Abstract: An electric shaver including a single electric motor and a plurality of, for instance three, inner and outer cutters. The output shaft of the motor meshes with gear chains coupled to the inner cutters so that the inner cutters are rotated by the motor; and the output shaft of the motor is further coupled to a speed reduction mechanism that has a gear meshing with gears provided on the peripheries of the outer cutters so that the outer cutters are rotated by the motors at a slower rotation than the inner cutters.

Abstract: A razor that facilitates shaving effectiveness by effectively rendering the surface to be shaved taught. The razor comprises two or more surfaces wherein at least one of the surfaces is a cutting surface. The surfaces are inclined relative to each other, such that the skin and soft tissue in the area to be shaved is immobilized or pinched toward the cutting surface.

Abstract: A rotary dry shaver includes an outer shearing foil supported on a head frame and an inner cutter holder having a center axis and carrying a plurality of inner blades in hair shearing engagement with the outer shearing foil. The inner cutter holder is operatively connected to a rotary drive shaft of an electric motor so as to be driven thereby to rotate about the center axis. The outer shearing foil is held movable in the direction of the center axis relative to the head frame, while the inner cutter holder is movable along the center axis relative to the rotary drive shaft so as to be floatingly supported thereby. The dry shaver is characterized in that the outer shearing foil is connected to the inner cutter holder by means of a pin extending along the center axis such that the outer shearing foil and the inner cutter holder are movable together along the center axis relative to the head frame as well as the rotary drive shaft.

The subassembly can be readily removed from the device for ease of cleaning and for readily reversing or replacing the cutting blade.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a rotary type electric razor which includes an arch-shaped external cutting edge detachably mounted on an upper side of a main body case, an internal cutting edge driving unit supported for free vertical movement with respect to the main body case, and a motor speed detecting means provided within the main body case. The internal cutting edge driving unit comprises a rotary internal cutting edge which rotates in sliding contact with respect to the internal face of the external cutting edge, an internal cutting edge driving chassis for rotatably supporting the rotary internal cutting edge, a motor mounted on the internal cutting edge driving chassis, and a drive transmitting means for transmitting the output of the motor to the rotary internal cutting edge. The motor speed detecting means comprises a rotary member mounted to the output shaft of the motor, and a photosensor opposite the rotary member.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an electric dry shaving apparatus with a housing, a movably carried shaving head, a shaving assembly including at least one circular upper cutter and rotary lower cutter and having its axis of rotation at right angles to a shearing plane extending parallel to the outer surface of the upper cutter. The movable shaving head axis of symmetry intersects the shearing plane in any direction in the geometric center of the shaving assemblies. The geometric center is provided as the stationary pole.

Abstract: A shaving apparatus having a housing with a holder for a flexible cutting plate and a cutting member which has rigid cutting elements and can be driven so as to be rotatable with respect to the cutting plate, the cutting elements comprising cutting sides at the radial ends. The cutting plate comprises individual supporting disks.

Abstract: In a clothes shaver or an electric shaver having an outer blade including mesh, inner blades which are energized to the direction of the outer blade in a state of standing by a blade force up spring, and a fan which is fit to a rotary shaft of an inner blade supporting base and is possible to rotate with the inner blade supporting base, when fixing the fan of the blade force up spring is pressed to the bottom face of the inner blade supporting base by an end face of the fan which faces to the bottom face of the inner blade supporting base to fix on the bottom face thereof in one action.

Abstract: A holder for household implements, especially a can opener, comprises a bracket (10) attached to a supporting surface and having at its end facing away from the supporting surface a transverse circular opening. A member of the casing (12) of the household implement is cylindrical and insertable in the opening from either side of the bracket (10). The casing member has two sets of axially spaced-apart ridges (22, 24). The first outer set constitutes bayonet joint ridges (22), corresponding bayonet joint ridges (26) on a clamping ring (14) being turned to engage with said first bayonet joint ridges (22) to secure the casing member in the opening in that the ring (14) and an abutment (13) on the casing (12) are pressed against the opposite sides of the bracket.

Abstract: A can opener for opening cylindrical metal cans by means of a reciprocating, circular motion produced by holding the can opener in the hand of the user and moving it up and down while also rotating it about a vertical axis. The can opener includes a handle at its upper end on a hollow, cylindrical shaft which includes at its bottom end a series of, for example, four radially extending arms having at their distal ends downwardly pointed, "V" shaped blades having sharp tips, and a smaller, spring-bias shaft which telescopically fits into the main shaft and which has at its lower end a magnet. The ends of the cutting blades also preferably include inverted "U" shaped hooks which engage and hold the upper, vertically extending peripheral lip of the can during the cutting operation. The cutting blades telescopically fit into the radially extending arms, so that they can be easily removed and replaced with cutting blades that provide a different effective diameter of cutting action for different sized cans.

Abstract: A relatively flat and entirely portable can lid removing device comprising can end retaining structure which permits relative rotation of the can and the lid removing device, a can lid cutter which cuts the lid from the remainder of the can during the mentioned relative rotation and creates no sharp edges or burrs in the process, so that the remainder of the can may be used as a container, e.g. a drinking can.

Abstract: Disclosed is apparatus for removing the top of a metallic container such as an aluminum beverage container. The device, in removing the container top, leaves the bead around the top of the container intact. The severed edge remaining on the container is substantially burr free, thereby rendering the container suitable for use as a tumbler or other household container.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement of electric shaver having a shearing blade assembly held in a suspended way. An electric shaver according to this invention uses a cantilever spring plate which functions to push and raise the outer blade as a counter action to the descent of the outer blade which is caused by a strong push of the shaver against the skin of the face, thus assuring a pleasing touch on the face and the clean shaving.

Abstract: A dry rotary shaver having a floating shear plate which is supported beneath its periphery by resilient spring means. The spring support is fixed within the shaver head, prevents shear plate rotation, and acts as a means to retain the shear plate and rotary cutting element in place when the shaver head is removed from the shaver housing. Furthermore, the spring support may incorporate stop means to prevent hang up of the shear plate on the shaver opening in the event the shear plate is forceably pressed inwardly, as by a finger.

Abstract: An electric razor is disclosed herein having a case housing an electric motor and a gear driving train operably coupled to a moving cutting head. The head includes at least one cutting blade driven by the motor either in a back and forth stroking manner or in a rotary motion. The cutting head is movably carried on the case by an oscillating plate driven by the gear train so that the entire cutting head including the cutting blade or blades moves while the cutting blade or blades are driven in their stroking or rotary movement. Tension rollers are provided about the periphery of the oscillating plate engageable with the skin of the user for stretching the skin to expose more of the hair shaft preparatory for cutting.
