Abstract: A stationary blade for a blade set of a hair cutting appliance is described. The stationary blade is arranged to be moved through hair in a moving direction to cut hair. The stationary blade includes: a first wall portion arranged to serve as a skin facing wall when in operation; a second wall portion at least partially offset from the first wall portion; and at least one toothed leading edge comprising a plurality of teeth and being jointly provided by the first wall portion and the second wall portion. The first wall portion and the second wall portion are connected at a frontal end of the at least one toothed leading edge to provide tips of the teeth. A blade set including the stationary blade and a moveable cutting blade are also described. A method of fabricating a blade set is also described.

Abstract: A hair cutting appliance, a blade set for a hair cutting appliance, and to a stationary blade for the blade set. The stationary blade includes a first wall portion arranged to serve as a skin facing wall when in operation, a second wall portion at least partially offset from the first wall portion, such that the first wall portion and the second wall portion define therebetween a guide slot arranged to receive a movable cutter blade in a defined mating manner, and at least one toothed leading edge having a plurality of teeth jointly formed by the first wall portion and the second wall portion. The stationary blade is an integrally formed metal-plastic composite stationary blade. Also discussed is a blade set including an integrated foil shaving region, along with a method for manufacturing a respective blade.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hair cutting appliance, a blade set for a hair cutting appliance, and to a stationary blade for said blade set.

Abstract: A stationary blade for a blade set in a hair cutting appliance and method of manufacturing the stationary blade. The stationary blade comprising a first wall portion arranged as a skin facing wall in operation, a second wall portion at least partially offset from the first wall portion. The first and second wall portions defining a guide slot therebetween, arranged to receive a movable cutter blade. At least one toothed leading edge comprising a plurality of teeth jointly formed by the first wall portion and the second wall portion. The stationary blade being an integrally formed metal-plastic composite blade. The first wall portion being at least partially made from a metal material. The second wall portion being at least partially made from a plastic material. The first and second wall portions being arranged to receive the movable cutter blade in the guide slot in a defined mating manner.

Abstract: A personal care device is provided with a cutting unit comprising an external cutting member and an internal cutting member. A virtual skin plane is located on a side of the external cutting member facing away from the internal cutting member. The internal cutting member comprises cutting elements each having a first cutting edge. The external cutting member comprises hair-entry apertures each having a second cutting edge. In a starting position of cutting a hair situated in a cutting position in the hair-entry aperture and extending perpendicularly to the virtual skin plane, the first cutting edge is in contact with the hair in a first contact position, and the second cutting edge is in contact with the hair in a second contact position, wherein the first contact position is closer to the virtual skin plane than the second contact position.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hair cutting appliance (10), a blade set (20) for a hair cutting appliance (10), and to a stationary blade (22) for said blade set (20).

Abstract: A shaving unit includes a cap having an annular shaving track defining an axis. The shaving track is provided with hair entry apertures which have a V-shaped forward edge with a point directed in a cutting direction. Further, a rotary cutter has a plurality of cutter blades, where the rotary cutter is configured to rotate about the axis such that the cutter blades follow the shaving track in the cutting direction to cut hairs protruding through the hair entry apertures. The cutter blades have a V-shaped cutting edge, where a point of the V-shaped cutting edge is directed opposite to the direction of rotation of the rotary cutter.

Abstract: A personal care device, such as a shaving apparatus, provided with at least one cutting unit (21) comprising an external cutting member (23) and an internal cutting member (22) which is moveable relative to the external cutting member (23) in at least one direction of movement. A virtual skin plane (10) is located on a side of the external cutting member (23) facing away from the internal cutting member (22). The virtual skin plane (10) extends parallel to said direction of movement and parallel to a skin surface when the cutting unit (21) is in an operational position relative to the skin surface. The internal cutting member (22) comprises a plurality of cutting elements (39) each comprising a first cutting edge (50). A projection of the first cutting edge (50) in the virtual skin plane (10) encloses at least a first shearing angle with said direction of movement.

Abstract: A shaving unit (1) comprises a cap (2) having an annular shaving track (8) defining an axis (Z), the shaving track being provided with hair entry apertures (20) which have a V-shaped forward edge with a point directed in a cutting direction (Y). A rotary cutter (4) has a plurality of cutter blades (18), the cutter being arranged to rotate about the axis such that the cutter blades follow the shaving track in the cutting direction to cut hairs protruding through the apertures, wherein the cutter blades have a V-shaped cutting edge (34) and a point of the V is directed opposite to the direction of rotation.
