Patent number: 9775976Abstract: An appliance for facial skin applications having a drive assembly with an oscillating drive shaft. A base member is removably attachable to the oscillating drive member and an infuser member includes a soft tip with a concave surface adapted to hold a skin formulation for infusing into the skin of the user. A spring assembly connects the base member to the infuser member, and is arranged to convert the oscillating action of the drive shaft and the base member to an action having a significant axial component, toward and away from the skin, to produce an infusing action on the skin.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: L'OrealInventor: Joseph Grez

Patent number: 9579250Abstract: The heads interface with a conventional handpiece so that the facial brush or other facial treatment head can be removed and replaced with a subassembly that provides pivoting/floating support. The treatment head is then attachable to the pivoting/floating subassembly as if it were attaching to the handpiece; the result being a motorized skin treatment head that pivots and/or floats to follow the contour of the skin. The internal motor can either be housed within the handpiece, or pivoting/floating subassembly, and will either provide rotation/oscillation of the treatment head, or simple vibrations to the handpiece and/or treatment head. The floating mechanism may be available in a variety of forms to provide the widest variety of use scenarios. Each floating mechanisms and/or subassemblies are interchangeable with the others so as to be removably attachable to the handpieces described in the Parent applications.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2012Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Inventor: Thomas Nichols
