Abstract: The invention refers to an electric shaver with a first cutter element and a second cutter element which are movable relative to each other in an oscillating manner along a first horizontal cutter oscillation axis. Each cutter unit is mounted in the cartridge pivotably about a second horizontal tilting axis and axially displaceably parallel to a vertical axis. The first horizontal cutter oscillation axis is perpendicular to the vertical axis and perpendicular to the second horizontal tilting axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric shaver comprising a shaver housing, a shaver head including at least one cutter element drivable by a drive unit in an oscillating manner along a cutter oscillation axis and a non-cutting auxiliary function element for applying an auxiliary skin treatment other than hair cutting to a skin portion to be shaved, said auxiliary function element having an applicator head positioned aside the cutter element. The shaver head and/or the at least one cutter element is supported pivotably relative to the auxiliary function element at least about a pivot axis parallel to the cutter oscillation axis.

Abstract: The invention refers to an electric shaver comprising a shaver housing, a shaver head and at least one cartridge mounted in or on said shaver housing. The adaption of the cutter element to the contour of the skin to be shaved is improved by permitting at least one additional movement of the at least one cutter unit relative to the shaver head.

Abstract: The invention refers to a coupling for transmitting a driving movement from an oscillating transmitter of an electric shaver to a cutter element.

Abstract: An electrically driven shaver comprises a housing and at least one hair cutting element that is driven by an electromotor. A thermoelectric skin cooling element and the electromotor are electrically operable by a microcontroller and an on/off switch which is electrically connected with the microcontroller. The microcontroller is adapted to activate and deactivate operation of both the electromotor and the skin cooling element. The skin cooling element is located adjacent to the hair cutting element. The microcontroller is adapted to immediately deactivate operation of the electromotor and relative to that to deactivate operation of the skin cooling element at later point of time, both in response to the “off” actuation of the same on/off switch.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A dry shaver with a housing featuring a drive motor and a shaving head connected to the housing for pivotal movement about a pivot axis. The shaving head mounts at least two shaving systems, each comprised of an outer cutter and associated under cutters. The under cutters are adapted to be driven in an oscillatory linear motion relative to the outer cutter. The at least two under cutters are mounted respectively on separate oscillatory elements in the shaving head. The oscillatory elements are each connected to the drive motor via drive elements and are driven in mutually opposite directions.

Abstract: A lift mechanism for a cleaning device of a dry shaving apparatus includes a base plate with guides and a chassis plate mounting the chassis and arranged for displacement relative to the base plate. Coiled-strip springs arranged on the guides spring-load the chassis plate against the base plate. On actuation of the lift mechanism the coiled-strip springs are untensioned by coiling up along the guides, thereby lifting the chassis plate. The coiled-strip springs reduce the load on the construction and ensure an almost noiseless lift mechanism.

Abstract: A shaving apparatus cleaning device includes a reservoir for holding a supply of a cleaning fluid and a cleaning receptacle for receiving the shaving apparatus. The reservoir has a discharge orifice through which the cleaning fluid is allowed to flow from the reservoir to the cleaning receptacle. The reservoir and the cleaning receptacle are designed so that the level of the cleaning fluid in the reservoir is higher than a pre-determined minimum level of the cleaning fluid in the cleaning receptacle, and a flow of fluid generated by the difference between levels and flowing from the reservoir to the cleaning receptacle is controllable in dependence upon the actual fluid level in the cleaning receptacle.
