A gripping cushion device for enhancing comfort while employing an electric clipper includes a cushion that has a concavely arcuate shape such that the cushion defines a parabola. In this way the cushion can be positioned around a handle of an electric clipper. The cushion is comprised of a resiliently compressible material to enhance comfort for a user employing the electric clipper.

A motion transmission unit for a drive train of a hair cutting appliance includes an input shaft, an eccentric portion, a motion converter, and a tilting lever that engages a driving portion of a blade set. The motion converter is arranged between the input shaft and the tilting lever. The eccentric portion engages a motion converter input interface. A motion converter output interface engages the tilting lever input interface and includes a cylindrical portion defining a cylinder axis parallel to a swivel axis of the tilting lever. A tilting lever output interface includes a head portion defining a cylinder axis parallel to a swivel axis of the tilting lever. The cylinder axis of the head portion and the cylinder axis of the cylindrical portion are parallel to the swivel axis.

A pet shaver includes an outer shell, a cutter head module provided at a top end of the outer shell, an air duct and a connecting device. The outer shell has an accommodating space. A bottom end of the outer shell is connected to the connecting device. A top end of the air duct extends out of the outer shell and provided above the cutter head module, a bottom end of the air duct extends out of the outer shell and is accommodated in the connecting device, and the air duct is communicated with the connecting device.

A hand held personal care device (1) with an operative unit (3) connected to a main housing (2), a light source (24), and an optically transparent light guide (23) having a light receiving surface (27), a light emitting surface (6) and a light guiding member (31) extending from the light receiving surface to the light emitting surface for guiding light from the light receiving surface to the light emitting surface. The light source is arranged in a watertight chamber (51) of the main housing. The main housing includes an optically transparent wall portion (52) arranged adjacent to the light source and bounding the watertight chamber. The light guide is arranged outside the watertight chamber and the light receiving surface is arranged adjacent to the optically transparent wall portion in a position for receiving light from the light source via the optically transparent wall portion.

A shaving system comprises a shaving device and a cleaning device. The shaving device has an orientation sensor for generating an output signal representing the orientation of the shaving device. The cleaning device supports the shaving device in a cleaning position with a predefined cleaning orientation. The cleaning device is controlled to operate according to a predefined cleaning program for cleaning the shaving unit when the orientation sensed by the orientation sensor corresponds to said predefined cleaning orientation. This shaving device thus makes use of an orientation sensor to identify when the shaving device is in a cleaning orientation. This gives a low cost sensing solution and enables a single user input button to be used for operating the shaving device and for starting a cleaning program.

A hair clipper is provided, including a chassis having upper and lower chassis portions defining an enclosed interior chamber, said upper and lower chassis portions configured for being secured together; and an outer housing including upper and lower housing portions constructed and arranged for enclosing the chassis as the housing portions are secured together such that the interior chamber is isolated from the housing.

An electric clipper having a body, a motor disposed within the body, a clipper head that operably couples to the body and that is powered by the motor, a power actuator configured to power on and off the motor such that when the motor is powered on by the power actuator the motor operates at a normal level of performance and at least one boost actuator configured to provide increased operating performance of the clipper head when actuated by a user. By one approach the increased operating performance is provided for only a set amount of time.

An electric-powered trimmer includes a cutting assembly having a stationary blade. A moveable blade is positioned on the stationary blade such that a cutting gap is defined between the moveable blade and the stationary blade. The moveable blade is configured to move along a first axis and a second axis extending orthogonal to the first axis. An adjustment mechanism is operable to move the moveable blade along the second axis relative to the stationary blade to selectively change the size of the cutting gap.

The present invention provides for a shaving device and more specifically, to a portable, conical shaped shaving apparatus with a central element, top and bottom caps, and when assembled, the apparatus is designed to look like a cosmetic container.

A hair clipper includes a clipper body comprising a motor and a blade assembly connected to the clipper body such that the motor moves a moveable blade of the blade assembly during operation. The blade assembly includes a blade housing having a guide surface that faces skin of a patient during operation and a patterned array of ribs that are located on the guide surface defining a guide plane. The ribs of the patterned array of ribs are arranged spaced-apart from one another and are sized to provide a kinetic friction force against dry skin of the patient of less than 1 N using a normal force of 3.5 N.
