Abstract
Dry-shaving apparatus comprises a drive provided in a housing (1) and at least two parallel shaving units (13, 14, 15), each having a respective outer cutter (16, 17, 20), an inner cutter (21, 22, 34) and at least one biasing element (31, 32, 33, 45). In order to improve contact with the face during use, the biasing element (31, 32) of one shaving unit (13, 14, 15) has a characteristic which differs from that of the biasing element (33) of a further shaving unit (13, 14, 15), which characteristic is such that under the effect of a force applied externally to the shaving units (13, 14, 15), motion can be performed by one of the shaving units (13, 14, 15) relative to the further shaving unit (13, 14, 15).
Claims37
Dry-shaving apparatus comprising a housing, a drive provided in said housing, and at least two parallel shaving units operated by said drive, each of said at least two parallel shaving units having a respective outer cutter, an inner cutter and at least one biasing element, wherein the biasing elements of the shaving units have differing characteristics such that the force-displacement characteristic of one of said shaving units differs from that of another of said shaving units which characteristic is such that under the effect of a force applied externally to the shaving units during shaving, said one of the shaving units moves relative to said another of said shaving units.
