Abstract

A body care apparatus has a razor part (1) having a razor blade head (4) for shaving and a handle (2) designed as a hair-cutter. The razor part has a holding body (3) for carrying the razor blade head (4) in an exchangeable manner and which can be snapped on the hair-cutter (2) selectively in a use position for shaving, in which it projects at an angle, and in a non-use position. For fastening the razor part the hair-cutter has a traverse (7) upon which the razor part holding body (3) is snapped with a groove-shaped recess (8) in both said positions. When not in use, the holding body is snapped on in an upside down position, so that the razor blade head (4) is located in a recess (11) inside the hair-cutter. The apparatus is thus always ready to be used for cutting hair and for shaving.

DECLARATION REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 19

The personal care device is used to treat hair and beard hair and has a hair trimmer, which consists only of a one-piece housing and with respect adjustable this comb part, a releasably attachable shaving, by means of a snap-in snap connection in an angularly extending to the housing position of use for shaving and in a non-use position, in which it is located in a recess of the housing, is connectable to the housing. In the prior art according to WO 84/00319 shaving requires a pivot bearing in a two-part housing made of four parts rather expensive hair clipper, in which the locking means for locking the comb part by turning handle designed much more complicated than the simple rack on one-piece housing of the subject of the application are.
