The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a sheet-metal based double-walled stationary blade () for a hair cutting appliance (), the method comprising: providing a first pre-product layer (), providing a second pre-product layer () which is separate from the first pre-product layer (), providing a guide slot () for a cutter (), and bonding the first pre-product layer () and the second pre-product layer () to one another such that the pre-product layers () are arranged to jointly receive a to-be-mounted cutter (), wherein the first pre-product layer () and the second pre-product layer (), in the bonded state, are at least partially offset from one another to provide a defined mating clearance fit for the to-be-mounted cutter (), wherein the pre-product layers () are bonded to one another at their longitudinal ends such that stationary blade teeth () are partially formed by the first pre-product layer () and partially formed by the second pre-product layer (), and wherein tips () of the stationary blade teeth () are arranged adjacent to a transition zone () between the pre-product layers (). The present disclosure further relates to a cutting appliance and to a blade set () for such an appliance.

The invention relates to an electric shaver () comprising a cutter unit (), an electric motor (), a load detector arranged to detect a load current of the motor () and a controller. The controller switches the average voltage from a first level to a second level once the load current exceeds a first threshold value (TH_TH), and switches the average voltage from the second level back to the first level if the load current falls below a second threshold value (TH_TL) and stays below the second threshold value (TH_TL) for a predefined time period. By operating on a lower energy consumption when the cutter unit of the shaver is not in contact with the skin, energy is saved without the need for a proximity sensor.

Electric shaver

A shaving apparatus provided with at least one cutting unit including external and internal cutting members drivable relative to each other. The internal cutting member includes at least one cutting element with a cutting edge movable along a cutting path while being driven in a driving direction. The external cutting member includes at least one hair-entry aperture bounded by at least first and second wall portions of the external cutting member, at least the first wall portion having a cutting edge for cooperation with the internal cutting member cutting edge. An edge portion of the second wall portion facing a plane along the cutting path, in a cross section taken substantially perpendicularly to the plane along the cutting path, touches a virtual circle in at least two contact points on the virtual circle.

A shaver comprises a skin engaging portion and a cutting element, wherein the skin engaging portion comprises a force-generating member that can be selectively activated during use to increase or decrease a force of attraction to the skin of a user. The force-generating members may be electro-adhesive elements. A controller may be provided to selectively activate these elements.

Shaver having adaptive surface

A shaving device () comprises a handle () provided with a reservoir () for holding a fluid, a treatment device () provided with at least one shaver element (), which treatment device () is pivotable with respect to the handle (), and a fluid channel () extending from the reservoir () to an outlet opening () at least near the treatment device (). At least a part of the fluid channel () is elastically deformable from a closed position, in which the passage through the fluid channel () is closed off, to an opened position, in which the passage through the fluid channel () is opened by pivoting the handle () with respect to the treatment device () from a rest position to an activated position, and vice versa.

Shaving device

The sprayhead device includes a housing () having an orifice plate () therein with at least one orifice opening () therethrough. A liquid line () delivers liquid to the sprayhead, where it proceeds through the orifice opening, wherein the liquid flow rate through the orifice and the liquid pressure are sufficiently great relative to the size of the orifice that the liquid moves through the orifice as a continuous stream. Gas is delivered to the housing and gas flows to the interior of the sprayhead through at least two openings () in the housing. The gas streams (flows) intercept the liquid flow perpendicularly, approximately 180&#xb0; apart. The velocity of the gas flows is sufficient to break up the liquid stream from the orifice into a spray of droplets of desired size and velocity, accelerating them out of an acceleration duct () exit portion of the housing.
