The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of comb-like cutting elements with cooperating toothed cutting edges and movably supported relative to each other by a support element, wherein lateral ends of at least one of said cutting elements are provided with lateral protection elements having rounded and/or chamfered edge contours for soft skin engagement, wherein said lateral protection element is enveloping and covering a gap movably receiving the other cutting element and/or enveloping the support element.

The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of comb-like cutting elements each with at least one row of cutting teeth and movable relative to each other, wherein at least one row of cooperating cutting teeth define a convex or concave skin contact surface when viewed in a cross-sectional plane parallel to a reciprocating direction of the cutting teeth and perpendicular to said skin contact surface.

An electric hair clipper comprises a blade and a casing, consisting of an upper shell, a lower shell and a screen removable from the lower shell to leave the blade in evidence.

An electric hair clipper comprises a blade and a casing, consisting of an upper shell, a lower shell and a screen removable from the lower shell to leave the blade in evidence.

A hair clipper with blade angle adjustment is provided, including a clipper housing defining a longitudinal axis and a cutting end, a clipper bladeset operationally connected to the cutting end and including a stationary blade and a moving blade configured for reciprocating laterally relative to the stationary blade. A cam follower is connected to the bladeset and associated with the clipper housing for rotation about a rotation axis relative to the clipper housing, and a bladeset angle control is associated with the clipper housing. A power transmission is member associated with the clipper housing, connected to the cam follower and constructed and arranged so that user manipulation of the bladeset angle control causes linear movement of the power transmission member and associated angular movement of the bladeset through rotation of the cam follower.

The present invention is directed to a hair cutting apparatus (600), such as a shaver, which is enabled to detect whether hair is currently being cut in a robust way. Such apparatus has a motor (102) for driving a cutting element. The motor current (106) is evaluated by filtering and amplifying it in such a way that a time derivative of the motor current (106) is processed and other parts of the motor current (106), such as noise and DC-5 parts, are eliminated. An evaluator determines whether the time derivative of the motor current is above a predefined threshold value.

A personal care device, in particular skin treatment device such as electric shaver, including an elongated handle for manually moving the personal care device along a body surface, a working head attached to said handle for effecting a personal care treatment to said body surface, at least one detector for detecting at least one behavioral parameter indicative of a user's behavior when handling the personal care device, and an adjusting mechanism for adjusting at least one working parameter of the working head in response to the detected behavioral parameter.

An electrically operable clipper has a body portion and a head portion, wherein the head portion includes a movable cutter and a fixed comb. The clipper includes an internally located electric motor operable to move the movable cutter. The clipper further includes an operating switch movable between an off position, an operating position and a reset position, wherein the reset position operates a motor reset module of the clipper.

A rotary electric shaver has a new structure which compatibly achieves both a function of the rotary electric shaver allowing a user to have less tingling feel on the skin and a function of a reciprocating electric shaver enabling easy deep shaving of hair, by replacing a first head. A rotary electric shaver includes a main body having a drive shaft and a connection part, a first head having a built-in first transmission drive system connected to the drive shaft to rotate a first inner blade, and detachably connected to the connection part, and a second head detachably connected to the connection part from which the first head is removed. The second head has a built-in second transmission drive system connected to the drive shaft to cause the second inner blade to reciprocate.
