Embodiment Construction

[0040] figure 1 Shown is a handheld hair removal device 10 comprising a hair removal device 12 ( image 3 and Figure 4 ), a support structure 14 (not shown in further detail) for supporting the hair removal device, and a skin stretching device 16 attached to the support structure 14 and comprising at least two guide surface portions 18a and 18b . exist figure 1 In the figure, the hair removal device 10 is shown in a standing position on a flat surface, similar to the arrangement during operation.

[0041] refer to image 3 , the hair removal device 12 includes a skin contact portion 30 for contacting the user's skin during operation. The skin-contacting portion 30 extends at least along a main axis 32, which is perpendicular to the main direction of movement 26 ( figure 1 shown in ), wherein the device 10 moves relative to the skin along this main direction of movement 26 during use. Note that the main axis 32 is perpendicular to Figure 7 The plane of the drawing, that...

Abstract

The present invention relates to hair removal, and in particular to a handheld hair removal apparatus. In order to reduce pain during hair removal, the handheld hair removal apparatus (10) comprises a hair removal arrangement (12), a support structure (14) and a skin stretching device (16) attached to the support structure and comprising at least two leading surface portions (18a, 18b) for skin contacting and stretching. The apparatus has a main movement direction (26) in which the apparatus is to be moved relative to skin during use. The hair removal arrangement comprises a skin contact portion (30) for contacting a user's skin during operation,wherein the skin contact portion extends at least along a primary axis (32) extending perpendicularly to the main movement direction (26). The at least two leading surface portions,seen in an imaginary plane comprising a base line (27) and extending parallel to the main movement direction (26),are arranged at opposite inclinations of at least 20 DEG with respect to the base line (27), which extends perpendicularly to the main movement direction and parallel to the primary axis, and are each provided with a skin touching surface portion (34a, 34b) having a main direction of extension that is inclined a tan angle of at least 20 DEG with the base line seen in said imaginary plane. During operation, the leading surface portions are brought into contact with the skin to act on the skin with a pushing force(42) having a first vector (38), parallel to the skin's surface, in a first direction (Y) parallel to the main movement direction, and a second vector (40), parallel to the skin's surface, in a second direction (X) perpendicular to the main movement direction. In an operational position, the skin stretching device is arranged in front of the skin contact portion with respect to the main movement direction. During operation, the skin stretching device provides a stretched skin portion between the at least two leading surface portions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to hair removal, and in particular to handheld hair removal devices. Background technique [0002] It is known to remove hair on body surfaces such as skin parts of arms or legs. For such hair removal, hand-held, motor-driven devices are used. For example, motor driven epilators or shavers are widely used. However, hair removal can be a procedure in which the user may experience pain. In WO2009 / 150607A2 stimulation of the skin is provided in the form of an epilator with massage rollers immediately before the hair is pulled from the skin (or after the hair is removed). Massage rollers consist of pairs of elementary massaging members positioned in a V-shape relative to each other. As another example, WO2009 / 104124 describes an epilator with an interchangeable cap coupled to a drive means of the epilator for vibrations, whereby a user of the epilator experiences vibrations on the skin. The vibration can cause the skin to...
