Adjustable blade assembly having magnetic tensioning
A hair clipper or cutter is provided with an adjustment slider that adjusts the gap between an inner and outer blade. A yoke is attached to the inner blade. The adjustment slider may be configured with preset gap lengths and may be adjustable before, after, or during a hair cutting operation. A T-guide couples the adjustment slider to the inner blade to slidably move the inner blade relative to the outer blade. The yoke, inner blade, outer blade and/or T-guide may be magnetized to create an attractive or repulsive force between the inner blade and the outer blade.

TRIMMER HEAD FOR PEN-SHAPED EYEBROW TRIMMER
A trimmer head for pen-shaped eyebrow trimmer, including a cylindrical trimmer head body, the trimmer head body is provided with a blade, the trimmer head and handle can form an eyebrow trimmer with a pen-shaped structure. The blade is a curved arc-shaped structure, and blade edge at the upper end is arc-shaped; by placing the upper end of blade on upper end face of trimmer head body, the trimmer head can move perpendicular to the skin or inclined at a certain angle with the direction perpendicular to the skin when shaving, combined with the inclined setting of the blade relative to axis L of the trimmer head body to form an inclined cutting angle to ensure sharpness of cutting. To improve the flexibility and controllability of eyebrow trimming, the blade with arc-shaped structure can effectively control the shaving of concave and convex parts, as to accurately trim and shape eyebrows.
STATION FOR ELECTRIC HAIR CUTTING DEVICES
A station for maintaining and electrically charging electric hair cutting devices has a housing with first and second sections and an internal space within the housing below the sections. The first section has multiple electrical charging docks which are affixed to that section, each of the charging docks being dedicated and configured to electrically charge a specific manufacturer's electric hair cutting device. The second section has multiple through openings, each of the through openings being configured to accept and circumscribe, a separable, removeable, independent charging dock of a manufacturer's electric hair cutting device. The internal space of the housing contains one or more electrical power strips with electrical wires which exit the housing and are configured to be connected to an electrical power source for supplying electricity to the charging docks.
ELECTRIC GROOMING DEVICE
An electric grooming appliance includes a housing, a grooming device, an electric motor, and a controller. In some embodiments, the electric grooming appliance is capable of operating in different modes and includes a user interface which allows a user to communicate with the controller and select at least one of the modes. The electric grooming appliance may provide information to the user relating to information determined and/or detected during a grooming session. In addition, the electric grooming appliance may record or store grooming session information on a memory and estimate future operating parameters based on the grooming session information. The electric grooming appliance may include a trimmer assembly that is positionable between a stowed position and an operative position.
ELECTRIC GROOMING APPLIANCE INCLUDING MAGNETIC COUPLING SYSTEM
A handheld grooming appliance includes a housing defining a handle, a head, and an interior space. The handheld grooming appliance further includes a grooming device operatively connected to a motor and supported by the head of the housing. The handheld grooming appliance also includes a magnetic coupling system configured to releasably attach the grooming device to the housing. The magnetic coupling system includes at least one first magnet located on the grooming device and at least one second magnet located on the housing. The first magnet and the second magnet provide an attractive force to secure the grooming device to the housing during operation of the handheld grooming appliance. The magnetic coupling system is arranged to allow selective detachment of the grooming device from the housing when a user applies a force greater than the attractive force between the first and second magnets.
Electric shaver with imaging capability
System and method for improving the shaving experience by providing improved visibility of the skin shaving area. A digital camera is integrated with the electric shaver for close image capturing of shaving area, and displaying it on a display unit. The display unit can be integral part of the electric shaver casing, or housed in a separated device which receives the image via a communication channel. The communication channel can be wireless (using radio, audio or light) or wired, such as dedicated cabling or using powerline communication. A light source is used to better illuminate the shaving area. Video compression and digital image processing techniques are used for providing for improved shaving results. The wired communication medium can simultaneously be used also for carrying power from the electric shaver assembly to the display unit, or from the display unit to the electric shaver.
Grooming Device
A grooming device having a base plate, a reciprocating plate, and a biasing mechanism. The base plate includes a plurality of grooves configured for guiding hair into a plurality of grooves of the reciprocating plate. The grooves of the reciprocating plate are disposed in sliding abutment with the grooves of the base plate and are configured as cutting edges for shearing or cutting the hair extending through the grooves of the base plate.
SHAVING APPARATUS WITH AN ADJUSTABLE SETTING
A shaving apparatus (1) having a first shaving unit portion (7) connected to a main housing (2) and accommodating a single driven input member (9) rotatable about an axis of rotation. A second shaving unit portion (8) of the shaving apparatus has a hair-cutting unit (12) and a drive unit (13) which transmits a driving force from the single driven input member to an internal cutting member (19) of the hair-cutting unit. The second shaving unit portion is manually rotatable relative to the first shaving unit portion about the axis of rotation of the single driven input member. An adjustment system (24) has a sensing unit (28, 29) configured to have an output property which varies with the angular position of the second shaving unit portion relative to the first shaving unit portion about the rotational axis. The adjustment system adjusts an operational parameter of the shaving apparatus in dependence on the output property of the sensing unit.
HAIR CLIPPER HAVING A MAGNETIC DOOR
A hair cutting device includes a cutting head having a moveable trimmer blade and a stationary trimmer blade, a collection chamber beneath the moveable trimmer blade and the stationary trimmer blade for collecting hairs cut by the moveable trimmer blade and the stationary trimmer blade, and a cover enclosing the collection chamber, the cover being removably connected to the cutting head via a magnetic interface.
