Embodiment Construction

[0024] figure 1 A depilatory device 1 is shown, which can be equipped with a functional head according to the invention. The epilation device is shown in a somewhat simplified schematic side view. The epilation device 1 has a handpiece 2 . Handpiece 2 has a drive housed in the housing. The drive (not shown here) typically includes an electric motor and a drive element.

[0025] Additionally, a rechargeable battery could be integrated into the handpiece 2 . In the case of using handpieces with rechargeable batteries, it is crucial that the functional head is easy to handle. Therefore, the lubrication according to the invention helps a lot. In particular, for safety reasons, the epilation device should be battery operated (rechargeable or otherwise) if it is used in a shower or bath. Often, persons purchasing such devices expect to use it in the wet state for extended periods of time. As already mentioned, using the device in a wet state, especially for an extended period...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a functional head which may be generally employed in a device for industrial or private use, particularly in a device for beauty care, such as an epilator device. More particularly, the invention relates to a functional head having at least one first element which has a frictional surface, and at least one second element which is movable over the frictional surface when mechanical friction is overcome, wherein a lubricating device is provided by which a lubricant may be applied to the frictional surface, which lubricant is accommodated in a lubricant reservoir, and the lubricant is transported to the frictional surface by means of at least one outlet opening, wherein an increase of mechanical friction by the movement of the at least one second element over the frictional surface leads to heating of at least parts of the lubricant reservoir.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a functional head that can be used in general in devices for industrial or private use, in particular in devices for cosmetic care, such as epilation devices. Background technique [0002] In many fields of mechanical engineering, efforts are made to mechanically optimize and reduce friction of moving parts, in particular functional heads of tools that drive parts or otherwise operate with moving parts. These efforts have also involved mechanical devices for personal grooming, such as razors or epilating devices. Epilation devices are mechanical devices that pull out hair by means of tweezers to remove unwanted body hair. [0003] EP 513900 B1 discloses such a depilatory device. The device has a drive unit and a functional head (epilation head). The epilation head can have various types of configurations. Suitable configurations include disc configurations that rotate about a longitudinal axis and are axially movabl...
