Apertured foil for electric dry shavers

By providing at least three separate and independent foil members each of which cooperate with a separate and independent cutting blade system which is biased into engagement with the foil member and freely flexible in a plurality of directions, a substantially improved electric dry shaver is obtained. In the present invention, a unique cutting blade support assembly is provided which assures free flexible movement of the cutting blades, while also continuously and positively biasingly maintaining the cutting blades in contact with the foil member. In addition, the multiple foil construction of this invention provides a system wherein foil members having different physical characteristics are mountable to the shaver, thereby providing substantially enhanced cutting capabilities and more universal applicability to unusual or mixed shaving conditions.

Multiple foil and cutting blade assembly for electric dry shavers

By providing biasing member in direct controlled biasing engagement with the mesh screen or apertured foil of an electric dry shaver and its cutting blades, a substantially improved and enhanced cutting system is achieved. In this invention, the biasing member continuously provide biasing forces on the mesh screen or apertured foil to maintain the screen or foil in constant contact with the cutting blades of the shaver. As a result, separation of the foil from the blades is virtually eliminated and a substantially enhanced comfort and cutting efficacy is attained.

Enhanced cutting system for electric dry shavers

By providing an apertured foil for dry shavers having a natural radius of curvature which is defined by an elongated axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cutting blade assembly associated therewith, a substantially improved cutting system is attained. By employing the apertured foil of this invention, the apertured foil naturally wraps tightly about the cutting edges of the cutting blades and remains in close, following contacting interengagement therewith during use. In this way, close contacting interengagement of the apertured foil with the cutting edges of the cutting blades is maintained throughout the shaving use and substantially enhanced cutting results and comfort are realized.

Shaver

An improved depliatory device is provided having a magnifying lens for enlarging a user's view of a body site from which hairs are to be removed and an illumination lamp mounted in a housing of the device for illuminating the body site to enhance viewing.

Depilatory device

An improved depilatory device is provided having a brush which raises and presents body hairs to the hair removal body.

An improved depilatory device is disclosed which includes a plurality of rotating, generally cylindrically shaped, hair removal members having axes which are orientated substantially perpendicular to a subject's skin surface at a body site from which hair is to be removed. The subject's hair is engaged between juxtaposed surfaces of the members and is uprooted.

An electric dry shaver is described having an improved skin stretcher for enhancing performance of the shaver. The skin stretcher includes a slide body which can be positioned for effecting the skin stretching function or retracted for enabling the shaver to be used at difficult to reach body sites.

Electric shaver

An electric dry shaver is disclosed having a demountable hair pocket. An outer foil cutter member is supported by a hair pocket engaging means. When the hair pocket is mounted to the shaver, the foil is captivated to the hair pocket by an inner cutter carrier whose lateral dimension limits lateral movement of the foil on the engaging means.

Electric dry shaver

An improved method and apparatus for preparing a body site prior to the application of medical treatment at the site is disclosed. The apparatus and method provide for the use of a hand-held, electrically-energized clipper having a disposable cutter head for removal of body hair at the site. An economical, disposable cutter head is described.

Apparatus for a medical treatment preparation procedure

An electric dry shaver is described having a long hair trimmer which includes an elongated cutter member having a generally U-shaped configuration and elongated comb member having a U-shaped cross sectional configuration. The comb member is assembled with the cutter member to provide a relatively compact and rigid assembly.

Shaver for a medical treatment preparation procedure

A device for lifting and dislodging ingrown facial or neck hairs from the skin and which device is adapted for use either independently or as incorporated in the cutter head of electric dry shaver. The device includes a plate member formed with raking teeth projecting outwardly of a recessed portion of a hand-held casing or from the outer cutter of a cutter head assembly for traversal across the skin of the user.
