The invention is directed to an electrically operable shaving apparatus (,) including at least one short-hair cutter (,) and a long-hair trimmer unit (,) disposed on a housing, with at least one cutting edge formed by cutting teeth of an outer cutter and an inner cutter, in which a component (,), which acts as a guard protecting the skin, is associated with the cutting edge in at least one operating position, said component (,) ceasing to act as a guard protecting the skin in at least one further operating position, wherein said component (,) is displaceable in conjunction with the long-hair trimmer unit (,) into at least one operating position in which said component (,) acts as a guard protecting the skin, and wherein on displacement into a further operating position the long-hair trimmer unit (,) is released by relative opposing movements of the long-hair trimmer unit (,) and the component (,).

Electric shaver

The invention is directed to a rotary cylinder (7) for an epilating appliance comprising several pairs of clamping members (8) arranged in an angularly offset relation to each other, and actuating members (22) serving to move the clamping members (8) in pairs into, and subsequently out of, relative clamping engagement in the area of a plucking zone of the epilating appliance. Further, at least one control member is provided for controlling the actuating members (22). According to the invention, each pair of clamping members (8) has associated to it a separate, individually movable actuating member (22).

Rotary cylinder for an epilating appliance

Epilating appliance

The invention is directed to an appliance for the removal of body hairs which is adapted to receive a first attachment incorporating an epilating cylinder or, alternatively, a second attachment incorporating a long-hair trimmer. The attachment incorporating the long-hair trimmer includes a blade or an outer cutter adapted to be driven by a gear arrangement and executing a reciprocating motion in alternate directions relative to a comb or an inner cutter.

Appliance for the removal of body hairs

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.

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

The invention is directed to an electric shaving apparatus having a housing 1 and a shaving head 2 mounted so as to be pivotal relative to the housing 1 about a pivotal axis Z, having an outer cutter 36 and an inner cutter 31 operatively associated with the outer cutter 36 and driven by a motor, and further having an actuating switch 4 which is provided on the housing 1 and is equipped with a control device for displacing at least one slidably mounted control element 33 which engages in the pivot area 10 of the shaving head 2, limits the pivotal movement of the shaving head 2, and is guided along a cam path 13. The cam path 13 is integrally formed in the shaving head 2 such that, on displacement of the actuating switch 4 into an Off position, the shaving head 2 is forced into a mid-position in which it is capable of being locked.

Electric 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.
