Abstract: A dry shaver has an elongated shaving head with a lengthwise axis. The shaving head carries semi-cylindrical first and second outer cutters disposed on its opposite width ends, as well as a semi-cylindrical finishing cutter and a slit cutter interposed between the first and second outer cutters. The finishing cutter has a finishing foil which is deeply curved than a foil of the first and second outer cutters into an arcuate contour having a width less than that of the first and second outer cutters. The finishing foil disposed behind the first outer cutter comes into contact with a user's skin to make closer shaving than the first and second cutters.

Abstract: A shaving foil for a dry shaver has a plurality of perforation arranged in an array. The shaving foil is formed in its skin contact surface with a plurality of recesses which define a thin section of reduced thickness at the recesses, while leaving thick sections at the remainder of the foil. Each perforation is configured to have its circumference defined partly by the thin section and partly by the thick section. Both of the thin and thick sections can come into contact with a user's skin for smoothly guiding hairs into the perforations to make close shaving without irritating the skin, while the shaving foil is moved across the skin. Especially, the thin sections act to cut the hairs shorter than the thick section, as wall as to raise flattened hairs into the perforations for successfully cutting the flattened hairs.

(degree), the radius of curvature R of the cusp of the cutting edge is selected to satisfy a relation that R??0.02·?+1.1 (?m).

Abstract: A support arm 27 that is rockably supported on one end of a grip portion 2 and projects from the one end is provided. Both ends of a blade head 3 are supported by the support arm 27 such that the blade head 3 can rock around an axis extending along a reciprocating direction of an inner blade 14, and an axial direction of the rocking motion of the support arm 27 with respect to the grip portion 2 is set in a direction intersecting with the reciprocating direction of the inner blade 14. This configuration achieves an electric shaver capable of increasing the movable range of the blade head while preventing a main body from increasing in size.

Abstract: In a reciprocation type electric shaver having an outside blade unit detachable from a main body, the outside blade unit comprises a main blade, a slit blade and an outside blade holder for holding the main blade and the slit blade capable of floating up and down. A coupling structure for coupling the slit blade on the outside blade holder has a retaining structure for engaging the slit blade and the outside blade holder in a lateral direction of the outside blade unit so as to prevent disengagement of the slit blade from the outside blade holder when the slit blade is floated up and down with inclination. The retaining structure is a pair of fitting recesses formed on the slit blade and a pair of fitting protrusions formed on the outside blade holder.

Abstract: A dry shaver includes a swingable shaving head which is provided with a pair of support points through which the shaving head is supported to a grip through a linkage mechanism. The linkage mechanism includes a pair of cranks each connected at its one end to each one of the support points and connected at the other end to each one of the anchor points on the side of the grip. A frame projects on top of the grip in an overlapping relation with the shaving head to give the anchor points which are positioned upwardly of the support points with respect to a height axis of the grip for suspending the shaving head an top of the grip by the frame.

Abstract: A dry shaver has an elongated shaving head with a lengthwise axis. The shaving head carries semi-cylindrical first and second outer cutters disposed on its opposite width ends, as well as a semi-cylindrical finishing cutter and a slit cutter Interposed between the first and second outer cutters. The finishing cutter has a finishing foil which is deeply curved than a foil of the first and second outer cutters into an arcuate contour having a width less than that of the first and second outer cutters. The finishing foil disposed behind the first outer cutter comes into contact with a user's skin to make closer shaving than the first and second cutters.

Abstract: A reciprocatory dry shaver has a shaving head carrying an outer cutter, and an inner cutter. An actuator is mounted in the shaving head for driving the inner cutter. The actuator includes an oscillator which carries a joint for driving connection to the inner cutter. Resilient coupling links are provided to support the oscillator to the shaving head in order to allow the oscillator to reciprocate relative to the shaving head. The resilient coupling link has its upper end coupled to the oscillator and has its lower end which is farther away from the inner cutter than the oscillator and is anchored to the shaving head. Thus, the oscillator is supported as being floated or lifted with respect to the shaving head, thereby being allowed to travel along a path which is somewhat arcuate in coincidence with the arc of the outer cutter.

Abstract: An electric shaver includes net-shaped outer blades; and inner blades sliding reciprocally over an inner side of the outer blades as detachably connected with driving units driven by a motor. Each of the inner blades includes a blade plate having an inversed-like-U shape seen from a longitudinal direction in parallel with a reciprocating sliding direction; and a blade holder having attaching portions to be attached to the blade plate in longitudinally defined end regions, wherein connection portions to be detachably connected with the driving units are provided at the blade holder in a longitudinally defined center region, and, when dissembling the blade holder from the driving units, anti-detach portions are provided to thereby prevent separation of the blade holder in the longitudinally defined center region from the blade plate in the longitudinally defined center region due to a tensile load between the connection portions and the driving units.
