MOTOR FOR A PERSONAL CARE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18521040 titled 'MOTOR FOR A PERSONAL CARE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a motor for a personal care device, consisting of a stator, a rotor, and a spacer to define a minimum airgap between them.
- The motor includes a stator with a stator surface.
- It also includes a rotor with a rotor surface opposite the stator surface.
- A spacer projects between the stator and rotor surfaces to create a minimum airgap.
- The spacer is located on either the rotor or stator surface and has a contact surface to engage with the other surface.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in various personal care devices such as electric shavers, hair trimmers, or toothbrushes.
Problems Solved
This innovation helps to maintain a consistent airgap between the stator and rotor, ensuring efficient motor operation and reducing wear and tear.
Benefits
- Improved motor efficiency - Extended motor lifespan - Enhanced performance of personal care devices
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Motor Efficiency in Personal Care Devices: A Breakthrough Technology"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to motor designs in personal care devices, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions

The abstract does not mention the material of the spacer and its potential effects on motor performance.
What is the expected lifespan of a motor using this technology compared to traditional designs?
The abstract does not provide information on the expected lifespan of the motor with this innovation.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to an aspect there is provided a motor () for a personal care device (). The motor () comprises: a stator () comprising a stator surface; a rotor () comprising a rotor surface disposed opposite the stator surface; and a spacer () projecting between the stator surface and the rotor surface so as to define a minimum airgap between the stator () and the rotor (). The spacer () is disposed on or at one of the rotor surface and the stator surface, and has a contact surface configured to engage with the other one of the rotor surface and the stator surface.
