A handheld personal care device according to the present disclosure includes: an operation switch configured to change a treatment operation of an operation unit; a sensor electrode configured to cause a change in capacitance depending on whether or not the grip unit is grasped; and a control device electrically connected to the operation switch and the sensor electrode and configured to control the treatment operation of the operation unit. The control device includes: a grasp detector configured to detect that the grip unit is grasped based on a change in capacitance of the sensor electrode; and a change permission part configured to permit the operation switch to change the treatment operation of the operation unit when the change permission part receives, from the grasp detector, grasp information indicating that the grip unit is grasped.

A hair grooming device includes a body having a lower housing and a removable cover, the lower housing defining a substantially hollow cavity. The lower housing is formed of a first material. A liner is received by the lower housing in the cavity. The liner is formed of a second material, the second material is different than the first material.

An adjustment drive for an adjustable spacing comb for a hair cutting appliance includes an actuator configured to actuate a movable comb portion of the adjustable spacing comb with respect to a blade set of the hair cutting appliance, and a drivetrain for coupling the actuator and the movable comb portion. The drivetrain includes a reduction gear unit and a location detection unit having a rotary encoder which is coupled to an output shaft of the reduction gear unit.

Disclosed is a hair clipper for cutting and trimming the hair of humans or animals. The hair clipper includes a hair clipper case, blade assembly and a motor drivingly coupled to the blade. The hair clipper includes a first and second fan that blows air over the motor to cool the motor so that the hair clipper does not get hot to the touch. The hair clipper also includes an ergonomically designed case that helps the barber or hair stylist hold, grip and easily maneuver the hair clipper. The hair clipper also includes a power cord with a power converter in the plug end of the power cord. Power cord collects 120 Volts AC power from a wall socket, and conducts both 120 volt AC power and 5 volt DC power to the hair clipper. Both 120 volt AC power to motor and 5 volt DC power to cooling fans have separate off and on switches that regulates power, which allows the fans to run separate from motor.

In certain embodiments, a personal care device can include a housing, a functional assembly attached to the housing, a motor disposed within the housing and operatively connected to the functional assembly to move one or more components of the functional assembly, and a switch configured to move between at least two states.

The present application relates to a hair trimming device (10). The hair trimming device has a body (11) with a cutting blade assembly (20). A cutting guide (40) is provided on the body and the position of the cutting guide is adjustable relative to the cutting blade assembly to provide a cutting distance from a user's skin to enable hair to be cut to a desired length. A locking unit (60) is also provided to lock the cutting guide at a desired position relative to the cutting blade assembly. The locking unit comprises a first locking element (64), a second locking element (65) and at least one receiving recess (83). The first and second locking elements are alternately locatable in the or one of the receiving recesses when the position of the cutting guide is adjusted relative to the cutting blade assembly to lock the cutting guide at different positions.

Electric shaver provided with at least one cutter unit, a drive unit for driving said at least one cutter unit and a display device for displaying information, wherein said drive unit, when being active, is operable in different operation modes, wherein a mode input element is provided for switching the drive unit into different operation modes.

In an electric handheld hair trimmer and method of operating the same, at least one of a first blade and a second blade of a blade assembly is operatively connected to a motor for driven movement in a working direction. An actuator is movable relative to the housing and operatively connected to at least one of the first blade and the second blade. The actuator is operable independent of the motor to move the at least one of the first blade and the second blade in one of: a) the working direction, b) a direction other than the working direction and to an extent that the first and second blades are rendered inoperable for trimming hair, c) a direction in which the first and second blades are separated from each other, and d) combinations thereof.

The present invention relates to a beard trimmer having a handle and a cover, as well as a cutting system with one or more vertical axis rotary cutting heads, said rotary cutting heads having a moving blade and a fixed blade, each head being surrounded by a crown-shaped comb, said comb being adjustable in height in order to adjust, in use, the distance between said blades and the skin, and thereby to adapt the cutting of the beard to the desired length, characterized in that the cover is movably mounted between a closed position and an open position on said handle such that the cover can be moved from an open position to a protection position where it is flush with the comb tines in order to store the device.

Multipurpose personal care appliance to which different types of tooling elements such as a long-hair cutter, a short-hair cutter and a skincare unit can be attached.
