Abstract: A handle for an electrically operated personal-care implement includes a metal tube housing having a metal wall with an opening and an inner surface, the inner surface defining an inner cavity of the housing for accommodating an energy source, and a switch assembly for activating the energy source. The switch assembly, including a hard switch component and a soft switch component, is arranged in the opening and seals the opening from the inner surface of the wall. The hard switch component comprises a frame having a recess and attached to the inner surface of the metal wall thereby surrounding the opening and providing an undercut between the recess and the inner surface. The undercut is open to the opening, and the soft switch component is positioned in the undercut to at least partially cover the opening.

Abstract: A shaving system has a shaver having a handle, a razor cartridge including at least one blade, at least one sensor associated with the at least one blade and configured to detect a pressure applied to the at least one blade, and at least one resilient element associated with the at least one blade. The at least one resilient element is configured to deform in response to the pressure applied to the at least one blade and/or the at least one resilient element has an adjustable modulus of elasticity. The shaving system further including a processor operably coupled to the at least one resilient element; and a controller operably coupled to the processor that is configured to generate a signal to adjust the modulus of elasticity of the at least one resilient element.

Abstract: A percussive massage device with a force meter that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a controller configured to obtain a voltage of the motor, generate a lookup table correlating voltage to force applied by the percussive massage device, and display a force magnitude corresponding to the obtained voltage using the lookup table.

Abstract: A shearable screw (20) of device (1) screw-connects electrical connectors (2, 4). The device has a thread section (22) for screwing the shearable screw (20) into a terminal body (10). The thread section (22) has a thread with an asymmetrical thread profile at least in certain sections, in particular, in that the thread section (22) has a saw thread at least in certain sections. A system (40) has such shearable screw (20) and a thrust element (30).

Abstract: The inventive body care device having a handle and a treatment head, which is hingedly connected mechanically therewith, has a flexible zone for enabling an elastic deflection of the treatment head with respect to the handle and a deflection sensor, which is capable of generating an electric signal as a function of the elastic deflection. This signal can be used to control an automatic start and/or stop function, a use counter and/or operating states of an electric vibrational element integrated in the body care device.

Abstract: A shaving razor having a housing. The housing includes a plurality of shaving blades and a separate trimming blade. The trimming blade has a trimming blade edge. A trimming blade alignment member is provided on the housing for aligning the trimming blade edge which is visually concealed by said housing on a user's skin for accurate shaving.

Abstract: A razor system includes a razor cartridge having a blade and a handle attached to the razor cartridge. A sensor is disposed in the razor system for generating a sensor signal indicative of parameters sensed during a shave. The sensor includes at least one of an electromagnetic induction sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a hall effect sensor, a capacitive sensor, a charge transfer sensor, an electric field sensor, a photoelectric sensor, a magnetostrictive sensor and an angular rate sensor.
