Patent number: 9156173Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting device (1) for cutting hair, having at least two blades (2, 3) which move back and forth relative to each other. The blades (2, 3) are provided with teeth (8, 9) which extend transversally to the direction of movement (P), and tooth gaps (25, 26) arranged therein. The teeth (8, 9) have contact surfaces (4, 5) on their facing sections which are in gliding contact with each other and which form cutting edges (34, 35) on their sides bounding the tooth gaps (25, 26) such that the back and forth movement (P) of the blades causes the tooth gaps (25, 26), cooperating with each other, to form constantly changing cutting gaps (32) in which hair becomes clamped and is finally cut. According to the invention, the free ends of teeth (9) of one blade (3) project over sections (15) of free ends of teeth (9) of other blades (2), and projections (17) extend from the projecting sections (15) of the teeth (9) on the contact surfaces (5) side.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2008Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Stefan Fuerst, Oliver Von Sartori-Montecroce

Patent number: 8555510Abstract: The invention relates to an electrically driven razor and an associated charging station, wherein at least one drivable cutting or shearing part is supported on a shearing head disposed on the razor housing and wherein at least one active thermocouple that can be electrically actuated is thermally coupled to a passive cooling element on the side that can be cooled relative to the ambient temperature. The passive cooing element in this arrangement is disposed having at least one free end section on or in the region of the shearing head, such that it contacts the skin of a user in shaving mode.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Stefan Fuerst, Martin Fuellgrabe, Oliver Von Sartori-Montecroce, Jan Langsdorf, Uwe Schaaf

Patent number: 8407914Abstract: A device for refreshing fabrics by reducing malodors and/or wrinkles without requiring that the fabrics to be put through an entire standard laundry process. The device comprises an extractable drawer which is pulled out of the device to allow for loading of a fabric into a receiving region. The extractable drawer can then be closed transporting the fabric into the interior of the device. A fabric treatment composition is sprayed or otherwise dispensed onto the fabrics when the device is operated. The device comprises an air flow path and a heating element which allows for the fabrics to be treated during use and comprises a passive heat management system within the shell to minimize formation of hot spots and direct air flow away from the side walls. The extractable drawer of the present invention can be positioned to extract laterally or vertically out of the shell of the device.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2010Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Stefan Hubert Hollinger, Christof Kleemann, Markus Sabisch, Oliver von Sartori-Montecroce, Stephan James Andreas Meschkat, Heiko Ullrich, Robert Hans-Joachim Damaschke, Ulrich Alexander Bublitz, Brian Joseph Roselle
