Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an epilator, and more particularly to a monolithic epilator, that is to say an epilator whose epilation element is made of a single block.
  • the first category is represented by spring epilators where a generally curved coil spring grasps the bristles in the intervals between the turns and removes hair from the skin as the gaps between these turns close and compress. This effect is obtained by bending the spring in different ways, and this has a closed side (convergent side) and an open side (diverging side).
  • Depilatory devices based on this principle are for example disclosed in the document FR-A-2627362 , showing different ways of bending a spring to obtain a compression effect and thus hair removal on the skin.
  • a converging zone is created in which the turns are compressed against each other and a divergent zone where a space is created between the turns.
  • the second category of depilatory apparatus consists of epilators based on a plurality of adjacent disks as in the document EP-A-0 383 719 , which shows an epilation device comprising an epilator element consisting of adjacent disks separated by elements causing the tilting of these disks to transform them into hair removal tweezers.
  • Such epilator element is constituted by a large number of parts which makes it difficult to dismantle for a complete cleaning. See in this regard in particular Figures 3, 4 and 5 of the document EP-A-0 383 719 .
  • the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art, and in particular to provide an epilation device comprising a monolithic epilator element where the plurality of adjacent disks and their interconnections or joints are made in one piece.
  • This configuration makes it possible to make a disposable epilation element when it becomes difficult to clean. The element can then be replaced several times a year to avoid laborious cleaning from a certain level of fouling.
  • a second objective pursued by the invention is to provide a simple hair removal device allowing manufacture at a relatively low cost.
  • FIGS. 1a and 1b show different views of the monolithic epilation element with, in particular, a magnifying lens on the bevel 7 in FIG. 1a and FIG. 1c represents the epilator according to the invention with the monolithic element prestressed on its support and the possibility of an engine present inside.
  • FIG. 2 represents the monolithic depilating element according to the invention where the spacing and articulation elements on the disks are represented by two protuberances substantially perpendicular to the disks, the protuberances being each offset by 90 ° in relation to the adjacent discs.
  • the tilting lines are represented by arrows (ref.8), on section A and section B.
  • FIG. 3 represents the monolithic epilation element according to the invention where the spacing and articulation elements on the discs are represented by a protuberance over the entire diameter of the disc and passing through its center.
  • the protrusion also forms the tilting line and the position thereof is shown in sections A to F.
  • FIG. 4 represents the monolithic epilation element according to the invention where the spacing and articulation elements on the discs are represented by a protrusion that is off-center with respect to the discs and where the offset is also 90.degree. adjacent discs.
  • FIG. 5 represents the different possibilities of contact angles between the monolithic epilation element and the skin as a function of the shape of said element at the start (concave, convex-more or less curved, cylindrical).
  • the present invention discloses an epilator comprising a support and a deformable pre-stressed monolithic epilation element in a curved configuration and rotatably mounted on said support, said monolithic element being formed of a plurality of adjacent discs interconnected by elements of spacing and articulation arranged in such a way that they form a tilting line for two adjacent disks which when using said monolithic element by rotating, swing in pairs and form a diverging zone or some disks are discarded each other leaving open spaces, and a convergent compression area where some disks are pressed against each other, forming forceps for taking and removing hair from the skin.
  • the present invention discloses an epilator comprising a support for example in the form of a housing and a deformable monolithic epilation element 1.
  • This epilator operates as those of the state of the art, namely that it is compressed on one side in order to bend it so as to create on the one hand, a compression part 10 where the discs 2 are pressed against each other forming pliers for removing hair from the skin and on the other side, on the opposite side, a series of adjacent disks 2 separated by gaps in the diverging portion 9.
  • the disks 2 are connected to each other within this monolithic element 1 by hinge elements 3 which can take different forms and are intended to tilt a pair of disks 2 beyond a tilting line. 8 during the rotation of said element to move them from the divergent position to the convergent position, that is to say to the compression state where the discs form tongs to remove the bristles.
  • the monolithic hair removal element 1 is preferably made of synthetic material and more particularly by injection of thermoplastic material. Said element therefore has a certain flexibility allowing it to be compressed and to follow the curvature which has been given to it during the prestressing and during the rotation.
  • this monolithic element 1 lies in the fact that it may consist of a relatively inexpensive and therefore disposable plastic injection molding.
  • the basic structure for said epilator element consists of discs 2, but these discs may be surmounted by protuberances 11 with suitable geometrical shapes (repeated presence of notches at regular intervals on the protuberances) which incidentally enable the hair to be hooked or else to comb it before it is removed.
  • a bevel 7 can also be made on certain protrusions 11 on the disks 2 in question so as not to constitute a pinch point of the hair but rather a surface, which improves the efficiency of the device. (Fig. 1a - magnifying glass)
  • the adjacent disks of the monolithic element 1 generally tilt in pairs by means of the joints 3 connecting said disks 2 to each other.
  • These joints 3 can take a variety of different shapes to achieve this effect, a preferred form being a protuberance substantially perpendicular to the disc.
  • the hinge elements 3 are shifted by 90 ° relative to one another, which makes it possible to obtain an optimal number of clamps on the depilatory element. monolithic 1.
  • the offset angles between the joints 3 of the successive discs 2 are preferably 90 ° but may be generally between 45 and 120 °; this offset angle will determine the number of discs 2 and thus clamps capable of pinching the bristles in a specific position on the monolithic element 2 of the invention.
