Patent number: 7482943Abstract: A device with a human-machine interface for use as a user control interface, particularly in an automotive environment, which temporarily makes an indication of the function of a control organ perceptible, when the user begins to actuate it, but has not yet definitively actuated it. The device with a human-machine interface helps the user to find the right control organ, or warns about dangerous control organs. Moreover, ways of finding groups of control organs and verifying the setting of groups of control organs are made possible.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2005Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Leonardus G.

Patent number: 6256834Abstract: The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner comprising a housing (1) accommodating a suction unit (7). The vacuum cleaner further comprises a dust container (11) in which a dust filter (21) can be placed. The dust container is detachably coupled to the housing and comprises a handle (33) and an opening (31) via which the dust filter can be placed. According to the invention, the handle is provided on a side wall (39) of the dust container, while the opening is provided at an upper side (35) of the dust container, the upper side of the dust container being directed towards an upper side (37) of the housing in an operational position of the vacuum cleaner. In this manner, it is prevented that the dust filter can fall out of the dust container or that dust can fall out of the dust filter when the dust container is detached from the housing. In a preferred embodiment, the handle of the dust container also is a unique handle for the housing, so that the construction of the housing is simplified.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1999Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Natalie Meijer, Hans Kodden, Albart J.

Patent number: 5953829Abstract: A hair styling instrument is provided which includes a housing (8) having a front side (9), formed with at least one passage (10) for heated air. Elongate hair guides (12, 13, 14) project exclusively from the front side (9) of the housing (8) or, at least in the area of the passage (10). Movable hair guides (13) are movable between a first position, in which they project fully from the housing (8), and a second position, in which they project from the housing (8) to a smaller extent than in the first position. With the movable hair guides (13) in the second position the hair styling instrument can be moved through wet tangled hair with a low resistance. Subsequently, when the hair is tidied and drier, a proper grip and hence a satisfactory styling performance is achieved with the movable hair guides (13) in the first position.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1997Date of Patent: September 21, 1999Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Lippe Van Den Brug, Albart J.
