HEAD FOR ELECTRICALLY OPERATED TYPE EPILATING DEVICE

Abstract

The present invention relates to an electrically operated type of epilating device, and more particularly to an electrically operated type epilating device that has improved pinching plates and is capable of effectively pinching user's hair by placing an intermediate member having an intermediate pinching plate between the pinching plates. The epilating device comprises a main body housing, a motor, a motor gear, and a driving gear. A head includes a pair of rotating plates being engaged and rotated with the driving gear; a plurality of sets of epilating units being arranged between the rotating plates, each epilating unit including first pinching plate having three wing portions formed to be protruded outwardly and a through-hole at center portion thereof, a second pinching plate having the same construction that of the first pinching plate, and an intermediate member being arranged between the first pinching plate and the second pinching plates; first pusher members pressing inwardly the first pinching plates; second pusher members being arranged to be overlapped with lower portions of the first push members and pressing the second pinching plates in opposing direction to the first pinching plates; first and second rollers for pressing in opposing directions; a pair of fixing plates for rotatably installing the rollers; and a fixing lever for preventing the fixing plate from rotating.

An electrically operated type epilating device, comprising: a main body housing for containing a motor;a head fixing case being mounted to an upper portion of the main body housing for fixing a head, and being opened inwardly to expose the head at top thereof;a motor gear being rotated by the motor;an intermediate gear being engaged with the motor gear; anda driving gear being engaged and rotated with the intermediate gear, wherein,the head A includes:a pair of rotating plates having teeth engaged and rotated with the driving gear at outer periphery thereof, a hollow shaft at center portion thereof into which a center rod is inserted and passing through it, and through-holes drilled at interval of 60° around a center of the hollow shaft;a plurality of epilating units being arranged between the rotating plates, wherein each epilating unit having a first pinching plate having a first through-hole at center portion thereof into which the center rod is inserted, three wing portions formed to be protruded outwardly at the first pinching plate at interval of 120° around the through-hole and a second through-hole drilled at a center of the wing portions, a second pinching plate having the same shape with the first pinching plate, and an intermediate member being arranged between the first pinching plate and the second pinching plate;a first pusher member being in turn fitted into the rotating plates and the epilating units, and pressing inwardly the first pinching plates;a second pusher member being arranged to be overlapped with lower portions of the first push members, and being fitted in turn into the rotating plates and the epilating unit, pressing the second pinching plates in opposing direction to the first pinching plates;a roller for inwardly pressing the first push members and the second pusher members;a pair of fixing plates having roller installation holes for installing the rollers rotatably, and being fixed at ends of the center rod; anda fixing lever for pressing the fixing plates from outside in order to prevent the fixing plate from rotating, and being inserted and fixed into the head fixing case.

2. The electrically operated type epilating device according to claim 1, wherein the intermediate members being produced by insert injection molding and including an intermediate pinching plates having the same shape and orientation as those of the first pinching plate and the second pinching plate, and a plastic body surrounding a central portion of the intermediate pinching plate from outside and being provided with protruding portions only between wing portions of the intermediate pinching plate to expose the wing portions, a central portion and the protruding portions of the plastic body being formed with through-holes.

3. The electrically operated type epilating device according to claim 1, wherein the first pusher members being formed by rod member of rectangle cross-section, and including a plurality of recesses being formed at a top surface of the first pusher members at regular interval in a longitudinal direction thereof, and wherein the second pusher members having central portions concavely curved in a longitudinal direction thereof such that the first push members are overlapped thereon from upper side, and including a plurality of recesses having the same length, depth, size and position with those of the recesses of the first push members and being formed at regular interval along a longitudinal direction of the second pusher members at both ends of the second pusher members.

4. The electrically operated type epilating device according to claim 2, wherein the first pusher members being formed by rod member of rectangle cross-section, and including a plurality of recesses being formed at a top surface of the first pusher members at regular interval in a longitudinal direction thereof, and wherein the second pusher members having central portions concavely curved in a longitudinal direction thereof such that the first push members are overlapped thereon from upper side, and including a plurality of recesses having the same length, depth, size and position with those of the recesses of the first push members and being formed at regular interval along a longitudinal direction of the second pusher members at both ends of the second pusher members.
