  • Patent number: 10532473
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric shaver. More particularly, the present invention relates to an electric shaver comprising a handle and a shaver head including at least one cutter unit having a drivable cutter element and a shear foil, wherein the shaver head is connected to the handle by means of a support structure which in some cases may provide for some movability of the shaver head relative to the handle. The shaver head and/or the at least one cutter unit may have an elongated contour with a main axis extending transverse to the handles' longitudinal axis and substantially parallel to a cutting oscillation axis of the cutter element. The shaver head is spaced apart from the handle with a gap defined between a bottom face of the shave head and a top face of the handle, the gap forming a ring-shaped contraction in the outer contour of the shaver around the support structure and giving access to the support structure bridging the gap.
