Rotary electric shaver

A rotary electric shaver comprising:

• an outer blade whose upper surface functions as annular shaving surfaces having multiple hair inlets formed therein;
• and
• an inner blade having a plurality of small blades which rotate while coming into sliding contact with a lower surface of the outer blade from below the annular shaving surfaces,
• an inner blade base plate is partially erected to form the plurality of small blades disposed in a first row on a circumference adjacent to an outer periphery of the inner blade base plate and in a second row on a circumference adjacent to an inner periphery of the inner blade base plate,
• wherein there is provided a movable inner blade having a plurality of movable small blades which are vertically movable along at least a respective front end surface in a rotation direction of the plurality of small blades on the outer periphery of the inner blade base plate, and
• further comprising:
• a stationary plate that comes into contact with a predetermined portion of the movable inner blade from below,
• wherein the inner blade, the movable inner blade and the stationary plate are fixed to an inner blade base in this order from above so that four components configure an inner blade assembly that is rotatably mounted relative to the outer blade,
• wherein the inner blade base has a first projection to which the inner blade, the movable inner blade, and the stationary plate are fitted so as to perform positioning in a radial direction of the inner blade and the movable inner blade and the stationary plate, and a second projection to which an outer blade assembly having an outer blade cover fixed to the center of the outer blade is fitted so as to perform positioning in the radial direction of the outer blade assembly, said first projection being formed in a cylindrical shape and said second projection being formed in a pillar shape wherein said first projection is displaced radially outwardly from the second projection,
• wherein respective center axes of the first projection and the second projection are arranged so as to be coaxial with a rotation axis of the inner blade assembly,
• wherein the inner blade base has multiple third projections which are erected radially outwardly from the first projection,
• wherein the inner blade, the movable inner blade and the stationary plate are fixed to the inner blade base by means of caulking in a state where the third projection is inserted from below into through-holes formed at a corresponding position in the blade assembly.
