Abstract: A rotary shaver 1 comprises at least an external cutting element 7 and a disc-shaped element 10. The disc-shaped element covers at least part of the external cutting element. The external cutting element is at least provided with a passage 11. The disc-shaped element is at least provided with a pen 17 having a length, which pen is press-fitted in the passage. Between a wall 22 of the passage and the pen at least one vent 21 extends at least along the length of the pen. The pen is provided with at least three ribs 19 extending parallel to a central axis of the pen, wherein the at least one vent is located between adjacent ribs and the wall of the passage.

Abstract: Hair cutting apparatus having at least one cutting unit (2) with a stationary cutting member (3) and reciprocable movable cutting member (4) each having cooperating bearing surfaces (7,8) with cutting edges (9,10). To minimize the friction between the bearing surfaces, means (16) with visco-elastic properties are provided between the coupling element (14) and the movable cutting member (4) resulting in a small cutting gap between the bearing surfaces. During cutting of hairs the means with visco-elastic properties behave as a stiff element whereas during periods in which no hairs are cut these means behave relatively soft so that the cutting gaps between the cutting edges are closed.

Abstract: Shaving apparatus with cutting members (3, 5) which are movable relative to one another other and are each provided with a row of substantially V-shaped teeth (4, 6) having edges (7, 8), a cutting opening (9?, 9?) between each pair of cooperating teeth (4, 6) for catching hairs, said cutting opening having a shearing angle between 1° and 30°, wherein the cutting openings (9?, 9?) are not completely closed during operation of the shaving apparatus.

Abstract: Shaving apparatus with at least one cutting unit (3) having an outer cutter (4) and an inner cutter (6) which is rotationally drivable with respect to the outer cutter by means of an driving shaft (18) of a driving device, which driving shaft exerts a prestress force (FY) on the inner cutter in the direction of the outer cutter. During cutting of a hair, the hair exerts a cutting force (FR) on the inner cutter (6), which force has a direction that is opposite to the driving force (FD) for driving the inner cutter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for shaving hair (93) and to a shaving head (9) used therein. The shaving head (9) has at least one cutting member (17, 19) having a cutting edge (23) and a cutting direction (X), and the device has an actuator (29) for effecting a periodical motion of said cutting member relative to a base portion (3) of the device. According to the invention said periodical motion is effected in an imaginary plane which extends transversely to the cutting edge (23) and which has a first motion portion (89) and a second motion portion (91) following the first motion portion. The first motion portion is mainly directed in the cutting direction (X), and the second motion portion is mainly directed opposite to the cutting direction and is closer to the skin (93) than the first motion portion. Said periodical motion results in a reduced risk of skin irritations and skin injuries and provides a smooth shaving result.
