The present invention relates to a hair removal device, such as an electric shaver or epilator, comprising a hair cutting unit, a motor for driving the hair cutting unit, a measurement unit for measuring motor current and/or induced voltage and a cutting activity determinator for determining cutting activity from the half cycles of the signal of said measurement unit, wherein a wear determination unit is provided for determining wear of the hair cutting unit from the cutting activity signal of said cutting activity determinator.

Hair removal device

The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of comb-like cutting elements each with at least one row of cutting teeth and movable relative to each other, wherein at least one row of cooperating cutting teeth define a convex or concave skin contact surface when viewed in a cross-sectional plane parallel to a reciprocating direction of the cutting teeth and perpendicular to said skin contact surface.

Electric beard trimmer

The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer. The cutter system includes a pair of comb-like cutting elements with cooperating toothed cutting edges and movably supported relative to each other by a support element, wherein lateral ends of at least one of the cutting elements are provided with lateral protection elements having rounded and/or chamfered edge contours for soft skin engagement. The lateral protection element is integrally formed in one part with the cutting element by an end portion of the cutting element bent away from a skin contact surface thereof and enveloping a gap movably receiving the other cutting element and/or enveloping the support element.

The present invention relates to cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, including a pair of cooperating cutting elements, with a first cutting element and a second cutting element, a motor driving the second cutting element in a movement direction, a support structure supporting the pair of cooperating cutting elements, where a stacked sandwich arrangement is provided by the second cutting element being sandwiched between the first cutting element and the support structure.

The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of comb-like cutting elements with cooperating toothed cutting edges and movably supported relative to each other by a support element, wherein lateral ends of at least one of the cutting elements are provided with lateral protection elements having rounded and/or chamfered edge contours for soft skin engagement, wherein the lateral protection element is enveloping and covering a gap movably receiving the other cutting element and/or enveloping the support element.

The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of comb-like cutting elements each with at least one row of cutting teeth and movable relative to each other, wherein one of said cutting elements has thickened and/or rounded tooth tips overhanging the tooth tips of the other cutting element, characterized in that wherein said overhanging rounded tooth tips include a composite thickening which includes an outer shell surrounding an inner core, said shell and said core being made from different materials and wherein said shell is made from metal.

The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of comb-like cutting elements each with at least one row of cutting teeth and movable relative to each other, wherein one of said cutting elements has thickened and/or rounded tooth tips overhanging the tooth tips of the other cutting element wherein said cutting elements each include two rows of cooperating cutting teeth which are different from each other in terms of shape and/or size and/or position of said overhanging tooth tips.

The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, including a pair of cooperating cutting elements movably supported relative to each other by a support structure, where one of the cutting elements is sandwiched between the other cutting element and the support structure, where the support structure includes at least one spacer defining a gap in which the sandwiched cutting element is movably received, the spacer and thus said gap having a thickness larger than the thickness of the sandwiched cutting element by an amount smaller than 40 &#x3bc;m.

The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of cooperating cutting elements movably supported relative to each other by a support structure, wherein one of the cutting elements is sandwiched between the other cutting element and the support structure, wherein cutting teeth in a middle section of the row are different from cutting teeth in end sections of the row in terms of at least one of shape, size and position of the tooth tips.

An electric shaver, comprising an elongated handle for manually moving the personal care device along a body surface, a working head attached to said handle for effecting a personal care treatment to said body surface, at least one detector for detecting at least one behavioral parameter indicative of a user's behavior when handling the personal care device, and an adjusting mechanism for adjusting at least one working parameter of the working head in response to the detected behavioral parameter.

Personal care device

A hair removal device, in particular an electric shaver, comprising a working head attached to a handle for moving the working head along a skin surface, said working head including at least a pair of short hair cutters and at least one trimmer neighboring at least one of said short hair cutters, wherein said short hair cutters and said trimmer are movable relative to said handle under a skin contact pressure.

A hair removal device comprising a working head attached to a handle for moving the working head along a skin surface is provided. The working head includes at least one hair removal tool defining a skin contact contour of the working head, wherein the at least one hair removal tool is movable relative to the handle under a skin contact pressure by a support structure to allow for pivoting of the working head's skin contact contour relative to the handle. The support structure movably supporting the hair removal tool relative to the handle is configured to allow for pivoting of the skin contact contour relative to the handle about an angle of about +/&#x2212;15&#xb0; or more under a contact force of about 0.75 N or less and/or about an angle of about +/&#x2212;20&#xb0; or more under a contact force of about 1.5 N or less.

A skin treatment device such as an electric shaver, having a housing forming an elongated handle for manually moving the device along a body surface, a working head attached to the handle for effecting a treatment to the body surface, at least one detector for detecting at least one treatment parameter of the device, and a feedback indicator for indicating feedback information based on the detected treatment parameter to a user during the personal care treatment. More particularly, such feedback indicator includes a light emitter configured to emit light signals onto a mirror in front of a user.

A device such as an electric shaver includes a working head attached to a handle for moving the working head along a skin surface, wherein at least one working tool is moveable relative to the handle under a skin contact pressure by a support structure to allow for pivoting of the working head's skin contact contour relative to the handle, wherein a biasing device is provided for biasing the working tool.

A personal care device, in particular skin treatment device such as electric shaver, including an elongated handle for manually moving the personal care device along a body surface, a working head attached to said handle for effecting a personal care treatment to said body surface, at least one detector for detecting at least one behavioral parameter indicative of a user's behavior when handling the personal care device, and an adjusting mechanism for adjusting at least one working parameter of the working head in response to the detected behavioral parameter.
