Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for drying the skin of the portable and blowing type which sends a flow of hot air towards the skin and it relates more particularly to such an device intended to dry the skin of a baby.
- blowers are generally used for drying the hair and they mainly comprise a housing provided with a handle and equipped with means for air circulation between an inlet grille in the housing and an outlet orifice thereof, as well as means for heating the supply air.
- the air circulation means consist of a fan driven by an electric motor which sends a flow of air through an electric heating element, in the direction of the outlet orifice.
- the device may include several accessories removably mounted to the air outlet orifice.
- Document US 5,394,620 describes such an apparatus which is used for drying the human body, several removable accessories being provided for this purpose.
- the problem with this device is that, while being provided with means for adjusting the air speed and the temperature and with various accessories, it does not offer good safety in use for drying the skin of a baby, the accessories provided may irritate the baby's skin, or even cause burns on it.
- an uninformed user could be disconcerted by the multitude of combinations offered by the device and by the use of an accessory and control means not suitable for drying the skin of a baby.
- Document US Pat. No. 4,848,007 also discloses a diffuser fixed to the air outlet end of a hair dryer, a diffuser which has a body that flares outward and whose front surface is provided with several orifices. air outlet from the device.
- the smaller diameter side surface of the diffuser has elongated holes allowing additional suction of fresh air when the appliance is in working order and to allow the exit of hot air when the appliance is stopped.
- this device is not suitable for drying the skin, the front part of this diffuser having protrusions or sharp angles which could strike the skin during untimely contact, which is particularly harmful for the drying of sensitive skin like that of a baby.
- Document WO99 / 39609 describes a hair dryer provided with an accessory for shaping the hair while being mounted at the air outlet end of the appliance, said accessory comprising a convex wall covered with velvet or brush bristles, provided with air outlet holes, and a plurality of fingers distributed around its periphery. Long enough fingers are provided to grip the hair before it is combed by the convex brush-like surface.
- Such a device fitted with a hair shaping accessory cannot be used to dry the skin, since its pointed fingers can strike the skin, or even rub on the skin and cause irritation, redness, etc.
- such fingers made of the same material as the body of the diffuser, generally a hard plastic material, heat up during operation and can burn the skin.
- the diffuser is made of a thin sheet of flexible transparent plastic material in the form of a funnel.
- the diffuser has a concave external wall, of annular shape, provided with air outlet openings and fixed in its center to a rigid disc also comprising air outlet openings.
- the rigid central disc maintains the shape of the diffuser when it is deployed by the air blown by the device, the end of the flexible external wall of the diffuser being fixed by an elastic attachment to this disc.
- this diffuser is not suitable for drying the skin of a baby because, when the device blows a flow of air, the wall annular of the diffuser can remain closed, not deployed, and the rigid central disc could then strike, or even burn the baby's skin during accidental contact with the latter.
- a baby's skin is usually dried with a terry towel or disposable wipes.
- This type of drying can be subject to the development of germs or bacteria on the baby's sensitive skin, or even produce irritation when in contact with an unsuitable wipe. In addition, it can be accompanied by an unpleasant feeling of cold, which makes drying even more unbearable for the baby.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy at least in part the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose a device for drying the skin of a baby which is of safe use and operation, capable of protecting against injury or burns sensitive skin, such as a baby's skin.
- Another object of the present invention is an apparatus for drying the skin of a baby which is effective during its operation even at a distance from the skin and which can, at the same time, ensure good protection of the skin of the baby during accidental contact of the blower part of the device with it.
- Another object of the present invention is an apparatus for drying the skin of a baby which is efficient, reliable in operation and easy to industrialize at a lower manufacturing cost.
- a device for drying the skin of a baby comprising a housing containing means for circulating a flow of hot air between an inlet end and an outlet end of said housing, a handle, as well as '' a bell-shaped air diffuser arranged at the outlet end, said diffuser comprising at least one air outlet opening on its front surface, because the front surface of said diffuser has a bi-material end part made from a first support material covered with at least a second material forming an outer layer.
- bell-shaped air diffuser an air circulation device of circular section flaring towards the outside, device which receives, at its inlet end, the air blown by the apparatus for direct it towards the opposite end or outlet with a decrease in the intensity of the air flow received from the device.
- Such diffusers generally have a shape of the sprinkler knob with a closed contour and provided with a plurality of orifices at its outlet end, or even with a flared tube open at the end of the air outlet.
- Such a diffuser can be removably mounted relative to the device or it can be fixed permanently to the air outlet end of the latter.
- front surface of the diffuser is understood to mean the surface seen by an observer who holds the diffuser oriented with the longitudinal axis in the direction of gaze, and who faces the air outlet end of the diffuser.
- the end part of this front surface is then the part which is located closest to the observer.
- This end part may be a flat or left surface, preferably convex, the front part of the diffuser then comprising an annular air outlet orifice surrounding this end part, or even several air outlet orifices distributed over the end part and / or around the latter.
- These air outlet orifices located on the front part of the diffuser ensure the evacuation of the blown air when the end part is placed on the skin, thus avoiding total obstruction of these orifices by the skin.
- a part which is composed of at least two different materials superimposed In particular a first base material which is of the same type, or even the same, as that of the diffuser body and at least a second which has soft touch properties (for example because it has a Shore hardness less than that of the first material) or damping properties, or even thermal effusivity different (preferably lower) than that of the base material.
- a first base material which is of the same type, or even the same, as that of the diffuser body and at least a second which has soft touch properties (for example because it has a Shore hardness less than that of the first material) or damping properties, or even thermal effusivity different (preferably lower) than that of the base material.
- Such a combination of two different superimposed materials gives the end part of the diffuser both good mechanical strength and at least one additional property which can be: better protection in contact with the hot body of the diffuser and / or a pleasant sensation to the touch and / or attenuation of the impact when the diffuser contacts the skin.
- Such a bi-material end part can be produced by a bi-material injection technique with a support for the body of the diffuser, or by thermoforming with the latter, by bonding or welding to the body of the diffuser, or by a mechanical fixing between two plates on the diffuser body, etc.
- a diffuser used with a device to dry a baby's skin must meet very strict safety requirements because, since a baby's skin is extremely sensitive, it is prone to irritation or redness on contact and especially to a rise in temperature above a well established threshold which must be less than 40 ° C.
- a device designed to dry the skin of a baby must not only send a stream of air of low intensity and low temperature, but also protect the skin in case of accidental contact of the latter with the blowing part of the device.
- the diffuser of the invention was thus designed to avoid any risk during remote drying as well as during a possible contact with the baby's skin, the area of softer material or of thermal effusivity lower than that of the material of support being likely to be brought into contact with the skin first.
- said end portion is located in the center of said front surface.
- the end part is the part of the diffuser of the skin drying apparatus intended to come into contact with the skin first.
- this end surface should be central in circular shape or peripheral in annular shape in order to ensure good protection on contact.
- the arrangement in the center is however chosen because this gives a good orientation of the diffuser relative to the skin for a surface of contact of relatively small dimensions, as well as better visibility when moving parallel to the skin.
- the diffuser has a contour composed of curved shapes, the front surface of the diffuser having a plurality of air outlet orifices.
- a diffuser in the form of a flared conical tube comprising in its transverse front face a prominence of bi-material in the center.
- a closed contour diffuser is preferred, composed of a plurality of curved shapes and provided with air outlet orifices on its front surface and, preferably, also on the end part of the latter. Indeed, such a diffuser with curved shapes cannot strike the skin and therefore provides better protection in contact with the latter and this from all possible angles of impact.
- the outer layer of said end portion is a material of Shore hardness and thermal effusivity lower than that of the body of the diffuser.
- Thermal effusiveness characterizes the sensation of cold or hot felt on contact with different objects located at the same temperature, a sensation due to the different values of the contact temperature of each object.
- Such an outer layer is therefore provided to ensure both a contact surface pleasant to the touch and thermal protection when it comes into contact with the baby's skin.
- said outer layer comprises a damping cushion.
- Such an outer layer also manages to attenuate the effect of the impact with the end part of the diffuser.
- the external part of such a cushion is made of a fabric with hypoallergenic properties, for example lycra.
- the edge of said outer layer is sandwiched on its edge between an internal support of said diffuser and a peripheral outer cap of the diffuser body.
- Such a solution firstly ensures good peripheral fixation of said external layer, which may for example be a layer of fabric, a layer which thus conforms well to the outline of its fixing support.
- said external layer which may for example be a layer of fabric, a layer which thus conforms well to the outline of its fixing support.
- such a solution provides an axial leveling of the front surface of the outer cap and that of the end part passing through a central opening of said cap. This allows continuity of the front surface of the diffuser, which therefore does not have any visible edges.
- said diffuser has additional air outlet orifices which are offset relative to said end portion of the front surface.
- Such orifices can be provided on the surface of the diffuser, being offset relative to the end part of the front surface, that is to say having at least part of their orifices outside and behind (we comprises towards the housing) of the tangent plane passing through the center of said end portion.
- This produces additional air outlets allowing the evacuation of the air contained in the diffuser in case the air outlets provided on the end part are completely or partly obstructed by the baby's skin. This therefore provides security against burns due to overheating of the air sent by the device inside the diffuser.
- These additional orifices could, in addition, constitute additional air calls which ensure better mixing of the air inside the diffuser and a drop in the temperature of the air leaving the diffuser.
- said end part of the front surface extends on the sides by a curved surface of larger transverse diameter provided with additional air outlet orifices distributed over its periphery.
- This curved surface is advantageously located in a distant plane and behind the plane tangent to the front surface passing through its center, the longitudinal section of this surface can be in an arc of a small radius, for example between 50 and 70 mm.
- the additional air outlet orifices on such a curved surface located in the extension of the front surface which is therefore free of edges or sharp parts, because this thus increases the number of outlet orifices on the part front to obtain an even more diffuse air outlet flow, avoiding pressure build-up and hot spots inside the diffuser.
- said additional air outlet orifices direct the blown air in a direction diverging from that of the air flow blown by the device.
- Such an orientation ensures a tangential drying of the skin at the same time as the frontal drying carried out by the air leaving through the openings of the front surface of the diffuser, which increases the surface swept by the air flow leaving the device. and thus the efficiency of the device.
- the additional air outlet orifices then have a shape of hopper with inclined walls which orient the air flow in a direction inclined with respect to that of the longitudinal axis of the device.
- said additional air outlet orifices have sections of larger dimensions than the section of the air outlet orifices belonging to the end part, the total surface area of the outlet sections of said additional orifices being equal to or greater than that of the air outlet ports of the end part.
- the apparatus of the invention comprises an electric heating element with a power equal to or less than 300W, preferably equal to 200W.
- the air flow blown by the device is around 30 m 3 / h.
- the method for drying the skin of a baby uses a skin drying device according to the invention which is moved parallel to the skin of the baby, at a distance of about 5 cm from the latter. It has been observed during tests carried out in the laboratory that the temperature measured at a distance of approximately 5 cm from the skin is close to or less than 40 ° C. This ensures efficient drying, while using a low air flow rate, to thus obtain a gentle drying, at a temperature which is not dangerous for the baby.
- the invention will be better understood from the study of the embodiments taken without any limitation being implied and illustrated in the appended figures in which:
- FIG. 1a is a side view of the apparatus of the invention.
- - Figure 1b is a front view of the apparatus of the invention
- - Figure 2a is a front view of a diffuser used with the apparatus of the invention
- Figure 2b is an axial sectional view along the plane A-A of the diffuser of Figure 2a.
- the skin drying apparatus produced in accordance with the invention comprises a housing 1 having a tubular part 3 inside which are arranged a fan actuated in rotation by an electric motor ensuring air circulation between an air inlet 4 located at the rear of the housing 1 and an air outlet 5 located at the opposite end and means for heating the air flow circulating inside the device.
- the housing 1 also includes a handle 2 arranged in the extension of the tubular part 3 so as to form an angle of less than 90 ° with the latter and supporting a cable 8 for supplying electrical energy.
- the handle 2 can be mounted fixed or articulated, in order to be able to be folded, relative to the tubular part 3.
- the starting and stopping of the device is done by actuating a switch 7 placed on the internal part of the handle 2, the switch 7 ensuring the functioning of the device according to a pre-established optimum regime, which gives more security in particular for the drying of very sensitive skin like that of a baby.
- the skin drying apparatus also comprises a diffuser 10 making it possible to modify the shape of the section of the orifice of the air outlet end 5 and / or the intensity of the air flow blown by the apparatus.
- the diffuser 10 can be removably mounted at the air outlet end 5 of the housing 1, for example by a bayonet fixing, by a forced assembly, etc. However, for security reasons, a fixed, non-removable mounting of the diffuser relative to the device is preferred.
- the diffuser 10 comprises a body 11 having a bell shape and having a front surface 14 at its air outlet end.
- the body 11 is hollow with a circular section concentric to the longitudinal axis of the tubular part 3 or to the direction of the air flow blown by the device, circular section flaring between a fixing part 9 at the end of air outlet 5 of the device and an end portion 13 located at the opposite end.
- the end portion 13 is assembled with a cap 20 of convex shape provided with an opening 21 in its center.
- the opening 21 may have a circular, polygonal shape or any other shape with a closed contour.
- An end portion 15 is a part arranged on the internal face of the cap 20 and emerges through the opening 21 of the latter so that their respective edges are located axially at the same level.
- the end portion 15 preferably has a convex shape which follows the profile of the cap 20 and it has a plurality of air outlet openings 12 uniformly distributed over its surface.
- the diffuser 10 thus has a curved shape on its part leaving the device and it is therefore free from fingers or any other pointed protuberance which could prove to be aggressive during contact with the skin.
- the diffuser can advantageously be made in. a plastic material, for example polypropylene, by an injection technique.
- the end part 15 has a cross-section of a large radius, for example between 100 mm and 140 mm and the periphery formed by the cap 20 also has a section in an arc of a much shorter radius, in particular between 50 and 70 mm.
- the junction of the two parts is done in a tangency plane to avoid any roughness or protruding part.
- Such a diffuser produced by several parts thus assembled therefore has a continuous and smooth front surface.
- the end part 15 is made of bi-material, that is to say based on at least two different materials superposed, in particular in a first more rigid material which forms a support for at least a second material having a thermal effusivity lower than the first, or a more flexible material or having a contact surface pleasant to the touch, this second material being capable of coming first into contact with the skin.
- the first rigid material is represented by the support 18 made for example of polypropylene
- the second material, more flexible is represented by the outer layer 17.
- the support 18 has on its surface perforations communicating with the air outlet openings 12 of the outer layer 17.
- the outer layer 17 has a peripheral edge 24 which is sandwiched for attachment to the body 11 of the diffuser 10, between the support 18 and an edge internal of the cap 20 covering it.
- the three parts are then made integral by a non-removable assembly process, such as a peripheral weld or by peripheral riveting, or by gluing, etc.
- the cap sub-assembly 23 thus obtained is then fixed, preferably in a non-removable manner, to the end portion 13 of the body 11 of the diffuser 10.
- the outer layer 17 may consist of a layer of fabric (in particular a hypoallergenic fabric), of leather, of flocking material, of flexible plastic (polyolefin thermoplastic, polyvinyl chloride), or else it may have a multilayer structure.
- the outer layer 17 is a multilayer pad composed of a core or core in a layer of foam, for example a polyethylene foam or a polyurethane foam, wrapped in two upper and lower layers , in particular a layer of lycra and a layer of satin, the pad being sealed by welding on its periphery.
- a pad is then sandwiched between the support 18 and the cap 20 as previously described, with the layer of lycra, which has good hypoallergenic properties, oriented towards the outside of the diffuser, capable of coming first into contact with the skin to provide pleasant contact with it.
- This pad has perforations evenly distributed over its surface.
- the thickness of the pad forming the outer layer 17 is approximately 3 mm and that of its support 18 is 2 mm.
- the cap 20 has additional air outlet orifices 22 arranged around its periphery.
- These additional orifices 22 have sufficiently large dimensions to allow the flow of air blown by the device to exit in the event of total or partial obstruction of the air outlet openings 12 of the end portion 15.
- the internal walls of the additional orifices 22 are provided with inclined fins which direct the flow of air exiting through these orifices in a direction divergent from that of the air flow blown by the device oriented, itself, along the longitudinal axis of the tubular part 3.
- the air flow exiting through the additional orifices 22 forms an angle between 45 ° and 75 ° with the longitudinal axis of the device.
- the air blown by the device leaves the diffuser 10 in two directions: a first which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the device and a second direction which diverges from the latter, which makes it possible to sweep a larger area of skin, while using a gentle air flow, with a significant gain in efficiency of the device.
- the additional air outlet orifices 22 are formed on the periphery of the end part 15 which itself has the air outlet openings 12 on its surface. This makes it possible to obtain in the center an end portion 15 of smaller curvature which adapts better to the surface of the skin and at the periphery a more pronounced curvature in order to allow the additional orifices 22 for air outlet from be sufficiently set back from the surface of the skin. It was found that this condition was met for a ratio between the radius of curvature of the central part or end 15 and that of the cap 20 of 2: 1, for a diffuser having a diameter of about 100mm.
- the opening 21 made in the cap 20 has a star shape revealing an end part 15 of the same shape, part end 15 having outlet orifices 12 over its entire surface.
- the additional air outlet orifices 22 are arranged around the end part 15, on the peripheral edge of the cap 20 and have a triangular shape, as viewed from the front, the top of each triangle being inserted between two arms adjacent to the star. This allows the blowing front surface of the diffuser to be filled with perforations as much as possible, thereby obtaining a diffuse air flow of low intensity and preventing the appearance of possible hot spots inside the diffuser.
- the diffuser has a flared tubular shape open at its end part, an end part, protruding with respect to the end part of the diffuser, being then provided in the center of the diffuser being supported by ribs peripherals inside the latter.
- This end portion has a flat or convex front surface, without having a sharp edge or roughness, and having a surface large enough to make surface contact with the skin.
- Such an end portion is made of bi-material, by covering the support material (made of the same material as the body of the diffuser, for example polypropylene) with a layer of textile material or of a flocking material. , with leather, or with a material of the thermoplastic polyolefin type, etc.
