摘要:
The present invention relates to a personal care device having a surface intended to engage the skin and/or hair, such as a blade razor or an electric shaver. The surface of such a device is formed from a substrate on which a hard coating layer is provided. A lubricating layer comprising pendant hydrophilic polymer chains is provided on the hard coating. The hard coating has particles incorporated therein, said particles having covalently attached thereto said pendant hydrophilic polymer chains. In addition, the present invention relates to a process of making a skin engaging surface for such personal care devices.

A cutter unit (1) for a rotary shaver is formed by an outer cutting element or cap (2) which interacts with a rotating inner cutting element or cutter (4) to trap and cut hairs. The cap has an annular shaving track (8) of domed cross-section having slots (30) through which the hairs may protrude. The cutter has a convex upper face (22) to engage the shaving track and a concave forward face (26).
摘要:
A shaver comprises a skin engaging portion and a cutting element, wherein the skin engaging portion comprises a force-generating member that can be selectively activated during use to increase or decrease a force of attraction to the skin of a user. The force-generating members may be electro-adhesive elements. A controller may be provided to selectively activate these elements.

A shaving apparatus provided with at least one cutting unit including external and internal cutting members drivable relative to each other. The internal cutting member includes at least one cutting element with a cutting edge movable along a cutting path while being driven in a driving direction. The external cutting member includes at least one hair-entry aperture bounded by at least first and second wall portions of the external cutting member, at least the first wall portion having a cutting edge for cooperation with the internal cutting member cutting edge. An edge portion of the second wall portion facing a plane along the cutting path, in a cross section taken substantially perpendicularly to the plane along the cutting path, touches a virtual circle in at least two contact points on the virtual circle.

A shaving apparatus (1) provided with at least one cutting unit (3) comprising an external cutting member (4) and an internal cutting member (5) which is drivable relative to the external cutting member in at least one driving direction P. The internal cutting member comprises at least one cutting element (10) comprising a cutting edge (11) being movable along a cutting path (12) whilst being driven in the at least one driving direction. The external cutting member comprises at least one hair-entry aperture (8) which is bounded by at least a first and a second wall portion of the external cutting member, at least the first wall portion (13) comprising a cutting edge A for cooperation with the cutting edge of the internal cutting member. An edge portion of the second wall portion (44, 54) facing a plane comprising the cutting path, in a cross section taken substantially perpendicularly to the plane (22) comprising the cutting path, touches a virtual circle (58) with a radius of at least (30) micrometer at at least two contact points (59, 60) on the virtual circle, and wherein the tangents at two successive contact points where the edge portion touches the virtual circle, enclose an angle of at least 150 degrees.
摘要:
The invention provides a device comprising (i) a filter having an autonomous mechanical end-of-life mechanism, (ii) a current path for an electrical or liquid current, wherein: the filter comprises an ion-exchange resin, wherein the ion-exchange resin undergoes a dimensional change when ion-exchanging; and the ion-exchange resin is arranged such that over a threshold value of the dimensional change the dimensional change of the ion-exchange resin mechanically adjusts the current through the current path.
