Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a multi-purpose hair removal tool. Background Technology
[0002] Razors and epilators are commonly used handheld hair removal tools. Razors are physical hair removal tools that cut hair directly with a blade, while epilators are tools that remove hair with tweezers. Currently, most razors and epilators are handheld and operate with separate blades. However, current epilators have limited functionality, requiring users to switch between different devices, making operation cumbersome and hindering product promotion. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a multi-purpose hair removal tool with a simple structure that can be used for both shaving and plucking underarm hair, offering convenient switching and excellent performance.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a multi-purpose hair removal tool, including a handle. One end of the handle is provided with a first working head for shaving armpit hair, and the other end is provided with a second working head for plucking hair. A cover is rotatably fitted on the handle. The cover has a U-shaped cross-section, and through grooves are provided on both sides of the cover for exposing the first or second working head by rotating the cover.
[0005] The advantages of this design are as follows: Traditional hair removal requires separate use of a razor and an epilator, and switching between them requires finding a storage location, which is especially problematic in the humid environment of a bathroom, where tools are easily dropped due to slippage. This new device, however, only requires one hand to rotate the cover, precisely exposing the corresponding working head through the slots on both sides. No two hands are needed, and switching can be easily completed even with wet hands or shower gel, saving operation time and improving safety. The integrated design of the handle and dual working heads saves bathroom storage space compared to storing two separate tools, and eliminates the need for separate packaging when traveling, significantly improving portability. The rotating switching method eliminates the need to disassemble any parts, reducing the risk of lost parts, lowering maintenance costs, and further enhancing overall ease of use.
[0006] As a further feature of this utility model, the baffle is divided into a first connecting part and a second connecting part, the first connecting part is connected to the second connecting part, the first connecting part is provided with a connecting shaft, the handle is provided with a connecting hole, the connecting shaft passes through the connecting hole, the second connecting part is provided with a guide post and a positioning hole corresponding to the position of the connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft passes through the guide post and is locked in the positioning hole.
[0007] The advantages of this design are as follows: Traditional guards often require tools to pry open when cleaning the gaps in the working head or replacing parts, which can easily damage the connections. The split design, with its connecting shaft passing through the connecting hole and snapping into the positioning hole, can be disassembled without tools. Simply hold the first and second connecting parts with one hand and pull them in opposite directions. Once the connecting shaft is disengaged from the positioning hole, the guard can be removed. This allows for more thorough cleaning of residual hair on the blades or dirt on the plucking wheel, making it especially suitable for quick maintenance in the humid environment of a bathroom, preventing dirt buildup from affecting use. This integrated structure is also more efficient in production and processing. The split processing reduces the difficulty of molding the U-shaped guard into a single piece, reduces process defects, and facilitates individual inspection of the assembly accuracy of each connecting part, improving the product qualification rate.
[0008] As a further feature of this invention, a snap-fit flange is provided in the positioning hole, and two elastic arms are provided at the free end of the connecting shaft, with a snap-fit block at the end of each elastic arm for snapping onto the snap-fit flange.
[0009] The advantages of this design are as follows: Traditional fixing methods, while stable with screws, require tools for disassembly, and ordinary clips are prone to loosening due to vibration. The engagement of the elastic arm and the locking flange, however, provides a stable lock by the locking block, preventing the shield from shifting even during vibrations from the electric epilator and ensuring epilator accuracy. Disassembly requires no tools; simply pinch the elastic arm with your fingertips to close it, and the locking block will disengage from the flange. This is especially suitable for one-handed operation in the humid environment of a bathroom, preventing the tool from slipping due to wet hands. The deformable nature of the elastic arm provides cushioning, offsetting impacts from accidental operation during assembly, reducing wear on the connecting shaft and positioning holes, and extending component lifespan. Multiple locking tightness levels can be designed by finely adjusting the dimensions of the locking block and flange to accommodate different users' preferences for shield switching resistance. This structure eliminates the need for additional fasteners (such as screws and springs), reducing the number of parts, lowering production and assembly complexity, avoiding the risk of losing small parts, and further improving product usability.
[0010] As a further feature of this invention, a locking groove is provided on the edge of the first connecting part, and a latch is provided on the second connecting part. The latch engages with the locking groove to form a fixed connection between the first connecting part and the second connecting part.
[0011] The advantages of this design are as follows: Traditional split-type baffles often rely on screws or glue for fixing, requiring repeated calibration of hole positions, tightening with tools, or waiting for the glue to cure. This is not only time-consuming but also prone to assembly failure due to misalignment. The locking groove and buckle snap-fit design, however, allows for immediate engagement upon alignment. During assembly, simply align the buckle of the second connecting part with the locking groove of the first connecting part and press lightly. The buckle's elastic deformation completes the fixation. Workers can operate quickly without specialized skills, significantly improving production line efficiency. The "click" feedback provides direct confirmation of proper assembly, reducing the probability of omissions or misassemblies. Furthermore, the structure is more stable. The interlocking surfaces of the buckle and locking groove form a bidirectional limiting mechanism, preventing the baffle from loosening due to vibration or impact during use. Compared to screw connections, it is better suited to the humid environment of a bathroom, reducing the risk of fixation failure due to rust on metal parts.
[0012] As a further feature of this utility model, the first connecting part is provided with a positioning groove on the edge of the locking groove, and the second connecting part is provided with a positioning edge, which is inserted into the positioning groove.
[0013] The advantages of this design are as follows: With this design, relying solely on the latch and locking slot for assembly requires workers to repeatedly adjust the angles of the two connecting parts, which can easily lead to latch jamming or damage from forced engagement due to misalignment. The design of inserting the positioning edge into the positioning slot allows for pre-positioning guidance. During assembly, the positioning edge is first embedded into the positioning slot, and the position of the latch and locking slot can be quickly calibrated through the slot edge limit, eliminating the need for repeated visual alignment. Subsequent engagement operations can be completed simultaneously by both hands, improving assembly error tolerance. Even novice workers can achieve alignment and engagement on the first attempt, further shortening the assembly time for a single cover. The contact surface between the positioning edge and the positioning slot restricts lateral displacement of the two connecting parts, preventing latch misalignment due to handle vibration during use. Combined with the two-way limiting of the latch, this forms double fixation and protects the latch's lifespan. Precise pre-positioning prevents additional deformation caused by latch misalignment, reducing engagement wear and extending component lifespan. It also accommodates dimensional errors; the positioning slot can accommodate minor dimensional deviations of the positioning edge, reducing production precision requirements, decreasing scrap rates due to dimensional discrepancies, and improving production economy.
[0014] As a further feature of this invention, the handle is arc-shaped, and the outline of the cover is adapted to the curvature of the handle.
[0015] The benefits of this design are as follows: With a traditional straight grip, localized pressure can easily occur between the thumb and forefinger and fingertips, leading to soreness during prolonged use. The curved grip, however, conforms to the natural curve of the hand, distributing pressure more evenly. This is especially beneficial during hair removal when adjustments are needed at multiple angles (such as under the armpit). The curved design allows fingers to naturally conform to the sides of the grip, resulting in more even force and preventing slippage. Furthermore, the shield's contour perfectly matches the grip's curvature, creating a smooth, integrated look. This avoids the abrupt gaps at the junction of the shield and grip found in traditional split designs, enhancing the product's visual sophistication and meeting modern home aesthetic requirements.

[0019] This utility model provides a first embodiment of a multi-purpose hair removal tool, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device includes a handle 2, one end of which is equipped with a first working head 12 for shaving underarm hair, and the other end with a second working head 11 for plucking hair. A cover 1 is rotatably fitted onto the handle 2. The cover 1 has a U-shaped cross-section, and slots on both sides of the cover 1 are provided for exposing the first working head 12 or the second working head 11 by rotating the cover 1. The advantages of this design are: traditional hair removal requires using a razor and an epilator separately, and switching requires finding a storage location, especially in the humid environment of a bathroom, where the tools are easily dropped due to slipping; while this device only requires one hand to rotate the cover 1, precisely exposing the corresponding working head through the slots on both sides, without the need for both hands. Even if the hands are wet or have shower gel, switching can be easily completed, saving operation time and improving safety. The integrated design of the handle 2 and the dual working heads saves more bathroom storage space compared to storing the two tools separately. It also eliminates the need for separate packaging when traveling, significantly improving portability. The rotating switching method does not require disassembling any parts, reducing the risk of losing parts, lowering later maintenance costs, and further enhancing overall ease of use.
[0020] As a further feature of this embodiment, the cover 1 is provided in two separate configurations, forming a first connecting portion 11 and a second connecting portion 12. The first connecting portion 11 is connected to the second connecting portion 12. A connecting shaft 111 is provided on the first connecting portion 11. A connecting hole is provided on the handle 2. The connecting shaft 111 passes through the connecting hole. A guide post 121 and a positioning hole are provided on the second connecting portion 12 corresponding to the position of the connecting shaft 111. The connecting shaft 111 passes through the guide post 121 and is engaged in the positioning hole. The advantages of this design are as follows: With this design, traditional guards 1 often require tools to pry open when cleaning the gaps in the working head or replacing parts, which can easily damage the connection. However, the split design, with the connecting shaft 111 passing through the connecting hole and engaging with the positioning hole, can be disassembled without tools. Simply hold the first and second connecting parts 12 with one hand and pull them in opposite directions. Once the connecting shaft 111 is disengaged from the positioning hole, the guard 1 can be removed. This allows for more thorough cleaning of residual hair on the blade or dirt on the plucking wheel, making it especially suitable for quick maintenance in the humid environment of a bathroom. It also prevents dirt buildup from affecting use. This integrated structure is also more efficient in production and processing. Split processing reduces the difficulty of integral molding of the U-shaped guard 1, reduces process defects, and facilitates individual inspection of the assembly accuracy of each connecting part, improving the product qualification rate.
[0021] As a further feature of this embodiment, a snap-fit flange is provided in the positioning hole, and two elastic arms 112 are provided at the free end of the connecting shaft 111. Each elastic arm 112 has a locking block 113 at its end for engaging with the snap-fit flange. The advantages of this design are: in traditional fixing methods, screw connections are stable but require tools for disassembly, and ordinary clips are easily loosened by vibration; however, the cooperation between the elastic arms 112 and the snap-fit flange allows for a stable lock-on by the locking block 113, preventing displacement of the cover 1 even when the electric epilator vibrates during operation, thus ensuring epilating accuracy; simultaneously, disassembly requires no tools, simply by pinching the elastic arms 112 with the fingertips to close them, allowing the locking block 113 to disengage from the flange. This is particularly suitable for one-handed operation in a humid bathroom environment, preventing the tool from slipping due to wet hands. The deformable nature of the elastic arm 112 provides a buffering effect, which can offset the impact force caused by misoperation during assembly, reduce the wear of the connecting shaft 111 and the positioning hole, and extend the service life of the component. By finely adjusting the size of the locking block 113 and the flange, multiple locking tightness settings can be designed to suit different users' preferences for the switching resistance of the cover 1. This structure does not require additional fasteners (such as screws and springs), reduces the number of parts, reduces the complexity of production and assembly, avoids the risk of losing small parts, and further improves the ease of use of the product.
[0022] As a further feature of this embodiment, a locking groove 114 is provided on the edge of the first connecting part 11, and a latch 122 is provided on the second connecting part 12. The latch 122 engages with the locking groove 114 to form a fixed connection between the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 12. The advantages of this design are as follows: Traditional split-type cover 1 often relies on screws or glue for fixing, requiring repeated calibration of hole positions, tightening with tools, or waiting for the glue to cure. This is not only time-consuming but also prone to assembly failure due to alignment deviations. However, the latching design of the locking groove 114 and the latch 122 allows for immediate engagement upon alignment. During assembly, simply align the latch 122 of the second connecting part 12 with the locking groove 114 of the first connecting part 11 and press lightly. The latch's elastic deformation will complete the fixation. Workers can operate quickly without professional skills, significantly improving production line efficiency. At the same time, the "click" engagement feedback can intuitively confirm that the assembly is in place, reducing the probability of missing or incorrect assembly. Furthermore, the structure is more stable. The meshing surfaces of the latch 122 and the locking groove 114 can form a bidirectional limit, preventing the cover 1 from loosening due to vibration or collision during use. Compared with screw connections, it is more adaptable to the humid environment of the bathroom and reduces the failure of fixing caused by the corrosion of metal parts.
[0023] As a further feature of this embodiment, the first connecting part 11 has a positioning groove 115 on the edge of the locking groove 114, and the second connecting part 12 has a positioning edge 123, which is inserted into the positioning groove 115. The beneficial effect of this design is that, when assembling the latch 122 and the locking groove 114 alone, the worker needs to repeatedly adjust the angle of the two connecting parts, which can easily cause the latch 122 to jam or be damaged by forced engagement due to misalignment. However, the design of the positioning edge 123 being inserted into the positioning groove 115 can achieve pre-positioning guidance. During assembly, the positioning edge 123 is first embedded into the positioning groove 115, and the position of the latch 122 and the locking groove 114 can be quickly calibrated by the groove edge limit, without the need for repeated visual alignment. The subsequent engagement operation can be completed simultaneously by both hands, improving the assembly error tolerance rate. Even novice workers can achieve alignment and engagement in one go, further shortening the assembly time of a single cover 1. The mating surfaces of the positioning edge 123 and the positioning groove 115 can limit the lateral displacement of the two connecting parts, preventing the buckle 122 from shifting due to the vibration of the handle 2 during use. Combined with the bidirectional limiting of the buckle 122, a double fixation is formed, which also protects the life of the buckle 122. Precise positioning can avoid additional deformation of the buckle 122 due to misalignment, reduce engagement wear, extend the service life of the parts, and accommodate dimensional errors. The positioning groove 115 can accommodate small dimensional deviations of the positioning edge 123, reduce the requirements for production and processing precision, reduce the scrap rate caused by dimensional inconsistencies, and improve production economy.
[0024] As a further feature of this embodiment, the handle 2 is arc-shaped, and the outline of the cover 1 matches the curvature of the handle 2. The advantages of this design are: with a traditional straight handle 2, localized pressure can easily occur on the palm and fingertips, leading to soreness after prolonged use; while the arc-shaped handle 2 conforms to the natural curve of the palm, dispersing hand pressure, especially useful during hair removal when multiple angle adjustments are needed (such as under the armpit). The arc design allows the fingers to naturally conform to the sides of the handle 2, resulting in more even force application and preventing slippage. Simultaneously, the perfect match between the outline of the cover 1 and the curvature of the handle 2 creates a smooth, integrated appearance, avoiding the abrupt gaps at the junction of the traditional separate cover 1 and handle 2, enhancing the product's visual refinement and meeting the aesthetic needs of modern homes.
[0025] The above examples are merely one preferred embodiment of this utility model. Ordinary variations and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of this utility model's technical solution are all included within the protection scope of this utility model.
