  • Patent number: 11331821
    Abstract: An electric shaver with a drive shaft having a first rotary axis and a drive pin connected to the drive shaft eccentrically with respect to the rotary axis, and a driven shaft having a second rotary axis. The driven shaft is indirectly coupled to the drive shaft by a gear mechanism capable of converting a rotary motion of the drive shaft into a reciprocating motion of the driven shaft.

  • Patent number: 10350772
    Abstract: An electrically driven device provided with a housing, an electric motor with a drive shaft having a first rotary axis and a drive pin connected to the drive shaft eccentrically with respect to the rotary axis, and a driven shaft mounted in the housing for performing a pivoting is disclosed. The driven shaft is indirectly coupled to the drive shaft by means of a gear mechanism converting a rotary motion of the drive shaft into a reciprocating pivoting motion of the driven shaft. The gear mechanism comprises one intermediate shaft having a second rotary axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate shaft and at least one crank arm coupled to the drive pin. The crank arm is pivotably mounted in the housing and is coupled to the intermediate shaft thereby converting a rotary motion of the drive shaft into a reciprocating pivoting of the intermediate shaft about the second rotary axis.

  • Publication number: 20110131812
    Abstract: 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.
