A personal care device has a main functional unit and an ancillary functional unit which is displaced between a non-operational position and an operational position using a biasing arrangement. A magnet arrangement is used to exert a magnetic holding on the ancillary functional unit in the operational position. This provides a stable support of the ancillary functional unit in the operational position without requiring a strong biasing arrangement.

An electric hair cutter includes a motion conversion mechanism that converts rotary motion of an output shaft of an electric motor into reciprocating linear motion and a movable blade driven by reciprocating linear motion of the motion conversion mechanism. The motion conversion mechanism includes a first conversion portion, converting rotary motion of the output shaft into reciprocating rotary motion about a first axis, a second conversion portion, converting the reciprocating rotary motion into reciprocating linear motion, and an output portion, coupling the second conversion portion to the movable blade. The second conversion portion includes a motion transmission part, coupling the first conversion portion to the output portion, and an elastic deformation part coupled to the motion transmission part to restrict motion of the motion transmission part caused by motion components differing from a motion component in an output direction so that the motion transmission part linearly reciprocates.

A multifunctional electric groomer including a casing in which a driving module is provided, at least two blade sets, each of which is equipped with a support, one end of the support fixing the blade set and the other end of the support being hinged on the casing, with the hinge points of the supports successively arranged along the direction of the output shaft of the driving module. Each of the blade sets has a housed position and an operating position to dynamically couple with the driving module. A clutch coupling is provided between the output shaft of the driving module and the input shaft of the blade set.
