Abstract: In an electric rotary shaver in which outer cutters are provided in outer cutter holes formed in a cutter frame so that the outer cutters can move in the axial direction and tilt in any desired direction with inner cutters disposed between the outer cutters and inner cutter drive shafts that are urged in the axial direction toward the outer cutter, the outer surfaces of the outer cutters and the inner surfaces of the outer cutter holes being caused to make a sliding contact so that the outer cutters tilt in any desired direction in the outer cutter holes. The circumference of each outer cutter is curved so as to snugly engage with the curved outer surface of each outer cutter hole.

Abstract: An inner cutter for an electric rotary shaver, the inner cutter comprising a cutter supporting member and an inner cutter body. The cutter supporting member has a ring-form body formed in a shape of a flat plate and is provided with a plurality of upright supporting portions that rise from an outer-circumferential edge of the ring-form body and are lined up side by side. The inner cutter body is formed on the tip end of each one of the upright supporting portions. Gaps are formed between adjacent upright supporting portions, and ribs are provided between the adjacent upright supporting portions, thus allowing cut hair to be discharged out of the inner cutter through openings defined by the adjacent upright supporting portions and ribs.

Abstract: An electric rotary shaver including a cutter retaining plate equipped with cutter units each having an inner cutter and an outer cutter and detachably attached to an outer cutter frame of the shaver, and the shaver further including an attachment-detachment mechanism for mounting the cutter retaining plate to the outer cutter frame in a detachable fashion. The attachment-detachment mechanism includes a triangular boss and an engagement projection. The triangular boss is formed on the outer cutter frame and has engagement openings opened in its side surfaces, and the engagement projection is formed on a mounting knob held in cutter retaining plate. By turning the mounting knob with its engagement projection inserted in the boss and thus letting the engagement projection be engaged with the engagement opening, the cutter retaining plate is mounted to the outer cutter frame of the shaver in a detachable fashion.

Abstract: A rotary shaver comprising outer cutters and inner cutters; and each of the outer cutters comprises an inside outer-cutter member and a cylindrical outside outer-cutter member which concentrically surrounds the inside outer-cutter member, and each of the inner cutters comprises an inside inner-cutter member and an outside inner-cutter member that surrounds the inside inner-cutter member. The inside inner-cutter members make a sliding contact with the inside outer-cutter members, and the outside inner-cutter members make a sliding contact with the outside outer-cutter members. The outside outer-cutter members are free to tilt and free to move with respect to axes of outer cutter holes made in a shaver head. The inside outer-cutter members are free to tilt and free to move with respect to the axes of the outside outer-cutter members.

Abstract: An ultrathin stainless steel foil of a thickness of 25 &mgr;m or less whose average number of inclusions of a major diameter of 5 &mgr;m or greater per 1 mm2 in sections along the rolling direction is 3 or less. The ultrathin stainless steel foil is not readily susceptible to the local tunnel-like corrosions (voids) that have occasionally occurred, during etching, together with cracking in the rolling direction from the edges.

Abstract: An electric razor with a fan assembly installed under and coaxially with a rotary inner cutter. The whiskers entering through slits of an outer cutter are cut by the inner and outer cutters, and the sheared whiskers are blown by the fans of the fan assembly and collected in a receptacle element provided in the razor. Thus, the shaving debris does not stick to the inner and outer cutters, making it easy to clean the razor.
