  • Patent number: 11691303
    Abstract: A hair cutting appliance includes a stationary blade having a first wall portion arranged to serve as a skin facing wall when in operation; and a second wall portion offset from the first wall portion such that the first and second wall portions a guide slot that receives a movable cutter blade. A toothed leading edge is jointly formed by the first and second wall portions. Teeth at the toothed leading edge include a first leg defined by the first wall portion, and a second leg defined by the second wall portion. The first and second wall portions are connected at a frontal end of the toothed leading edge, thereby forming tips of the teeth. The second legs of the teeth are tapered along a portion of their longitudinal extension towards a bottom side of the stationary blade facing away from the skin, when in operation.

  • Publication number: 20220346520
    Abstract: An epilating device for extracting hairs out of a user's skin, including hair-clamping elements that are arranged adjacent to each other and rotatable relative to a housing. A drive system rotates the hair-clamping elements which co-operate in pairs and are moveable relative to each other during rotation. On each side surface facing an adjacent hair-clamping element, there is a hair-clamping section and a hair-catching section. The hair-catching sections of adjacent hair-clamping elements define a funnel area, wherein the hair-catching sections converge towards each other for guiding hairs towards the hair-clamping sections. The hair-clamping sections of adjacent hair-clamping elements are movable relative to each other from an open position, where the hair-clamping sections are at a distance from each other, to a closed position, where the hair-clamping sections are in mutual clamping engagement in a hair-clamping area.
