  • Publication number: 20230150157
    Abstract: A rotary electric shaver includes an outer cutter which has an upper surface with annular shaving faces, in which many hair-entry apertures are formed, and an inner cutter having small blades, which rotate in sliding contact with the lower surface of the outer cutter from below the shaving faces. The outer cutter (10) has a plurality of concentric annular shaving faces (16, 18), which are integrally formed therewith. The density of the hair-entry apertures (65) is varied in the circumferential direction of the plurality of annular shaving faces (16, 18). The rotary electric shaver increases the shaving area of the outer cutter to improve shaving efficiency and also restrains excessively close shaving thereby to protect skin even when the contact pressure of an area near the center of the outer cutter against skin increases.

  • Patent number: 10357889
    Abstract: An inner blade of a rotary electric shaver decreases a rake angle and increases an erecting angle in a small blade, which can prevent remaining hair from appearing on one end side in a cross section of hair, and which can prevent poor shaving performance and increased sliding resistance against an outer blade. An inner blade of a rotary electric shaver includes an outer blade whose upper surface functions as an annular shaving surface having multiple hair inlets, and the inner blade having a plurality of small blades which rotate while coming into sliding contact with a lower surface of the outer blade.

  • Patent number: 9533421
    Abstract: In a reciprocating-type electric shaver, an inner blade has an attachment groove which is open downward in a lower end of a side edge. An inner peripheral portion of the attachment groove has an engagement groove which is recessed in an in-plane direction on a wall surface of the side edge and in a longitudinal direction of the inner blade. An inner blade base has a projection at a position corresponding to the attachment groove. The projection can be elastically deformed in the in-plane direction on the wall surface of the side edge and in the longitudinal direction of the inner blade, and is formed so that an engagement claw disposed in a distal end of the projection can enter and engage with the engagement groove. The engagement claw engages with the engagement groove, thereby causing the inner blade to be fixed to the inner blade base.
