Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The invention relates to a washable electric shaver in which the inner cutter body and the outer cutter body can be washed with water while attached to the razor body.

[Technical background of the invention]

Conventional electric shavers have a pair of radially opposed discharge ports in the cylindrical portion of the outer cutter mount, which forms the wall of the storage chamber that houses the inner cutter, and a pair of radially opposed discharge ports. An opening/closing ring having an opening is attached so as to be slidable in the rotational direction along the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion. Washing with water is carried out by turning the opening/closing ring so that its opening is exactly facing the discharge port, and in this state, pouring water from the surface of the outer blade into the storage chamber.

[Problems with background technology]

However, conventionally, the weaker the force of the waste water passing through the discharge port and the opening, the easier it is to flow onto the surface of the razor body. Therefore, there is a drawback that washed-off beard shavings tend to adhere to the surface of the razor body and the fingers. Moreover, since it is inevitable that the opening/closing ring and the like become wet when washing with water, there is a drawback that when the opening/closing ring is returned to its original position after washing with water, the fingers tend to slip and it is difficult to operate the opening/closing ring.

[Purpose of invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a water-washable electric shaver that can avoid the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks.

[Summary of the idea]

The water-washable electric shaver of the present invention has a slidable opening/closing body for opening and closing the discharge port, an opening/closing part for opening and closing the discharge port, and an integrally continuous body formed from one end of this opening/closing part, and facing outward. The opening/closing part is provided in a protruding manner, and is arranged to face the discharge port when the opening/closing part is moved to the position where the discharge port is opened, and the opening/closing part is moved to a position where the discharge port is closed. It is characterized in that it is formed with a protruding discharge port, which is sometimes arranged at a position not facing the discharge port.

According to the flushable electric shaver having this feature, the waste water that passes through the discharge port during washing is guided to the protruding discharge port and discharged to the outside. The projecting outlet is not just an opening, but has a structure that protrudes outward, so not only can the outflow direction of the wastewater be regulated, but the tip of the outlet is further away from the surface of the razor body, and the outlet Water drains well at the tip. Therefore, for these reasons, it is possible to suppress the drainage water containing beard shavings from flowing along the outer surface of the razor body, thereby preventing the beard shavings from adhering to the razor body and fingers. Since the opening/closing body can be slid using the outwardly projecting outlet as a knob, the opening/closing body can be easily operated even when the opening/closing body is wet.

[Example of idea]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a front case 2 and a rear case 3 made of synthetic resin.
An outer blade mount 4 consisting of a cylindrical part and a bottom part is integrally formed on the upper part of the front case 2 of the razor body. The outer blade mount 4 is a constituent wall of a storage chamber, which will be described later. In addition, in the present invention, the outer blade mount 4 is molded separately from the front case 2.
There is no problem even if it is installed on the The lower part of the razor body 1 is used as a grip, and a battery and electrical components (none of which are shown) are housed in the grip. Also, 5 is a switch knob.

At the top of the razor body 1, a motor 6 is mounted, for example, sandwiched between the bottom of the outer blade mount 4 and the rear case 3.
is stored. An inner cutter support shaft 8 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 7 of the motor 6 . This shaft 8 passes through the center of the bottom of the outer cutter mount 4, and the space between this shaft 8 and the bottom of the outer cutter mount 4 is waterproofed with a seal 9 to prevent water from entering the motor 6 side. It's becoming like that. An inner cutter body 10 is removably attached to the tip of the shaft 8 and is fitted so as to rotate together with the shaft 8.

An outer cutter body 12 having an outer cutter 11 is detachably screwed and attached to the cylindrical portion of the outer cutter mount 4. Between this outer blade body 12 and the outer blade mounting base 4,
A storage chamber 13 is formed in which the inner cutter body 10 is housed, and the inner cutter body 10 slides on the inner surface of the outer cutter 11 and is rotated.

A circumferential mounting groove 14 is formed on the outer surface of the cylindrical portion of the outer cutter mounting base 4, and a discharge port 15 communicating with the storage chamber 13 is provided at the bottom of the groove 14. At the same time, an opening/closing body 16 is attached to the cylindrical portion of the table 4, which is slidably guided in the attachment groove 14 and opens and closes the discharge port 15.

The opening/closing body 16 is formed from an opening/closing part 17 and a protruding outlet 18. The opening/closing part 17 is a part for opening/closing the discharge port 15 by the reciprocating movement of the opening/closing body 16. The projecting discharge port 18 is a part that is integrally and continuously formed from one end of the opening/closing part 17, and projects outward in a beak shape. This discharge port 18 is opened when the opening/closing portion 17 is moved to the position where the discharge port 15 is opened as shown in FIG.
5, and is arranged in a position that does not face the discharge port 15 when the opening/closing portion 17 is moved to the position where the discharge port 15 is closed, as shown in FIG. . The opening/closing body 16 is held in the opening/closing position by a suitable articulated structure (not shown).

The electric shaver having the above configuration is used with the opening/closing part 17 of the opening/closing body 16 closing the discharge port 15 as shown in FIG.

To wash with water after use, with the protruding discharge port 18 of the opening/closing body 16 facing the discharge port 15 as shown in FIG. 4, and the outer cutter 11 surface facing up as shown in FIG. Water may be poured into the outer blade 11 from a water faucet B or the like. Then, the water that has passed through the outer blade 11 is stirred by the inner blade 10 in the storage chamber 13 and is guided from the discharge port 15 to the protruding discharge port 18, and from the tip of the discharge port 18, the water is stirred by the inner blade body 10. It flows out along with whiskers in the C direction away from the grip. This makes it possible to wash away the beard debris in the storage chamber 13. by the way,
Immediately after the start of washing with water, just before the end of washing, or when the amount of water poured is small, the force of drainage from the protruding outlet 18 becomes weak. However, since the tip of the protruding outlet 18 is away from the surface of the razor body 1 and drains well at the tip, drainage is prevented from running down the surface of the razor body 1.

Furthermore, when sliding the opening/closing body 16, the protruding outlet 18 can be used as a knob.
Thereby, the opening/closing body 16 can be easily operated even if it is wet.

Note that the present invention can also be implemented in an electric shaver of the type in which the inner cutter body moves back and forth. In this case, an outer cutter body having an outer cutter is used as a constituent wall portion of the storage chamber, and a discharge port and an opening/closing body are provided on this outer cutter body. In addition, in the present invention, the direction of the protruding outlet is
Depending on the relationship with the razor body, it may be determined as appropriate to prevent drainage from splashing onto or running down the razor body.

In addition, when implementing the present invention, unless it is contrary to the gist of the invention, the razor body, the storage chamber, the constituent walls of the storage chamber, the outer blade body, the inner blade body, the discharge port, the opening/closing part,
It goes without saying that the specific structure, shape, position, material, etc. of the protruding outlet and the like are not limited to the one embodiment described above, and can be configured and implemented in various ways.

[Effect of the invention] Since the present invention described above has the configuration described in the above-mentioned utility model registration claims, it suppresses the flow of wastewater containing beard shavings onto the surface of the razor body, and This has effects such as being able to prevent hair shavings from adhering to fingers, etc., and facilitating the opening/closing operation even if the opening/closing body for opening/closing the discharge port is wet.
