A personal hygiene device has a drive unit having a support, a stator fixedly mounted at the support, and an armature spring-mounted at the support for driven linear oscillating motion along a first longitudinal direction parallel to or coinciding with an x-axis of an x-y-z coordinate system. The armature has a center of gravity located in rest at a coordinate [x, y, z], and a drive shaft fixedly coupled with the armature and having a center of gravity located in rest at a coordinate [x, y, z]. A first treatment head assembly, detachably connected to the drive shaft, has a center of gravity located in rest at a coordinate [x, y, z]. A secondary mass element, spring-mounted at the support for essentially linear oscillating motion along the first longitudinal direction, has a center of gravity located in rest at a coordinate [x, y, z]. At least the coordinate [x, y, z] of the center of gravity of the armature has an offset in at least one of the y-direction and z-direction with respect to the coordinate [x, y, z] of the center of gravity of the drive-shaft or with respect to the coordinate [x, y, z] of the center of gravity of the first treatment head assembly, i.e., y&#x2260;yand/or y&#x2260;yand/or z&#x2260;zand/or z&#x2260;z; and the secondary mass element is configured such that the coordinate [x, y, z] of the center of gravity of the secondary mass element is aligned with the coordinate [x, y, z] of the joint center of gravity of the drive shaft, the first treatment head assembly and the armature in the at least one offset direction, i.e., y=yand z=z, so that a line connecting the coordinate [x, y, z] of the center of gravity of the secondary mass element and the coordinate [x, yz] of the joint center of gravity is parallel to or coincides with the x-axis.

Personal hygiene device

A personal care device, such as an electric toothbrush, has a handle having a longitudinal axis and a treatment head connected to a carrier. The carrier extends within the handle and is mounted at the handle for pivoting motion around a pivot axis against a restoring spring force. A drive unit, such as a linear actuator, is mounted on the carrier, and at least one electrical connector is arranged between the handle and the carrier to convey electrical energy from an energy source fixedly mounted with respect to the handle to the drive unit. The electrical connector can be realized as an elastic metal sheet element having a spring constant for providing at least a part of the restoring spring force.

Personal care device

Electric shaver provided with a handle and a shaver head including at least one cutter element, wherein the shaver head is connected to the handle by a support structure providing for a swivel and/or tilting axis about which the shaver head may swivel or tilt relative to the handle, wherein the cutter element is drivable by a drive unit in an oscillating manner along a cutter oscillation axis, the drive unit including an elongated drive transmitter coupled to the cutter element.

Electric shaver

An attachment for an epilator or an epilator having at least a clamping unit for clamping and plucking hairs that is arranged for driven movement relative to a housing along a hair capture direction is disclosed. The clamping unit has a moveable clamping element having a clamping surface and a hair guiding surface and a fixed clamping element having a clamping surface and a hair guiding surfaced. The moveable clamping element and the fixed clamping element are arranged to be cyclically moveable between an open position in which the two clamping surfaces have a minimal distance such that a gap for receiving hairs is formed between them and a closed position in which the two clamping surfaces abut on each other. The two hair guiding surfaces form a funnel in front of the gap in the open position with respect to the hair capture direction.

Epilator

A shaving unit for a dry shaver includes at least one outer cutter and one under cutter. Driven by a motor, the outer cutter and the under cutter are movable relative to each other in an oscillatory motion. The under cutter and the outer cutter, which are biased into relative engagement by at least one spring, slide along a common contact surface. The spring is arranged in such a way that its biasing force always acts at an angle to the direction of oscillation.

Oscillatory shaver

The present invention concerns a skin treatment device for professional and private use. In particular the present invention concerns a skin treatment device comprising a drive unit and an attachment, the drive unit comprising an output element and a rotary support element rotating about an axis of rotation, the rotary support element comprising protrusions, the attachment comprising a skin treatment element and a chassis for the skin treatment element, the chassis comprising a multitude of recesses to cooperate with the protrusions of the rotary support element of the drive unit, wherein the chassis can be supported by the rotary support element and wherein the protrusions can be brought into an engagement position with the recesses, while the chassis is supported by the rotary support element, and the protrusions can be brought into a disengagement position with the recesses, while the chassis is supported by the rotary support element.

Skin treatment device and implement

A shaving head for an electric dry shaver includes a base element for carrying at least three cutter units. Each unit provides an outer cutter and an inner cutter arranged to be moved in sliding contact relative to each other. At least one cutter unit includes a foil-type outer cutter. The shaving head further includes a first trimmer-type cutting unit that has a plurality of slots defined by a plurality of adjacent bar elements featuring cutting edges. The shaving head also includes a second trimmer-type cutting unit having an outer cutter that includes a plurality of teeth featuring cutting edges and spaced apart from each other so as to define a plurality of slits.

Shaving head with multiple shaving units

The invention relates to an electric shaver having a housing pivotably connected to a shaving head, where the shaving head can be locked at several predetermined positions.

Electric shaver comprising a pivotable shaving head

A cutting head for an electric razor is provided. The cutting head has at least one upper blade and a lower blade associated with the upper blade, which upper and lower blades are movably supported relative to one another and can be driven accordingly by a drive device. The upper blade has a contact surface for the skin to be shaved, which contact surface is formed by a plurality of webs that are each bounded by slots. The longitudinal extent of the webs runs substantially perpendicular to a threading edge bounding the contact surface. The contact surface is designed to be concave and rises towards the threading edge, where the threading edge has an outer radius and this outer radius encloses an angle of less than 90&#xb0;.

Cutting head for an electric razor
