Abstract
A shaving system includes a shaving device and a cleaning device. The cleaning device includes a receiving space for receiving the shaving device and a reservoir that contains a cleaning liquid. When the shaving device is placed in a cleaning position, the shaving device and the cleaning device are arranged in a manner that the receiving space of the cleaning device receives a shaving unit of the shaving device. In this cleaning position, the devices are arranged and cooperate such that the fluid is transported from the reservoir to the receiving space, where the shaving unit is located. In this way, the shaving unit can be cleaned.
Claims19
A cleaning device for use in a shaving system, said cleaning device comprising:
- a supporting structure for supporting a shaving device;
- a receiving space for receiving a shaving unit of the shaving device when the shaving device is arranged in a cleaning position supported by the supporting structure;
- and
- a reservoir for containing a cleaning liquid and a fluid pumping unit for transporting the cleaning liquid from the reservoir to the receiving space;
- and
- a driven coupling member and a drive unit coupled to the driven coupling member and to the fluid pumping unit such that the fluid pumping unit is drivable by the driven coupling member,
- wherein the driven coupling member is accessible from an outside of the cleaning device, and
- wherein the driven coupling member is arranged such that, in the cleaning position of the shaving device, the driven coupling member is coupled to a driving coupling member of the shaving device such that the fluid pumping unit is drivable by the driving coupling member.
A cleaning device for use in a shaving system, said cleaning device comprising:
- a supporting structure for supporting a shaving device;
- a receiving space for receiving a shaving unit of the shaving device when the shaving device is arranged in a cleaning position supported by the supporting structure;
- a reservoir for containing a cleaning liquid and a fluid pumping unit for transporting the cleaning liquid from the reservoir to the receiving space;
- a driven coupling member and a drive unit coupled to the driven coupling member and to the fluid pumping unit such that the fluid pumping unit is drivable by the driven coupling member;
- and
- a lower housing portion and an upper housing portion detachably coupled to the lower housing portion,
- wherein the reservoir is arranged in the lower housing portion and accessible for replacement by removing the upper housing portion from the lower housing portion,
- wherein the driven coupling member is accessible from an outside of the cleaning device, and
- wherein the supporting structure, the receiving space, the driven coupling member and the fluid pumping unit are arranged in the upper housing portion.
A cleaning device for use in a shaving system, the cleaning device comprising:
- a support configured to support a shaver;
- and
- a housing having a receiving space for receiving a head of the shaver when the shaver is arranged in a cleaning position supported by the support,
- wherein the housing includes:
- a reservoir for containing a cleaning liquid and a fluid pump configured to transport the cleaning liquid from the reservoir to the receiving space, and
- a driven coupler and a driver coupled to the driven coupler and to the fluid pump such that the fluid pump is drivable by the driven coupler driven by a driver of the shaver.
