Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electric shaver with a housing in which an electric drive for the oscillating movement of cutting blades of a shaving head arranged is, the shaving head at least two together cooperating cutting elements, which are relative to each other are slidably driven.
  • a dry shaver of the type mentioned is, for example known from US-A 2,339,677.
  • At this Training is that of a shaving head frame, an upper knife and a shaving head formed on an upper housing surface of a housing transverse to the direction of movement of a Longitudinal oscillating driven back and forth arranged movably. The drive takes place via a double eccentric.
  • Another known training is DE-U 17 11 665.
  • the drive element of the electric drive is here about gear elements, such as Gear transmission or a double eccentric or double-armed lever with both the lower knife as well as the one equipped with an upper knife Shaving head coupled to the lower knife and also the complete one To set the shaving head in motion.
  • the drive is thus one Blade relative to the oscillating knives either in the direction of movement of the oscillation or essentially normal on this oscillation, which increases the cutting performance and the Reliability of grasping whiskers that are difficult to grasp is influenced only marginally.
  • the invention now aims to set up a device to create mentioned type, which in addition to an increase in Cutting performance and a reduction in the sliding resistance of the Foil on the skin also security for the detection of difficult to grasp whiskers.
  • the training according to the invention essential in that a at least one shaving blade Part of the shaving head by at least one from the direction of the oscillating movement of the cutting blades different, in Axis extending direction of the longer axis of the housing pivoted and to a pivoting movement about this axis is driven.
  • the training according to the invention is advantageously made such that the storage of the part of the shaving head carrying the shaving blade as gimbal mounting, preferably as ball head mounting, is trained.
  • a ball head bearing overall leads to a much better adjustment of the Foil on irregular contours of the skin and thus one improved cutting performance, which is due to the oscillating Panning movement is still supported.
  • the swivel drive of the The shaving blade bearing part of the shaving head is on the shaving head or rocker arms pivotally mounted on the housing of at least be derived from an oscillating knife, for mediation a corresponding oscillating pivoting movement
  • the central axis is advantageously designed in this way is that two rocker arms, especially on the opposite one another Longitudinal inner walls of the shaving head are arranged, which each with one of the oppositely driven Cutting knives or knife blocks are coupled.
  • this oscillating pivoting transverse offers the possibility to move the contact pressure further reduce and still reliably protruding irregularly To cut whiskers.
  • the rocker arm can have a relatively large stroke of oscillation the cutting knife is reduced to a small swivel angle so that there is no significant additional load on the drive entry.
  • the Training be taken so that the rocker arm or rocker around the extending transversely to the direction of oscillation of the cutting knife Swivel axis of the shaving head is pivotally articulated (are).
  • the rocker arm or rocker around the extending transversely to the direction of oscillation of the cutting knife Swivel axis of the shaving head is pivotally articulated (are).
  • the training is made such that the cutter blade load-bearing part of the shaving head on a detachable to the housing connected part of the shaving head is pivoted.
  • the training is made such that is in the direction of the longer axis of the housing extending pivot axis off-center near a longitudinal inner wall is staggered, creating the zone in which the openings in the shaving head film in a central arrangement experienced only a slight swivel displacement of the axis, reduced becomes.
  • FIG. 1 shows a front view of the head region of a razor, from which the pivotability is about an axis can be seen; 2 shows a plan view of the training Fig.1 with the representation of the pivoting movement around the central Axis; 3 shows a section through the head area of a first Training the swivel head; 4 shows a section analogous to that Fig.3 by a modified design, Fig.5 another modified Training in section analogous to Fig.3, Fig.6, 7 and 8 a further training in positions analogous to FIGS. 1 to 3 with a pivotability only about the central axis, and Fig. 9 shows a further training in section analogous to Fig.8.
  • FIG. 1 the housing of a shaver is designated 1.
  • a two-part shaving head 2 is connected to the housing, whose swivel head lower part 3 has a swivel axis 4 for swiveling a head part 6 carrying a shaving blade 5.
  • the lower part of the shaving head has a roof-shaped shape Top edge, so that the free pivoting of the cutting blade 5 with the shaving head part 6 carrying the shaving blade 5 in the direction the double arrows 7 is made possible.
  • a central axis 8 can be seen, around which the upper shaving head part 6 with the shear blade 5 in the direction of the double arrows 9 is pivotally articulated.
  • FIG. 3 A technical design of such a central Pivot axis 8 results, for example, from the training according to Fig. 3.
  • the shaving head 5 carrying the shaving blade grips 6 via a spherical bearing 10 in the lower part of the shaving head 3, this spherical bearing 10 at the same time the pivotability of the shaving head part 6 by the in Fig.1 visible axis 4 guaranteed. Due to the spherical design this storage is also a pivoting around the central axis 8 possible.
  • the drive of the shear blades 11 and 12, which is driven to reverse oscillating motion are formed by a motor 13, which has a double eccentric 14 with corresponding coupling members 15 and 16 interact to drive the knives 11 and 12.
  • the oscillating movement is tapped via a tab 17 and transferred to an angle lever 18, which around a pivot axis 19 pivotally fixed in the lower shaving head part 3 is.
  • the pivot lever 18 is thus pivoted about the axis 19, whereby the shaving head 6 about the axis 8 in the spherical bearing 10 oscillating as shown in Fig.2 can be pivoted, the drive immediately is derived from the oscillation drive of a shear knife.
  • Training according to Fig. 4 differs from the training Fig.3 only in that on two opposite sides of the lower shaving head part 3 each pivotable about pivot axes 19 the pivot levers 18 are articulated. Since the pivot lever 18 each with those driven parallel to each other but in opposite directions Coupling members 15 and 16 via the corresponding tabs 17th interact, the pivoting movement about the central axis 8 further supported.
  • a training is shown at which on the pivotability about the axis 4 in the direction of Double arrow 7 is dispensed with.
  • the shaving head part 6 is as shown in Figure 6, only pivotable about the axis 8, the pivoting movement being performed in a slot 23.
  • the swivel movement is therefore exclusively about the central axis 8 in the sense of the double arrow 9, as shown in Fig. 7 can be seen.
  • FIG. 9 is another modified illustration evident, in which also on a pivotability in the sense of the double arrow 7 is dispensed with.
  • the upper shaving head part 6 is articulated to the lower shaving head part 3 via spherical bearing surfaces 25, with pivoting the swivel lever 18, in turn, only pivots about the central axis 8.
  • the representation according to Fig. 6, 7 and 8 essentially corresponds to the representation in FIG 1, 2 and 3, whereas the illustration in FIG Section according to Fig. 3, 4, 5 and 8 corresponds.
  • the reference numbers the same parts were chosen for the same parts.
  • the axis 8 does not have to be arranged centrally and can preferably as indicated in Fig.7 in the direction of arrow 26 be arranged near a longitudinal inner wall of the housing, whereby the number of those moved over a significant swivel path Shear head film breakthroughs is increased.
