Dry shaver with a trimmer

Abstract

A dry shaver has a trimmer plate with a trimmer cutter at its upper end. The trimmer plate is slidably mounted on a vertically elongated front face of a shaver housing with the trimmer cutter projecting forwardly of the housing. The trimmer plate is pivotally connected at its lower end to a slider handle also slidable on the front face such that the trimmer plate is vertically movable together therewith along the front face between a lower inoperative position where it is kept lain flat against the front face and an upper operative position where it is pivoted into an inclined condition with respect to the front face so as to project the trimmer cutter forwardly by a greater distance from the front face than at the lower inoperative position. An improvement resides in that the trimmer plate is allowed to pivot towards the front face of the housing when it is in the upper operative position and is spring-biased into the inclined condition so that the trimmer plate can be retracted towards the shaver housing against the spring-bias while urging the trimmer cutter into intimate and constant contact with the skin for increased convenience of cutting the hairs.
