Claims
- 1. A dry-shaving apparatus comprising a longitudinally extending shear plate provided with hair-entry apertures; an associated longitudinally extending cutter rotatable about an axis of rotation, said cutter including a spindle coaxially positioned with respect to said axis of rotation; the shear plate having a central portion shaped as a part of a cylindrical surface and formed with the hair-entry apertures, said central portion partly surrounding the cutter; cutting elements movable relative to the cutter in a substantially radial direction, each cutting element having a cutting edge at its radial end; and more than two coaxial discs axially spaced from each other and formed with slots extending in a substantially radial direction, said coaxial discs being rigidly mounted on said spindle; each cutting element having oppositely disposed axially projecting connecting portions for insertion of the cutting element into facing slots in two adjacent discs, the connecting portions being movable in the slots in a substantially radial direction.
- 2. A dry-shaving apparatus according to claim 1, in which the radial distance of the cutting edges of the cutting elements on one side of a disc from the axis of rotation differs from the radial distance of the cutting edges of the cutting elements on the other side of the disc from the axis of rotation.
- 3. A dry-shaving apparatus according to claim 1, in which the shear plate is formed with reinforcing ridges.
- 4. A dry-shaving apparatus comprising a longitudinally extending shear plate provided with hair-entry apertures; an associated longitudinally extending cutter rotatable about an axis of rotation, said cutter including a spindle coaxially positioned with respect to said axis of rotation; the shear plate having a central portion shaped as a part of a cylindrical surface and formed with the hair-entry apertures, said central portion partly surrounding the cutter; cutting elements movable relative to the cutter in a substantially radial direction, each cutting element having a cutting edge at its radial end; and more than two coaxial discs axially spaced from each other and formed with slots extending in a substantially radial direction, said coaxial discs being rigidly mounted on said spindle; each cutting element having oppositely disposed axially projecting connecting portions for insertion of the cutting element into facing slots in two adjacent discs, the cutting elements on opposite sides of a disc being offset from one another and partly overlapping each other, the connecting portions being movable in the slots in a substantially radial direction.
- 5. A dry-shaving apparatus comprising a longitudinally extending shear plate provided with hair-entry apertures; an associated longitudinally extending cutter rotatable about an axis of rotation, said cutter including a spindle coaxially positioned with respect to said axis of rotation; the shear plate having a central portion shaped as a part of a cylindrical surface and formed with the hair-entry apertures, said central portion partly surrounding the cutter; cutting elements movable relative to the cutter in a substantially radial direction, each cutting element having a cutting edge at its radial end; and more than two coaxial discs axially spaced from each other and formed with slots extending in a substantially radial direction, said coaxial discs being rigidly mounted on said spindle; each cutting element having oppositely disposed axially projecting connecting portions for insertion of the cutting element into facing slots in two adjacent discs, the cutting edges of the cutting elements on one side of a disc being situated on a cylindrical surface, and the cutting edges of the cutting elements on the other side of the disc being situated on a conical surface, the connecting portions being movable in the slots in a substantially radial direction.
- 6. A dry-shaving apparatus comprising a longitudinally extending shear plate providing with hair-entry apertures; an associated longitudinally extending cutter rotatable about an axis of rotation, said cutter including a spindle coaxially positioned with respect to said axis of rotation; the shear plate having a central portion shaped as a part of a cylindrical surface and formed with the hair-entry apertures, said central portion partly surrounding the cutter; the shear plate also being formed with reinforcing ridges which extend helically relative to the axis of rotation; cutting elements movable relative to the cutter in a substantially radial direction, each cutting element having a cutting edge at its radial end; and more than two coaxial discs axially spaced from each other and formed with slots extending in a substantially radial direction, said coaxial discs being rigidly mounted on said spindle; each cutting element having oppositely disposed axially projecting connecting portions for insertion of the cutting element into facing slots in two adjacent discs, the connecting portions being movable in the slots in a substantially radial direction.
