  • Patent number: 11331821
    Abstract: An electric shaver with a drive shaft having a first rotary axis and a drive pin connected to the drive shaft eccentrically with respect to the rotary axis, and a driven shaft having a second rotary axis. The driven shaft is indirectly coupled to the drive shaft by a gear mechanism capable of converting a rotary motion of the drive shaft into a reciprocating motion of the driven shaft.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10424857
    Abstract: A connector is disclosed comprising at least one contact clip. The contact clip comprises an electrically conductive substrate having a longitudinal axis, a first terminal located at a first end of the substrate, wherein the first terminal comprises at least two contact tongues between which a longitudinal slot is formed, which contact tongues are elastically deformable with respect to each other in a first direction which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and a second terminal located at a second end of the substrate. The connector may further comprise a chassis and a PCB. In addition, a device comprising an energy consumer, an electrical energy source, a PCB and at least one connector is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10350772
    Abstract: An electrically driven device provided with a housing, an electric motor with a drive shaft having a first rotary axis and a drive pin connected to the drive shaft eccentrically with respect to the rotary axis, and a driven shaft mounted in the housing for performing a pivoting is disclosed. The driven shaft is indirectly coupled to the drive shaft by means of a gear mechanism converting a rotary motion of the drive shaft into a reciprocating pivoting motion of the driven shaft. The gear mechanism comprises one intermediate shaft having a second rotary axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate shaft and at least one crank arm coupled to the drive pin. The crank arm is pivotably mounted in the housing and is coupled to the intermediate shaft thereby converting a rotary motion of the drive shaft into a reciprocating pivoting of the intermediate shaft about the second rotary axis.

  • Publication number: 20120070905
    Abstract: A process for the determination of body parameters, in which body hair removed by shaving, especially facial hair, is separated from body substances adhering thereto or body substances removed by shaving. Body substances include skin particles, fat and/or perspiration. The separated body hair is tested for its mineral content and/or the separated, removed body substances are analyzed for their pH and/or their conductance. A device for performing the process is also disclosed.
