Electric grooming appliance including magnetic coupling system

A handheld grooming appliance comprising:

• a housing defining a handle, a head, and an interior space;
• a drive system including a motor, the motor being disposed in the interior space of the housing;
• a grooming device operatively connected to the motor and supported by the head of the housing, the grooming device including:
• a first blade assembly including a first moveable blade and a first stationary blade;
• a second blade assembly including a second moveable blade and a second stationary blade;
• and
• a third blade assembly including a third moveable blade and a third stationary blade;
• a magnetic coupling system configured to releasably attach the grooming device to the head of the housing, the magnetic coupling system including a plurality of first magnets located on the grooming device and a plurality of second magnets located on the head of the housing, the plurality of first magnets and the plurality of second magnets providing an attractive force for securing the grooming device to the housing during operation of the handheld grooming appliance, wherein the attractive force between the plurality of first magnets and the plurality of second magnets is in a range of 5 Newton to 35 Newton, and the magnetic coupling system being arranged to allow selective detachment of the grooming device from the housing when a user applies a force greater than the attractive force between the plurality of first magnets and the plurality of second magnets;
• wherein the plurality of first magnets and the plurality of second magnets are arranged to allow the grooming device to be attached to the head of the housing in a plurality of orientations with the first blade assembly, the second blade assembly, and the third blade assembly in operative connection with the motor, the magnetic coupling system remaining stationary relative to the housing during operation of the drive system;
• and
• a Y-shaped frame located on the grooming device, the Y-shaped frame having three distal ends, and each magnet of the plurality of first magnets being disposed on respective one of the distal ends of the Y-shaped frame.
