Patent number: 8328821Abstract: A hair removal appliance includes a hand-held part and interchangeable tool attachments. The hand-held part includes a housing on which various tool attachments are mountable, as well as a drive mechanism which is arranged in the housing and includes a driving element to which a respective tool attachment is adapted to be coupled with its attachment-side driving element. The tool attachments each have a coupling portion of identical construction and are connectable to a complementary coupling portion on the hand-held part of the hair removal appliance. Each of the tool attachments includes a driving element adapted to be coupled to a driving element on the side of the hand-held part.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2006Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Pedro Sanchez-Martinez, Michael Klotz, Ralf Dorber, Klaus Ramspeck, Thomas Schamberg, Christof Ungemach

Publication number: 20120078269Abstract: The invention is directed to an epilator apparatus for the removal of hair. The epilator apparatus comprises a tape, which adheres to the hairs as the apparatus is moved relative to the skin. The motion of the apparatus relative to the skin feeds the tape into the plucking zone where the tape with the hairs adhered thereto is redirected perpendicular to the skin. This redirection results in the hairs being plucked from the skin as the epilator apparatus is advanced.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2011Publication date: March 29, 2012Inventors: Frieder Grieshaber, Klaus-Peter Lange, Klaus Ramspeck, Christof Ungemach

Patent number: 5857903Abstract: The invention is directed to a rotary cylinder (7) for an epilating appliance comprising several pairs of clamping members (8) arranged in an angularly offset relation to each other, and actuating members (22) serving to move the clamping members (8) in pairs into, and subsequently out of, relative clamping engagement in the area of a plucking zone of the epilating appliance. Further, at least one control member is provided for controlling the actuating members (22). According to the invention, each pair of clamping members (8) has associated to it a separate, individually movable actuating member (22).Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 1997Date of Patent: January 12, 1999Assignee: Braun AktiengellschaftInventors: Klaus Ramspeck, Hans-Eberhard Heintke, Pedro Sanchez-Martinez

Patent number: 4158459Abstract: Pick-up arms for record players including an elongated tubular arm and a weight device which can be fitted from above to one end of the arm for balancing the arm. The weight device includes two halves each of which includes a weight element, the weight elements being movable laterally to allow for displacement of the center of gravity of the weight device. The weight device is capable of being mounted on the elongated arm such that substantially the entire weight device is positioned below the uppermost surface of the arm to provide a low profile pick-up arm. The second end of the elongated arm includes a pick-up mounting fixture affixed thereto, substantially the entire fixture being positioned below the upper surface of the tubular arm to provide a low profile pick-up arm.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 1978Date of Patent: June 19, 1979Assignee: Braun AktiengesellschaftInventors: Gunter Hoffmann, Klaus Ramspeck
