摘要:
The invention relates to a shaving apparatus with at least one cutting unit (3) detachably coupled to a drive mechanism (8) via a coupling (18, 16), and to such a coupling. Said coupling comprises a second coupling member (16) having a coupling cavity (21). A coupling head (19) of a first coupling member (18) is in a form-locking engagement in said coupling cavity to transfer a driving force, and is detachable from said coupling cavity by movement in an axial direction (24) parallel to an axis of rotation of the cutting unit. Said second coupling member comprises a plurality of recesses (31), each recess extending in a radial direction from said coupling cavity and being delimited by two radially extending side wall sections (31a,31b). Each of said two radially extending side wall sections forms an edge (32a, 32b) with a bottom surface of said second coupling member, and the edges of each recess converge in a radially outward direction in relation to said axis of rotation.

A blade (300) for an inner cutter of a rotary shaver generally includes an annular base plate (304) and a plurality of cutting units (306) spaced about the base plate. Each of the cutting units has a pair of generally radially spaced-apart cutting edges and an orientation axis (OA 1 ,etc.). The orientation axes define a plurality of differently angled spaces (A 1 , etc.) about the blade.

Shaving apparatus having at least one cutting unit (3) with an external cutting member (4) and a rotatable internal cutting member (6) each having cooperating cutting edges (8,9) forming bearing surfaces of a first bearing, said external and internal cutting member (4,6) having a second bearing with bearing surfaces (14,17). To minimize the friction between the cutting edges (8,9), means (13) with visco-elastic properties are provided between the two bearings, so that during operation the distance between the bearing surfaces (8,9) of the first bearing adjusts oneself to the distance between the bearing surfaces (14,17) of the second bearing. During cutting of hairs the means with visco-elastic properties behave as a stiff element whereas during periods in which no hairs are cut these means behave relatively soft so that the cutting gaps between the cutting edges are closed.

Shaving apparatus having at least one pivotable cutting unit (3) comprising an external cutting member (4) and an internal cutting member (6) which is drivable relative to said external cutting member, a drive mechanism (8) for driving said internal cutting member (6) into rotation, and a coupling member (18) having a coupling head (19) and a coupling body (20), which coupling head can be coupled to a coupling element (16) of the internal cutting member (6) in a detachable manner, said coupling body (20) being coupled to said driving mechanism (8). The coupling head (19) can be inserted into a cavity (21) of the coupling head (19). For driving said internal cutting member into rotation, the coupling head (19) comprises curved surfaces (25) for cooperation with surfaces (28) of said cavity (21). To improve the drive system, the coupling head (19) and the cavity (21) of the coupling element (16) have an approximately triangular shape which is rotationally symmetrical through 120?? as seen in the direction of the axis of rotation (24) of the coupling head (19).

A rotary type electric shaver including an outer cutter (10) and an inner cutter (20) which is rotationally driven while making sliding contact with the interior surface of the outer cutter, wherein the gap between an outer circumferential side surface of the outer cutter and a rotating side surface of the inner cutter varies in circumferential positions of the outer cutter from wide to narrow.
摘要:
Method of manufacturing a blade-shaped hair-pulling element (13) for a cutting unit (3) of a shaver. The shaver comprises a plurality of cutter elements (8) and a corresponding plurality of hair-pulling elements (13) each arranged in front of one of the cutter elements for movement therewith relative to an outer cutting member (4) and each slidable on the inner cutter element so as to be movable relative thereto for its hair-pulling action. In order to increase the distance over which the hairs are pulled up, an end portion (22) of each hair-pulling element (13) has an enlarged thickness. The hair-pulling element is obtained by means of a process of shaping the outline (stamping, etching, laser) followed by a bending process. The method to obtain the thickened end part (20) is characterized in that during the process of shaping the outline, the hair-pulling element is provided with a tab (23) which in a following bending process is bent against the end portion (22) of the hair-pulling element.
