Abstract
A personal care device (10) configured to generate a feedback signal in response to excessive pressure applied by a user includes: a body portion (12) comprising a first interacting portion (40); a shaft (24) comprising a second interacting portion (42), wherein the shaft and the second interacting portion are moveable, in response to a force applied by the user, from a first position in which the first interacting portion does not physically interact with the second interacting portion, to a second position in which the first interacting portion physically interacts with the second interacting portion; and a sensor (70) configured to detect the physical interaction between the first interacting portion and the second interacting portion, and further configured to activate a feedback signal, in response to the detection of the physical interaction, to the user that excessive pressure is being applied.
