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.

In order to achieve the above object, the electric shaver of this invention has left and right side plates 5, 5 on the left and right sides 1a, 1a of the razor body 1, which is equipped with an outer cutter 2 and an inner cutter in sliding contact with the outer cutter 2, as shown in the figure. The left and right side plates 5, 5 of the gate-shaped grip body 4 are composed of a lower plate 6 connecting the lower tips of the side plates 5, 5.
The upper proximal end is extended between an upwardly retracted position (FIG. 1) in which the lower surface plate 6 is close to the bottom surface of the razor body 1 and a downward protruding position (FIG. 2) in which the lower surface plate 6 is separated from the bottom surface of the razor body 1. It is attached so that it can be slid up and down, and when the grip body 4 is in a downward protruding position, the downward protruding position and the lower surface plate 6 are separated from the rear surface of the razor main body 1, and there is a gap between which a finger can be inserted. side plate 5,
It is pivotably connected around the upper base end of 5.

〔Example〕

The drawing illustrates a small electric shaver that can fit in the palm of your hand. In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a razor body formed in the shape of a thin, rectangular box, and is provided with an outer cutter 2 that is detachable at the top thereof, an inner cutter 3 that slides into contact with the inner surface of the razor body, and an inner cutter 3 that is in sliding contact with the inner surface of the razor body. It has a built-in motor for driving the blade 3 and other driving means. A grip 4 is attached to the lower part of the razor body 1.

The gripping body 4 is molded in plastic into a gate shape having left and right side plates 5, 5 and a lower plate 6 connecting the lower tips of both side plates 5, 5. The vertically elongated shaft holes 7, 7 formed in the parts 5a, 5a are pivotally connected to the shafts 8, 8 protruding from the lower parts of the left and right side surfaces 1a, 1a of the razor main body 1 in a manner that prevents them from coming off. It is attached so that it can slide vertically along a vertical stroke.

As shown in FIG. 1, the gripping body 4 has a large diameter portion 7a at the lower end of the shaft hole 7 aligned with the shaft 8, and is attached to the left and right side surfaces 1a, 1a and the lower surface 1b of the razor main body 1, and is retracted so as to surround these. The state of non-use of the posture and the second
As shown in the figure, the upper end large diameter portion 7b of the shaft hole 7 is aligned with the shaft 8 and can be operated in a downwardly protruding position in which it projects straight below the razor body 1. In use, it is rotatable about the shaft 8 between a downward protruding position as shown in FIG. 2 and a backward protruding position in which the razor body 1 protrudes rearward as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The diameter of the shaft 8 is the upper and lower large diameter portions 7a and 7b of the shaft hole 7.
The large diameter portion 7 at the upper and lower ends of the shaft hole 7
It is set slightly larger than the width of the narrow part 7c between a and 7b, and when the grip body 4 is not in use, the shaft hole 7
The lower part of the narrow portion 7c is caught on the shaft 8 in the lower end large diameter portion 7b, and the grip body 4 does not fall down due to its own weight. Further, when the grip body 4 is slid up and down, the narrow portion 7c of the shaft hole 7 is elastically expanded and deformed by the shaft 8 while the grip body 4 slides.

When not in use, the grip 4 is placed in the upwardly retracted position shown in FIG. 1 with respect to the razor body 1 so as not to be bulky. At this time, a switch knob 9 is provided on the left or right side surface 1a, 1a of the razor body 1 to turn on and off the drive of the inner blade.
If the knob 9 is covered with a cover, it is effective to prevent erroneous operation of a portable switch.

When in use, the grip body 4 is brought into the downwardly protruding state as described above, and as shown in FIG. 2, the existence of the grip body 4 extending downward from the razor body 1 allows the razor to be used with an effective grip length. Furthermore, with the grip 4 in the backward protruding position described above, the user can pass the index and middle fingers between the grip 4 and the rear surface of the razor body 1, as shown in FIG. 3, to stably grip the razor body 1 in the palm of the hand. Further, it is also possible to stably place it on a desk, table, etc. in a slightly inclined position, as shown in FIG. 4, with this rearward protruding position.

[Other Examples]

The above is the entirety of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the gripping body 4 may also serve as a switch knob, so that it is automatically switched off when it is retracted upward, and automatically switched to its on state when it is protruded downward. In this case, the switching means may be provided between the side surface 1a of the razor body 1 and the grip 4, or between the lower surface 1b of the razor body 1 and the grip 4.

Further, although the above embodiment shows an electric shaver in which the inner cutters 3 are of a rotating type, the present invention can be similarly applied to a vibrating type of inner cutter.

In addition, the razor body 1 is particularly useful when it is small, but it can also be applied to ordinary-sized ones as well, and the razor body 1 can have various shapes such as a square box shape, a round cylinder shape, and a hexagonal shape. You can freely make changes such as

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to this invention, the grip body 4 is attached to the razor body 1 so that it can be slid up and down between the upward retracted position and the downward protruding position, so that the grip body 4 can be attached to the razor body 1 when not in use, for example. If the grip body 4 is retracted upward to make it compact, it is convenient to carry around when traveling or the like without adding bulk. When in use, by bringing the grip body 4 into a downwardly projecting state, the effective grip length can be increased to a large extent, making it easy to grip and use.

Further, when the grip body 4 is in the downwardly protruding position, the lower surface plate 6 is separated from the rear surface of the razor main body 1 by rotating the grip body 4 around the upper base end of the side plates 5, 5. Since the razor body 1 can be switched to a rearward protruding position in which a gap is formed between which the fingers can be inserted, the razor body 1 can be stably and securely gripped in the palm by passing the fingers through the gap in the rearward protruding position. It also has the advantage of being able to be stably propped up on a desk or the like.
