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.

A hair cutter with an energy storage device is provided. The energy storage device is connected to the motor through a circuit that powers the motor to oscillate a translating blade over a stationary blade. When the hair cutter is operating the energy storage device is discharged. When the energy storage device is completely discharged, the hair cutter is recharged, for example, by connecting the hair cutter to a power outlet. The electrical circuit connects the energy storage device to a voltage and/or current input to charge the energy storage device. The electrical circuit may also transform the input. For example, the circuit may transform an AC input (e.g., 120V, 12 A) to a DC input (e.g., 4.7V-5.5V, 2.5 A) when the energy storage device is a supercapacitor.

A blade cartridge for a wet shave razor includes multiple blades that are electrically connected in series to a power source, such as a battery power source, wherein the blades are heated as a result of electrical resistance created by the electric current flow through the blades. The electric current flow through the blades creates a magnetic field around each of the blades, which is opposite in polarity to adjacent blades due to the blades being electrically connected in series, wherein current flow is in opposite direction in each adjacently positioned blade. A method of vibrating the blades includes the step of rapidly alternating direction of current flow to change the polarity of electric fields around each blade to cause momentary attraction between adjacent blades in rapid impulses (e.g., 700 hz to 75 khz) that results in vibration of the blades.

The present invention relates to cutting body hair such as beard stubbles of multidays' beard. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of cooperating cutting elements with two rows of comb-like cutting teeth at opposite edges thereof.

A cordless animal shearing/clipping device is disclosed. The cordless shear/clipper includes a shear portion and a handle portion. The shear portion includes a shear or clipping head interface that allows for an interchangeable shear/clipper head to be coupled to the shear head interface. The handle portion includes a motor casing, a switch, and a battery slide. This design allows for easy, safe, and efficient shearing of animal fibers in any location.

A foam dispensing electric shaver apparatus for conveniently dispensing shaving foam includes a handle body having an insert cavity with a feed aperture extending through to an inner compartment. A foam insert is electively engageable within the insert cavity. A shaver is coupled to the handle body and comprises a neck coupled to a neck aperture, a head coupled to the neck, and a set of blades coupled to the head. A motor is coupled within the inner compartment and is powered by a rechargeable battery to drive the set of blades. A foam dispenser has a pump adjacent the insert cavity and a spout extending through the front side of the handle body. A dispense button coupled to the handle body activates the pump to draw foam from the foam insert and release it through a distal end of the spout.

The present invention relates to electric appliances for personal care, in particular electric shavers, comprising a magnetic linear drive unit having first and second drive components supported for linear displacement relative to each other by a spring device and adapted to magnetically interact with each other. Said spring device includes a ring element made in one piece from plastic including at least one pair of leaf springs and a pair of cross-bars extending crosswise to said leaf springs and connecting said leaf springs to each other.

A staggered multilayer trimming head installed at a front end of an electric haircutter includes a bottom plate, a fixed blade, a moving knife module and a moving swing block. The moving knife module has a first moving knife and at least one second moving knife; an adjusting lever is coupled to the second moving knife for adjusting the position of the second moving knife with respect to the first moving knife quickly, and the moving knife module is coupled to a motor of the electric haircutter with power connection through the moving swing block. In a cutting/shearing operation, the adjustable moving blade allows the cutting and shearing to be adjusted to a single cutting and shearing track or a multiple of tracks, so as to complete various haircutting effects quickly without changing the operator's original operating habit and improve the haircutting efficiency and quality significantly.
