Abstract: A spacing comb arrangement for a hair cutting appliance includes a comb piece configured to be disposed at a skin-facing side of a stationary blade of a blade set. The comb piece has a plurality of comb teeth that define a cutting length of the blade set when the comb arrangement is mounted thereto. The comb piece further has a flexure section configured to urge a frontal portion of the comb piece against the skin-facing side of the stationary blade.

Abstract: A shaving head has a plurality of shaving elements, each including a base portion having a separate space for receiving cut-off hairs, a cutter member for cutting hair, a drive shaft, a pivot pin connected to the cutter member and detachably coupled to the drive shaft, and a cap with a plurality of openings for letting through hairs to be cut off by the cutter member. The cap is movable with respect to the base portion between a closed position in which the space is closed off and an open position in which cut off hairs can be removed from the space. A support member disposed between the cap and the base is movable between a retaining position in which the cutter member is retained in the cap and a release position in which the cutter member can be removed from the cap.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a lighting device (100) and a method of masking an edge transition (15e). An edge structure (15) provides the light with a first edge transition (L1) along a circumference (15e) of the edge structure (15). A patterned layer (11) is provided between the edge structure (15) and the front side (31) of the device. The patterned layer (11) comprises a gradient edge pattern (11g) configured to provide the transmitted light with a second edge transition (L2). The gradient edge pattern (11g) is configured with respect to the circumference (15e) of the edge structure (15) to smoothen the first edge transition (L1). A diffuser (10) is disposed between the front side (31) and the patterned layer (11) for scattering the light of the second edge transition (L2) to smoothen the second edge transition (L2) of the gradient edge pattern (11g).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a spacing comb arrangement (30) for a hair cutting appliance (10), the comb arrangement (30) comprising a comb piece (32, 232, 332) that is arranged to be disposed at a skin-facing side (26) of a stationary blade (22) of a blade set (20), the comb piece (32, 232, 332) comprising a plurality of comb teeth (36) that define a cutting length of the blade set (20) when the comb arrangement (30) is mounted thereto, and a flexure section (72) that is arranged to urge a frontal portion (68) of the comb piece (32, 232, 332) against the skin-facing side (26) of the stationary blade (22). The disclosure further relates to a cutting head (18) comprising a respective comb arrangement (30), and to a hair cutting appliance (10).

Abstract: A shaving head includes at least one cutting unit in which an external cutting member is subjected to a shaving action. The external cutting member is suspended relative to a holder of the shaving head through suspension means. The suspension means includes at least two pivot constructions, wherein one pivot construction enables a member of the suspension means to be pivotable relative to the holder. The other pivot construction enables the external cutting member to be pivotable relative to the suspension member. Furthermore, a pivoting stiffness of a connection of the latter pivot construction is lower than a pivoting stiffness of the first pivot construction. In this manner, good contour following performance is obtained at two levels, in both relatively small and relatively large curvature changing areas.

Abstract: A shaving head unit (3) comprises at least two shaving elements (6), each being provided with:-a separate base portion (9) comprising at least a separate space (13) for receiving cut-off hairs,-a movably arranged cutter member (10) for cutting off hair,-a drive shaft (30) accommodated in the base portion for driving the cutter member,-a pivot pin (29) connected to the cutter member, which pivot pin is detachably coupled to the drive shaft, a cap (7) with a plurality of openings for letting through hairs to be cut off by the cutting member and to be received in the space. The cap is movable independently of the cap of another shaving element with respect to the base portion between a closed position and an opened position in which cut off hairs can be removed from the space. Each shaving element comprises a separate support device (21) being movably attached to the cap of the shaving element.

Abstract: A shaving device comprises a head structure (2) and a base structure (4). The head structure (2) is configured to retain and support at least one shaving head (30A, 30B, 30C). The head structure (2) is releasably retainable on the base structure (4). The base structure (4) is free of support elements in an area of an outer circumference of the head structure (2) such that the head structure (2), when coupled to the base structure (4), is not supported in the area of its outer circumference. The head structure (2), when coupled to the base structure (4), is substantially only retained on the base structure (4) by a retaining force provided by a retaining structure of the base structure (4).

Abstract: A shaving head (3) comprises at least one cutting unit (4) in which an external cutting member (5) which has a function in contacting skin to be subjected to a shaving action is arranged, and which is suspended relative to a holder (8) of the shaving head (3) through suspension means. In particular, the suspension means comprise at least two pivot constructions, wherein one pivot construction enables a member (9) of the suspension means to be pivotable relative to the holder (8), and wherein another pivot construction enables the external cutting member (5) to be pivotable relative to the suspension member (9) as mentioned. Furthermore, a pivoting stiffness of a connection of the latter pivot construction is lower than a pivoting stiffness of the first pivot construction. In this way, good contour following performance is obtained at two levels, in both relatively small and relatively large curvature changing areas.
