Abstract: The present invention relates to a surface structure for a working device. In particular, the invention relates to a surface structure for a working device that has at least one first element with a first height and a second element with a second height, and a third element having a third height, wherein the second height is greater than the third height, having in addition a first grip area, a second grip area, and a third grip area, wherein the elements are arranged on a dot matrix, wherein the centers of the second elements and the centers of the third elements are arranged on the points of intersection and the centers of the first elements are not arranged on the points of intersection, and the first grip area comprises first elements and second elements, the second grip area comprises predominantly second elements, the third grip area comprises predominantly third elements. The present invention also relates to a working device having such a surface structure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gripping area and a surface structure for a working device.

Abstract: An electric hair removal apparatus includes a housing adapted to be held in the hand, a guard cap mounted on the housing for pivotal movement about a pivot axis, and a control element with which a switch can be activated. The control element is arranged inside an at least locally circular recess of the guard cap. The pivot axis of the guard cap is constructed to be eccentric relative to the recess of the guard cap.
