the second comb is pivotally mounted relative to the first comb about an axis substantially transverse to the longitudinal extent of the comb teeth. Characterized in that now with a first comb another comb is detachably connected, the comb teeth cover the teeth of the first comb, either the first comb alone or both combs can be used in combination as needed. The possibility is created to form the individual combs in adaptation to different applications and it may, for example, the first comb be formed as a beard trimmer comb and the second comb in combination with the first comb a Langhaarschneiderkamm. In order to adapt to the different requirements of the individual types of use, the first comb formed as a beard trimmer comb may in this case be formed with thinner cutting teeth and the second comb may have correspondingly thicker comb teeth. Preferably, the comb teeth of the second comb are formed angled at its free end, whereby a better management of particularly long hair is achieved and at the same time the risk of injury when combing the hair is minimized. The fact that the second comb is releasably connected to the first comb, the handling of the protective comb is much easier and it can be easily placed on the first comb or detached from the second comb, so that a quick change of modes between the Use as a beard trimmer and as a long-hair trimmer succeed. The detachable connection of the second comb with the first comb can preferably be effected by means of a latching connection.

Um nun die Verwendung beider miteinander verbundenen Kämme mit einem Langhaarschneider zu erleichtern ist der zweite Kamm relativ zum ersten Kamm um eine im Wesentlichen quer zur Längserstreckung der Kammzähne verlaufende Achse schwenkbar angeordnet. Dadurch ergibt sich eine Ausbildung, bei welcher der zweite Kamm in Anpassung an die Kontur der Hautoberfläche, über welche der Schutzkamm gleitet, verschwenkt werden kann, sodass die Bedienung des Haarschneiders erleichtert und ein besonders schonender Haarschnitt ermöglicht wird. Des weiteren wird durch die schwenkbare Anordnung des zweiten Kamms eine konstante Schnitthöhe sichergestellt.In order to facilitate the use of both interconnected combs with a long-hair trimmer, the second comb is pivotally mounted relative to the first comb about an axis extending essentially transversely to the longitudinal extent of the comb teeth. This results in an embodiment in which the second comb in adaptation to the contour of the skin surface, over which the protective comb slides, can be pivoted so that the operation of the hair trimmer easier and a particularly gentle haircut is made possible. Furthermore, a constant cutting height is ensured by the pivotable arrangement of the second comb.

Um einen vorbestimmten Winkel zwischen den relativ zueinander verschwenkbaren Kämmen einzustellen und nach einer entsprechenden Auslenkung die automatische Rückstellung des zweiten Kamms zu ermöglichen ist die Ausbildung bevorzugt derart weitergebildet, dass zwischen erstem Kamm und zweitem Kamm ein Federelement angeordnet ist.In order to set a predetermined angle between the combs that can be pivoted relative to one another and to enable the automatic recovery of the second comb after a corresponding deflection, the design is preferably developed in such a way that in that a spring element is arranged between the first comb and the second comb.

Zur Optimierung der Konturanpassung mit Hilfe des verschwenkbaren zweiten Kamms ist die Positionierung der entsprechenden Schwenkachse von Bedeutung. Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausbildung ergibt sich dabei dadurch, dass die Drehachse für die Verschwenkung des zweiten Kamms dem freien Ende der Kammzähne des ersten Kamms benachbart angeordnet ist.To optimize the contour adjustment by means of the pivotable second comb, the positioning of the corresponding pivot axis is important. A particularly preferred embodiment results from the fact that the axis of rotation is arranged adjacent to the free end of the comb teeth of the first comb for the pivoting of the second comb.

Dadurch wird ein ausreichend großer Schwenkwinkel für die Verschwenkung des zweiten Kammes relativ zum ersten Kamm freigegeben.As a result, a sufficiently large pivot angle for the pivoting of the second comb relative to the first comb is released.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausbildung ist der zweiter Kamm gemeinsam mit dem ersten Kamm relativ zu den Schneidmessern des Haarschneiders höhenverstellbar gelagert. Die Höhenverstellung der Kämme kann somit, dadurch dass diese erfindungsgemäß lösbar miteinander verbunden sind, gemeinsam erfolgen, sodass lediglich eine einzige Höhenverstelleinrichtung vorgesehen sein muss. Die Höhenverstellung der Kämme muss derart erfolgen, dass bei Verwendung des Haarschneiders als Barttrimmer auch Schnitthöhen von nur 1 mm möglich sind. Gleichzeitig müssen jedoch auch Schnittlängen von mehreren Zentimetern einstellbar sein, um die Verwendung als Haarschneider zu ermöglichen.According to a further preferred embodiment, the second comb is mounted vertically adjustable together with the first comb relative to the cutting blades of the hair trimmer. The height adjustment of the combs can thus, by virtue of the fact that they are detachably connected to each other in accordance with the invention, take place together, so that only a single height adjustment device has to be provided. The height adjustment of the combs must be done in such a way that when using the hair trimmer as beard trimmer and cutting heights of only 1 mm are possible. At the same time, however, cut lengths of several centimeters must be adjustable to allow use as a hair trimmer.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. In dieser zeigt Fig.1 eine perspektivische Ansicht des ersten Kamms, Fig.2 eine perspektivische Ansicht des zweiten Kamms, Fig.3 eine Seitenansicht der beiden miteinander verbundenen Kämme, Fig.4 eine Ansicht gemäß dem Pfeil IV der Fig.3 und Fig.5 einen Schnitt nach der Linie V-V der Fig.4.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawing. 1 shows a perspective view of the first comb, FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the second comb, FIG. 3 shows a side view of the two interconnected combs, FIG. 4 shows a view according to the arrow IV of FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 is a section along the line VV of Figure 4.

In Fig.1 ist der erste Kamm mit 1 bezeichnet und weist eine Mehrzahl von Kammzähnen 2 auf. Der erste Kamm 1 kann auf einen nicht näher dargestellten Haarschneider aufgesteckt werden, wobei die entsprechenden Führungen mit 3 bezeichnet sind. Die Führungen 3 sind derart ausgebildet, dass eine Höhenverstellung des Kamms 1 in Richtung der Längserstreckung der Führungen 3 erfolgen kann. Die beiden außenliegenden Kammzähne 2 weisen einwärtsragende Zapfen 4 für die Anlenkung des zweiten Kamms 5 auf, welcher in Fig.2 dargestellt ist. Der zweite Kamm 5 weist ebenfalls eine Mehrzahl von Kammzähnen 6 auf, deren freies Ende abgewinkelt ausgebildet ist und mit in Richtung zum Schneidmesser des Haarschneiders vorspringenden Fortsätzen versehen ist. An den außenliegenden Kammzähnen 6 sind Lager 7 vorgesehen, in welche die zapfen 4 des ersten Kamms 1 einrasten können. Den Lager 7 benachbart ist jeweils ein Freigabeknopf 8 angeordnet, wobei durch gleichzeitiges Betätigen der beiden Knöpfe 8 die außenliegenden Kammzähne 6 leicht zueinander gebogen werden, sodass das Einführen und die Freigabe der Zapfen 4 erleichtert wird.In FIG. 1, the first comb is denoted by 1 and has a plurality of comb teeth 2. The first comb 1 can be attached to a hair clipper, not shown, the corresponding guides being designated 3. The guides 3 are designed such that a height adjustment of the comb 1 in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the guides 3 can be carried out. The two outer comb teeth 2 have inwardly projecting pins 4 for the articulation of the second comb 5, which is shown in Fig.2. The second comb 5 also has a plurality of comb teeth 6, whose free end is angled and provided with projecting in the direction of the cutting blade of the hair trimmer extensions. At the outer comb teeth 6 bearings 7 are provided, in which the pins 4 of the first comb 1 can engage. The bearing 7 adjacent a release button 8 is arranged in each case, wherein by simultaneously pressing the two buttons 8, the outer comb teeth 6 are slightly bent to each other, so that the insertion and release of the pin 4 is facilitated.

In Fig.3 ist nun der aus dem ersten Kamm 1 und dem zweiten Kamm 5 zusammengesetzte Schutzkamm ersichtlich, wobei eine Verschwenkung des zweiten Kamms 5 relativ zum ersten Kamm 1 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles 10 erfolgen kann. In der Ansicht gemäß Fig.4 ist die entsprechende Schwenkachse mit 11 bezeichnet. Weiters sind zwei Federelemente 9 bezeichnet, welche zwischen dem ersten Kamm 1 und dem zweiten Kamm 5 angeordnet sind und jeweils auf den außenliegenden Kammzähnen 2 bzw. 6 aufliegen. Die Federelemente 9 erlauben eine federnde Verschwenkung des zweiten Kamms 5 relativ zum ersten Kamm 1.
In der Schnittansicht gemäß Fig.5 sind gleiche Teile wiederum mit den selben Bezugszeichen versehen und es ist ersichtlich, dass der in der Schnittansicht dargestellte Kammzahn 6 des zweiten Kamms 5 den Kammzahn 2 des ersten Kamms 1 überdeckt. Dies ist, wie aus Fig.4 ersichtlich, bei allen Kammzähnen 2 bzw. 6 der Fall.3, the protective comb composed of the first comb 1 and the second comb 5 can now be seen, wherein a pivoting of the second comb 5 relative to the first comb 1 in the direction of the double arrow 10 can take place. In the view according to Figure 4, the corresponding pivot axis is denoted by 11. Furthermore, two spring elements 9 are designated, which are arranged between the first comb 1 and the second comb 5 and each rest on the outer comb teeth 2 and 6 respectively. The spring elements 9 allow a resilient pivoting of the second comb 5 relative to the first comb first
In the sectional view according to FIG. 5, the same parts are again provided with the same reference numerals and it can be seen that the comb tooth 6 of the second comb 5 shown in the sectional view covers the comb tooth 2 of the first comb 1. This is, as shown in Figure 4, in all comb teeth 2 and 6 of the case.

Insgesamt ist der erfindungsgemäße Schutzkamm somit universal einsetzbar, wobei ohne großen Aufwand durch einfaches Anstecken bzw. Abnehmen des zweiten Kamms ein Barttrimmer in einen Langhaarschneider bzw. umgekehrt transformiert werden kann.Overall, the protective comb according to the invention is thus universally applicable, with no great effort by simply plugging or removing the second comb a beard trimmer can be transformed into a long-hair trimmer or vice versa.
