Abstract
A dry shaving apparatus includes a housing, at least one short-hair cutter, a long-hair trimmer that is pivotally-mounted to the housing such that the long-hair trimmer can pivot into and out of an operating position, an electric drive mechanism which during operation drives said short-hair cutter and said long-hair trimmer, a pivotally-mounted lever, a control rod, and a single control switch mechanism which during operation moves the long-hair trimmer into and out of the operating position and turns the electric drive mechanism on and off, the control switch mechanism being coupled to the long-hair trimmer by the pivotally mounted lever and the control rod and having an ON position and a first and second OFF position. The control switch mechanism in the first OFF position deactivates the long-hair trimmer and maintains the long hair trimmer in the operating position.
