Patent number: 10893746Abstract: A personal hygiene device has a handle and a treatment head pivotably connected with the handle. Applying a treatment force against the treatment head causes a pivoting of the treatment head relative to the handle. A sensor, such as, e.g., a Hall sensor, fixedly secured with respect to one of the handle and the treatment head, measures a measurement variable. A sensor cooperation unit defines or influences the measurement variable in dependence on the relative position of the sensor and the sensor cooperation unit, such e.g., as a sensor permanent magnet, fixedly secured relative to one of the handle and the treatment head. A spring unit defines a rest position of the treatment head when no treatment force is applied. The spring unit has a first spring constant in the treatment direction and a second spring constant in a lateral direction, the second spring constant being at least about two times higher than the first spring constant.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2018Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Norbert Schaefer, Thomas Fritsch, Andreas Kramp, Andreas Larscheid, Marc Kunz, Robert Schäfer

Patent number: 10893750Abstract: A method for producing a seat core material that has a foamed molded substrate and a frame member embedded in a periphery thereof, which includes, as step (a), heating thermoplastic resin expanded beads in a mold cavity, in which the frame member has been disposed, to fusion-bond the expanded beads to each other and to obtain the foamed molded substrate with the frame member being embedded in the periphery thereof; and, as step (b), simultaneously with step (a) or after step (a), forming a void cavity S, S? in the foamed molded substrate at a position along and adjacent to the frame member. The void cavity S, S? has a size and shape that allows a relative displacement between the frame member and the foamed molded substrate when the foamed molded substrate shrinks after step (b).Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2016Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: JSP CORPORATIONInventors: Atsuo Takayama, Motoaki Ueguri, Keiichi Hashimoto

Patent number: 10893754Abstract: A headrest is described having a vertically adjustable element, an adjustable lap rest, and a cup. The vertically adjustable element has a lower end and an upper end, where the vertically adjustable element has a height, h1, when fully extended and has a height, h2, when collapsed, where h2<h1. The adjustable lap rest element has a first portion that is attached to the lower end of the vertically adjustable element and has a second portion comprising a fold-out. The fold-out, in a horizontal configuration, functions as a lap rest and, in a vertical configuration, functions to increase the height of the headrest, when fully extended, from the height, h1, to height h1+h3. The cup is attached to the upper end of the vertically adjustable element, where the cup has an angularly adjustable mechanism. A modular version of the headrest and a kit storing the headrest are also described.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2020Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Inventors: Jay Patrick Cooke, Benjamin Templeton Cooke
