20080236565 | Hair Styling Device - A hair styling device includes a styling rod and a handle connected with the styling rod, which features a holding device and a pivoting cap connected to the holding device. The cap can be pivoted between an opening and closing position and serves to close the housing for the gas cartridge. The inside of the cap features in the area of its free end contact parts, which are designed to exert, upon closure of the cap, a displacement force on the gas cartridge in axial direction of the device. As a result, by closing the cap, the gas cartridge is moved directly into operating position during which a needle valve is inserted in a valve of the gas cartridge by displacing the gas cartridge. In addition, in the area of its linkage to the holding device, the cap features a clamp which, upon opening of the cap, exerts an axial displacement force on the gas cartridge in longitudinal direction of the device toward the handle's end of the hair styling device and thus brings it into a position of removal. | 10-02-2008 |
20120080295 | DOMESTIC APPLIANCE WITH AN ELECTRONIC SAFETY SYSTEM AND A MECHANICAL LOCKING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A DOMESTIC APPLIANCE - The present invention relates to a domestic appliance with a power source being electrically connectable to an electrical motor for driving a processing tool, the domestic appliance comprising a first mechanical switch being manually switchable from a first position into a second position, a second mechanical switch being manually switchable from a first position into a second position, an electronic safety system with first means for detecting the position of the first mechanical switch and second means for detecting the position of the second mechanical switch, the electronic safety system being constructed such that the motor is only connected to one or both poles of the power source if both mechanical switches are switched into their second position and if the first mechanical switch is switched into its second position before the second mechanical switch is switched into its second position. | 04-05-2012 |
20140295236 | RETARDING MECHANISM - A novel retarding mechanism is shown to reduce the inertia of the battery shell during a linear detachment movement from a handle of an appliance, such as a battery powered razor or shaver. The retarding mechanism is based on the interaction between the battery shell found on a lower portion of a razor handle and a battery carrier found within the upper portion of a razor handle. Specifically, an engagement spring having at least one knob type structure is mounted on an interior surface of the battery shell and axially engages protrusions and/or recesses on an exterior surface of the battery carrier during a detachment movement of the battery shell. During opening or detachment of the shell, the engagement of the knob with protrusions produces a retarding force effect of the shell during the linear detachment. | 10-02-2014 |
