A dry rotary shaver having a floating shear plate which is supported beneath its periphery by resilient spring means. The spring support is fixed within the shaver head, prevents shear plate rotation, and acts as a means to retain the shear plate and rotary cutting element in place when the shaver head is removed from the shaver housing. Furthermore, the spring support may incorporate stop means to prevent hang up of the shear plate on the shaver opening in the event the shear plate is forceably pressed inwardly, as by a finger.

Dry shaver with floating peripherally supported shear plate

A dry rotary shaver has a floating shear plate disposed within a head opening which provides an outer stop, and a rigid stop member which limits inward shear plate movement. The stop member is provided with one or more outwardly extending rigid posts of fixed length which are received within complimentary notches in the wall of the shear plate.
