Patent number: 7487786Abstract: A lift mechanism for a cleaning device of a dry shaving apparatus includes a base plate with guides and a chassis plate mounting the chassis and arranged for displacement relative to the base plate. Coiled-strip springs arranged on the guides spring-load the chassis plate against the base plate. On actuation of the lift mechanism the coiled-strip springs are untensioned by coiling up along the guides, thereby lifting the chassis plate. The coiled-strip springs reduce the load on the construction and ensure an almost noiseless lift mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2004Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Jürgen Höser, Diana Kappes, Andreas Larscheid, Uwe Ludäscher, Svatopluk Krumnikl

Patent number: 7002091Abstract: A shaving head cleaner includes a housing defining a receptacle adapted to receive a shaving head of the dry shaving apparatus. A contact member extends from the housing, and is adapted to accommodate an end of the dry shaving apparatus remote from the shaving head. A pushbutton is positioned near an end of the contact member, and the pushbutton has electrical connectors configured to be moved by the pushbutton for establishing an electrical connection between the dry shaving apparatus and the shaving head cleaner. A tolerance compensating device is arranged between the electrical connectors and the pushbutton.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2005Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Jurgen Hoser, Diana Kappes, Andreas Larscheid, Uwe Ludascher, Svatopluk Krumnikl

Patent number: 4352581Abstract: A mechanical pencil of the type having a push-button lead-feeding mechanism is provided with a space into which a replaceable cartridge containing leads can be inserted. The cartridge has a lead outlet opening which is blocked by a closure that is moved out of the way upon such insertion so that the leads can thereupon move sequentially into the lead-feeding mechanism, permitting a user to write until all leads in the cartridge are used up.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1980Date of Patent: October 5, 1982Assignee: A.

Patent number: 4231669Abstract: A device for receiving a writing implement has a housing, a resiliently yieldable sealing member in the housing and adapted to sealingly abut against a writing tubular member of the writing implement, and a wetting member in the housing and located in spaced relationship with a pressure-equalizing passage of the writing implement as well as communicating with the passage. The resiliently yieldable member may be composed of two axially movable balls which are received in a cylindrical portion of the housing and axially limited by two axially spaced collars. The cylindrical portion may be connected with a conical extension which, in turn, may be connected with a further cylindrical portion received in the receiving opening of the housing. These portions may be of one-piece with each other so as to form a one-piece insert member.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1978Date of Patent: November 4, 1980Assignee: A.W.
