CLEANING DEVICE FOR AN ELECTRICAL HAIR REMOVING APPARATUS

摘要

A cleaning device for an electrical hair removing apparatus is capable of being stored in a compact profile. The apparatus has an operator head at its top, and is formed on its bottom with an electric terminal (16) for receiving an external signal that controls the apparatus. The cleaning device includes a basin (50) for receiving the operator head of the apparatus and also includes a control circuit providing the external signal. The device has a tank (80) storing a volume of a cleaning liquid, and a circulator (70) configured to supply the cleaning liquid into the basin from the tank for cleaning the operator head. A stand (100) is provided on the device to hold the apparatus upside down with the operator head disposed within the basin (50). The stand (100) is formed at its top end with a header carrying contacts which are connected to the terminal on the bottom of the apparatus. The stand (100) is composed of a fixed support (110) and a movable arm (120) which extends from the support and is formed at its top with the header. The arm (120) is movable relative to the support (110) between an extended position where the header is around the bottom of the apparatus and a retracted position where the header is lowered than at the extended position in the absence of the apparatus. Accordingly, the whole height of the stand can be reduced when the apparatus is detached from the device so that the device can be made into a low profile structure sufficient to be stored in compact.
