A fluid aqueous composition for cleaning an electric personal care apparatus including at least one alkyl benzene sulfonate and at least two non-ionic surfactants. The alkyl benzene sulfonate may be sodium alkyl benzene sulfonate. The non-ionic surfactants may be a fatty alcohol polyalkylene glycol ether and a fatty alcohol polyglycol ether.

Cleaning fluid for electrical personal care apparatus

A cover device () for a drink container comprises a basic assembly () which is provided with a drink opening (), and a valve arrangement () for blocking or unblocking a passage to the drink opening () from a drink container side of the cover device (). The valve arrangement () comprises a valve element () having two portions () which are connected to each other through an area of the valve element () at a position where the valve element () is hingably associated with the basic assembly (), and wherein only one of the two portions () is in direct communication with the drink opening () of the basic assembly (), so that a smallest total moment of force may be realized on the one portion () when the valve element () is subjected to pressure from the drink container side of the cover device ().

Cover device for a drink container

A shaver includes a shaving unit having e.g., three shaving elements. Each shaving element accommodates a cutter member for cutting off hairs. Each shaving element further accommodates a gear wheel which is part of a transmission for coupling a drive shaft for driving the cutter member to an output shaft of a motor of the shaver. A top side of a space where the gear wheel is located is covered by a partition, where only the drive shaft extends through this partition. Each shaving element can be individually opened by removing a top portion of the shaving element, including the cutter member, from a base portion of the shaving element where the gear wheel, the drive shaft and the partition are located. An opening system may be provided to open all the shaving elements in one action by reversal of the direction of rotation of the output shaft, for example.

Shaver having spaces for collecting cut-off hairs

A personal care system includes an electrical shaver and a cleaning device for cleaning a shaving head. The cleaning device further includes a displacing system for displacing its supporting member relative to a cleaning fluid container from a first position in which the shaving head, when the shaver is supported by the supporting member, is not in contact with the cleaning liquid in the container, to a second position in which the shaving head is at least partially immersed in the cleaning liquid in the container. The cleaning device does not need any pump for displacing the cleaning liquid. Rather, activation of the shaving head that causes, e.g., rotation of a cutting unit, provides a sufficient pumping effect for the cleaning liquid when the shaving head is immersed in the cleaning liquid.

Personal care system comprising an electrical shaver and a cleaning device

A cleaning apparatus for cleaning a hair-cutting portion of an electric hair-cutting device includes a cleaning-liquid basin for receiving the hair-cutting portion of the electric hair-cutting device in a central area such that the hair-cutting portion is at least partially immersed in the cleaning liquid. The electric hair-cutting device is cleaned by generating a cleaning-liquid flow revolving within the basin around the central area of the basin, the hair-cutting portion being at least partially immersed in the cleaning liquid. The liquid flow effectively entrains debris away from the hair-cutting portion.
