A shaving unit and/or electric shaver having a lighting module for providing an optical heating function at a skin-contacting surface of the shaving unit. At least one aspect of the invention relates to an encapsulation arrangement for components of the lighting module by means of a potting material which encapsulates, on both an upper and lower side, a carrier to which lighting elements are mounted.

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 clipper blade protector enabling a user to enclose and protect the blades and teeth of clipper devices by incorporating a sheath body, a volume of cushion material, and a blade-receiving concavity. The sheath body extends between a cover end and an opening, wherein the blade-receiving cavity is formed within the sheath body between the opening and the cover end. The volume of cushion material is externally distributed along the sheath body between the cover end and the opening, thereby cushioning any external impacts against the enclosed portion of the clipper device. This protection is proposed to prevent breakage of the blades and teeth of the clipper device, saving both time and money in avoided replacements costs and maintenance.

A cutting unit having a blade carrier carrying a cutting blade, and a guard. The guard includes a blade-facing surface engaging the cutting blade at a cut location, a planar guard contact surface for contacting the user's skin, where the guard contact surface is angled with respect to the blade-facing surface, and a guard extender separate from the guard. The guard extender includes a planar extension contact surface cooperating with the guard contact surface to provide an extended contact zone across the guard and the guard extender for contacting a user's skin. The blade-facing surface and the guard contact surface converge towards a tip of the guard, such that a cutting direction extends along the guard contact surface towards the tip. The extended contact zone may provide for improved stability and reliable orientation of the cutting unit for cutting while limiting material use.

For releasably coupling a body and a head of a personal care appliance, a coupling assembly is provided which comprises a coupling element and a retaining member. One of the coupling element and the retaining member comprises at least one cam element (55) and another of the coupling element and the retaining member comprises at least one notch (46). Both the cam element (55) and the notch (46) have two oppositely sloped surfaces (48; 57). In a coupled position of the coupling assembly, the cam element (55) and the notch (46) only contact each other at two sides through their sloped surfaces (48; 57) at the position of a contact portion (55a) at a base of the cam element (55) and an associated contact portion (46a) of the notch (46) at an open side of the notch (46).

In accordance with objects of the invention, a blade adapter operable for attaching a blade assembly to an electric trimmer is provided. The blade adapter includes a base. A first plurality of holes is defined by the base and is operable to receive screws screwed into the electric trimmer. A second plurality of holes is defined by the base and is operable to receive and secure trimmer screws screwed through a static cutting blade of a blade assembly into the base. A channel is defined by the base and is operable to receive a cam adapter. A cam adapter has a drive connector opposite a blade engagement member. The drive connector is operable to engage a drive member of a motor of an electric trimmer. The blade engagement member is operable to engage and reciprocate a dynamic cutting blade of a blade assembly.

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.

The present disclosure relates to spacing comb (70) for a hair cutting appliance (10), the comb (70) comprising a support frame (72), a series of comb teeth (76) each having a frontal portion (78) and a rear portion (80), wherein the comb teeth (76) extend from the support frame (72), wherein the support frame (72) comprises a frontal connector bar (100) and a rear connector plate (102), wherein the frontal portions (78) of the comb teeth (76) extend from the frontal connector bar (100), and wherein the frontal connector bar (100) is inwardly curved towards the rear connector plate (102), such that a central portion (110) of the frontal connector bar (100) is rearwardly offset from lateral portions (112, 114) thereof. The present disclosure further relates to a hair cutting appliance (10) that is equipped with a spacing comb (70).

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.
