Abstract: A water kettle having a receptacle (1) with an inner space (2) for receiving water (3) therein and with a pouring spout (4) for pouring water from the inner space (2). The water kettle is further provided with a particle catcher (9) for catching particles from the water in the kettle. The particle catcher (9) has an inlet (11) for catching descending particles (13) which faces upwards when the kettle is in an upright position. This causes loose particles to be caught from the water and to be retained particularly effectively. Furthermore, a particle catcher for use in such a water kettle is described.

Abstract: In a hair-cutting system (1) including a hair-cutting apparatus (2) and including a comb device (3) at least the comb teeth (10) of the comb device (3) are connected to holding means (14) of the hair-cutting apparatus (2) with the aid of connecting means (13), and connecting means (13) are constructed to enable the angular position of the comb teeth (10) with respect of the hair-cutting apparatus (2) to be changed continually, and the connecting means (13) are further constructed and arranged in such a manner that when the comb teeth (10)are moved over a skin area of a person a continual contact with the skin area is guaranteed for the essential part of the contact zones (Z) of said comb teeth (10) by a continual adaptation of their angular position.

Abstract: A hair-cutting system (1) comprising a hair-cutting apparatus (2) for cutting hairs, having a cutting device (3), and a comb device (4) which at least during operation is mounted on the hair-cutting apparatus (2) in the area of its cutting device (3) and which has juxtaposed comb elements (5), in which system (1) at least some of the comb elements (5) can be applied to a skin area of a person during operation, each of said comb elements (5) having a proximal end (6) and a distal end (7) and a contact zone (8) extending between the two ends (6, 7). At least one of said comb elements (5) comprises a rigid part (13) and flexible connection means (10) attached to each other, by means of which the comb element (5) adapts itself to the contour of the skin region it is applied to during operation. This improves the raising of hairs on curved regions of the skin area by the comb element (5), so that the hairs can be cut properly, and it improves the handling of the apparatus (2).

Abstract: A hair-cutting system (1) is provided comprising a hair-cutting apparatus (2) having a toothed cutting device (17), and comprising a comb device (20) which can be mounted onto the hair-cutting apparatus (2) and comprises a stationary comb section (22) and an adjustable comb section (23), and comprising positioning means by which the adjustable comb section (23) can be positioned with respect to the stationary comb section (22), the stationary comb section (22) and the adjustable comb section (23) are loaded relative to one another by means of at least one spring (48), and the positioning means comprise an adjustment device (50) arranged on the hair-cutting apparatus (2), which adjustment device is adjustable to a number of settings by the hand in which the hair-cutting apparatus (2) is held during operation, and coupling means (51) are arranged between the adjustment device (50) and the adjustable comb section (23) for automatically coupling the adjustment device (50) and the adjustable comb section (23) when
