AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a device and cutting tool for removing skin that can be used in more than one working direction. The blade holder is attachable in a direction transverse to the blade and can be secured at two edges that are facing away from one another with positive-locking engagement on the cutting tool holder. This allows for varied applications for removing skin that are more independent with regard to the attachment of the cutting tool on the cutting tool holder. The blade holder is provided at two edges that are facing away from one another with structures for positive-locking engagement on the cutting tool holder. The blade is flexible and is arranged to be movable by flexing in the blade holder. The blade normally is held captively but relatively loosely in the blade holder and only when the cutting tool is attached to the cutting tool holder, bending of the blade takes place so that then the cutting edge is exposed such that the desired skin removal action is enabled. This provides a high degree of safety with respect to cutting injuries as a result of improper use, in particular when the cutting tool is attached to or removed from the cutting tool holder."

Problems solved by technology

If the device were used in the reverse working direction, the cutting tool could detach accidentally from the holder and this increases the risk of injury.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]The device for skin removal and in particular removal of calluses (callus reducer) is comprised of a cutting tool 1 that is attached exchangeably on a cutting tool holder 2. FIG. 1 shows the cutting tool 1 in its locked position on the cutting tool holder 2.

[0023]The cutting tool holder 2 is comprised primarily of a grip section 4 and an adjoining fastening section 5. The grip section 4 is preferably elongate so that it can be easily gripped by the hand of a user. An ergonomic design of the grip section 4 is advantageous. The fastening section 5 that is integrally formed at the grip section 4 serves for releasably securing the cutting tool 1. For this purpose, the following components of the fastening section 5 are provided: a locking element 12 that is movably guided thereat, an actuation button 19 for the locking element, as well as a pressure element 25 designed as a spring.

[0024]Preferably, the unit comprised of grip section 4 and fastening section 5 is made of plastic mat...

Abstract

A device for removing skin has a grip section; a fastening section connected to the grip section; a blade holder arranged exchangeably on the fastening section; and a blade disposed in the blade holder and provided with at least one cutting edge. The blade holder is attachable in a direction transverse to a plane of the blade on the fastening section. The blade holder has two edges, facing away from one another, and is secured with the two edges by a positive-locking connection on the fastening section.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a device for removing skin. The device comprises a grip section, an adjoining fastening section, as well as a blade holder that is exchangeably arranged on the fastening section. A blade provided with at least one cutting edge is arranged in the blade holder.[0002]Moreover, the invention concerns a cutting tool for removing skin, in particular for the treatment of calluses, comprising a blade holder and a blade received therein and provided with at least one cutting edge.[0003]A device as well as a cutting tool with these features is disclosed in EP 1 216 664 A2. A fastening section is arranged as an extension of the grip section of the device; a cutting tool is attached exchangeably on the fastening section. The cutting tool is comprised of a blade holder and a blade received therein. The task of the blade holder is to receive the blade and to surround it in such a way that the risk of injury is minimal when attaching or rem...
