Abstract: An electric shaver comprising a shaver housing comprising a generally rectangular box-like casing and a head casing removably mounted on one end of the box-like casing; a finely perforated stationary shear foil replaceably mounted on the head casing; a reciprocable blade assembly positioned inside the head casing and outside the box-like casing and cooperable with the stationary shear foil to cut bristles entering the head casing through the perforations in the stationary shear foil; an electric drive motor accommodated within the box-like casing and having a drive shaft, said drive shaft having first and second ends opposite to each other and protruding outwards from the motor in opposite directions away from each other; means for connecting the first end of the drive shaft with the blade assembly to permit the blade assembly to undergo oscillation relative to the stationary shear foil; a photoelectric detector comprising a light emitting element and a photoelectric cell for providing an electric output sign

Abstract: A self-propelled record cleaner comprising a cleaning brush, a drive wheel, and a battery-operated motor unit for driving both of the cleaning brush and the drive wheel in the opposite directions with respect to each other. The self-propelled record cleaner has a bearing hole adapted to receive a turntable spindle when the record cleaner is placed on a disc record mounted on the turntable. This self-propelled record cleaner can run on the disc record around the turntable spindle while brushing or cleaning dusts off from the disc record when the battery-operated motor unit is in operation. Some of components of the record cleaners are mounted in a casing at a position where they can be supported above a non-grooved area of the disc record.
