Abstract: This disclosure is concerned with a personal care device with a treatment head being pivot-mounted around a pivot axis, the personal care device having a pin having a pin head, a cam element having a cam surface, a spring element biasing the pin head and the cam surface against each other, wherein the cam surface is shaped such that it defines a rest position at which the biasing spring force provided by the spring element with which the pin head and the cam surface are pushed against each other has a non-zero minimum value, and wherein a pivoting of the head around the pivot axis causes the pin head to move along the cam surface and the cam surface is further shaped such that the spring force pushing the pin head and the cam surface against each other increases with increasing pivoting angle.

Abstract: A cartridge for a microfluidic delivery system is defined by a longitudinal axis. The cartridge includes a reservoir for containing a fluid composition. The cartridge also includes a nozzle operatively connected with the reservoir. The nozzle is in fluid communication with the reservoir for releasing the fluid composition. The cartridge includes an outer cover operatively connected with the reservoir. The outer cover comprises an orifice that is adjacent to the nozzle. An air flow path is formed by a gap between the reservoir and the outer cover.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a cartridge for a microfluidic delivery system. The cartridge has a longitudinal axis. The cartridge includes a reservoir for containing a fluid composition and a microfluidic delivery member connected with the reservoir. The microfluidic delivery member has a die having a nozzle and electrical traces that are in electrical communication with the die and terminate at electrical contacts. The die is in fluid communication with the reservoir. The cartridge includes an outer cover connected with the reservoir. The outer cover defines an interior and an exterior and includes an orifice that is adjacent to the nozzle. The outer cover at least partially covers the electrical contacts.

Abstract: A heat transfer housing for a printed circuit board, which has an electrical component having a thermal contact area, includes an extruded section having a contact area and contours for receiving the printed circuit board. One of the walls of the housing is initially formed displaced outwardly through an angle. When the printed circuit board is installed in the housing, the outwardly displaced wall is rotated inwardly and held in place by a cover. The wall includes a portion which bears against the printed circuit board and forces the thermal contact area of the electrical component to bear against the contact area of the housing for efficient heat transfer.
