The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of comb-like cutting elements with cooperating toothed cutting edges and movably supported relative to each other by a support element, wherein lateral ends of at least one of said cutting elements are provided with lateral protection elements having rounded and/or chamfered edge contours for soft skin engagement, wherein said lateral protection element is integrally formed in one part with the cutting element by an end portion of the cutting element bent away from a skin contact surface thereof and enveloping a gap movably receiving the other cutting element and/or enveloping the support element.
A cutter system for an electric shaver or a trimmer, comprising a pair of cooperating cutting elements and a support element, wherein lateral protection elements having edge contours for soft skin engagement are formed in part by lateral ends of one cutting element and in part by the support element which projects at least laterally beyond each lateral end of the one cutting element, wherein said support element and the one cutting element together define the edge contours for lateral soft skin engagement.
A cutter system for an electric shaver or a trimmer, comprising a pair of cooperating cutting elements, a support element and lateral protection elements, one of the cutting elements comprises a main portion and lateral ends, wherein each of said lateral protection elements is formed from a metal sheet, is rigidly attached to at least one of the one cutting element or the support element and is configured to envelop a top surface of the one cutting element and a bottom surface of the support element.
Method of manufacturing a cutter system comprising a pair of cooperating cutting elements and a support element, wherein one of said cutting elements comprises a main portion and lateral ends that define lateral protection elements having rounded and chamfered edge contours, the main portion of the one cutting element defining a skin contact surface, wherein the main portion of the one cutting element is positioned between said lateral protection elements, wherein the lateral protection elements are formed by bending the lateral ends of the cutting element away from the skin contact surface such that the bent lateral ends form a rounded and chamfered contour enveloping a gap movably receiving the other cutting element and enveloping the support element.
