- 2 - O5o22

The innovation relates to a dry shaver with a rechargeable power source and with mains plug pins which are arranged so that they can be pushed in and out at one end of the apparatus housing at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the housing.

Such dry shavers are characterized by one special feature compact structure and, moreover, by simple, user-friendly Charging off. Because they do not need to be placed on a separate charging unit or over a separate one for charging Cable with such a proclaim to be. Much more the entire dry shaver is charged using the in The integrated mains plug is plugged into a mains socket in which it is plugged in during the entire charging time remain. Dry shavers of this type are for example known from JP-Y2 54-9369.

It has now been shown that the mains plug pins or sockets that are slidably mounted in the dry shaver the mains socket are exposed to a relatively high level of stress, since on the one hand they take up the entire weight of the apparatus must and on the other hand a relatively strong tilting moment acts on them, which is due to the general lack of system of the Dry shaver on the wall of the living room containing the power socket - due to the fact that it is usually not flush with this wall final housing cover of the common mains socket - the result. Such a dry shaver is therefore - especially with longer use tents - the risk of Loosening of the plug connection and thus also exposed to the risk of electrical damage.

The innovation has the task of a dry shaver of the initially to create mentioned type, in which the above-mentioned deficiencies by relatively simple, in particular counteracting the tilting moment Measures have been remedied.

The innovation solves this task with one on the opposite side Housing end in the same direction as the push-out direction of the power plug pins arranged buffers. This buffer can consist of a relative stiff, but also made of an elastic material such as rubber or Plastic.

As a result, a dry shaver constructed in this way hangs its supported on the wall receiving the power socket Buffer always almost parallel to this, i.e. at least approximately vertically, so that connector pins exercising its support function or on its apparatus-specific holders and Guides no or only a very slight turning or Tilting moment acts.

In principle, the buffer can be molded directly onto the device housing However, according to a feature of the innovation, it is expediently detachably attached to the apparatus housing. Vorzugswelse exists he then, according to a further useful feature of the innovation, consists of a hollow body that is elastic in the pressure direction, wherein it is particularly advantageous if the buffer has a bellows includes. With these features, the buffer can be used according to its own requirements, regardless of the requirements placed on the apparatus housing optimal in terms of material expenditure, elasticity and Assembly simplification are designed.

For the best possible adaptation to the different circumstances practice is after a further advantageous feature the subject of the innovation of the buffer can be changed in terms of its effective longitudinal extension. In this way can have different distances from the wall in which the socket is located appropriate to be easily compensated. For this purpose, the buffer expediently has a threaded mandrel with which it is in a threaded hole in the apparatus housing can be screwed in.

A particularly advantageous development of the innovation according to the invention However, the dry shaver is given when the buffer is molded onto a protective cap that encloses the shaving head when it is not in use 1st. With such a design of the dry shaver according to the invention, it comes during the charging process vertically holding buffers only take effect when the shaving head is not in use and so occurs when the dry shaver is actually used, So when razing, not disturbing 1n appearance.

Further details of the subject of the innovation are given below based on the drawing In several exemplary embodiments explained, namely show:

Fig. 1 shows a rechargeable dry shaving apparatus 1n schematically Representation for charging its power source 1n plugged into a wall-mounted socket.

Fig. 2 shows the first embodiment of a buffer, on the part of shown housing wall of the dry shaver mounted,

Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of the buffer, in the same Mounting position as in Fig. 2,

Fig. 4 shows a third embodiment of the buffer, in the same mounting position as in Fig. 2,

5 shows a detail of the dry shaving apparatus with a shaving head and a protective cap in an exploded view.

As shown in Fig. 1, the dry shaver 1 is for charging

its integrated power source, not shown, provided with a pair of power connector pins 1 , which are attached to the shear

head 3 opposite end 4 of the apparatus housing 5 at right angles to the housing longitudinal axis 6 1n in the direction of arrow A are arranged to be pushed in and out. This allows the dry shaver 1 during the charging process by inserting its pushed out connector pins 2 1n a room wall 7 or the like. assigned mains socket 8 can be connected directly to the network without the interposition of a cable.

Since the socket 8 1m generally the wall 7 to a certain extent towered above, the connector pins were previously due to this suspension 2 or the brackets indicated by 9 1m apparatus housing 5 exposed to a considerable torque or tilting moment, which is determined by the respective weight of the dry shaving apparatus 1 will. A buffer 10 now counteracts this torque, the one at the opposite end of the housing 11, the 1n usually with the The shaving head 3 is identical, is arranged in the same direction as the push-out direction (arrow A) of the connector pins 2 and is on the wall 7 supports. The buffer 10 is thus 1n at the greatest possible distance attached by the connector pins 2 of the dry shaver 1 to the tilting tendency of the dry shaver 1 as possible effectively counter.

The buffer can in principle be formed from a projection molded onto the apparatus housing 5. It is more advantageous, however, if he according to Flg. 2 formed from an elastic hollow body 12 1st, which by means of an annular groove 13 molded onto it in a bore 14 can be linked to the assigned end 11 of the apparatus housing 5, the shaving head frame 3.1 also counting towards the housing 5 will.

To the dry shaver 1 the different protrusion dimensions to be able to adapt the socket 8 to the wall 7 and to be able to achieve an almost vertical hanging position when charging, is according to Fig. 3 of the buffer 15 in terms of its effective

Length can be changed. He has one for that purpose Threaded mandrel 16, which is provided in a 1m apparatus body 5 Threaded hole 17 can be screwed in by a different amount in each case 1st.

4 shows a buffer provided with a bellows 18

19, which is characterized by particular elasticity and as a result its resilience in the longitudinal direction certainly none Causes pressure points on the wall 7 supporting the dry shaver 1.

This buffer 19 can also be used in the manner shown in FIG. 2 depicted catfish be tied into the apparatus housing 5.

A particularly advantageous variant of the subject of the innovation FIG. 5 shows. As can be seen from this, the buffer is 20 not directly to the housing 5 of the dry shaver 1 or its shaving head frame 3.1, but rather a protective cap 21 enveloping the shaving head 3 of the dry shaving apparatus 1 on all sides assigned. The buffer 20 can hler the protective cap 21 directly be molded, because he is shaving - regardless of whether with the long hair part or with the shaving foil of the dry shaver - Can never appear disturbing, since the protective cap 21 for the use of the dry shaver is known to have to be lifted off the head of the apparatus. If for the protective cap 21 and the buffer 20 on different materials If value is placed, the buffer 20 can also be designed to be pluggable, for example as shown in FIG. 2.

With this advantageous embodiment of the innovation can also dry razors already in use of those discussed here Art retrospectively by replacing their previously used protective cap of the usual shape with a modern one Protective cap having buffers can be retrofitted.
