  • Patent number: 6357118
    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 reciprocating cutting element (4), and with at least one shaving head (6) mounted on two support arms (28, 29) of a supporting frame (40 for pivotal movement about a pivot axis (Z) within a shaving head frame (7), said shaving head being formed by at least two cooperating cutting elements (4, 5) disposed in the shaving head frame (7), wherein the shaving head (6) is mounted and held for pivotal movement about the pivot axis (Z) by means of a conical bearing (K) acted upon by a spring force of a spring element (50).

  • Publication number: 20020020066
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a dry shaving apparatus with a housing, comprising a housing part (G), at least one cutter element capable of reciprocating in a horizontal plane (E) and a removable frame (WR) having at least one cutter element (S) and detachably held on the housing part (G) by at least two detent mechanisms (R1, R2; R3, R4), said detent mechanisms (R1, R2; R3, R4) being formed by a seating surface (20, 21) provided on the removable frame (WR) and a seating surface (80, 90) of a resiliently mounted detent element (18, 19) exerting a locking force (FR), wherein the detent mechanisms (R1, R2; R3, R4) are capable of exerting a holding function and a vibration-free positioning function of the removable frame (WR) on the housing part (G).

  • Publication number: 20010003870
    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).

  • Patent number: 6226871
    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.
