  • Publication number: 20230272886
    Abstract: The invention provides a lamp screw cap (200) comprising a thread structure (220), wherein the thread structure (220) comprises repetitive elements (225) defining tops (230), valleys (240), and a central plane (250), wherein tops (230) protrude relative to the central plane (250) and wherein the valleys (240) are recessed relative to the central plane (250), wherein: for a plurality of tops (230) applies that each top (230) comprises a first top segment (231), a second top segment (232), and a middle top segment (233), together defining the top (230), wherein the middle top segment (233) is configured most remote from the central plane (250); for a plurality of valleys (240) applies that each valley (240) comprises a first valley segment (241), a second valley segment (242), and a middle valley segment (243), together defining the valley (240), wherein the middle valley segment (243) is configured most remote from the central plane (250); the first top segment (231), the second top segment (232), the first va

  • Patent number: 10946538
    Abstract: A personal care device like a shaving device (1) comprises a base structure (2) and a head structure (3). The head structure comprises a first coupling element (5) and at least a head support structure (4) configured to hold at least one treatment head (4?). The base structure comprises a second coupling element (6). The coupling elements can releasably be coupled to each other for coupling the head structure to the base structure. By rotating the coupled coupling elements with respect to each other in a first rotational direction about a central axis (9), a first inclined surface (15) of at least one of the first and second coupling elements cooperates with a first co-operating surface (26) of the other of the first and second coupling elements thereby driving the first and second coupling elements away from each other in an axial direction extending parallel to the central axis.

  • Patent number: 9919437
    Abstract: A personal care device comprising a main housing, a hair-cutting module displaceable with respect to the main housing against spring force in a direction parallel to a main axis, and a sensor comprising a first sensor unit connected to the main housing and a second sensor unit connected to the hair-cutting module. The hair cutting module is also tiltable in directions relative to the main housing. By measuring average displacement of the hair cutting module at multiple locations, the sensor is sensitive only to displacement parallel to the main axis. The sensor measures such displacement and determines the force needed to effect such displacement. If the force is larger than a predetermined value, a warning signal will be produced.

  • Publication number: 20160236360
    Abstract: A personal care device comprising a main housing 2, a hair-cutting module 3 being displaceable with respect to the main housing against spring force in a direction parallel to a main axis 11, and a sensor 15 comprising a first sensor unit 16 connected to the main housing and a second sensor unit 17 connected to the hair-cutting module, wherein the sensor is configured to detect a displacement of the second sensor unit connected to the hair-cutting module with respect to the first sensor unit connected to the main housing in a direction parallel to the main axis. The hair-cutting module is tiltable with respect to the main housing about at least one tilt axis 13 extending perpendicularly to the main axis.
