Razor handles are provided for razors having a battery-powered functionality. Methods of manufacturing such handles are also provided. In one implementation, the handle includes a unitary grip portion constructed to receive a razor head at one end thereof, and a battery cover, mounted on the grip portion. The razor handle allowing for varying vibration settings.

Razors

Razor handles are provided for razors having a battery-powered functionality. Methods of manufacturing such handles are also provided. In one implementation, the handle comprises: a load comprising a motor coupled to a power source; a user-operable switch for controlling energy flow between the power source and the load; a control logic; an arming circuit to prevent the user-operable switch from causing drainage of the power source; and a locking circuit that receives a switch signal from the user-operable switch and an arming signal from the arming circuit, wherein the locking circuit outputs a motor control signal to the control logic in response to the states of the switch signal and the arming signal, wherein the arming circuit comprises a timer for changing the state following lapse of a time interval and an arming switch having a first state and a second state.

The invention relates to an electrically driven razor and an associated charging station, wherein at least one drivable cutting or shearing part is supported on a shearing head disposed on the razor housing and wherein at least one active thermocouple that can be electrically actuated is thermally coupled to a passive cooling element on the side that can be cooled relative to the ambient temperature. The passive cooing element in this arrangement is disposed having at least one free end section on or in the region of the shearing head, such that it contacts the skin of a user in shaving mode.

Electric razor having integrated cooling

Battery operated appliances are provided. Some appliances include a housing defining a chamber having an interior wall, electronics within the chamber, a battery cover, and a closing system including (a) a first electrically conductive member secured to the battery cover, and (b) a second electrically conductive member secured to the interior wall of the housing and configured to engage the first electrically conductive member and thereby mechanically secure the battery cover to the housing while also establishing electrical contact between the first and second electrically conductive members.

Battery-operated razor

A shaving head for an electric shaving apparatus, having an under cutter comprising at least one blade which is drivable in at least one direction of movement relative to an outer cutter. To achieve a good shaving result while at the same time protecting the skin to be best possible effect, it is proposed providing the blade with an outer boundary section which is raised in relation to the cutting edge, faces in the direction of the outer cutter and inclines upwardly from the cutting edge toward the outer cutter.

Shaving head for an electric shaver

Razor handles are provided, for razors having a battery-powered functionality. The razor handles include a housing constructed to hold a battery, and, within the housing, a carrier including a pair of battery clamp fingers configured to exert a clamping force against the battery when the battery is in place in the housing.

Razor with clamp force housing for battery

Water-tight battery powered appliances, for example personal care appliances such as razors and toothbrushes, are provided. The appliances include a housing having a seal that allows gases, e.g., hydrogen, to vent from the appliance without allowing water to enter.

Venting water-tight battery-operated devices

Razor handles are provided for razors having a battery-powered functionality. Methods of manufacturing such handles are also provided. In one implementation, the handle includes a unitary grip portion constructed to receive a razor head at one end thereof, and a battery cover, mounted on the grip portion. The grip portion and the battery cover, when joined, may together define a water-tight unit prior to mounting of the razor head on the grip portion.

A razor includes a load and a voltage conversion system coupled to a voltage source and the load for transforming a variable voltage provided by the voltage source into a constant operating voltage for driving a load.

Powered wet-shaving razor

Battery-operated appliances

Handles are provided for battery operated razors. In some implementations, the handles include (a) a housing including a grip portion defining a chamber having an interior wall, and a battery cover removably mounted on the grip portion, the housing being configured to contain one or more batteries, and (b) a closing system, including a first component within the battery cover, and a second component secured to the interior wall of the grip portion, the first component being configured to move axially within the battery cover during engagement of the battery cover with the grip portion, and being biased toward a predetermined axial position.

A wet shave razor is provided that includes (a) a handle having a hollow head; (b) a cartridge having a body, the body having a surface for engaging the skin of the user and having at least one blade mounted therein; (c) an interconnect member, joined to the cartridge, constructed to pivotably and removably mount the cartridge to a distal end of the handle; and (d) an ejecting mechanism operatively connected to the handle to allow a user to disengage the interconnect member from the distal end of the handle, the ejecting mechanism including an actuator. The razor provides a vibrating function, and thus further includes a vibrating mechanism. A resilient element is positioned between the actuator and the handle, to damp vibration of the actuator in response to the vibration signal.

Oscillating razors

The invention is directed to a shear system for an electric hair removing apparatus, in particular for an electric shaving apparatus, including at least one shearing unit having an outer cutter and an undercutter that are set in relative motion. The shear system of the invention includes at least one feeding device arranged to precede the shearing unit and is characterized in that the feeding device is set in motion relative to the outer cutter.
