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.

The charging stand for a care apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a fifth terminal connected to a first terminal, a sixth terminal aligned with the fifth terminal and electrically connected to a second terminal, a first cover having a cylindrical shape that stores the first terminal, a second cover having a cylindrical shape that stores the second terminal, a fifth cover having a cylindrical shape that stores the fifth terminal, and a sixth cover having a cylindrical shape that stores the sixth terminal. A shape of an input connecting portion formed by the fifth cover and the sixth cover is different from a shape of an output connecting portion formed by the first cover and the second cover.

The care unit according the present disclosure includes a care apparatus that includes a storage battery and a charging stand that is electrically connected to the care apparatus, and the care unit includes a first terminal, a second terminal, a third terminal, a fourth terminal, a first cover, a second cover, a third cover, and a fourth cover. When the care apparatus is held in a predetermined position of the charging stand, the third cover is not in contact with the first cover in a radial direction orthogonal to an insertion direction of the first cover, and the fourth cover is not in contact with the second cover in a radial direction orthogonal to an insertion direction of the second cover.

The present invention is concerned with an electrically operable hair removing device, such as a shaver comprising a housing, an energy source located in the housing, at least one hair removal unit and at least one electrically operated equipment, like a light source, which is movable relative to the housing. During its use, the at least one electrically operated equipment is not directly connected to the energy source located in the housing.

Surgical clipper blade assemblies with hydrophobic coating layers and methods of use for hair removal from a skin area include using a surgical clipper blade assembly including a blade, a top surface, a bottom surface, a plurality of sidewalls disposed and extending between the top surface and the bottom surface, and an aperture configured to receive the blade, and a hydrophobic coating layer disposed on at least a portion of a top skin facing surface comprising the top surface and the blade. The surgical clipper blade assembly may include a plurality of ribs on the top surface, and the portion of the top skin facing surface may include the top surface, the blade, the plurality of ribs, or combinations thereof. During operation of the blade to remove hair from the skin area, the hydrophobic coating layer reduces friction forces and prevents risk of skin abrasions.

A personal care product having a handle is provided. The handle has a handle resting plane and at least one docking magnet positioned within an end portion. The docking magnet has an axis of polarity that intersects the handle resting plane at an included angle of less than 35 degrees.

A drive cap uses snap fasteners to couples with the housing. The drive cap uses joining structures, such as protrusions and recesses, to align with the upper and lower housings. Once correctly aligned, snap fasteners enable a snug fit and enhance the fit and finish of the hair clippers. The snap fasteners can be located on an inner surface of the drive cap, inner housing assembly, and/or upper housing assembly. A snap detent is located on the inner surface of an adjacent surface to receive the snap fastener. Using a combination of protrusions, extensions, voids, and recesses, in addition to the snap fasteners ensures a secure fit for the drive cap between the upper and lower housings. The snap fasteners couple the drive cap to upper and lower housings seamlessly along the outer surface of the hair clippers and facilitate quick release of the drive cap for maintenance or cleaning.

An appliance charging stand is provided, including a housing with an upper portion defining a receptacle for an appliance, a base connected to the upper portion and having a peripheral edge. A swiveling jack defines a power cord connection socket and is rotatably secured between the upper portion and the base to swivel about a vertical axis between a first position and a second position.
