  • Patent number: 11806884
    Abstract: An electric shaver having a shaving unit and a sensor with a first sensor unit fixed to a main body and a second sensor unit fixed to a sensor unit carrier, for indicating a distance between the sensor units. The shaving unit and the sensor unit carrier are suspended to the main body for displacement along a z-axis between a rest position and a pushed-in position in response to a pushing force exerted onto a shaving face of the shaver. The first and second sensor units are located in positions offset from the z-axis over a distance (d) in an x-direction. An anti-tilting guide is provided for guiding the sensor unit carrier against tilting about a y-axis.

  • Publication number: 20220288800
    Abstract: A skin treatment device provides feedback to a user relating to the force or pressure they are applying. In addition to the feedback provided for indicating that the pressure is too high, correct, or too low, there is a further feedback type when the force or pressure is below a lowest threshold value, indicating that there is no contact between the skin and the device. Providing the same feedback information when the user is applying a too low pressure as when the user has deliberately released the device from contact with the skin is thereby avoided.

  • Publication number: 20220048211
    Abstract: An electric shaver having a shaving unit (3) and a sensor (15) with a first sensor unit (16) fixed to a main body (2; 202; 302) and a second sensor unit (17) fixed to a sensor unit carrier (22; 222; 322), for indicating a distance between the sensor units (16, 17). The shaving unit (3) and the sensor unit carrier (22; 222; 322) are suspended to the main body (2; 202; 302) for displacement along a z-axis between a rest position (22) and a pushed-in position (22?) in response to a pushing force exerted onto a shaving face (11) of the shaver (1). The first and second sensor units (16, 17) are located in positions offset from the z-axis over a distance (d) in an x-direction. An anti-tilting guide (24-27; 124; 224, 226; 326, 328) is provided for guiding the sensor unit carrier (22; 222; 322) against tilting about a y-axis.
