Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field and purpose] This invention relates to a small electric shaver that is convenient to carry, especially when traveling, and aims to obtain one that is small and easy to use.

〔Example〕

The drawing illustrates a small electric shaver that can fit in the palm of your hand.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, the electric razor of the present invention has a main body case that is biased toward one side of the left and right at the bottom of the razor head 3, which is equipped with a forward-facing outer cutter 1 and an inner cutter 2 that slides on the inner surface of the razor head 3. 4, and a corner-shaped recess 5 is formed between the other side lower surface 3a of the lower part of the razor head 3 and the side surface 4a of the main body case 4.

Inside the main body case 4, a battery 6, etc., which is a power source for a motor that drives the inner cutter 2, is housed, and the motor is built into the razor head 3 or the main case 4.

A cylindrical grip extension 7 with a U-shaped cross section is rotatably connected to the lower part of the main body case 4 with a shaft 8 substantially parallel to the axis of the outer cutter 1. 7 is rotatable within the recess 5 at the bottom of the razor head 4 between a folded position parallel to the side of the main case 4 and an unfolded position extending in a straight line below the main case 4. be.

When not in use, the grip extension 7 is folded at the lower part of the razor head 3 and lined up on the side of the main case 4, as shown in FIG. 2, so as not to be bulky. At this time, it is convenient to use the internal space of the grip extension 7 to store cleaning brush 9, mirror 10, and sieve oil. In addition, a switch 11 is provided on the side surface 4a of the main body case 4 to turn on and off the drive of the inner cutter 2.
If the switch 11 is covered, it is possible to prevent erroneous operation of the switch when carrying the device.

When in use, the grip extension body 7 is placed in the above-mentioned unfolded position, and as shown in FIG. 3, the existence of the grip extension body 7 extending below the main body case 4 allows the grip extension body 7 to be used with an effective grip length.

In this use, it should be noted that the shaft 8 connecting the grip extension 7 and the axis of the forward-facing outer cutter 1 are arranged substantially parallel to each other. That is, the direction in which the outer cutter 1 is pressed against the skin is perpendicular to the plane in the unfolding/folding direction centered on the axis 8 of the grip extension 7. Therefore, the pivot portion of the grip extension body 7 with respect to the main body case 4 does not twist or wobble, and the grip is firm and easy to use.

[Another example]

The above is the entirety of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a grip extension 7 is provided with an outer cutter cover part 7a that covers the front side of the outer cutter 1 in the folded state, so that the overall shape is approximately L-shaped when viewed from the front. It may be something.

According to the grip extension body 7 having such a shape, not only can the effective grip length be extended when used in the unfolded state shown in FIG. Since the fingers of the gripping hand get caught in the handle, it will not slip off. In this case as well, it is convenient to put a cleaning brush, mirror, etc. inside the grip extension 7.

Further, although the above embodiment shows an electric shaver in which the inner cutter 2 is of a rotary type, the present invention can be similarly applied to a vibrating type of inner cutter. Alternatively, it may be a type that uses a commercial power source instead of a battery-powered type.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to this invention, the main body case 4 is formed biased toward one side of the left and right sides of the lower part of the razor head 3, and the main body case Lateral side 4a of 4
A corner-shaped recess 5 is formed with the grip extension body 7 in the lower part of the main body case 4.
The main body case 4 is pivoted so as to be rotatable between a folded position in which the main body case 4 is arranged side by side and a deployed position in which it extends below the main body case 4. Therefore, for example, when not in use, the grip extension body 7 can be arranged below the razor head 3 and on the side of the main body case 4 and folded compactly, making it convenient to carry around when traveling or the like. When in use, by deploying the grip extension body 7 in an extended state below the main body case 4, the effective grip length can be increased to a large extent, making it easy to grip and use.

Moreover, since the shaft 8 that rotatably connects the grip extension 7 to the main body case 4 is approximately parallel to the axis of the forward-facing outer cutter 1, the grip extension 7 is rotated during use.
It does not get twisted or wobbling, making it easier to use in this respect as well.
