Patent number: 9120238Abstract: To allow trimming body hair by pulling as well as pushing with the same hair trimmer device (1), its comb unit (6) is positioned over the trimming head (16) in at least two different positions (8, 9), one (8) pulling and one pushing position (9). In particular, in the different comb positions (8, 9), the tips (20) of the comb unit's fins (13) point in the direction of the respective movement. Preferably, the comb unit (6) is removably attached. In a preferred embodiment, the trimming head (16) includes shaving means (18) besides trimming means (19).Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2011Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Christian Mikula, Gerald Kauer, Harald Duller

Patent number: 8496670Abstract: A depilating device (14) for depilating hair (12) from a surface (10) of a skin (11) comprises a housing (16) and a depilating member (18) arranged in said housing. In operation, said depilating member has an effective depilating action when positioned within a predetermined range of angular positions (5) relative to the surface of the skin. The depilating device further comprises a detector for detecting an actual angular position (28) of the depilating member relative to the surface of the skin, and feedback means cooperating with said detector for providing a feedback signal when said actual angular position exceeds said predetermined range of angular positions. According to a specific embodiment, the detector comprises a skin contact member (34) arranged adjacent to the depilating member (18) and being pivotable relative to the housing (16) about a pivot axis (54) extending parallel to a skin contact surface of the depilating member.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2009Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Christoph Kurt Obkircher, Harald Duller, Christina Dorothea Tittas
