  • Patent number: 11597542
    Abstract: A filling device (10) comprises a filler nozzle (12) comprising a plurality of capillaries (14), and a filler valve (16), which is moveable relative to the filler nozzle (12). The filler valve (16) comprises a sealing plate (18) and a sealing component (20) moveable relative to the sealing plate (18). The sealing plate (18), when in contact with the filler nozzle (12), closes a plurality of the capillaries (14) but leaves at least one main capillary (14a) open. The sealing component (20) closes the at least one main capillary (14a) and is operable to create pressure along the at least one main capillary (14a).

  • Patent number: 9888757
    Abstract: An attachment for an epilator or an epilator having at least a clamping unit for clamping and plucking hairs that is arranged for driven movement relative to a housing along a hair capture direction is disclosed. The clamping unit has a moveable clamping element having a clamping surface and a hair guiding surface and a fixed clamping element having a clamping surface and a hair guiding surfaced. The moveable clamping element and the fixed clamping element are arranged to be cyclically moveable between an open position in which the two clamping surfaces have a minimal distance such that a gap for receiving hairs is formed between them and a closed position in which the two clamping surfaces abut on each other. The two hair guiding surfaces form a funnel in front of the gap in the open position with respect to the hair capture direction.

  • Publication number: 20140107670
    Abstract: An attachment for an epilator or an epilator having at least a clamping unit for clamping and plucking hairs that is arranged for driven movement relative to a housing of the attachment or the epilator along a hair capture direction is disclosed. The clamping unit has a first clamping element having a clamping surface and a hair guiding surface and a second clamping element having a clamping surface and a hair guiding surface. The first clamping element and the second clamping element are arranged to be cyclically first between an open position in which the two clamping surfaces have a minimal distance such that a gap for receiving hairs is formed between them and a closed position in which the two clamping surfaces abut on each other. The two hair guiding surfaces form a funnel in front of the gap in the open position with respect to the hair capture direction.
