Encore un autre but de l'invention est un appareil à épiler au moyen anti douleur qui garantit une sécurité pour l'utilisateur.Yet another object of the invention is an anti-pain depilatory device which guarantees safety for the user.
Un autre but de l'invention et de fournir un épilateur ayant un moyen anti douleur fiable, de construction simple et qui se prête à une fabrication en grande série, pour des coûts de fabrication moindres.Another object of the invention is to provide an epilator having a reliable anti-pain means, of simple construction and which lends itself to mass production, for less manufacturing costs.
Ces buts sont atteints avec un appareil de soin corporel comprenant un boitier qui renferme un moteur électrique et un train d'engrenage entrainé par ledit moteur ; un cylindre d'épilation rotatif autour d'un axe d'épilation parallèle au plan de la peau à traiter, ledit cylindre d'épilation comprenant à une de ses extrémités un pignon d'entrainement destiné à être entrainé par ledit train d'engrenage ; un élément massant destiné à être en contact avec la peau et à être entrainé en un mouvement motorisé oscillatoire de translation dans une direction parallèle à l'axe d'épilation. L'appareil comprend un bloc bi-traitement intégrant ledit élément massant et ledit cylindre d'épilation et ledit bloc bi-traitement est monté interchangeable sur le boitier de l'appareil.These objects are achieved with a body care device comprising a housing which encloses an electric motor and a gear train driven by said motor; a rotary depilating cylinder around an axis of depilation parallel to the plane of the skin to be treated, said depilating cylinder comprising at one of its ends a driving pinion intended to be driven by said gear train; a massaging element intended to be in contact with the skin and to be driven in an oscillatory motorized translational movement in a direction parallel to the epilation axis. The apparatus comprises a bi-treatment block incorporating said massaging element and said depilating cylinder and said bi-processing block is mounted interchangeably on the housing of the apparatus.
Par cylindre d'épilation rotatif on comprend tout dispositif capable de supporter et d'entraîner les pinces à épiler en un mouvement continu de rotation autour d'au moins un axe de rotation. Un tel dispositif peut être notamment un rouleau rotatif à pinces, mais également une courroie portant des pinces, une chaîne entraînant des modules articulée portant des pinces à épiler, etc.By rotary depilating cylinder is meant any device capable of supporting and driving the tweezers in a continuous rotational movement about at least one axis of rotation. Such a device may be in particular a rotary roller clamps, but also a belt carrying clamps, a chain driving articulated modules carrying tweezers, etc..
Ce déplacement dans le plan de la peau produit notamment une action de massage par frottement effectuée juste à côté de la zone d'action du rouleau d'épilation et donc dans une zone adjacente à la zone d'épilation. Lors des tests effectués sur diverses personnes, on a constaté que le fait de masser vigoureusement par frottement une zone sensibilisée par la douleur a pour effet de calmer immédiatement la douleur. On a également constaté qu'en massant une zone de peau avant ou pendant une action d'arrachage des poils, ce massage a un effet anesthésiant sur un court intervalle temporel, et que la douleur due à l'épilation devient plus supportable par la suite.This movement in the plane of the skin produces in particular a rubbing massage action performed just next to the action zone of the hair removal roller and therefore in an area adjacent to the hair removal zone. In tests on various individuals, it has been found that rubbing a pain-sensitized area vigorously with pain has the effect of immediately relieving pain. It has also been found that by massaging an area of skin before or during a pulling action of the bristles, this massage has an anesthetic effect over a short time interval, and that the pain due to hair removal becomes more bearable thereafter .
De surcroit, on constate une action bénéfique du massage en surface de la peau sur la microcirculation sanguine ayant comme effet l'atténuation, avec le frottement, de la présence des points rouges provoqués par l'arrachage des poils.In addition, there is a beneficial action of the surface massage of the skin on the blood microcirculation having the effect of attenuation, with friction, the presence of red dots caused by tearing of the hair.
Du fait que l'élément massant actif est intégré dans le bloc bi-traitement qui contient en même temps le cylindre d'épilation, la fonction massage pour un effet anti douleur est toujours réalisée simultanément à l'arrachage des poils. Surtout, grâce à une fixation réversible de l'ensemble du bloc bi-traitement, ce dernier peut se démonter facilement du boîtier quand l'utilisateur souhaite un traitement autre que l'épilation. A cet effet, le boîtier est construit de façon à pouvoir recevoir d'autres têtes de traitement interchangeables avec le bloc bi-traitement, ces autres têtes fonctionnelles ne nécessitant pas de moyen antidouleur motorisé comme la fonction épilation le nécessite.Because the active massaging element is integrated in the bi-treatment block which at the same time contains the depilating cylinder, the massage function for an anti-pain effect is always performed simultaneously with the pulling of the hairs. Above all, thanks to a reversible fixation of the entire bi-treatment block, the latter can be dismounted easily from the housing when the user wants a treatment other than hair removal. For this purpose, the housing is constructed so as to receive other treatment heads interchangeable with the bi-treatment block, these other functional heads do not require motorized painter means as the hair removal function requires.
De préférence, le bloc bi-traitement comprend un volet mobile en rotation dudit axe d'épilation qui définit au moins un bord longitudinal mobile d'une fenêtre d'épilation et qui comprend un talon d'appui sur la zone à épiler s'étendant dans le prolongement du bord longitudinal mobile à l'opposé de la fenêtre d'épilation. La présence du talon d'appui indique sans équivoque le sens d'utilisation de la tête d'épilation dans la mesure où le talon doit être placé en amont de la fenêtre d'épilation par rapport au sens de déplacement de la tête d'épilation sur la zone à épiler. De plus, le talon et sa surface de contact permettent une légère mise en tension de la peau de la zone à épiler en raison du frottement et de la légère traction induite par le talon et sa surface de contact lors du déplacement de la tête d'épilation contre la peau de la zone à épiler. Il doit être remarqué que la rotation, selon un axe parallèle et confondu avec l'axe de rotation du rouleau d'épilation ,du volet mobile et du talon qu'il porte permet de conserver le contact avec la peau de la zone à épiler lors des légères variations, de l'orientation du boîtier par rapport à la peau de la zone à épiler, induites par l'utilisateur. Ainsi, le talon et sa surface de contact restent toujours parallèles à la peau de la zone à épiler de sorte que la légère tension de cette dernière est toujours maintenue malgré les légères variations d'orientation du boîtier.Preferably, the bi-treatment block comprises a flap movable in rotation with said depilating axis which defines at least one movable longitudinal edge of an epilation window and which comprises a support heel on the zone of epilation extending in the extension of the movable longitudinal edge opposite the epilation window. The presence of the support heel unequivocally indicates the direction of use of the epilating head in that the heel must be placed upstream of the epilation window relative to the direction of movement of the epilation head. on the area to be depilated. In addition, the heel and its contact surface allow a slight tensioning of the skin of the area to be depilated due to the friction and the slight traction induced by the heel and its contact surface during the displacement of the head. hair removal against the skin of the area to be depilated. It should be noted that the rotation, along an axis parallel to and coincident with the axis of rotation of the hair removal roller, the movable flap and the heel it carries keeps contact with the skin of the area to be epilated when slight variations in the orientation of the casing with respect to the skin of the zone to be dehaired, induced by the user. Thus, the heel and its contact surface are always parallel to the skin of the area to be depilated so that the slight tension of the latter is still maintained despite the slight variations in orientation of the housing.
Avantageusement, l'élément massant est monté à l'opposé du bord longitudinal mobile du talon d'appui et il a une liaison glissière par rapport au volet mobile dans une direction parallèle audit axe d'épilation. Ainsi, l'élément massant est intégré avec le rouleau d'épilation dans le même bloc bi-traitement par le biais du volet mobile. Ceci permet également une mise en tension de la peau afin de pouvoir bien pincer les poils sans pour autant augmenter la sensation de douleur. En effet, grâce au volet mobile, l'élément massant est toujours maintenu à une position d'appui sur la peau malgré les variations d'orientation du bloc bi-traitement pour un massage à effet anti douleur optimal.Advantageously, the massaging element is mounted opposite the movable longitudinal edge of the support heel and has a slide connection relative to the movable flap in a direction parallel to said hair removal axis. Thus, the massaging element is integrated with the hair removal roller in the same bi-treatment block through the movable flap. This also allows tensioning of the skin so that it can pinch the hair without increasing the sensation of pain. Indeed, thanks to the movable flap, the massaging element is always maintained at a bearing position on the skin despite variations in orientation of the bi-treatment block for a massage with optimal anti-pain effect.
De surcroît, le cylindre d'épilation comprend des moyens de définition des secteurs angulaires et le volet mobile est solidaire desdits moyens de définition des secteurs angulaires de manière à assurer une modification de la position des secteurs angulaires par rapport au bloc bi-traitement en fonction de l'orientation du volet mobile. Ainsi, le déroulement des séquences d'ouverture et de fermeture des pinces est toujours optimal malgré les variations de l'inclinaison du boîtier par rapport à la peau de la zone à épiler.In addition, the depilating cylinder comprises means for defining the angular sectors and the movable flap is secured to said means for defining the angular sectors so as to ensure a modification of the position of the angular sectors relative to the bi-treatment block according to the orientation of the mobile component. Thus, the sequence of opening and closing clamps is always optimal despite variations in the inclination of the housing relative to the skin of the area to be dehaired.
Selon l'invention, l'appareil comprend une came rotative autour d'un axe secondaire parallèle à l'axe d'épilation, la came étant montée sur une tige et destinée à entrainer ledit élément massant. Il s'agit d'une came à rainure ayant pour but de transformer un mouvement de rotation en un mouvement de translation, de l'élément massant. On simplifie nettement la construction à la fois de l'accessoire et de l'appareil sans augmenter pour autant l'encombrement du boitier, tout en obtenant un dispositif plus compact, avec une vitesse fortement augmentée, facile à mettre en place, efficace en terme d'entrainement et d'une durée de vie prolongée.According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a rotary cam about a secondary axis parallel to the epilation axis, the cam being mounted on a rod and intended to drive said massaging element. It is a grooved cam for the purpose of transforming a rotational movement into a translational movement of the massaging element. It simplifies significantly the construction of both the accessory and the device without increasing the size of the case, while obtaining a more compact device, with a greatly increased speed, easy to implement, effective in term training and an extended life.
Dans une première variante, ladite tige est solidaire au volet mobile. Ainsi, la came est intégrée au bloc bi-traitement et se démonte avec ce dernier de façon simultanée, ce qui permet un gain d'encombrement de l'appareil.In a first variant, said rod is integral with the movable flap. Thus, the cam is integrated in the dual-processing block and disassembles with the latter simultaneously, which allows a saving of space of the device.
Avantageusement, la came comprend à une de ses extrémités un pignon de came, la came est destinée à être entrainée par le cylindre d'épilation au moyen d'un train d'engrenage translation.Advantageously, the cam comprises at one of its ends a cam gear, the cam is intended to be driven by the depilating cylinder by means of a translation gear train.
On aurait pu imaginer un pignon de came prenant contact directement avec le pignon d'entrainement du rouleau d'épilation afin d'être entrainé par celui-ci, ce qui permet de réduire l'encombrement du bloc bi-traitement. On préfère toutefois une structure où ledit train d'engrenage translation comprend ledit pignon de came, le pignon d'entrainement et au moins un pignon de vitesse entre les deux pour des raisons de sécurité et de réglage. Avec ce pignon intermédiaire, il devient possible d'augmenter encore la vitesse d'oscillation de l'élément massant. L'ajout du pignon de vitesse présente un avantage de sécurité dans la mesure où une collision se produit entre les dents du pignon d'entrainement et le cadre quand le pignon de came est trop près du rouleau.One could have imagined a cam gear contacting directly with the drive pinion of the depilating roller to be driven by it, which reduces the size of the block bi-treatment. However, a structure is preferred in which said translational gear train comprises said cam gear, the drive gear and at least one gear wheel between the two for reasons of safety and adjustment. With this intermediate gear, it becomes possible to further increase the oscillation speed of the massaging element. The addition of the sprocket has a safety benefit in that a collision occurs between the sprocket teeth and the frame when the sprocket is too close to the roller.
De préférence, la came comprend une rainure formée pour permettre une rotation de la came dans les deux sens opposés. Ceci permet de doubler la vitesse d'oscillation de l'élément massant et d'assurer une sécurité pour l'utilisateur. Du fait que la came puisse tourner dans le sens opposé à celui du fonctionnement de l'appareil, l'utilisateur aura la possibilité de manipuler en cas de coincement de poils afin de nettoyer le bloc bi-traitement. Le chemin de came est défini de telle manière qu'il permet lors d'une rotation de ladite came de doubler la vitesse d'oscillation de l'élément massant et d'assurer une sécurité pour l'utilisateur.Preferably, the cam comprises a groove formed to allow rotation of the cam in two opposite directions. This makes it possible to double the oscillation speed of the massaging element and to ensure safety for the user. Because the cam can rotate in the opposite direction to the operation of the device, the user will be able to handle in case of trapping of hair to clean the block bi-treatment. The cam path is defined such that during rotation of said cam, it enables the oscillation speed of the massaging element to be doubled and to ensure safety for the user.
Dans une deuxième variante, la tige est solidaire du boitier. Ainsi, la came est intégrée au boîtier de l'appareil.In a second variant, the rod is secured to the housing. Thus, the cam is integrated in the housing of the apparatus.
Dans cette deuxième variante, le bloc bi-traitement comprend au moins un bras d'actionnement de l'élément massant perpendiculaire à l'axe Δ destiné à être entrainé par le moteur au moyen d'une transmission mécanique.In this second variant, the bi-processing block comprises at least one actuating arm of the massaging element perpendicular to the axis Δ intended to be driven by the motor by means of a mechanical transmission.
Avantageusement, ladite transmission mécanique comprend au moins ledit pignon de came, un pignon de moteur et un élément vibrant destiné à être oscillé par la came, ledit élément vibrant comprenant un logement destiné à recevoir ledit bras d'actionnement et le guider en translation dans une direction parallèle à l'axe d'épilation. Selon ce mode de réalisation, l'élément massant est relié à un bras d'actionnement qui a un certain degré de liberté dans un logement de l'élément vibrant et qui est entrainé par ce dernier pour un mouvement de va -et - vient. L'élément vibrant ayant une forme en T se déplace dans la rainure de la came pour assurer le mouvement en translation. L'élément massant peut donc suivre le mouvement du volet mobile grâce au dimensionnement du logement de l'élément vibrant.Advantageously, said mechanical transmission comprises at least said cam gear, a motor gear and a vibrating element intended to be oscillated by the cam, said vibrating element comprising a housing for receiving said actuating arm and guiding it in translation in a direction parallel to the hair removal axis. According to this embodiment, the massaging element is connected to an actuating arm which has a certain degree of freedom in a housing of the vibrating element and which is driven by the latter for a back and forth movement. The vibrating element having a T shape moves in the groove of the cam to ensure the translational movement. The massaging element can therefore follow the movement of the movable flap by sizing the housing of the vibrating element.
Selon une alternative, l'élément massant est une barrette ayant une surface de contact avec la peau substantiellement plane. On peut imaginer une surface présentant une rugosité relativement importante pour qu'elle produise un effet de massage par frottement ou encore un effet exfoliant pendant l'épilation. On peut aussi se permettre d'utiliser une surface lisse mais avec un coefficient de friction variable suivant le besoin de l'utilisateur pour tirer plus ou moins la couche épidermique de la peau pour un massage doux.Alternatively, the massaging member is a bar having a substantially planar skin contacting surface. One can imagine a surface having a relatively high roughness so that it produces a rubbing massage effect or an exfoliating effect during hair removal. We can also afford to use a smooth surface but with a coefficient of friction variable according to the need of the user to draw more or less the epidermal layer of the skin for a gentle massage.
Selon une autre alternative, l'élément massant est une barrette ayant une surface de contact avec la peau comprenant des protubérances. Par exemple des picots de massage ou des demi sphères faisant saillie par rapport au plan de la surface de contact avec la peau de la barrette pouvant pénétrer dans la peau, chaque picot/demi sphère constituant en effet un point d'ancrage qui entraîne la peau en déplacement afin d'augmenter l'effet de massage jusque dans des couches plus profondes de la peau.According to another alternative, the massaging element is a bar having a skin contacting surface comprising protuberances. For example massage nubs or half spheres protruding from the plane of the contact surface with the skin of the bar being able to penetrate the skin, each pin / half sphere constituting in fact an anchoring point which causes the skin on the move to increase the effect of massage into deeper layers of the skin.
De préférence, la barrette est en ZAMAK qui a une propriété de faible coefficient de frottement. Le zamak est un alliage de zinc, d'aluminium et de magnésium et parfois de cuivre. Son nom est un acronyme des noms allemands des métaux qui le composent :Zink (zinc), Aluminium, Magnesium (magnésium) et Kupfer (cuivre).Preferably, the bar is ZAMAK which has a low coefficient of friction property. Zamak is an alloy of zinc, aluminum and magnesium and sometimes copper. Its name is an acronym for the German names of the metals that compose it: Zink (zinc), Aluminum, Magnesium (magnesium) and Kupfer (copper).
Il faut préciser que le matériau choisi pour la barrette est un matériau suffisamment dur pour ne pas adhérer à la peau et l'entrainer lors du frottement exercé sur cette dernière par la barrette en mouvement. Un tel matériau peut être alternativement, à titre exemple, un matériau plastique du type polyamide chargé en bille de verre ou du POM qui est un matériau connu pour avoir un faible coefficient de frottement dû à ses bonnes propriétés de glissement.It should be noted that the material chosen for the bar is a material hard enough not to adhere to the skin and drag it during the friction exerted on the latter by the bar moving. Such a material may be alternatively, for example, a plastic material of the polyamide type loaded with glass ball or POM which is a material known to have a low coefficient of friction due to its good sliding properties.
De surcroît, on peut également envisager un appareil de soins corporels qui comprend au moins une tête de massage monté interchangeable sur le boitier. Du fait que le bloc bi-traitement est maintenu sur le boitier par un moyen de fixation réversible, il est détachable et interchangeable avec d'autres accessoires de soin. On peut imaginer des accessoires tels qu'une tête de massage, une tête de rasage, ou encore une tête de tondeuse etc.In addition, one can also consider a body care device that includes at least one massage head mounted interchangeably on the housing. Because the bi-treatment block is held on the housing by a reversible attachment means, it is detachable and interchangeable with other care accessories. We can imagine accessories such as a massage head, a shaving head, or a mower head, etc.
Enfin, l'appareil peut comprendre un système de flux d'air ayant un ventilateur entrainé par un moteur électrique pour créer un flux d'air entre une ouverture d'entrée du boitier et une ouverture de sortie du boitier tel que défini dans le brevet

Un appareil de soin corporel telle qu'illustré à la
Un tel cylindre d'épilation 4 comprend plusieurs modules d'arrachage composés de pinces ou de disques rotatifs destinés à exercer une fermeture rapide pour pincer les poils. Le cylindre d'épilation 4 est rotatif par rapport à un axe d'épilation Δ parallèle au plan de la peau à épiler et est entrainé en rotation par le pignon d'entrainement 42. Le cylindre d'épilation comprend des moyens de définition des secteurs angulaires 41, par exemple, formé par une ou plusieurs cames associées à des chemins de cames adaptés afin que les pinces soient ouvertes au moment où elles commencent à affleurer au niveau d'une fenêtre d'épilation 92 et se ferment alors qu'elles affleurent encore et bien avant de sortir de la fenêtre d'épilation 92.Such a
Toujours à la
Le bloc bi-traitement 8 comprend une base 82 solidaire à un capot 83 qui reçoit le cylindre d'épilation 4 ; l'élément massant 7 et leur mécanisme d'entrainement. La base 82 comprend en partie inférieure des crochets 25 venant automatiquement, sous la poussée d'un ressort, en prise avec des moyens de verrouillage 222 situés en partie supérieure du boitier 2. Un bouton de déverrouillage 24 est prévu sur un côté du boîtier 2 à l'aide duquel on pousse les moyens de verrouillage 222 pour libérer les crochets 25 et retirer le bloc bi-traitement 8. Grâce au système de verrouillage réversible, l'ensemble du bloc bi-traitement comprenant le cylindre d'épilation 4 et l'élément massant 7 est démontable du boîtier 2 et interchangeable avec d'autres accessoires de traitement.The
Avant de présenter les différents modes d'actionnement de la barrette, il faudrait tout d'abord comprendre qu'il serait préférable d'amener son mouvement tangentiel de manière fermé et intime à la peau quel que soit le positionnement angulaire du boîtier 2 de l'appareil par rapport au plan de travail ce qui permettra de maximiser l'oscillation de la barrette et augmenter l'efficacité de l'effet antidouleur.Before presenting the different modes of actuation of the bar, it should first be understood that it would be preferable to bring tangential movement in a closed and intimate manner to the skin regardless of the angular positioning of the
A cet effet, la barrette est incorporée dans un volet mobile 9 qui est lui-même logé dans le capot 83 du bloc. En effet, comme cela a été dit précédemment, le cylindre d'épilation 4 affleure au niveau de la fenêtre d'épilation 92 aménagé dans le corps du bloc bi-traitement. Selon l'exemple illustré la fenêtre d'épilation 92 est délimitée par, d'une part, deux bords longitudinaux 91 et 94 parallèles entre eux et à l'axe d'épilation Δ et, d'autre part, deux bord transversaux qui sont parallèles entre eux et présentent une forme arquée en étant contenus dans des plans perpendiculaires à l'axe de rotation Δ. L'un des bords longitudinaux, ici le bord inférieur 94, est fixe étant formé par un bord du capot 83. Selon l'invention, l'autre bord longitudinal est mobile en étant formé par le volet mobile 9 en rotation autour de l'axe d'épilation Δ. Ce bord longitudinal mobile est désigné par la référence 91. Le volet mobile 9 comprend un talon d'appui 93 qui s'étend dans le prolongement du bord longitudinal mobile 91 à l'opposé de la fenêtre d'épilation 92. Le talon définit alors une surface de contact avec la peau de la zone à épiler. Dans le but de garantir un arrachage aussi performant que possible des poils de la zone à épiler quelle que soit l'inclinaison du boîtier 2 par rapport à la peau, le volet mobile 9 est de préférence solidaire des moyens de définition des secteurs angulaires 41. Ainsi, les moyens de définition des secteurs angulaires 41 se trouvent mobiles en rotation autour de l'axe d'épilation Δ et suivent les variations de l'inclinaison du boîtier 2 par rapport à la peau de la zone à épiler. Le volet mobile 9 comprend en outre une fenêtre de massage 95 donnant l'accès à l'élément massant 7. Ce dernier comprend une rainure circulaire 73 formant avec des lignes de protubérance de la fenêtre de massage 95 une liaison glissière, ce qui assure le mouvement va et vient de la barrette dans un plan parallèle à celui du volet mobile 9. Ainsi, la barrette suit le mouvement du volet mobile 9 quel que soit l'inclinaison de l'appareil et garantit un effet massage optimal. On remarque que, sous l'effort de frottement entre le volet mobile 9 et le pignon d'entrainement 42 du cylindre d'épilation 4, le volet mobile 9 ainsi que la barrette antidouleur seront toujours amenés à solliciter la peau et donc maintenus en contact intime avec la peau.For this purpose, the bar is incorporated in a
Nous allons maintenant expliquer en détail l'entrainement de l'élément massant 7. Dans un premier mode de réalisation comme illustré à la
Afin de pouvoir transmettre le mouvement en rotation de la came 5 en un mouvement de translation de l'élément massant 7, la came 5 présente une rainure 51 dans laquelle vient s'insérer un cylindre dépassant 71 solidaire à l'élément massant 7, le cylindre dépassant 71 étant guidé par la rampe de la rainure 51 afin d'amener la barrette à un mouvement de va-et-vient. L'avantage d'un tel système d'entrainement est de pouvoir moduler la vitesse de la came 5 de manière à ce qu'elle soit adaptée à la fréquence de frottement de la barrette sur la peau. Les pignons faisant partie du train d'engrenage translation 81 présentent des diamètres et des nombres de dents à un certain rapport, ce qui permet d'amplifier ou réduire la vitesse de sortie du boîtier en modifiant ces paramètres.In order to be able to transmit the rotational movement of the
Dans une variante de ce premier mode de réalisation non illustré, on peut supprimer le pignon de vitesse 60 tout en mettant le pignon de came 52 en contact direct avec le pignon d'entrainement 42. Dans ce cas là, on peut gagner en matière d'espace du bloc bi-traitement. Toutefois, cette variante n'est pas préférable puisqu'une collision se produit entre les dents du pignon d'entrainement 42 et le volet mobile 9 quand le pignon de came 52 est trop près du cylindre d'épilation 4.In a variant of this first embodiment that is not illustrated, it is possible to eliminate the
Dans le but encore d'améliorer l'usage de l'appareil, la came 5 est préférablement une double came ayant une rainure permettant de faire déplacer la barrette dans un sens ou dans l'autre. Ceci présente un avantage de pouvoir doubler la fréquence de vibration de la barrette et aussi de garantir la sécurité et l'efficacité de l'appareil. Quand le cylindre d'épilation mis en marche est en contact avec la peau, il peut y avoir un coincement de poils entre le cylindre et le volet mobile, la double came permet de tourner manuellement le cylindre d'épilation dans le sens opposé à celui du fonctionnement pour dépannage ou nettoyage.In order to further improve the use of the apparatus, the
Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention comme illustré aux
Selon ce mode de réalisation, la barrette comprend un bras d'actionnement 72 sous forme de deux tiges métalliques destinées à s'insérer dans le logement 62 et à être guidées par les parois du logement 62. Sachant que le logement 62 peut être débouchant tout en gardant le même degré de liberté pour le mouvement du bras d'actionnement. Avec une telle construction de l'appareil, la fréquence de vibration de la barrette est contrôlée et optimisée et le pignon de came 52 peut être entrainé en rotation à une vitesse supérieure à celle de la roue de transmission 221.According to this embodiment, the bar comprises an
On peut aussi, bien sûr, utiliser la double came présentée dans le premier mode de réalisation dans le but d'obtenir une fréquence plus importante.One can also, of course, use the double cam presented in the first embodiment in order to obtain a higher frequency.
Le fait d'avoir un bloc bi-traitement 8 démontable intégrant le cylindre d'épilation 4 et l'élément massant 7 permet de rendre l'appareil plus compact et multifonctionnel en mettant d'autres accessoires interchangeables avec le bloc bi-traitement nécessitant un mouvement motorisé. A titre indicatif et non limitatif, le boîtier 2 de l'appareil est adapté pour recevoir une tête de massage comme illustré à la
Il serait également possible de combiner l'épilation antidouleur à d'autres traitement de la peau, de façon à ce que l'épilation se fasse entre deux actions antidouleur séparées mises en série. Comme exemple illustré à la
Bien entendu, d'autres modifications peuvent être apportées à l'invention dans le cadre des revendications annexées.Of course, other modifications may be made to the invention within the scope of the appended claims.
