The invention is directed to a cleaning device 5, with a cradle structure 7 receiving the shaving head 3 of a shaving apparatus 1, as well as at least one cleaning fluid container 6, 61 and a device adapted to be driven by a motor 28 for feeding the cleaning fluid, wherein the cradle structure 7 receiving the shaving head 3 is arranged separately from the cleaning fluid container 6 and is supplied with cleaning fluid from the container.

Cleaning device for the shaving head of a dry shaver

The invention is directed to a cleaning device 5 for cleaning the shaving head 3 of a dry shaving apparatus 1, with a cradle structure 7 adapted to receive therein the shaving head 3, a cleaning fluid container 61 holding a cleaning fluid, as well as a device adapted to be driven by a motor 28 for feeding the cleaning fluid, wherein the cleaning fluid container 61 is separable from the cleaning device 5 and includes a filter means 24 integrally formed therewith.

Cleaning device for cleaning the shaving head of a dry shaving apparatus

The invention is directed to a control arrangement for the cleaning device 5 of a dry shaving apparatus 1, including a cradle structure 7 into which the shaving head 3 of the dry shaving apparatus 1 is insertable, wherein the cradle structure 7 is supplied with fluid from a container 6 by a feed device. Associated with the cradle structure 7 is an air drying device, with the feed device and the air drying device being activatable by an electric device provided with a switching means 9 which controls in succession the individual stages of the cleaning and drying cycle of the shaving head 3.

Method of cleaning a shaving head of a dry shaving apparatus

The invention is directed to a plucking head for epilating appliances, with a motor-powered plucking tube provided with gripping members and rotatably mounted in, and partly enclosed by, the casing of the appliance. A rotary cam is aligned coaxially within the tube and is operatively associated with the gripping members, as well as with a step-by-step mechanism movably connected to both the plucking tube and the cam.

Plucking head for epilating appliances

The invention is directed to an electric shaving apparatus having a housing and a shaving head assembly which is adapted to pivot relative to the housing about a pivotal axis Z and is comprised of a shaving head frame, a shaving plane formed by at least one outer cutter having arcuate extensions to the longitudinal sides of the shaving head frame, and of at least one inner cutter operatively associated with the outer cutter and driven by a drive mechanism, wherein the outer cutter is arranged in an outer cutter frame member and the outer cutter frame member is mounted in the shaving head frame so as to be pivotal about the pivotal axis Z.

Shaving apparatus

The invention is directed to an electric shaving apparatus having a housing and a shaving head assembly which is adapted to pivot relative to the housing about a pivotal axis Z and is comprised of a shaving plane formed by at least one outer cutter having arcuate extensions to the longitudinal sides of the shaving head frame, and of at least one inner cutter operatively associated with the outer cutter and driven by a drive mechanism, wherein the inner cutter is coupled to the drive mechanism arranged in the housing by means of a coupling member in a manner permitting pivotal movement about the pivotal axis Z.

Epilation head for motor-powered epilating appliances

The invention is directed to a dry shaving apparatus comprising a pair of parallel, elongate shaving heads having inner cutters operatively associated with an outer cutter and arranged on a common coupling member which is coupled to a drive member of an electric drive mechanism, wherein at least one of the inner cutters is movably coupled to the coupling member transversely to the oscillating direction of the inner cutters.

Dry shaving apparatus

To treat small areas of the skin, to obtain neat contours and to avoid pinching the skin, the appliance which is comprised of a motor 2 contained in a casing 1, a driving device 9, 11, 13 and an expiation head 5 includes a working surface defined by the end surface of a hollow cylinder 7 (=epilation head 5). In the interior of the hollow cylinder 7, a tweezing device is provided having tweezing members 16 acted upon by a revolving cam 18.

Epilating appliance

An electric shaving apparatus has a housing serving as a hand grip (1) with projecting support lugs (11, 12) that defines pivot axis (Z). Shearing head system (2) is movable about pivot axis (Z) and comprises a shearing head frame (3) that has at least one upper cutter (4) with arcuate extensions towards the longitudinal sides (5, 6) of the shearing head frame (3), and at least one under cutter (25, 26, 34) driven by a motor and in cooperative relation with the upper cutter (4). The shearing head system (2) is arranged to pivot about the pivot axis (Z) in such a manner that the shearing area usable for shaving will engage the skin surface and not become disengaged from the skin surface as directions of sliding movement of the shearing head system change.

Electric shaving apparatus with a pivoted shearing head system

In a shear element for a dry shaving or hair cutting apparatus, the shear element being provided with hair inlet openings having an entry zone and a cutting zone, the improvement wherein a first approach edge is provided intermediate the entry zone and the cutting zone, the first approach edge being substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the entry zone, whereby a guidance path is provided which changes direction at least twice between the entry zone and the cutting zone.

Shear element for a hair cutter

A hair trimmer has a shear blade assembly mounted in a frame and composed of a stationary blade and a reciprocating blade which slides on the stationary one. One or more biasing springs are interposed between the frame and the reciprocating blade to urge the same into proper contact with the stationary blade. A pivoted lever is interposed between the spring(s) and the reciprocating blade and serves to divert the biasing force to particular portions of the blades, such as the cutting edge, where it is needed while at the same time relieving other portions so that overall friction between the blades is reduced.
