  • Patent number: 10143615
    Abstract: The present application relates to a device for treating skin (1) comprising a housing (2), a shaft (14) located in the housing (2) having a longitudinal axis (‘A’) and an end for receiving a skin treating part (3). The device (1) further comprises a drive means configured to cause the shaft to rotate about its longitudinal axis, and to oscillate in a direction along the longitudinal axis, wherein the drive means comprise a rotational drive unit for rotating the shaft (14) and an oscillation generator (26) for oscillating the shaft. The oscillation generator (26) is located about the shaft (14) such that the shaft is rotatable relative to the oscillation generator. Furthermore, the oscillation generator (26) comprises a solenoid (39) and a flux assembly (25), and the flux assembly (25) is moveable along the shaft (14) relative to the solenoid (39).

  • Patent number: 6267339
    Abstract: A bracket is disclosed for mounting one object on another. The bracket has two pivotally joined links, one for receiving said one object. Each link is pivotally joined to a respective fixing member for fixing to the other object. The pivotal joints have parallel pivotal axes so that the distance at which the fixing members are spaced, when fixed to the other object determines the angular orientation of said one object relative to the other.
