Abstract: There is disclosed an electric hair dryer (10) including a body (12) with a rear end (16) allowing entry of air into the body (12), a front end (18) allowing exit of the air from the body (12), two cover plates (20) secured with the body (12), in which the cover plates (20) are movable between a first position in which at least part of the rear end (16) is blocked by the cover plates (20) and a second position in which the rear end (16) is unobstructed by the cover plates (20).
Abstract: An electric toothbrush (10) is disclosed as including an electric motor (22), a shaft (56) engaged with a brush head (18), and a coupling mechanism operatively associated with the motor (22) and the shaft (56) for transmitting the motional output of the motor (22) to drive the shaft (56) to swivel about its longitudinal axis, the coupling mechanism including a reciprocating block (34) reciprocable along a straight line perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft (56).
Abstract: An electric toothbrush (10, 100) is disclosed as including an electric motor (22, 122), a shaft (56, 156) engaged with a brush head (18), and a coupling mechanism operatively associated with the motor (22, 122) and the shaft (56, 156) for coupling with the motor (22, 122) to drive the shaft (56, 156) to swivel about a longitudinal axis of the shaft (56, 156), the coupling mechanism including a reciprocating block (34, 134) reciprocable along a straight line perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft (56, 156).
