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.

Electric dry shaving apparatus with a movable shaving head arrangement

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.

The invention is directed to a cutter block for a dry shaving apparatus, having cutter blades of circular circumference arranged transversely to its longitudinal axis on a carrier, the cutter blades being received by a cylindrical metal-plastic carrier comprising a metallic core and a cylindrical plastic body encasing it closely and forming a compact unit therewith.

Cutter block for dry shaving apparatus

In a device for converting the rotary motion of an eccentric driven by a motor shaft into a reciprocating motion of a working tool coupled with a shaft pin in electrically powered appliances, in whose housing a double-armed rocker arm connected to the shaft pin is pivotably mounted, an oscillating body is provided for conversion of motion between the rocker arm and the eccentric, said body consisting of at least one flexible stud or a stud provided with a film hinge, and a connecting rod with a connecting rod head running at least partially parallel to this stud and comprising a film hinge, whereby the head of the connecting rod is connected to the eccentric and the stud is rigidly attached to the rocker arm.

Device for converting the rotary motion of an eccentric driven by a motor shaft into an oscillating motion of a working tool in electrically powered appliances, consisting of a double-armed rocker arm and an oscillating body, connecting the rocker arm with the eccentric, composed of three connecting arms, two of which are assembled into a frame-like structure by appropriate design, whereby the eccentric engages one meeting point and the third connecting arm engages the other meeting point, said third arm being rigidly connected with one lever arm of the double-armed rocker arm. The connecting arms are each provided with a film hinge, of which two hinges lie on a common middle/bending axis which intersects the lengthwise axis of the double-armed rocker arm.
