Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat mit einer in einem Rasierapparatekopf angeordneten, zu öffnenden und schließenden Gabelhalterung zur Aufnahme, Halterung und Abgabe einer Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge sowie einem an der Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge anliegenden, eindrückbaren Federnocken zum Schwingen der Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge um eine Nullage und Auswerfen der Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge bei der Abgabe, wobei die Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge in der Gabelhalterung in ihrer Rasierposition durch eine vom Benutzer zu tätigende, ein Sperrglied aufweisende Sperrvorrichtung durch formschlüssiges Erfassen der Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge arretierbar ist. Der technische Begriff "Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge" umfaßt in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie in den Ansprüchen auch die sogenannten Rasierklingen-Einheiten mit einer oder mehreren in Kunststoffträgern fest eingebetteten Rasierklingen.The invention relates to an oscillating-head razor with a fork holder arranged in a razor head, which can be opened and closed, for receiving, holding and dispensing a oscillating-head razor blade, as well as a push-in spring cam, which rests on the oscillating-head razor blade, for oscillating the oscillating-head razor blade by a zero position and Ejecting the oscillating head razor blade during delivery, wherein the oscillating head razor blade in the fork holder can be locked in its shaving position by a locking device to be operated by the user and having a locking member by positive engagement of the oscillating head razor blade. In the description below and in the claims, the technical term “oscillating-head razor blade” also includes the so-called razor blade units with one or more razor blades firmly embedded in plastic carriers.

Ein Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat dieser Art ist aus der EP-A 0 271 185 bekannt. Dabei ist zwischen einem Unterteil und einem davon separaten Oberteil, die zusammengefügt den Rasierapparatekopf bilden, ein Rasierklingenhaltemechanismus angeordnet. Dieser besteht zunächst aus einer zu öffnenden und schließenden Gabelhalterung zur Aufnahme, Halterung und Abgabe einer Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge. Dabei ist die Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge in der Gabelhalterung zwischen deren beiden freien, einander entgegengesetzt gerichteten Enden verschwenkbar gelagert, so daß sich die Rasierklinge beim Rasieren der Gesichtsform unter Beibehaltung eines günstigen Rasierwinkels durch Verschwenkbewegungen anpassen kann. Zum Laden bzw. Auswerfen einer Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge aus der Gabelhalterung ist an der Rückseite des Rasierapparatekopfes ein Betätigungselement in Form eines Schiebers vorgesehen, mit dem die Aufnahmegabeln entgegengesetzt gerichtet verschwenkt werden können. In dieser Öffnungsposition der Gabelhalterung kann dann auch eine neue Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge aufgenommen werden, wobei durch Loslassen des Schiebers die Gabeln in ihre Schließstellung federbelastet zurückspringen und somit die Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge in der Rasierposition schwingbeweglich festhalten. Um die Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge in ihrer Nullage halten zu können, von der aus sie nach beiden Richtungen hin schwingbar ist, ragt aus der vorderen Stirnseite des Rasierapparatekopfes ein eindrückbarer Federnocken, der korrespondierend an der Rückseite der Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge anliegt. Dieser Federnocken dient, da er unter Federspannung steht, bei der Abgabe einer verbrauchten Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge zugleich auch als Auswerfmechanismus.A vibrating head razor of this type is known from EP-A 0 271 185. In this case, a razor blade holding mechanism is arranged between a lower part and a separate upper part which, when assembled, form the razor head. This initially consists of an opening and closing fork holder for receiving, holding and dispensing an oscillating head razor blade. The oscillating head razor blade is pivotally mounted in the fork holder between its two free, opposite ends, so that the razor blade can adapt to the shape of the face while maintaining a favorable shaving angle by pivoting movements. For loading or ejecting a swinging head razor blade from the fork holder, an actuating element in the form of a slide is provided on the back of the razor head, with which the receiving forks can be pivoted in the opposite direction. In this open position of the fork holder, a new oscillating head razor blade can then also be accommodated, the forks springing back into their closed position by releasing the slide and thus holding the oscillating head razor blade in the shaving position so as to be able to oscillate. In order to be able to hold the oscillating head razor blade in its zero position, from which it can be swiveled in both directions, a push-in spring cam protrudes from the front end of the razor head, which correspondingly rests on the back of the oscillating head razor blade. Since it is under spring tension, this spring cam also serves as an ejection mechanism when dispensing a used oscillating head razor blade.

Da die Erfahrung zeigt, daß nicht jeder Verbraucher eine Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge bevorzugt und es eine etwa gleich große Verbrauchergruppe gibt, die grundsätzlich ein feststehendes Rasiersystem benutzt, besitzt der bekannte Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat zusätzlich eine Arretiereinrichtung, mittels der die Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge in der Gabelhalterung in ihrer Rasierposition durch eine vom Benutzer zu tätigende Sperrvorrichtung arretierbar ist, indem ein Sperrglied dieser Sperrvorrichtung die Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge formschlüssig erfaßt und diese in ihrer Lage fixiert. Das Sperrglied besteht dabei aus einem im Rasierapparatekopf verschiebbar geführten Verschiebeelement, das zur Arretierung der Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge beidseitig des Federnockens derart ausgefahren werden kann, daß dessen Spitze an der Rückseite der Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge anliegt und diese in ihrer Position fixiert. Zum Verschieben des Verschiebeelements dient ein im Rasierapparatekopf gelagerter Drehknopf, der mit einem Nocken in eine Aussparung im Verschiebeelement greift, wobei durch Verdrehen das Verschiebeelement nach vorne bzw. nach hinten verschoben wird.Since experience shows that not every consumer prefers an oscillating head razor blade and there is an approximately equal group of consumers who basically use a fixed shaving system, the known oscillating head razor also has a locking device by means of which the oscillating head razor blade in the fork holder in its shaving position can be locked by a locking device to be operated by the user, in that a locking member of this locking device positively detects the oscillating-head razor blade and fixes it in its position. The locking member consists of a sliding element in the razor head, which can be extended to lock the oscillating head razor blade on both sides of the spring cam in such a way that its tip rests against the back of the oscillating head razor blade and fixes it in position. A rotary knob mounted in the razor head is used to move the sliding element and engages with a cam in a recess in the sliding element, the sliding element being displaced forwards or backwards by twisting.

Bei diesem bekannten Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat ist von Nachteil, daß er aus vielen Einzelteilen besteht, was eine komplizierte Montage zur Folge hat. Darüber hinaus müssen, damit der Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat einwandfrei funktioniert, die Einzelteile exakt zueinander passen, wobei bereits geringfügige Abweichungen zu Störungen und daher zum Ausschuß führen. Dies gilt insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Tatsache, daß zusätzlich zum Federnocken noch ein separates Sperrglied in Form eines Verschiebeelements vorgesehen sein muß, das unabhängig vom Federnocken aus dem Rasierapparatekopf hinaus verschiebbar sein muß.A disadvantage of this known oscillating head shaver is that it consists of many individual parts, which results in complicated assembly. In addition, in order for the oscillating head shaver to function properly, the individual parts must fit exactly with one another, even slight deviations leading to faults and therefore to rejects. This applies in particular to the fact that in addition to the spring cam, a separate locking member in the form of a displacement element must be provided, which must be displaceable out of the razor head independently of the spring cam.

Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, den bekannten Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat derart weiterzuentwickeln, daß er insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Arretiereinrichtung für die Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge technisch vereinfacht ist.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to further develop the known oscillating head shaving apparatus in such a way that it is technically simplified, in particular with regard to the locking device for the oscillating head razor blade.

Als technische Lösung wird mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, daß der Federnocken selbst das durch die Sperrvorrichtung blockierbare Sperrglied bildet, und daß der Federnocken (13) eine Stirnfläche aufweist, die an einer entsprechend geformten Fläche der Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge anliegt.As a technical solution, the invention proposes that the spring cam itself forms the blocking member which can be blocked by the locking device, and that the spring cam (13) has an end face which rests on a correspondingly shaped surface of the oscillating-head razor blade.

Durch die Ausbildung des Federnockens zugleich als Sperrglied ist ein konstruktiv einfacher Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat geschaffen, der ohne viele Einzelteile auskommt. Dabei dient der Federnocken als Einrichtung, um die Nullage der Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge für die Schwingbewegungen zu definieren, sowie als Auswerfeinrichtung bei der Abgabe einer verbrauchten Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge, sowie darüber hinaus als Arretiereinrichtung für ein feststehendes Rasiersystem, indem die Sperrvorrichtung erfindungsgemäß den Federnocken in seiner Verschiebbarkeit blockiert. Daraus resultiert eine einfache Konstruktion, die problemlos innerhalb des Rasierapparatekopfes montiert werden kann, ohne daß aufgrund Toleranzabweichungen Störungen befürchtet werden müssen, die zum Ausschuß führen.The design of the spring cam at the same time as a locking element creates a structurally simple oscillating head shaving apparatus which does not require many individual parts. The spring cam serves as a device to define the zero position of the oscillating head razor blade for the oscillating movements, as an ejection device when dispensing a used oscillating head razor blade, and also as a locking device for a fixed shaving system by the locking device according to the invention the spring cam in its Movability blocked. This results in a simple construction that can be easily installed within the shaver head without fear of faults due to tolerance deviations that lead to rejects.

In einer ersten Ausführungsform zum Betätigen der Sperrvorrichtung ist in einer Weiterbildung ein verschwenkbarer Hebel insbesondere an der Rückseite des Rasierapparatekopfes vorgesehen. Auf diese Weise kann der Benutzer mittels einer Einhandbedienung den Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat durch Betätigen des Hebels in ein feststehendes Rasiersystem überführen.In a first embodiment for actuating the locking device, a pivotable lever is provided in a further development, in particular on the rear of the razor head. In this way, the user can use an on Transfer the oscillating head shaver into a fixed shaving system by operating the lever.

Ausgehend von dem bekannten Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat mit einem Schieber zum Öffnen und gegebenenfalls Schließen der Gabelhalterung sowie mit einem Drehknopf zum Betätigen der Sperrvorrichtung wird in einer alternativen Weiterbildung vorgeschlagen, daß der Schieber mittels integriertem Drehknopf zusätzlich drehbar ausgestaltet ist und mit der Sperrvorrichtung derart kombiniert ist, daß in einer von der Schwingposition verschiedenen Drehstellung des Drehschiebers die Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge arretiert ist. Auf diese Weise wird dem Benutzer die Handhabung des Schwingkopf-Rasierapparates erleichtert, indem der Benutzer in der einen Drehstellung des Dreh schiebers die Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge aufnehmen und abgeben kann, wobei in dieser Stellung auch das Schwingen der Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge möglich ist. In der anderen Drehstellung des Drehschiebers fixiert dann die Sperrvorrichtung die Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge.Starting from the known oscillating head shaving apparatus with a slide for opening and possibly closing the fork holder and with a rotary knob for actuating the locking device, it is proposed in an alternative development that the slide is additionally designed to be rotatable by means of an integrated rotary knob and is combined with the locking device in such a way that the oscillating head razor blade is locked in a different rotary position of the rotary valve from the oscillating position. In this way, the handling of the oscillating head razor is made easier for the user, in that the user can pick up and deliver the oscillating head razor blade in the one rotary position of the rotary slide, in which position the oscillation of the oscillating head razor blade is also possible. In the other rotary position of the rotary slide, the locking device then fixes the oscillating head razor blade.

Vorzugsweise weist die Sperrvorrichtung einen Knebel auf, der in der Arretierposition den Federnocken fixiert. Mittels eines derartigen Knebels ist eine sehr sichere Arretierung der Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge möglich. Dabei ist der Knebel vorzugsweise an der Achse des Hebels bzw. des Drehschiebers angeordnet, so daß durch eine entsprechende Drehbewegung der Knebel in seine Wirkposition gelangt. Dabei fixiert der Knebel in der Arretierposition frontseitig den Federnocken und rückseitig dessen Widerlager und ist mit einer schrägen Anlauffläche versehen.The locking device preferably has a toggle which fixes the spring cam in the locking position. The toggle head razor blade can be locked very securely by means of such a toggle. The toggle is preferably arranged on the axis of the lever or of the rotary slide, so that the toggle reaches its operative position by a corresponding rotary movement. In the locking position, the gag fixes the spring cam on the front and its abutment on the back and is provided with an oblique contact surface.

In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Rasierapparatekopf einen äußeren Apparatekörper mit einem frontseitigen Fenster aufweist, in das der Rasierklingenhaltemechanismus unter anderem mit der Gabelhalterung, dem Federnocken sowie der Sperrvorrichtung als separate Baugruppe einsetzbar und im Rasierapparatekopf insbesondere mit einer Rasteinrichtung festlegbar ist. Auf diese Weise ist eine separate Montagegruppe geschaffen, die alle zur Funktion des Schwingkopf-Rasierapparates notwendigen Teile enthält und die nach separater Montage in den Rasierapparatekopf eingesetzt werden kann.In a preferred development, it is proposed that the razor head have an outer apparatus body with a front window into which the razor blade holding mechanism can be used, among other things, with the fork holder, the spring cam and the locking device as a separate assembly and can be fixed in the razor head in particular with a latching device. In this way, a separate assembly group is created which contains all the parts necessary for the function of the oscillating head shaver and which can be inserted into the shaver head after separate assembly.

Der Rasierapparatekopf 1 des in seiner Gesamtheit nicht dargestellten Schwingkopfrasierers weist einen äußeren Apparatekörper 2 mit einem frontseitigen Fenster 3 auf, in das die zur eigentlichen Halterung der nicht dargestellten Rasierklingeneinheit gehörenden Teile eingeschoben werden können. Der äußere Apparatekörper 2 ist vorgesehen mit einem Rasierapparategriff, der nicht dargestellt ist, einstückig ausgebildet zu sein oder verbindbar zu sein.The razor head 1 of the oscillating head shaver, not shown in its entirety, has an outer apparatus body 2 with a front window 3 into which the parts belonging to the actual mounting of the razor blade unit, not shown, can be inserted. The outer apparatus body 2 is provided with a razor handle, which is not shown, to be formed in one piece or to be connectable.

Eine untere Grundplatte 4 von im wesentlichen dreieckförmiger Gestalt und eine obere Verschlußplatte 5 bilden mit Querverbindungen und ggf. Seitenverbindungen 6 ein Gehäuse. Dabei ist die obere Verschlußplatte 5 mit einer breiten Ausnehmung 7 zur Aufnahme und Führung eines nach vorn schiebbaren Schiebers 8 versehen, der dem Benutzer dazu dient, die Aufnahmegabeln 9 einer Gabelhalterung 10 in eine Öffnungsposition zur Aufnahme der Rasierklingeneinheit zu bringen. Der nach vorn und zurück bewegbare Schieber 8 ist kombiniert mit einem Drehknopf 11, mit dem es dem Benutzer ermöglicht ist, eine aufgenommene und von der Gabelhalterung 10 gehaltene Rasierklingeneinheit durch sein Verdrehen in einer Fixierposition zu arretieren. Zu diesem Zweck wirkt der Drehknopf 11 über eine unterhalb der oberen Verschlußplatte 5 angeordnete Sperrvorrichtung 12 auf einen zwischen den Aufnahmegabeln 9 des Gabelhalters 10 angeordneten, von einer mittleren Rippe der einzusetzenden Rasierklingeneinheit eindrückbaren Federnocken 13, der in der Schwingposition federbelastet eindrückbar ist und in der Arretierposition zur Erzeugung eines feststehenden Rasiersystems durch die Sperrvorrichtung nach einem entsprechenden Verdrehen des Drehknopfes 11 in der Anlageposition an der Rasierklingeneinheit blockiert ist.A lower base plate 4 of substantially triangular shape and an upper closure plate 5 form a housing with cross connections and, if necessary, side connections 6. The upper closure plate 5 is provided with a wide recess 7 for receiving and guiding a slide 8 which can be pushed forward and which serves the user to bring the receiving forks 9 of a fork holder 10 into an open position for receiving the razor blade unit. The slider 8, which can be moved back and forth, is combined with a rotary knob 11, by means of which the user is able to lock a razor blade unit which has been picked up and held by the fork holder 10 by rotating it in a fixing position. For this purpose, the rotary knob 11 acts via a locking device 12 arranged below the upper locking plate 5 on a spring cam 13 which is arranged between the receiving forks 9 of the fork holder 10 and can be pressed in by a central rib of the razor blade unit to be inserted, which can be pressed in spring-loaded in the oscillating position and in the locking position to generate a fixed shaving system is blocked by the locking device after a corresponding rotation of the rotary knob 11 in the contact position on the razor blade unit.

Der innere Aufbau des in den äußeren Apparatekörper 2 einzu setzenden damit zu verrastenden (Rastnasen 27) vorgefertigten Rasierklingenhaltemechanismusses ist am besten den Schnittdarstellungen der Fig. 6 bis 9 entnehmbar. Demnach ist die untere Grundplatte 4 im Schnitt L-förmig und bildet mit der oberen Verschlußplatte 5 ein Gehäuse zur Halterung des auf der Oberseite angeordneten Drehknopfes 11, kombiniert mit dem Schieber 8. Innen enthält das Gehäuse eine Halterung der Aufnahmegabeln 9, den Federnocken 13 und verschiedene Betätigungsteile, die die Axialverschiebung des Schiebers 8 sowie die Verdrehung des Drehknopfes 11 im Sinne einer Aufnahme, Halterung und Abgabe einer Schwingkopf-Rasierklingeneinheit sowie deren Arretierung mittels der Sperrvorrichtung ermöglichen.The internal structure of the prefabricated razor blade holding mechanism to be inserted into the outer apparatus body 2 to be locked (locking lugs 27) can best be seen in the sectional views of FIGS. 6 to 9. Accordingly, the lower base plate 4 is L-shaped in section and forms with the upper closure plate 5 a housing for holding the rotary knob 11 arranged on the top, combined with the slide 8. Inside the housing contains a holder for the receiving forks 9, the spring cams 13 and various actuating parts, the axial displacement of the slide 8 and the rotation of the rotation enable button 11 in the sense of receiving, holding and delivering an oscillating head razor blade unit and locking it by means of the locking device.

An der unteren Grundplatte 4 sind beidseitig ihrer Mitte parallel zueinander angeordnete Längsführungen 14 (Fig. 7) für den Federnocken 13 ausgebildet, der innenseitig in einem Zapfen 15 endet, der das eine Widerlager einer Druckfeder 16 ist, deren anderes Widerlager 17 ebenfalls mittels des Schiebers 8 axial beweglich in den Führungen am hinteren Ende angeordnet ist. Der Federnocken 13 wird eingeschlossen durch die Gabelhalterung 10. Deren Aufnahmegabeln 9 sind - wie Fig. 9 der Zeichnung entnehmbar ist - auf Schwenklagerbolzen 18 der unteren Grundplatte 9 gegenläufig zur Seite schwenkbar gelagert, wobei die Gabelarme innenseitig jeweils als sich erweiternde und abgestufte Kurve 19 ausgebildet sind, die am besten aus Fig. 3 der Zeichnung in der gestrichelten Andeutung erkennbar sind. Über die Kurve 19 wird die Verschiebebewegung des Schiebers 8 nach vorn umgesetzt in einer Verschwenkbewegung der Aufnahmegabeln 9 nach außen in ihre Öffnungsstellung.On the lower base plate 4, longitudinal guides 14 (FIG. 7), which are arranged parallel to one another on both sides of their center, are formed for the spring cam 13, which ends on the inside in a pin 15, which is the one abutment of a compression spring 16, the other abutment 17 of which is also by means of the slide 8 is arranged axially movable in the guides at the rear end. The spring cam 13 is enclosed by the fork holder 10. Their receiving forks 9 - as can be seen in FIG. 9 of the drawing - are pivotally mounted on the pivot bearing pin 18 of the lower base plate 9 in opposite directions, the fork arms being designed on the inside in each case as an expanding and stepped curve 19 are best seen in Fig. 3 of the drawing in the dashed line. Via the curve 19, the sliding movement of the slide 8 to the front is implemented in a pivoting movement of the receiving forks 9 outwards into their open position.

Die rückwärtigen Enden der Aufnahmegabeln 9 greifen hinter eine Ausnehmung 20 des Widerlagers 17, so daß dieses mit dem Axialverschieben des Schiebers 8 nach vorn und der dadurch erzwungenen Verschwenkbewegung der Aufnahmegabeln 10 nach außen in seinen Längsführungen 14 nach vorn gedrückt wird, wobei die Feder 16 gespannt wird.The rear ends of the receiving forks 9 engage behind a recess 20 of the abutment 17, so that this is pushed forward with the axial displacement of the slide 8 and the consequent pivoting movement of the receiving forks 10 outwards in its longitudinal guides 14, the spring 16 being tensioned becomes.

Zur Erzielung der Verschwenkung der Aufnahmegabeln 9 in ihre Öffnungsstellung durch Verschieben des Schiebers 8 nach vorn ist dieser in der Ausnehmung 7 der oberen Verschlußplatte axial beweglich durch Nut/Feder-Eingriff gehalten. Der innere Teil des Schiebers 8 umschließt dabei den Federnocken 13 und bildet für diesen eine Führung, die seine Axialbewegung nach hinten gegen die Wirkung der Druckfeder 16 ermöglicht. An einer zentrischen Achse 21 des Schiebers 8, die gleichzeitig Drehachse für den Drehknopf 11 ist, ist innen eine Kurvenscheibe 22 ausgebildet, die mit der Kurve 19 der Gabelhalterung 10 so zusammenwirkt, daß diese bei Axialbewegung des Schiebers 8 geöffnet und in der Öffnungsstellung durch Formschluß gehalten wird. Bei einem Druck auf den Federnocken, welcher automatisch beim Aufnehmen einer Rasierklingeneinheit von deren mittlerer Rippe ausgeübt wird, wird der Federnocken nach innen gedrückt, die Kraft über die Druckfeder auf das hintere Widerlager 17 übertragen und über dessen Wirkung auf die in der Ausnehmung 20 eingreifenden hinteren Gabelenden ein Schließen der Gabelhalterung 10 bewirkt. Hiermit wird auch der Schieber 8 wieder in seine Ausgangsstellung zurückbewegt.In order to achieve the pivoting of the receiving forks 9 into their open position by moving the slide 8 to the front, it is held axially movable in the recess 7 of the upper closure plate by tongue and groove engagement. The inner part of the slide 8 encloses the spring cam 13 and forms a guide for the latter, which enables its axial movement to the rear against the action of the compression spring 16. On a central axis 21 of the slide 8, which is also the axis of rotation for the rotary knob 11, a cam 22 is formed inside, which cooperates with the curve 19 of the fork bracket 10 so that it opens when the slide 8 is axially moved and in the open position by positive locking is held. When a pressure is exerted on the spring cam, which is automatically exerted by a central ridge when a razor blade unit is received, the spring cam is pressed inward, the force is transmitted via the compression spring to the rear abutment 17 and, via its action, to the rear ones engaging in the recess 20 Fork ends causes the fork holder 10 to close. This also moves the slider 8 back into its starting position.

Die Sperrvorrichtung 12 besteht aus dem im Schieber 8 in eine Arretierposition drehbaren Drehknopf 11, auf dessen Achse 21 ein Knebel 23 angeordnet ist, der in seiner in Fig. 8 der Zeichnung dargestellten Fixierposition vorderseitig über eine schräge Anlauffläche 24 den Federnocken 13 blockiert und gleichzeitig mit seinem rückwärtigen Ende das Widerlager 17 gegen seinen hinteren Anschlag in dem L-förmig abgewinkelten Teil der Grundplatte 4 drückt. Diese Arretierposition ist durch die Verdrehung des Drehknopfes aus seiner Normalstellung heraus In die Position der Fig. 8 möglich, wenn sich die Gabelhalterung in ihrer Schließstellung befindet, d.h. im Anwendungsfall zwischen ihren Aufnahmegabeln 9 eine Rasierklingeneinheit hält. Um deren Arretierung sicherzustellen und jegliche Schwingbewegung unmöglich zu machen, ist die vordere Abschlußfläche zur Grundplatte 4 hin mit einer Verlängerung 26 versehen, die ein formschlüssiges Anliegen an der entsprechend flach ausgebildeten mittleren Rippe (nicht dargestellt) der Rasierklingeneinheit ermöglicht und somit durch Formschluß jegliche Bewegung der Klingeneinheit verhindert. Im Gegensatz zu den Fig. 8 und 9 zeigen die Fig. 6 und 7 der Zeichnung die Sperrvorrichtung in ihrer unwirksamen Position mit dem gegenüber um 90° verdrehten Drehknopf 11, so daß die übliche Schwingbewegung der Rasierklingeneinheit im Schwingkopf-Rasierapparat ermöglicht ist. Der Federnocken 13 kann aufgrund seiner freien Rückbeweglichkeit gegen die Wirkung der Druckfeder bewegt werden und behindert das Verschwenken der Rasierklingeneinheit nicht.The locking device 12 consists of the rotary knob 11 which can be rotated into a locking position in the slide 8, on the axis 21 of which a toggle 23 is arranged, which in its fixing position shown in FIG its rear end presses the abutment 17 against its rear stop in the L-shaped part of the base plate 4. This locking position is possible by rotating the rotary knob out of its normal position into the position of FIG. 8 when the fork holder is in its closed position, ie holds a razor blade unit between its receiving forks 9 in the application. In order to ensure their locking and to make any swinging movement impossible, the front end face towards the base plate 4 is provided with an extension 26, which enables a form-fitting contact with the correspondingly flat central rib (not shown) of the razor blade unit and thus any movement of the razor blade unit Blade unit prevented. In contrast to FIGS. 8 and 9, FIGS. 6 and 7 of the drawing show the locking device in its inactive position with the rotary knob 11 rotated by 90 ° , so that the usual oscillating movement of the razor blade unit in the oscillating head razor is made possible. The spring cam 13 can be moved due to its free backward movement against the action of the compression spring and does not hinder the pivoting of the razor blade unit.

Die in Fig. 10 dargestellte alternative Ausführungsform des Rasierapparatekopfes 1 unterscheidet sich von der zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsform dadurch, daß statt eines im Schieber 8 integrierten Drehknopfes 11 ein Hebel 28 vorgesehen ist. Dieser ist aus dem Inneren des Rasierapparatekopfes 1 durch einen Schlitz 29 an dessen Rückseite nach außen geführt. Diese Ausführungsform unter Verwendung eines Hebels 28 zum Arretieren des Federnockens 13 sieht ebenfalls einen (nicht sichtbaren) Knebel 23 vor, der an der Achse 21 des Hebels 28 angeordnet ist und bei einer Verschwenkbewegung mit den Anlaufflächen 24 in Eingriff mit dem Federnocken 13 gelangt. Durch Zurück schwenken des Hebels 28 wird der Federnocken 13 wieder entriegelt, so daß die Schwingkopf-Rasierklinge wieder in der Gabelhalterung verschwenkbar ist.The alternative embodiment of the razor head 1 shown in FIG. 10 differs from the previously described embodiment in that a lever 28 is provided instead of a rotary button 11 integrated in the slide 8. This is guided out of the inside of the shaver head 1 through a slot 29 on the rear side thereof. This embodiment using a lever 28 for locking the spring cam 13 also provides a (not visible) toggle 23 which is arranged on the axis 21 of the lever 28 and comes into engagement with the spring cam 13 during a pivoting movement with the contact surfaces 24. By pivoting the lever 28 back, the spring cam 13 is unlocked again, so that the oscillating head razor blade can be pivoted again in the fork holder.
