Filed:

Oct 23, 2018

Appl. No.:

16/168373

Inventors:

- Seattle WA, US
Lane Kleppen - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

A24D 3/04
A24D 3/02

Abstract:

Various structures for interfaces for a smokable element to connect to a smoke and/or tar filter, and related methods, are provided. For example, the structures and methods enable repeatably and securely connecting or interfacing a smokable element, e.g., an herbal joint, to an air filter, e.g., a smoke and/or tar filter. For instance, an interface can have a horn-shaped end with a deformable opening that receives a smokable element, creating at least a partial seal between the deformable opening of the horn-shaped end and the smokable element. Also, the other end of the interface can have a round end that attaches to an air filter.

Inventors:

- Eindhoven, NL
LANE EVAN KLEPPEN - SEATTLE WA, US

Assignee:

Koninklijke Philips N.V. - Eindhoven

International Classification:

A61C 17/34
H02K 7/14
H02K 33/00

Abstract:

A resilient motor mount () for a power toothbrush () configured to limit the axial and rotational displacement of a shaft () of a motor (). The displacement limits are designed to protect the toothbrush () from physical damage and to prevent rotational slipped poles, i.e. “cogging” errors, between the permanent magnets and poles of the resonating toothbrush motor ().
