Description

Facial treatment appliance having a treatment brush which is drivable with respect to an axis
The invention relates to a facial treatment appliance as defined in the opening part of claim 1.
The invention further relates to a treatment brush as defined in the opening part of claim 9.
A facial treatment appliance as defined in the opening part of claim 1 and a treatment brush as defined in the opening part of claim 9 are known, for example from the patent document US 4,203,431 A. In the embodiment disclosed in the patent document US 4,203,431 A all the bristles of the treatment brush have the same length, which means that the free ends of the bristles define a plane enveloping surface. During use of such a facial treatment appliance having a treatment brush a situation which occurs very frequently is that, in addition, a cream-like treating substance is used for the facial treatment. Such a cream-like treating substance is then applied to the facial skin to be treated either directly or by means of the treatment brush. In the case that the treatment brush is implemented as disclosed in the patent document US 4,203,431 A the problem arises that, as a result of the application of the bristles of the treatment brush to the facial skin to be treated, the cream-like treating substance is pressed from the free ends of the bristles along the bristles towards the bristle holder, which has the undesired effect that a far too small portion of the cream-like treating substance is applied to the facial skin to be treated, as a result of which the actual purpose of the treating substance cannot be achieved, i.e. an additional treatment during the interaction of the bristles of the treatment brush with the facial skin.
It is an object of the invention to preclude the afore-mentioned problems and to realize an improved facial treatment appliance and an improved treatment brush.
In order to achieve this object a facial treatment appliance as defined in the opening part of claim 1 in addition has the characteristic features defined in the characterizing part of claim 1. Furthermore, in order to achieve the afore-mentioned object a treatment brush as defined in the opening part of claim 9 in addition has the characteristic features defined in the characterizing part of claim 9.
As a result of the provision of the characteristic features in accordance with the invention it is achieved in a simple manner that a cream-like treating substance can be introduced into the at least one take-up zone of the treatment brush, which zone is disposed in the area of the free ends of the bristles. After such an introduction of the treating substance into the at least one take-up zone the treatment brush may be applied with its bristles to the facial skin to be treated, the contact between the bristles of the treatment brush and the facial skin to be treated being mainly provided by the longer bristles and only a comparatively low pressure being exerted on the treating substance in the take-up zone, as a result of which the treating substance is not pressed towards the bristle holder or only to an insignificant extent and consequently remains almost wholly in the proximity of the facial skin to be treated. A further advantage is that the undesired penetration of the treating substance into the bristle area in the proximity of the bristle holder is precluded or at least reduced significantly and, in this way, the undesired soiling of the bristles is avoided or at least reduced significantly.
In a facial treatment appliance in accordance with the invention and in treatment brush in accordance with the invention the treatment brush may be provided with dome-shaped projections with respect to the enveloping surface defined by the free ends of the bristles, in which case the zones situated between the dome-shaped projections each form a take-up zone for taking up a cream-like treating substance. However, it has proved to be very advantageous when a facial treatment appliance in accordance with the invention and a treatment brush in accordance with the invention in addition have the characteristic features defined in claim 2 and claim 10. Such an embodiment is advantageous because such an embodiment can be manufactured comparatively simply and cheaply. Moreover, such an embodiment has also proved to be advantageous in view of a maximal retention and delivery time of a treating substance.
In an embodiment having at least one take-up zone in the form of a recess it has proved to be advantageous when, in addition, the characteristic features defined in, respectively, claim 3 and claim 11 are provided. Such an embodiment is very advantageous because it enables a uniformly divided take-up and application of a treating substance to be obtained.
However, in an embodiment having at least one take-up zone in the form of a recess it has also proved to be very advantageous when, in addition, the characteristic features defined in, respectively, claim 4 and claim 12 are provided. Such an embodiment guarantees a uniformly divided take-up and application of a cream-like treating substance.
Moreover, such an embodiment has the advantage that it can be manufactured in a particularly simple and cheap manner. In an embodiment having at least one take-up zone in the form of a recess it has further proved to be advantageous when, in addition, the characteristic features defined in, respectively, claim 5 and claim 13 are provided. This results in a channel-like recess of optimum length.
In an embodiment having at least one take-up zone in the form of a recess it has further proved to be very advantageous when, in addition, the characteristic features defined in, respectively, claim 6 and claim 14 are provided. Such an embodiment also provides a uniform take-up and application of a cream-like treating substance and can also be manufactured in a simple and cheap manner.
Furthermore, it has also proved to be very advantageous when an embodiment having at least one take-up zone in the form of a channel-like recess, in addition, has the characteristic features defined in, respectively, claims 7 and 8 and in claims 15 and 16. These embodiments are advantageous because in these embodiments an undesired expulsion of a cream-like treating substance from the channel-like recesses in radial directions is precluded or at least reduced distinctly. The above-mentioned as well as further aspects of the invention will become apparent from the embodiments described hereinafter by way of example and will be elucidated with reference to these examples.
The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the drawings, which shows some embodiments given by way of example but to which the invention is not limited.

Fig. 7 shows, in a manner similar to Figs. 2, 3, 5 and 6, a treatment brush in accordance with a fifth embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 8 shows, in a manner similar to Figs. 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7, a treatment brush in accordance with a sixth embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 9 shows, in a manner similar to Figs. 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8, a treatment brush in accordance with an seventh embodiment of the invention. Fig. 10 is a diagrammatic oblique view which shows a treatment brush in accordance with an eighth embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view which shows two treatment brushes in accordance with a ninth and a tenth embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 12 shows, in a manner similar to Fig. 11, a treatment brush in accordance with an eleventh embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 1 shows a facial treatment appliance 1, hereinafter briefly referred to as the appliance 1. The appliance 1 has a housing 2 to be held in a hand and consisting of a main section 3 and a closing section 4. The housing 2 accommodates a driving arrangement 5. The driving arrangement 5 serves to drive a treatment brush 6. The driving arrangement 5 includes a motor 7, a pinion 8, which is mounted on a shaft 9 of the motor 7, and a crown wheel 10, which meshes with the pinion 8 and which is rotationally locked to a drive shaft 11, which is rotatably journalled in a manner not shown. The treatment brush 6 is drivable by means of the drive shaft 11.
The treatment brush 6 has a disc-shaped bristle holder 12, which is coaxial with a brush axis 13 of the treatment brush 6, which brush axis 13 is coaxial with the drive shaft 11. A drive sleeve 14 is integral with the bristle holder 12. The drive sleeve 14 projects towards the drive shaft 11. The drive sleeve 14 is coupled to the drive shaft 11 by coupling means, not shown. The coupling means may be formed by, for example, an interlocked coupling. In this way, it is achieved that the treatment brush 6 can be removed from the drive shaft 8, for example to clean the treatment brush 6 or to replace the treatment brush 6 with another treatment brush. In the present case, the treatment brush 6 can be driven by means of the driving arrangement 5 so as to be rotatable with respect to the brush axis 13, i.e. always in the same direction of rotation. However, it is alternatively possible to choose a construction in which the treatment brush 6 performs a reciprocatory swinging movement or rotation with respect to the brush axis 13. The treatment brush 6 has bristles 15 which are held by the bristle holder 12 and which project from the bristle holder 12, the bristles 15 being combined to form tufts 16, as is known per se since long from various forms of brushes. The bristles 15 are not shown separately in the Figures but are always shown in the form of tufts 16 only. The free ends of the bristles 15 or the tufts 16 define an enveloping surface 17, shown as a dash-dot line in Fig. 1. In the case of the treatment brush 6 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the enveloping surface 17 is formed by an enveloping plane.
In the case of the treatment brush 6 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the peripheral tufts 16 are uniformly spaced along a circle 18. The tufts 16 adjacent the axes of symmetry x and y are each situated on two straight lines yl, y2 and xl, x2 parallel to the axes of symmetry x and y. The other tufts 16, which are arranged between the tufts 16 situated on the circle 18 and the tufts 16 situated on the straight lines yl, y2, xl, x2, are also uniformly spaced.
As is apparent from Figs. 1 and 2, the lengths of the bristles 15 and tufts 16 situated on the straight lines xl and x2 parallel to the axis of symmetry y in the treatment brush 6 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 are shorter, which is indicated by the blackened tufts 16 in Fig. 2. As a result of this configuration of the treatment brush 6 it is achieved that in the area of the free ends of its bristles 15 the treatment brush 6 has a take-up zone 19 which serves and is adapted to take up a substantially cream-like treating substance. As can be seen in Fig. 1, the length of the bristles 15 and tufts 16 which end in the take-up zone 19 is smaller than the length of the bristles 15 and tufts 16 which end outside the take-up zone 19. The take-up zone 19 is formed by a channel-like recess 19 with respect to the enveloping surface 17, which recess extends diametrically with respect to the bristle holder 12.
In the treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 3 the peripheral tufts 16 are also uniformly spaced along a circle 18. However, the tufts adjacent the axes of symmetry x and y are arranged along four straight lines yl, y2, y3, y4 and xl, x2, x3, x4 and are uniformly spaced. In each of the four remaining circular sectors only one tuft 16 is arranged. In the treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 3 the tufts 16 which are disposed on the four straight lines xl, x2, x3, x4 which extend parallel to the axis of symmetry y are shorter, as a result of which a channel-like recess 19 is formed at the location of these tufts 16, which recess has a greater width than the channel-like recess 19 of the treatment brush 6 shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
The treatment brush 6 shown in Figs. 4 and 5 has two intersecting channel-like recesses 19 and 20.
The treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 6 has a peripheral bristle ring 21 whose tufts 16 are uniformly spaced along the circle 18 and whose tufts 16 all have the same length, i.e. the greater length, which all the tufts 16 situated adjacent the channel-like recess 19 have. As a result of this configuration it is achieved that in the treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 6 the channel-like recess 19 ends before the peripheral bristle ring 21.
The treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 7 is similar to the treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 6 but in the treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 7 the length of the channel-like recess 19 is smaller than in the treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 6.
The treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 8 has a configuration with two channellike recesses 19 and 20 which intersect one another and which end before the peripheral bristle ring 21.
The treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 9 has only one channel-shaped recess 19 whose width corresponds to the width of the channel-shaped recess of the treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 3. The channel-shaped recess 19 of the treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 9 ends before the peripheral bristle ring 21.
Fig. 10 shows a treatment brush 6 having a plurality of bowl-like recesses 22. Each of these bowl-like recesses 22 can be used as a take-up zone for taking up a cream-like treating substance.
In the case of the treatment brushes 6 shown in Figs. 1 to 10 it is assumed that the tufts 16 have a substantially cylindrical shape. Fig. 11 shows two structures of treatment brushes 6 in which the tufts 16 are not cylindrical but have a shape which widens towards the free ends of the tufts 16. The left-hand part of Fig. 11 shows a treatment brush 6 in which the enveloping surface 17 is formed by a plane enveloping surface. The right-hand part of Fig. 11 shows a treatment brush 6 in which the enveloping surface 17 has a concave shape. The two treatment brushes 6 shown in Fig. 11 have a plurality of bowl-like recesses 22 as take-up zones for taking up a cream-like treating substance. Fig. 12 diagrammatically shows a further treatment brush 6. In the treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 12 the free ends of the bristles 15 and the tufts 16 define a plane enveloping surface 17. The treatment brush 6 shown in Fig. 12 has dome-like projecting portions 23 in the areas of the free ends of the tufts 16, which portions project beyond the enveloping surface 17. In the present embodiment the take-up zones 24 for taking up a cream-like treating substance are formed by the zones situated between the projecting portions 23 of the treatment brush 6.
In all the treatment brushes 6 described hereinbefore at least one take-up zone 19, 20, 22, 24 is provided in the areas of the free ends of the bristles 15, i.e. the tufts 16, which zones serve to take up a cream-like treating substance and to hold this substance for at least a treatment period during a treatment process.
