Abstract: A hair-cutting system (1) comprising a hair-cutting apparatus (2) for cutting hairs, having a cutting device (3), and a comb device (4) which at least during operation is mounted on the hair-cutting apparatus (2) in the area of its cutting device (3) and which has juxtaposed comb elements (5), in which system (1) at least some of the comb elements (5) can be applied to a skin area of a person during operation, each of said comb elements (5) having a proximal end (6) and a distal end (7) and a contact zone (8) extending between the two ends (6, 7). At least one of said comb elements (5) comprises a rigid part (13) and flexible connection means (10) attached to each other, by means of which the comb element (5) adapts itself to the contour of the skin region it is applied to during operation. This improves the raising of hairs on curved regions of the skin area by the comb element (5), so that the hairs can be cut properly, and it improves the handling of the apparatus (2).

Abstract: In a product including a printed circuit board which comprises a printed-circuit part and a terminal part and including a rechargeable battery having two terminals, and including retaining device for mechanically retaining the battery, the retaining device and the printed circuit board are arranged and constructed so as to be mechanically separate from one another, in such a manner that the printed circuit board does not form part of the retaining device, and each of the two terminals of the battery is connected to a terminal zone on the terminal part of the printed circuit board in an electrically conductive manner via a mechanically flexible and electrically conductive connecting device.
