Abstract
A electric razor foil assembly comprises flexible outer and inner foils () supported by a structure () that is deformable to permit the foils to flex to follow concave or convex curvatures. The support structure includes two suspension members () supporting the foils along the respective side edges, and each support member () has several support elements () interconnected by hinges () and in sliding cooperation with the foils. The deformation of the suspension members is guided by guide plates located adjacent the suspension members. The foils are urged into cooperation by spring members () and the inner foil () is reciprocated by a drive arrangement including a flexible drive plate () disposed between the spring members () and the inner foil ().
