Application February 5, 1947, Serial No. 726,706

14 Claims.

This invention relates to the construction of shaving implements in general, and more particularly to a type known as electric razors.

In accordance with my invention, I produce a shaving implement provided with a pluralityof cutting units, wherein two of such cutting units are positioned in a spaced manner having their upper shearing faces disposed at an even level withrespect to each other, and a third of said putting units being positioned between such two 'spaced-apart cutting units in a manner forming an inner shaving unit having its upper shearing face disposed at a lower levelthan that of the level of the said two spaced cutting units, thereby providing a spaced section therebetween for the skin ofthe face to be shaved to bulge therein, and wherein said inner unit is forming means adapted to position the side portions of such bulge against the inner side shearing faces of the two spaced apart units, and wherein the shearing face of such inner unit may be adapted to cut the hair positioned on the peak of such bulge.`

There is, therefore, thus produced, in accordance with my invention, a, shaving implement provided with a plurality of individual shearing units having a spaced section between them for the skin of the face to be shaved to bulge therein, and having means adapted to place the side portions of such bulge against the side shearing faces of the spaced units, and wherein such means is adapted to cutthehair at the peak of such bulge, thereby rendering a close and clean shave to the user in a satisfactory manner.

To illustrate the ordinary commercial utility of my shaving implement in daily life, a shaving implement constructed in accordance with my invention, of whatever style or type it may be made, could be utilized to great advantage. For the purpose of explaining applicants invention the following may be said. It is a well known fact, that although the shaving heads of the present type of electric razors have been developed, mechanically, to a very fine degree, yet, many users complain that their electric razors do not shave well enough tovan extent where it would .meet with their approval. l

A careful study ofthe manner in which the electric razors perform their function, while being moved upon the face for shaving purposes, will reveal the fact that the' front portion of the leading head unit brushes the hair away from the razor, and only swift up and `down movements of the shaving instrument upon the face will cause the hair to enter the shearing openings, and that, in a manner which may be .termed accidentally or involuntarily Such swift movements usually causes what is termed as a "burn upon the face. Naturally, under such circumstances, it is quite understood why the user would be dissatisi'led with the shaving performance of his electric razor. i

Strange as it may seem, yet, it is a fact that the brushing aside of the hair by the front portion of the leading head unit of an electric razor cannot be eliminated. The only solution to make the electric razor useful, t0 its full ability, as a shaving instrument, is to improve the structure thereof, and develop the razor to such an extent, whereby other sections than that of the front portion of the leading head unit could'be made to cut hair. Applicant has therefore invented` and patented the multiple head electric razor (Patent No. Re. 22,638), wherein each of the head units have been provided with an upper shearing face and with side shearing faces. Such head units have been positioned in a manner providing a spaced section therebetween for the purpose of having the skin of the face to be shaved to bulge therein, so that while the front portion of the leading head unit would brush the hair aside as usual, the inner side shearing face of the trailing head unit wouldcut the hair on the side portion of the bulge.

Such structure has been provedto be a great improvement over the single head electric razor, and is now being -used commercially instead of the old type single head electric razor. But such multiple head razor, although it is considered a great improvement over the single head electric razor, has notproved to be completely satisfac-l tory to the user, the reason is, that the side por.- tions of the bulge do not lie flush with or against the inner side shearing faces of the units. Such -units have no means whereby the side portions portion, the remaining portion of such side shearing faces do not cut any of the hair of the lower section of the bulge, thusl such razor can not ac` complish its function to the f-ull extent of its ability. i

The above matter became a very vexing problem'in the electric razor industry, to an extent that it became very important, genera1ly that 3 such problem be solved in a, proper and practical manner.

It therefore became apparent, that the multiple head razor structure must be improved to such an extent whereby it may be possible to include means therein which may be adapted to be used for the purpose of placing the side portions of the bulge fully ush with, or against, the inner-side shearing faces of the units, in a manner whereby the entire inner-shearing faces of such head units may be able 'to 'cut the hair of the full side portions of the bulgethereby accomplishing its shearing function to the full eX- tent of its ability, thus making the multiple head unit electric razor a more useful shaving instrument than it actually is at present.

yWith the above-mentioned matter in mind, it will be readily seen that applicants present invention solves the abovementioned problem in a complete and satisfactory manner. t provides the desired means capable of .placing the side portions of the bulge flatly against the inner side Y shearing faces of the individual head units, which in itself is, as hereinabove pointed out, a great and much needed improvement over the present type of multiple head electric razors, and, in Iaddition thereto, such invention also provides means which is adapted to cut the hair directly oif the peak of the bulge. Such a function has never been accomplished by any multiple head electric razor. It will be vseenfrom the herein'illustrations, for eXample,.Fig. 5, that7 it is on thepeak of the bulge where the hair is best situated for shavnigpurposes, each or' the hair is outstanding individually iby itself, not crowded bythe adjacent hair, stationed ina'nerect manner, an ideal position 'for hair'fto be cut or lshaved at the base portion thereof, thereby rendering a clean shave in 'a comfortable manner, eliminating so-called burns while shaving, vthusmaking the multiple head Vstructure apractic'al 'and vuseful shaving implement.

Thus, an electric raior, produced, in accordance with my invention, fulfills a long-'felt need in the industry of electric razors, the function that rapplicants structure accomplishes, znamely, the shaving or cutting of hair located at the peak of the bulge and of those located at the side portions of the bulge simultaneously with the hair located at the curved section adjacent to the bulge is an achievement not obtained h'ere'tofore'by a multiple head electric razor. Applicants structure is therefore a very important improvement in the art of making multiple .head electric razors, it solves the most v'eXing `problem in 'the electric razor industry. A .multiple head electric razor, made in accordance with in'y 'inventiomwill 'render a closer and more satisfactory shave to the user', land can be utilized to great advantage and therefore prove quite valuable commercially.

'I he variety of possible application of my novel construction 'in connection with different types of shaving implements, as hereinabove indicated, is so prolific that for the purpose `of illustrating the invention the specific embodiment of my inventionzin its application to a shaving implement exhibiting the greatest difficulties has been selected.k Such shaving implement is one which necessarily must conform most rigidly to theicontours of the portion to beshavedandone which has thetfleld of greatest possible comI-n'erci'al use. For this purpose I have selected for illustration of my lnovel construction, a shaving .implement constituting a multiple head electricrazor, so that the principles of Vconstruction may be best illustrated in a shaving implement known as a multiple head electric razor.

The objects of the present invention are attained by a novel construction which will be hereinafter described and illustrated in the drawing in connection, with a specic embodiment of the invention.

In the accompanying drawing in which such specific embodiment of my invention is illustrated,

Fig. 1 is a side sectional view of Vmy electric shaving implement, showing the relation between the two upper spaced head units and the lower central head unit, and the bulged skin to be shaved;

Fig. 2 is a front sectional view taken along line 2--2 of Fig. l;

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the three stationary shearing members in assembled position;

Fig. 4 is a perpsective View of the base portion in open position for cleaning, with thenormal closed position of the closure element being shown in dotted lines.; and

Fig. 5 shows the position of the skin when the shaver is applied to the face to be shaved, yand illustrating the position of the `hair particularly at the peak portion of the bulge for'shaving.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, in which similar rreference characters identify similar parts in the several views, in my novel shaving implement.

Numeral 5 shows 'a Vmotor-containing handle which may be made of any desirable material (metal or plastic) andmay be molded or machined to any lsuitable rstyle or shape, and is adapted to beconnected to a source of power by a cable 5. Y

Arrow I lV indicates the "shavingsection of the implement which comprises two individual outer head units l iand a centrally located individual unit, arrow I2, herein after referred to 'as an inner unit or centrally located unit. These two units are positioned atxa'pproximately a corresponding height with respect to Veach other and the `centrally located unit is positioned with its upper shearing face at a point below the upper faces of each of such'two outer units, thereby providing a spaced section between such units wherein the floor comprises shearing means for cutting the -hair at 'the portion of the skin bulging into such spaced section. Of course, such shaving section may comprise more units if so desired. applicants showngof three units is only for illustrative purposes.

Each of such individual units Ycomprises an cuter stationary shearing members C having an inner movable shearing members 38. Each of such stationary 'members comprises a kframe portion 7 secured to a block B by any suitable means, for example, rivets or screws D and each of the movable members comprises a shearing frame 38' secured to a block 8 by similar suitable means. Of course such members may be made of a single piece of material, and Vbe shaped in any desirable manner, for example, 'shaped Around or hexagon style cross-sectionally.

Each of the frame .portions Iof thefs'tationary members C and `the "shearing frames 38 Vof the movable members 38 form uppershearing faces arrow 9, outer'side shearing faces O andinner side shearingfaces O". These shearing.. faces may be shaped, formed or vdesigned in any suitable or desirable manner, the convexed shape vherein shown is for illustrative. purposes only and not forlimitae tion pur-poses. It vwillhief-seen that while the shearinstrument,

ing faces of the outer head units I I are each provided with small shearing openings as indicated by the letter O, the upper shearing face of the inner unit, arrow l2, is provided'with shearing slots I4, this is done for the followingreason: The hair at the curved, or concaved, section of the skin I6 (see arrow I'I, Fig. 5) are situated much `closer to each other than they are when such skin portion is in a normal position, such hair are therefore too close to each other, or too crowded, and cannot readily enter the small shearing openings O located on the convexed outer shearing face of the outer head units II', they slide to a certain extent u-pon such convexed portion before entering such small openings of the shearing face. Such hair begin toseparate from each other when reaching the position upon the side portion of the bulge (see arrow I9) and assume an individually outstanding and erect position when located at the peak portion of the bulge (see arrow I8) at which time they are fully separated from each other and therefore in a perfect position to enter readily into the shearing slots I li of the inner unit, arrow I2. Because of their particular separated outstanding form 'and erect position when located upon the bulge, such hair are cut close to their base portion upon the skin being shaved. Furthermore, the upper shearing face I4, ofthe inner unit I2, is adapted to press against the bulge (arrow I) in a manner spreading the lower side portions of such bulge I5 and placing same against the inner side shearing face O' of the outer head units I I', (see Fig. l), so that the upper and side shearing faces of the outer units I I' and the upper shearing face of the inner unit, arrow I2, form, practically, one continuous shearing face of an enlarged and extended area. It will thus be seen that this structure cuts the hair in the most practical manner at a time when such hair are most accessible for shearing purposes, that is, when they are individually separated from each other and in an outstandingand erect position upon the peak of the bulge, thus this instrument provides a clean and precise shave.

Naturally, the edge portions of the above mentioned openings or slots of the shearing faces are shaped to form the cutting edges or cutting teeth of such shearing faces, so that when the hair enter such openings or slots they get sheared oi by the frictional engagement of such edges when the inner member 38 is being moved within the stationary member C. It is not advisable to provide the conveXed shearing faces, arrow 9, of the outer units ii with fully slotted shearing openings, (for example in a manner as shown at I4) because portions of the concaved skin section which is, due to such curved shape, in a soft and loose state, are apt to force their way into such shearing slots and be scratched by the movable inner shearing edges, whereas the skin portion at the peak of the bulge is in a tense state and is therefore not in danger oi being so scratched when ,positioned against the shearing slots of the inner unit, arrow i2. Oi? course, the shearing face I4 of the inner unit, arrow I2, may be provided with small shearing openings if so desired, but such is not advisable, because the material between such small shearing openings may brush the hair at the bulge sideways, and thus prevent the cutting of same at their` base portion. Gf course, the size, shape or position of the above mentioned openings or slots is an optional matter with the `manufacturer of the It will thus be seen that the shearing section, made in accordance withimy invention, provides a practical shaving instrument, capable of rendering a shaving performance long-sought-for, it accomplishes a function not obtained heretofore fiom a multi-ple head electric razor.

The block B of the stationary member C is provided with side openings N, each one of these openings terminate into a restricted top opening N. A ball or bearing L is inserted within the opening N and is supported therein by suitable resilient means, as for example, a spring S which is supported by a screw-threaded member S The member S presses against the spring S' which in turn presses against the ball L in a manner whereby a portion of such ball protrudes out through the restricted top opening N and engages the underface of the block 3 of thev movable member 3B, thereby gently forcing the upper face of the shearing `portion of the movable member to engage the under face of the shearing portion of the stationary member in a mannereifecting a frictional contact between the shearing edges of the movable member and the shearing edges of the stationary member for hair cutting or shaving purposes. Of course, such tension may be controlled by the movements or adjustment of the screw-threaded member S.

The stationary members C, of the head units, are each provided with undercut end portions adapted to be positioned within the base portion or member A and having their shoulders B' adapted to rest upon the flange portions E. Such ange portions are each provided with openings 22 adapted to receive screw-threaded elements 23 which may be interlocked in a screw-threaded connection, with the openings 2I of the blocks B; thus holding such head units in desired position upon the base member A.

The iiange portions E are each provided with a closure element F connected thereto by a rivet or screw-threaded member 25, in a manner whereby when such closure element is moved into open position it will swing or hinge side ways, in a plane transverse to the length of the shearing unit, and move away from the flange E in a hinge'able and easy manner, and when such closure element is being swung into closed position it will move closer towards the ange portion E and fit snugly into desired position. The closure elements F and the flange portions E are each provided with snap fastening means 2t and 2l which are adapted to beinterlocked with each other when such closure elements F are in a normal closed position, in a manner as shown by dotted lines, arrow 2S, in which casei'the sections F' will be heldin desired locked position and cover the openings J of the hollow head units i I', and arrow i2, thereby preventing the escaping of cut hair from such bead unitswhile shaving. After shaving, such closure elements may be swung into open. position for the purpose oi removing the out hair from such openings J L It will be seen that the individual head units may be assembled in a manner forming a single combined shearing structure, and thus be placed. as an assembled unit, into desired position upon the recessed portion or seat formed at the end portion of the handle 5, `and'be secured thereto by any suitable means, for example, the side tions or wall portion of suchend portion may be provided with openingsl 3D, adapted to receive a screw-threaded element SI in a manner whereby `a portion of samei may engage a depression or opening 2S formed in the flange portions E there- 7 by .holding the combined shearing structure, or a'ssembledunit, 'in desired position upon the handle for shaving purposes.

If desired, .such connection may be made directly to `thefloorzo'f the basememberA. For eX- ample, such door may be provided with the open-v ings 22, and 'the screw-threaded elements 23, which are placed within such lopenings 22, may engage screw-threaded openings 2i which may vbe formed within the bottom portion of the blocks B, and thus forming an assembled unitary shearing head structure which may, as a unit, be secured by suitable means into desired position upon the handle 5 for shaving purposes.

It is naturally understood that turning the screw-threaded elements 23 in the desired direction will cause the stationary member C to be held tightly secured in its position upon the base member A, whereas turning such screw-threaded elements in an opposite direction will loosen such hold and .permit the removal .of that particular unit from its position, thus either one of the individu-al shaving .units may be removed, or replaced, without affecting the other shaving units.

The interior lof the handle 5 is provided with the means to hold the mechanism for reciprocating the movable member 38. A portion of such mechanism are the actuating elements T, each one of such elements T protrudes from the handle through an opening 35, and then extends through an opening 36 of the base member A and through the opening 31 Vof the block B, of the stationary member C and then into the depression or opening 39 formed in the block 8 of the movable member 38 (of the head-units Il and arrow l2). It will be seen that the openings 35, 36 and 37 are of a larger size in width than that of the recess or opening 39., so that when the starter R of the handle 5 is moved in the right direction the motor (not shown.) will begin to operate and the actuating members Twill be put in motion within the openings 35, 36 and 31 andthe upper section of each one of such actuating elements will move one of the movable or reciprocatory members 38 within the opening J of the station-- ary members C. Thus the shearing edges of `the movable member will co-act with the shearing edges of the stationary member for hair cutting or shaving purposes.

From the above it will be evident, that applicants invention herein above illustrated and described, teachesan entirely new principle in the art of shaving implement construction. The novel form, cr manner., vin which applicants shearing section is constructed, the new combination of parts and sections, of .individually operable instruments combined in a new and heretofore unknown manner, resulting in the provision of a shearing .face .constructed Von a new principle, a continuous shearing surface .formed of a plurality of individually .operable head units, establishes an entirely new and modern principle in the construction of multiple head electric razors. It creates a shearing device of a new and unique design, provided with practical and outstanding features, performing new functions unknown heretofore, a shaving implement capable of performing its shaving operations to the fullest extent of its .structural shearing ability, thus rendering a complete, clean and precise shave ina comfortable vand pleasing manner to the user. .It will therefore -be seen that applicants invention, lhereinillustrated and described, provides .a practical and useful shaving implement, its structure vis :of a .novel and patentable nature, itisolves the .most vexing problem in the 'electric .razor industry, .it can be utilized to great ladvantage by the user, and is therefore believed to be of .commercial value.

It will -therefore be seen that I have invented and perfected ashaving implement provided with a plurality of individual shaving units forming a shearing section of a new and unique design and structure, a shaving implement which is practical, useful and therefore of commercial value, and although I have shown cer-tain preferred forms or illustrations in order to explain and describe the novelty of my invention, yet, by showing such structure, 1 do not, by any means, limit myself to these structures, nor to the terms used in describing same, as they are for illustrative purposes only. Various suggestions and changes of vstructure may be .resorted to, and I Vdesire it to be understood that I have same vin mind when showing and describing this invention, and seek protection by Letters Patent. And, although I have mentioned in describing this invention of what material certain parts may be made, how they may be formed, shaped or styled and how they may be assembled, yet I desire it to be understood that this structure, or parts thereof, may be made of any suitable material, and shaped, formed, Vstyled or arranged in any desirable manner, and assembled in any convenient way so that the parts may be easily taken apart, removed, cleaned, replaced and reassembled, and that various changes in detail may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of this invention.
