The invention is directed to a dry shaving apparatus comprising a casing (7) formed by face walls (1, 2) and narrow sidewalls (3, 4, 5, 6), an electric driving mechanism for at least one cutter assembly (S), at least one control switch (20), and a guard member pivotally mounted on the casing (7) and having a cap portion (18) of an essentially U-shaped configuration for protecting the shaver assembly, wherein the cap portion (18) with at least one guard wall (16, 17) extending parallel to the face walls (1, 2) is pivotally mounted on at least one of the face walls (1, 2) of the casing (7) by means of a rotary joint, and the control switch (20) is actuatable only when the cap portion (18) and the guard wall (16, 17) are in a pivot position in which the shaver assembly (S) is released.

Electric shaving apparatus

The invention is directed to an electric dry shaving apparatus with a housing, a movably carried shaving head, a shaving assembly including at least one circular upper cutter and rotary lower cutter and having its axis of rotation at right angles to a shearing plane extending parallel to the outer surface of the upper cutter. The movable shaving head axis of symmetry intersects the shearing plane in any direction in the geometric center of the shaving assemblies. The geometric center is provided as the stationary pole.
