Abstract: The invention is directed to a dry shaving apparatus with an electric drive mechanism (A) provided in a housing (1) and a housing part (G) in which a removable frame (WR) equipped with at least one cutter element (S) is held by at least one detent mechanism (R), wherein upon release of the removable frame (WR) by the detent mechanism (R) the removable frame (WR) is movably held in a holding position by a retaining device (HV), wherein in said holding position provision is made for at least one distance (W, W1) between a wall of the removable frame (WR) and a wall of the housing part (G), and the removable frame (WR) is adapted to be set in motion by the drive mechanism (A).

Abstract: The invention is directed to a dry shaving apparatus with a housing (1) in which an electric drive mechanism (2) is provided having a drive element (3) for the transmission of a driving motion to at least one reciprocatory cutting element (4), and with at least one shaving head (6) oscillating in a horizontal direction and formed by a shaving head frame (7, 55) in which at least two cooperating cutting elements (4, 5) are provided, wherein the electric drive mechanism (2) is mounted for oscillation in the housing (1) and is adapted to be set in oscillation by the inner forces necessarily occurring in operation of the dry shaving apparatus, and wherein the oscillatory motions of the electric drive mechanism (2) are transmitted to the shaving head (6) in order to set said shaving head in oscillation as well.

Abstract: Dry shaving apparatus comprises a first individual shaving unit (111) having at least two first cutters cooperating together, including a first outer cutter and a first undercutter; at least a second individual shaving unit (112, 113) having at least two second cutters cooperating together including a second outer cutter and a second undercutter; biasing element for the cooperation of the cutters; and at least one drive source coupled with at least one cutter of each individual shaving unit. All cutters of at least the first (111) of the individual shaving units are coupled to the drive source to be driven for cutting and skin agitating purposes and the outer cutter of at least a further one (112, 113) of the individual shaving units is inactive.

Abstract: A dry shaving apparatus including a housing having two plastic support lugs, and a shaving head assembly arranged between the two support lugs. The shaving head assembly includes a plastic shaving head frame, at least one outer cutter, and at least one inner cutter operatively associated with the outer cutter. The shaving head assembly is mounted on the support lugs in a manner pivotal about a pivot axis by means of bearing screws. The shaving apparatus also includes two biased springs and two metal bearing elements, wherein each of bearing elements is provided with a thread, is fixedly arranged in a respective one of the support lugs, and has an end surface facing the shaving head frame.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a holding device for battery-powered electrical appliances as, for example, shavers, hair cutters and the like, which include at least one rechargeable storage cell, in which the storage cell of the electrical appliance is connected to a source of power for recharging purposes by a coupling means establishing electrical contact. In addition to providing the retaining members, the holding device includes a coupling means for establishing electrical contact between the electrical appliance one the one side and an electrical lead or a source of power on the other side, and an interlocking device arranged between the electrical appliance and the coupling means such as to selectively permit an electrical connection to be made between the electrical appliance and the coupling means. Following removal of an interlocking device, for example, by hand, the connector plug of the electrical appliance may be plugged into the connector socket of the coupling means.
