Publication number: 20140331501Abstract: The invention relates to an electrically operated shaver with at least one upper blade attachable to a shear head frame by means of a removable frame, on the underside of which lies a linearly oscillating lower blade. The lower blade is connected via a clutch engagement with an oscillating bridge mounted on either side on the shaver by resilient arms. The oscillating bridge is also connected to the drive shaft of an electric motor via a gear mechanism, so that when the motor is running, the oscillating bridge, and thus also the lower blade, is set in linear reciprocating motion. According to the invention, the resilient arms of the oscillating bridge are arranged on the removable frame. In this way, the oscillating bridge which often wears out quickly, can also be replaced when the cutting device is replaced. This prevents malfunction and potentially high repair expenses, thus reducing costs.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2014Publication date: November 13, 2014Inventors: Andreas Erndt, Joachim Krauss, Diana Kappes, Nicolas Salomez, Daniel Dietzel

Publication number: 20110131812Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrically operated hair cutting device having a short hair cutting system fashioned on a front end of a housing and having a bearer part, attached to the front or rear side of the housing, that accepts at least one additional cutting device. The cutting device is made up of at least two cutting elements that slide relative to one another via a drive motor, the cutting elements of the additional cutting device being fashioned in a shaving head frame. The shaving head frame, with the cutting elements, is mounted in the bearer part against the force of a spring system. In addition, the shaving head frame is guided upward and downward in the bearer part via guide elements. According to the present invention, the shaving head frame is pivotably mounted on the bearer part via a central bearing. In this way, a shave is ensured that is particularly gentle to the skin.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2010Publication date: June 9, 2011Inventors: Andreas Erndt, Daniel Dietzel, Thorsten Piesker, Johannes Stimpel, Nicolas Salomez, Uwe Ludaescher, Matthias Matern

Patent number: 7409960Abstract: The invention aims at improving a cleaning fluid container (3) for a cleaning device (RV) for personal needs, in particular for cleaning a shaving head (SK) of a dry shaving apparatus (R), with a housing (20), with an inlet port (15) provided on the housing (20) to admit cleaning fluid (11), with an outlet port (14) equally provided on the housing (20) to discharge the cleaning fluid (11), and with a filter element (F), said filter element (F) being provided with filter pores for filtering out solid particles, particularly hair particles, and being arranged in a flow area between the inlet port (15) and the outlet port (14), in a manner enabling the pump capacity to be significantly reduced or the service life of a cartridge (K) to be substantially increased. This is accomplished in that the filter element (F) has pores of a size causing part of the particles to penetrate the filter element (F) according to their size.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2006Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Jurgen Hoser, Daniel Dietzel

Publication number: 20080047145Abstract: A system having an electric shaving apparatus and at least one accessory adapted to be detachably arranged on the shaving apparatus. The shaving apparatus has a shaving head, which has a short-hair cutting device that has at least one perforated outer cutter and at least one undercutter cooperating with the outer cutter. The accessory has two opposite retaining arms adapted to be locked into place on the shaving apparatus. The accessory is adapted to be placed on the shaving head of the shaving apparatus (1) in such a manner that it projects from the shaving apparatus in the area of its retaining arms, and the retaining arms are adapted to be locked into place on the shaving apparatus using a swiveling motion of the accessory, while the accessory continues to rest against the shaving head.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2005Publication date: February 28, 2008Inventors: Daniel Dietzel, Matthias Wetzel, Norbert Kreutz, Matthias Matern, Volker Stenger, Jurgen Hoser
