  • Patent number: 4635360
    Abstract: A cutter head for an electric shaver comprises an outer shearing foil provided with a series of hair entrance slots arranged in a row. Cooperating with the outer shearing foil is an inner cutter assembly which includes at least one inner blade having a cutting edge elongated in a general direction of the length of each slot and is driven to move in relation to the shearing foil so that the cutting edge is in hair shearing relation with the row of the slots. Formed with the inner blade is a hair scooping projection which projects in a general direction of the movement of the cutting edge and define a sloping edge extending downwardly and outwardly from the cutting edge such that a long hair strands entering the slots can, as the inner blade advances, be slid or guide along the sloping edge up to the cutting edge where the strand is successfully sheared against the edge of the slot.
