Abstract: A method of assembling a personal care appliance by providing a flexible bridge between a first rigid circuit board and a second rigid circuit board. At least one electronic component emitting electromagnetic waves is mounted to the first rigid circuit board or the second rigid circuit board. The first rigid circuit board is folded over the second rigid circuit board. A flexible antenna in electrical communication with first rigid circuit board is folded to face a copper track on a top surface of the flexible antenna away from the first rigid circuit board.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a shaving razor. A circuit board is positioned within a handle. A first end of a flexible electrical bridge is connected to the circuit board. A second end of the flexible electrical bridge is connected to an energy emitting device. A loop is formed in the flexible electrical bridge by bending the flexible electrical bridge.

Abstract: A personal care appliance with a flexible circuit board having a first end portion, a second end portion and a flexible bridge between the first end portion and the second end portion. A first rigid circuit board is mounted to the first end portion of the flexible circuit board. A second rigid circuit board is mounted to the second end portion of the flexible circuit board and folded over the first rigid circuit board. At least one electronic component that emits electromagnetic waves is mounted to the first rigid circuit board. A flexible antenna is in electrical communication with first rigid circuit board. The flexible antenna has a top surface with a copper track facing away from the first rigid circuit board in a folded position.
