• Movable actuator heads are used, for example, in the form of pivotable shaving heads in electric shavers.
• the mobility of the shaving head is intended to improve contact with the skin surface during shaving in order to achieve the best possible shaving result.
• An electric shaver with a shaving head system is known from DE 36 10 736 A1, which is pivotably mounted relative to the housing of the shaver.
• the shaving head system is set into an oscillating oscillating movement by means of a drive pin by an electric motor arranged in the housing.
• the shaving head system also performs a passive swivel movement, i.e. H. the shaving head system is forced into a swivel position by pressing against the skin surface, which is predetermined by the current geometric situation.
• the shaving head system is designed in such a way that the entire usable shaving surface is continuously in contact with the skin surface while shaving.
• the known system has proven itself in practice, but is subject to some restrictions. For a perfect swivel function, it is necessary to strictly limit the weight of the shaving head system and the position of its center of gravity. This places narrow limits on the arrangement of additional elements in the shaving head system if no deterioration in the mode of operation is to be accepted. In addition, in order to pivot the shaving head system so that the entire usable shaving surface comes into contact with the skin surface, the razor must be pressed against the skin. Another limitation is that the shaving head system can only be driven with the drive pin within a limited swivel angle range.

It is initially irrelevant for the applicability of the invention whether the actuator elements can be positioned individually or in groups or only all together. If there is only one actuator element overall, the user is generally able to make sufficient skin contact without additional aids. In certain applications and in particular when the actuator element is movable in several planes, use of the invention can also be advantageous in a hair removal device with a single actuator element. Another advantage of the invention is that there are no restrictions with regard to the weight and geometry of the actuator head and with regard to the accessible positioning range when the actuator head is positioned passively.
• actuator carriers preferably several actuator carriers are used which can be moved independently of one another.
• An electrical drive for the actuator element and / or the actuating device can be arranged in the actuator head. It is also possible to arrange the electric drive outside the actuator head and to provide a coupling device for coupling the electric drive to the actuator head.

• the actuator element is positioned so that there is skin contact.
• the speed of the positioning can depend on the detected size, so that gross incorrect positioning can be compensated for quickly.
• the speed of the positioning can be varied during the positioning process.
• a current flow is detected which is caused by the actuator element coming into contact with the skin surface.
• Another advantageous development of the method according to the invention provides that the relative position of the actuator element to the skin surface (5) is detected by optical means. This method is particularly stable and insensitive when used on wet skin or skin with care or cleaning agents.
• a further advantageous development of the method according to the invention provides that the size of the pressure of the actuator element against the skin surface (5) is detected by force, pressure and / or displacement measurement; this is also a particularly reliable detection method under the conditions described above.

• the two shaving foils 2 and 3 and the center cutter 4 are each electrically conductively connected to an electronic circuit 9, the first shaving foil 2 with the base of a first transistor 10, the second shaving foil 3 with the base of a second transistor 11 and the center cutter 4 with the base of a third transistor 12 are connected.
• the emitters of transistors 10, 11 and 12 are connected to ground.
• the first transistor 10 is connected to an input of control logic 13 denoted by F1 and to a first collector resistor 14.
• the second transistor 11 is connected to an input of the control logic 13 labeled F2 and to a second collector resistor 15, and the third transistor 12 is connected to an input of the control logic 13 labeled MS and to a third collector resistor 16.
• the control logic 13 has an output labeled Z, which is connected to the actuating device 7 via a driver stage 17.
• the collector resistors 14, 15 and 16 are still connected to one another and, like the housing 8 which the user 6 holds in his hand, are at an electrical potential Vdd. From the housing 8, there is an electrical connection to the second shaving foil 3 via the user 6, which has a body resistance 18. To make this possible, the housing 8 is at least partially electrically conductive. Depending on the position of the shaving head 1, corresponding electrical connections can also be made to the center cutter 4 and to the first shaving foil 2.
• the body resistance 18 represents the total electrical resistance effective between the skin surface 5 and the hand of the user 6.
• the functional principle according to the invention is that the shaving head 1 is pivoted so that the two shaving foils 2 and 3 rest on the skin surface 5.
• information about this is Requires whether the two shaving foils 2 and 3 actually lie against the skin surface 5 and secondly a mechanism which swivels the shaving head 1 from a position in which at least one of the shaving foils 2 and 3 does not lie against the skin surface 5, in which both shaving foils 2 and 3 rest on the skin surface 5.
• the information as to which of the shaving foils 2 and 3 rests on the skin surface 5 is obtained by checking with the electronic circuit 9 shown in FIG. 1 for both shaving foils 2 and 3 whether a current is flowing.
• the current flow runs through the body resistance 18 and can therefore only be formed when the respective shaving foil 2 or 3 is applied to the skin surface 5. If, for example, in accordance with the situation shown in FIG. 1, the second shaving foil 3 bears against the skin surface 5 and thus a current flows through the body resistance 18 to the base of the second transistor 11, the second transistor 11 switches through and applies the input F2 to the control logic 13 , which is otherwise at the electrical potential Vdd, to ground. The same also applies to the first shaving foil 2 when it lies against the skin surface 5. Since only very low currents are required for the connection of the transistors 10, 11, 12, the current flow through the body resistance 18 is absolutely safe and imperceptible for the user 6.
• the control logic 13 evaluates the signals present at its inputs and controls the driver stage 17 as a function thereof, which in turn controls the actuating device 7 in a corresponding manner, so that the shaving head 1 is pivoted in a desired manner.
• the evaluation by the control logic 13 takes place in accordance with a truth table shown as Table 1, which assigns a control command at the output Z of the control logic 13 to each combination of signals at the inputs F1, F2 and MS.
• a “0” appears in the truth table for an input of the control logic 13, which is connected to ground, and a “1” for an input at the electrical potential Vdd, ie there is skin contact with a “0” and with a “ 1 "there is no skin contact.
• the signal at the input MS of the control logic 13 indicates whether the center cutter 4 is in contact with the skin surface 5 and is determined in a manner corresponding to the signals at the inputs F1 and F2.
• the consideration of the signal at the input MS of the control logic 13 is not absolutely necessary, but enables better control of the shaving head 1, since intermediate positions can also be taken into account in this way.
• the shaving head 1 remains in its position if either both the shaving foils 2 and 3 are in common or neither of the two shaving foils 2 and 3 are in contact with the skin surface 5. It is irrelevant in each case whether the center cutter 4 lies against the skin surface 5 or not. In a variant, it is also possible to slowly pivot the shaving head 1 into a basic position if neither of the two shaving foils 2 and 3 abuts the skin surface 5. If only the first shaving foil 2 is not in contact with the skin surface 5, the adjusting device 7 is slowly moved to the right in the geometry shown in FIG. H. clockwise, rotated and thus the shaving head 1 pivoted to the left.
• the circuit 9 serves on the one hand as a detection device for detecting information relating to the position of the two shaving foils 2 and 3 and on the other hand as a control device for controlling the actuating device 7 depending on the detected information.
• the detection and the control are carried out again and again in that the test as to whether there is a current flow through the body resistance 18 and the evaluation according to the truth table are repeated continuously.
• the position of the shaving head 1 is changed until the desired skin contact of the two shaving foils 2 and 3 is present.
• the skin contact of the two shaving foils 2 and 3 is thus established by a kind of control loop.
• both shaving foils 2 and 3 are in contact with the skin, the difference between the two electrical resistances or the difference in impedances between each shaving foil and the housing 8 can be used for more precise positioning of the shaving head 1.
• Such a difference occurs when the skin contact of the two shaving foils is different, i.e. when one shaving foil is pressed closer to the skin than the other. Then the shaving head is pivoted until the two resistances or impedances are the same and both shaving foils are pressed onto the skin with exactly the same force. This is particularly advantageous for an optimal shave.
• a parking function can be implemented, according to which the shaving head 1 is pivoted into a parking position when the shaving apparatus is switched off.
• the shaving foils 2 and 3 point towards the housing 8 and are therefore protected against damage from external influences.
