In an embodiment, a method of manufacturing () is described. The method comprises providing () a first layer defining a first inner surface () and a first outer surface (), a second layer defining a second inner surface () and a second outer surface (), and an electrical component () positioned on the first inner surface or the second inner surface. The method further comprises attaching () the first and second layers together to create a device () comprising the first and second layers, wherein the first outer surface and the second outer surface define an external surface of the device. The device further comprises a sealed portion () defined by liquid-tight attachment between the first and second inner surfaces. In use of the device, the sealed portion prevents liquid ingress into the device between the first and second layers towards the electrical component.

Preventing liquid ingress in a device

A shaving unit and/or electric shaver having a lighting module for providing an optical heating function at a skin-contacting surface of the shaving unit is disclosed. An encapsulation arrangement for components of the lighting module using a potting material is described. The potting material encapsulates, on both an upper and lower side, a carrier to one or more lighting elements are mounted.

A hand held personal care devicehas a main housingarranged to be held by hand, and an operative unitconnected to the main FIG.housingand adapted for carrying out a personal care operation to a body part of a user. The main housinghas a main axis of extensionand accommodates a light indicatorfor indicating an operational condition of the personal care device. The light indicatorhas a light emitting surface, that extends circumferentially around the main housingas a closed-loop surface about the main axis of extension, and a light guiding wallof which at least a portion, including the closed-loop surface, extends as a closed-loop wall portionabout the main axis of extension.

Handheld personal care device with a light indicator for indicating an operational condition

A hand held personal care device () with an operative unit () connected to a main housing (), a light source (), and an optically transparent light guide () having a light receiving surface (), a light emitting surface () and a light guiding member () extending from the light receiving surface to the light emitting surface for guiding light from the light receiving surface to the light emitting surface. The light source is arranged in a watertight chamber () of the main housing. The main housing includes an optically transparent wall portion () arranged adjacent to the light source and bounding the watertight chamber. The light guide is arranged outside the watertight chamber and the light receiving surface is arranged adjacent to the optically transparent wall portion in a position for receiving light from the light source via the optically transparent wall portion.

Hand held personal care device with a light system

There is provided a light guiding unit () for use in an oral cleaning device. The light guiding unit is configured to be coupled to a light source (), and the light guiding unit comprises a homogenizing component () having a length along which light from the light source is guided. The homogenizing component is further configured such that at least one of an amount of refraction of the guided light and an amount of internal reflection of the guided light varies along the length to homogenize, along the length of the homogenizing component, an amount of light transmitting out of the homogenizing component.

Light guiding unit

A power device comprising: multiple light sources (A,B,C) arranged in a housing (); a mask () arranged around each of the multiple light sources in the housing and including multiple chambers (A,B,C) corresponding to the multiple light sources to direct light (A,B,C) emitted from the multiple light sources to a common area () on an outer surface of the housing; and multiple image sources (A,B,C) corresponding to the multiple light sources arranged between the multiple light sources and the outer surface of the housing, light emitted from each of the multiple light sources reaching a corresponding image source before reaching the surface of the housing and projecting a corresponding image () on the common area on the surface of the housing.

Systems and methods for projecting multiple images on a common area of an outer surface of a housing

A housing element of a product includes a foil having a decorated side, where this decorated side of the foil is covered by a grip layer for realizing a grip effect. The other side of the foil is covered by a supportive layer. The grip layer may have a rib structure. Each of the supportive layer and the grip layer is applied to the foil in an injection molding process. A processing temperature of the material of the grip layer is significantly lower than an activation temperature of printing ink of a decorative covering of the foil, so that washout of the printing ink is prevented. Further, material of an adhesive layer of the foil is configured to establish adhesion to the material of the grip layer at this relatively low temperature.
