  • Publication number: 20240398499
    Abstract: A body-wearable medical device has first and second housing portions. The first housing portion has a female portion and the second housing portion has a male portion. The male portion is at least partially inserted into the female portion, thereby defining a circumferential clearance gap. A circumferential sealing element is arranged in the circumferential clearance gap between the female portion and the male portion. In order to provide a body-wearable medical device with improved sealing that is less prone to failure by stress and forces exerted on the body-wearable medical device, the female portion and the male portion are fixed to each other by a circumferential fixation glue arranged in the circumferential clearance gap between the female portion and the male portion next to the circumferential sealing element.

  • Patent number: 9578946
    Abstract: The invention relates to an epilation head for an epilation device, in particular for plucking hair from human skin having a rotating cylinder and rotating around a rotational axis, the rotating cylinder having a number of plucking units for grasping and plucking out hair and having a skin oriented surface, wherein each plucking unit includes a movable clamping unit, a stationary clamping unit. The movable clamping unit and the stationary clamping unit form a closable plucking gap. The movable clamping units have a skin contacting surface and the total area of the skin contacting surfaces of the movable clamping units is greater than 5% of the area of the skin oriented surface.

  • Patent number: 9480321
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor-driven epilation head for an epilation device for plucking hairs of the human skin. Specifically, the invention relates to an epilation head having a rotation cylinder that can be rotated about a rotation axis and includes a plurality of plucking units for capturing and plucking the hairs. Each plucking unit comprises a first clamping element, a second clamping element and a third clamping element. The first clamping element together with the second clamping element forms a first closeable plucking gap and the second clamping element together with the third clamping element forms a second closeable plucking gap. The first and the second clamping elements are movably mounted and can be jointly actuated by means of an actuation element in order to close the first and the second plucking gap. The first and the second clamping elements move in the same direction.

  • Publication number: 20100280528
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a skin treatment device that comprises an actuator and at least a skin stimulation element arranged at a mounting structure, the mounting structure being supported at the skin treatment device and the mounting structure being deformable or displaceable against a restoring force when an external force is applied on the skin stimulation element. A contact portion of the mounting structure is arranged to cooperate with the actuator only in a deformed or displaced state of the mounting structure. This renders the device to operate on a low noise level when it is switched on but not pressed against the skin.
