  • Patent number: 11745367
    Abstract: An electric razor reduces damage to the skin during shaving. The electric razor includes a head portion that holds a comb-shaped outer blade and mesh-shaped outer blades each of which extends in a first direction so as to be movable in a second direction intersecting the first direction, comb blade urging members that urge the comb-shaped outer blade in the second direction, mesh blade urging members that urge the mesh-shaped outer blades in the second direction, and an engaging mechanism that, when the mesh-shaped outer blades are moved toward a unit base against urging force of the mesh blade urging members, moves the comb-shaped outer blade in a state where the comb-shaped outer blade does not protrude from the mesh-shaped outer blades with respect to the unit base.

  • Patent number: 11685067
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electric razor that can further suppress irritation to a skin. An electric razor of the present disclosure includes a body configured to be gripped by a user, a head having three or more blade blocks, and a head support connecting the head and the body to each other. The head support supports the head in a floatable-and-sinkable way with respect to the body. The head includes a case that supports the three or more blade blocks, and a blade float that allows each of the three or more blade blocks to float and sink with respect to the case. A first urging force with which the head support urges the head in a floating direction is larger than a second urging force with which the blade float urges the plurality of blade blocks which are one or more less than three or more blade blocks in a floating direction. The first urging force is smaller than a third urging force with which the blade float urges all of the three or more blade blocks in the floating direction.

  • Patent number: 11679520
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electric razor in which a support frame that supports an outer blade and an inner blade, which constitute a block, can be smoothly removed. An electric razor according to the present disclosure includes a main body gripped by a user and a head having a blade block including an outer blade (that is, a slit blade, a mesh blade) and an inner blade disposed inside the outer blade and sliding with respect to the outer blade. The head includes a base, a support frame that supports the blade block so as to be able to float and sink, a case held by the support frame, a hook that locks the support frame or the case to the base, and at least one push-up member that urges the support frame in a direction away from the base.

  • Patent number: 8414466
    Abstract: A centrifuge rotor cover has a lid, a circular plate attached to the lid with click holes formed in a circle, a knob and knob shaft, a plate spring attached to a surface of the knob facing the circular plate and an elastic body pushing the lid against the rotor depending on the distance between the knob and the lid. If this distance is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the plate spring is caught repeatably in the click holes as the knob is turned to cause sounds and vibrations that indicate the knob is not tightened securely.

  • Publication number: 20120004089
    Abstract: The lid-section mechanism for rotors comprises a lid, a knob, a knob shaft, a circular plate, a plate spring, and an elastic body. The circular plate is attached to the surface of the lid that faces the knob and has click holes that are formed on a circle. The plate spring is attached to the surface of the knob that faces the circular plate and, if the distance between the knob and the lid is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the plate spring is caught in the click hole. The elastic body pushes the lid against the rotor depending on the distance. Turning the knob when the distance is equal to or less than the predetermined value repeats the cycle in which the plate spring is caught in the click hole and then the plate spring is bent and removed from the click hole.

  • Patent number: 7839046
    Abstract: A claw pole type motor includes a rotor having a magnet arranged on an outer circumferential surface thereof and a stator including an annular iron core and an annular coil received within the iron core. The iron core includes a yoke portion opened in an inner circumferential surface opposite to the rotor, a plurality of upper claw-shaped magnetic poles and a plurality of lower claw-shaped magnetic poles which are arranged along an inner circumferential surface of the annular coil. The upper/lower claw-shaped magnetic poles are curved to extend axially downwardly/upwardly from an upper/lower inner edge of the yoke portion, respectively. The upper and the low claw-shaped magnetic poles are alternately arranged along a circumferential direction of the iron core. The yoke portion has cutout portions formed in non-magnetic path regions which do not include magnetic paths through which magnetic flux flows between neighboring claw-shaped magnetic poles across the annular coil.
