A personal care appliance comprises a head, a display device, and a drive unit including a motor for driving a removable tool element in the head via a drive transmitter. The head has at least one coupling element for coupling different types of tool elements with the drive transmitter. The tool elements comprises at least two of the following tool elements: a skincare unit, a long-hair cutting unit, a beard-trimming unit, a brush, and a short-hair cutting unit, wherein at least one mode button is provided for changing operating parameters of the motor and is configured to indicate upon activation at least one of the tool elements at the display device.

Electric shaver

The invention is related to a drive control for driving a dc motor of an electrical household appliance, in particular a hair cutting device such as an electric razor, shaver or epilator, at constant rotational speed.

Shaver motor speed control

Method for controlling the battery capacity of a secondary battery in a battery-driven household electrical appliance and a respective household electrical appliance are described, wherein the battery-driven household electrical appliance has an electrical load and a control means adapted to control the operation of the household electrical appliance and to monitor the capacity of the secondary battery, said method comprising the following steps:

Method for controlling the battery capacity of a secondary battery and battery-driven household electrical appliance

An electrically driven shaver comprises a housing and at least one hair cutting element that is driven by an electromotor. A thermoelectric skin cooling element and the electromotor are electrically operable by a microcontroller and an on/off switch which is electrically connected with the microcontroller. The microcontroller is adapted to activate and deactivate operation of both the electromotor and the skin cooling element. The skin cooling element is located adjacent to the hair cutting element. The microcontroller is adapted to immediately deactivate operation of the electromotor and relative to that to deactivate operation of the skin cooling element at later point of time, both in response to the 'off' actuation of the same on/off switch.

A button assembly for displaying an illuminated symbol with a locking ring having an outer surface. A solid light guide is positioned within and spaced apart from the locking ring. The light guide has a top surface for displaying an illuminated symbol and a bottom surface with a light receiving member having a refracting surface with a first lens member for receiving and directing light to the top surface of the light guide. A resilient sealing member is mounted on the locking ring and interconnects the locking ring and the light guide. The sealing member has an unsupported portion that facilitates movement of the light guide relative to the locking ring.
