  • Patent number: 11312033
    Abstract: A rotary electric shaver has a new structure which compatibly achieves both a function of the rotary electric shaver allowing a user to have less tingling feel on the skin and a function of a reciprocating electric shaver enabling easy deep shaving of hair, by replacing a first head. A rotary electric shaver includes a main body having a drive shaft and a connection part, a first head having a built-in first transmission drive system connected to the drive shaft to rotate a first inner blade, and detachably connected to the connection part, and a second head detachably connected to the connection part from which the first head is removed. The second head has a built-in second transmission drive system connected to the drive shaft to cause the second inner blade to reciprocate.

  • Patent number: 11135732
    Abstract: There is provided a rotary electric shaver which can easily prevent an outer blade which is undesirable to be brought into contact with a skin from coming into contact with the skin, by reducing the number of contact times of the outer blades in a head with the skin, even when the shaver is used in a state where the head is substantially parallel to the skin. A rotary electric shaver includes a main body having a drive shaft, and a head connected to the main body. At least one of a plurality of blade units has a fulcrum plate, a turning plate, a spring, and a fixing plate, and has a lock mechanism capable of changing a height position of at least one of outer blades corresponding one-to-one to the blade units.

  • Patent number: 9381504
    Abstract: A deodorizing material is a cured substance that is obtained by dissolving a photosensitizing colorant in an unsaturated polyester resin composition which contains unsaturated polyester and a monomer copolymerizable with the unsaturated polyester and which is in a liquid state at a room temperature, and by adding a curing agent to let the liquid cured. This deodorizing material changes from the base state to the singlet excitation state, and further to the triplet excitation state upon irradiation with light in a gas phase containing oxygen and odor components. This energy is given to the oxygen molecules to produce singlet oxygen. The oxidation action of the produced singlet oxygen decomposes the odor components.

  • Patent number: 9364960
    Abstract: A rotary electric shaver with an outer cutter having a circular shaving top surface with numerous hair introduction openings and an inner cutter having a small cutter slidably rotating in contact with a bottom surface of the outer cutter. The rotary electric shaver includes an outer cutter set wherein the outer cutter is assembled in an outer cutter holding unit and an inner cutter set wherein the inner cutter is assembled in an inner cutter holding unit. The outer cutter set and the inner cutter set are respectively provided with a positioning convex portion on one and a positioning concave portion on the other. The positioning convex portion can fit in the positioning concave portion such that the outer cutter set can be assembled with the inner cutter set only in a case where the outer cutter set and the inner cutter set are in a predetermined assembly position.

  • Patent number: 7926175
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a wiring board comprising an insulating member, comprising: a penetrating hole formation process of forming a penetrating hole in the insulating member; a placement process of inserting a conductive connecting particle into the penetrating hole; a connecting particle pressing process of disposing the conductive layers on both surfaces of the insulating member, pressing the conductive layers toward the connecting particle in the penetrating hole, and deforming the connecting particle in the pressing direction to obtain the connecting member; and a patterning process of patterning the conductive layers, wherein, in the connecting particle pressing process, the pressing is performed such that the cross-sectional area in the direction along the insulating member surface of at least a portion of the connecting member is greater than the contact area of the connecting member with the conductive layers.
