Abstract:
1. An electric personal care device for dispensing a liquid, comprising: a housing having a liquid outlet; a liquid channel leading to the liquid outlet; a pump for causing liquid displacement through the liquid channel to the liquid outlet; a motor operatively coupled to the device for driving movement of at least a movable part of the device; and a control structure having an inclined surface operable between at least a first position on the inclined surface and a second position on the inclined surface; and a rod, arranged between the motor and the control structure, wherein the control structure is arranged between the rod and a resilient wall of the pump communicating with or part of the liquid channel, wherein the rod is movable by the motor between a pushing position and a return position, in which pushing position the rod keeps the resilient wall displaced inwardly compared with a position of the resilient wall when the rod is in its return position, and wherein the inclined surface of the control structure is arranged to control the displacement of the resilient wall between the pushing and return positions of the rod such that, different amounts of displacement of the resilient wall occurs between the first and second positions on the inclined surface.
