Abstract
A handle assembly for a hair removal device, including a handle with a connection portion for supporting a hair removal head and an elongated grip portion, at least a first accessory component that is disassemblable from the grip portion, and a holding mechanism, a first portion of the holding mechanism being engageable with a second portion of the holding mechanism to resist disassembly of the first accessory component from the grip portion. A recycling process for the same.
Claims20
A handle assembly for a hair removal device, comprising:
- a handle, the handle including:
- a connection portion for supporting a hair removal head, the connection portion extending from a first end adjacent to the hair removal head to a second end;
- and
- an elongated grip portion, the elongated grip portion extending from a first end connected to the second end of the connection portion to a second end;
- a first accessory component that is disassemblable from the elongated grip portion, the first accessory component including a first magnet;
- and
- a second accessory component that is disassemblable from the elongated grip portion, the second accessory component including a second magnet,
- wherein the first accessory component and the second accessory component are engageable with the elongated grip portion, wherein the first accessory component and the second accessory component are in direct contact with one another via the first magnet and the second magnet, and wherein the elongated grip portion remains connected to the connection portion when the first accessory component and the second accessory component are disassembled from the elongated grip portion.
