  • Patent number: 11759225
    Abstract: The invention relates to a skin treatment device for removing callus from the skin by an abrasive treatment, comprising a housing with a handle section (110), a skin treatment element (120) rotatable around a rotational axis (101) and a protective rim (130). Said protective rim circumferentially encases said skin treatment element partially over an angular range of more than 120° and less than 330° about said rotational axis such that a circumferential abrasive treatment surface protrudes from the protective rim in an area extending over an angular range of 30° to 240°.

  • Publication number: 20220255392
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor suspension for rigid and watertight mounting of a motor to a housing of an electric device, an electric device comprising such a motor suspension and a hair cutting device comprising an electric device with such a motor suspension. The motor suspension comprises a motor fixation element, a sealing suspension element and a motor axis seal. The motor fixation element is configured to provide a rigid connection of a motor to a housing in one direction, while it provides some flexibility in another direction for not deforming the housing. The sealing suspension element is configured for providing a fluid-tight connection to the housing, and the motor axis seal is configured for providing a fluid tight connection of the sealing suspension element to a rotational axis of the motor.

  • Patent number: 9085086
    Abstract: An electric apparatus comprises a housing (2) and a trimmer (3) for cutting hair. The trimmer (3) is carried by a trimmer supporting element (5) which is movable between a stored position and an operational position. In the operational position the trimmer (3) is spaced from the housing (2). The trimmer supporting element (5) is rotatably connected to the housing (2) through a supporting element hinge (8), which is movable with respect to the housing (2) via a guide (9) in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the supporting element hinge (8). The apparatus further comprises a displacement member (11) for defining the displacement of the trimmer supporting element (5) between the stored position and the operational position.

  • Patent number: 8261452
    Abstract: A shaving device comprises a head structure (2) and a base structure (4). The head structure (2) is configured to retain and support at least one shaving head (30A, 30B, 30C). The head structure (2) is releasably retainable on the base structure (4). The base structure (4) is free of support elements in an area of an outer circumference of the head structure (2) such that the head structure (2), when coupled to the base structure (4), is not supported in the area of its outer circumference. The head structure (2), when coupled to the base structure (4), is substantially only retained on the base structure (4) by a retaining force provided by a retaining structure of the base structure (4).
