A skin treatment head includes treatment head surface; multiple bristles extending from the treatment head surface and defining a virtual edge face circumferentially surrounding the bristles and a virtual top face defining a first height of the bristles; and one or more rotatable elements extending from the treatment head surface and having a second height lower than the first height, such that in order to apply a tangential force to rotate the rotatable elements, the skin treatment head is tilted relative to a skin surface.

Exfoliating head with rolling elements

Provided is a cutting assembly () for cutting hairs on skin. The cutting assembly comprises a guard plate () for contacting the skin. The guard plate has a first toothed edge (A) which extends along an axis. The first toothed edge comprises guard teeth (A). The cutting assembly further comprises a cutter plate () which is disposed on the guard plate. The cutter plate is slidable relative to the guard plate in directions parallel with the axis. The cutter plate comprises a second toothed edge (A) extending parallel with the axis. The second toothed edge comprises cutting teeth (A). The cutter plate and the guard plate are aligned such that the hairs are cut by the cutting teeth against the guard teeth when the cutter plate slides. The cutting teeth each include a cutting portion (A) and a tip (A). The tip is outwardly enlarged relative to the cutting portion in at least one direction parallel with the axis. The minimum space between adjacent tips is less than the minimum space between adjacent guard teeth. The tip thereby maintains overlap with at least one of the guard teeth during sliding of the cutter plate relative to the guard plate. Further provided is a trimmer including the cutting assembly.

The invention relates to an epilating device () for epilating hairs growing from skin, comprising a housing; an epilating system having a plurality of hair-clamping elements arranged adjacent to each other rotatably on a curved supporting shaft which extends in a plane of curvature; a drive system arranged () to rotate the hair-clamping elements; a skin-contacting member () arranged to contact the skin during use and to be pivotable relative to the housing about a first pivot axis; a compression member arranged adjacent to the epilating system to exert a compression force on the epilating system directed along a compression line, said compression member being pivotable relative to the housing about a second pivot axis to adjust a position of the compression line relative to the housing; and a linkage mechanism linking the skin-contacting member and the compression member such that a pivotal motion of the skin-contacting member about the first pivot axis over a first pivot angle results in a pivotal motion of the compression member about the second pivot axis over a second pivot angle equal to the first pivot angle; wherein the compression member is arranged in a fixed position relative to the curved supporting shaft; and the linkage mechanism links the skin-contacting member () and the supporting shaft such that the pivotal motion of the skin-contacting member () about the first pivot axis over the first pivot angle results in a pivotal motion of the supporting shaft about the second pivot axis over the second pivot angle.

Epilating device for epilating hair

There is disclosed an attachment () for a cutting head () of a hair cutting device (). The attachment () comprises first and second side portions () configured to cover, respectively, first and second sides () of a stationary cutting member () of the cutting head (), and an intermediate portion () interconnecting the first and second side portions () and configured to cover an outer surface () of a first wall portion () of the stationary cutting member (). The first and second side portions () are configured to protrude relative to the plurality of primary cutter teeth () of the stationary cutting member (), which define a cutting zone of the cutting head. The first and second side portions () and the intermediate portion () define a recess exposing the primary cutter teeth () of the stationary cutting member (). The recess is non-interrupted over a distance of at least 50% of the length of the cutting zone.

Hair cutting system and attachment

A skin treatment head for use in a body care device for treating a skin, the body care device comprising a housing and a skin treatment head associated with the housing, wherein the housing further comprises an actuator configured to at least partly rotate the skin treatment head about an axis (A), wherein the skin treatment head comprises a plurality of bristles defining a virtual edge face circumferentially surrounding the plurality of bristles and a virtual top face defining a first height (h) of the bristles relative to a skin treatment head surface of the skin treatment head, wherein the skin treatment head further comprises a plurality of rotatable elements, wherein each rotatable element is configured to rotate when a force in a tangential direction is applied to a rotatable element surface of the rotatable element, wherein the rotatable element surfaces are configured lower than the top face and wherein in certain embodiments the rotatable element surfaces at least partly extend beyond the edge face.

The present invention relates to food preparation. In order to provide an apparatus for preparing food of increased variance with improved cooking time and also improved food quality, a desk-appliance apparatus () for preparing food is provided, comprising a food preparation chamber (), an air movement device (), a heating device (), and air guiding means (). The food preparation chamber is provided by a container structure () at least partly enclosing a receiving volume () for receiving food to be prepared by a through-streaming of hot air; wherein the container structure comprises sidewalls () and a bottom wall (), wherein the bottom wall and/or one of the side walls is air-permeable providing an air entry opening () for entering of hot air into the receiving volume, and wherein the container structure comprises an air discharge opening (). The heating device is configured to heat air of an air flow provided by the air movement device. The air guiding means provide an air duct arrangement () from the discharge opening via the heating device and the air movement device to the air entry opening. The heating device is arranged out-of-sight of the receiving volume.
