Claims
- 1. A dry-shaving apparatus comprising an external shear member formed with hair-entry apertures and an associated internal shear member rotatably drivable relative to the external shear member; said internal shear member including a carrier, a hair-severing cutter provided with a cutting edge, and a resilient element acting between the carrier and the cutter, at least a part of the cutter being movable against the action of the resilient element in a direction substantially opposed to the direction of driving the internal shear member.
- 2. A dry-shaving apparatus as claimed in claim 1, in which the resilient element is constructed as a blade spring.
- 3. A dry-shaving apparatus as claimed in claim 2, in which the blade spring is integral with a central part of a sheet material secured to the carrier.
- 4. A dry-shaving apparatus as claimed in claim 1, in which the cutter includes a connecting arm having one end secured to the carrier, the connecting arm being formed as the resilient element.
- 5. A dry-shaving apparatus as claimed in claim 4, in which the connecting arm is provided with oppositely disposed recesses, an elastic pivot thereby being provided in the connecting arm at the location of said recesses.
- 6. A dry-shaving apparatus as claimed in claim 1, in which the cutter is rotatable relative to the carrier about an axis of rotation, and the cutting edge of the cutter is situated behind the axis of rotation viewed in the direction of driving the internal shear member.
- 7. A dry-shaving apparatus as claimed in claim 1, in which the cutter is made of a laminated material comprising a metal layer forming the cutting edge and a plastic layer having vibration-damping properties.
- 8. A dry-shaving apparatus as claimed in claim 1, in which a hair-pulling element is associated with the cutter and is positioned before said cutter in the direction of driving the internal shear member.
- 9. A dry-shaving apparatus as claimed in claim 8, in which the hair-pulling element is made of a laminated material comprising a metal layer and a plastic layer.
- 10. A dry-shaving apparatus comprising an external shear member formed with hair-entry apertures and an associated internal shear member rotatably drivable relative to the external shear member; said internal shear member including at least one hair-severing cutter with a cutting edge effective to sever a hair in cooperation with the external shear member, a carrier having an upper side and an underside and with one or more openings in which one or more of said cutters are disposed, said cutters being loaded by parts of a resilient body secured to the underside of said carrier, and the upper side of said carrier having a resilient element which acts between the carrier and the cutter, at least a part of said cutter being movable against the action of said resilient element in a direction substantially opposed to the direction of driving the internal shear member.
- 11. A dry-shaving apparatus as claimed in claim 10 in which the resilient element is a blade spring and said parts of the resilient body comprise V-shaped arms.
- 12. A dry-shaving apparatus comprising an external shear member formed with hair-entry apertures and an associated internal shear member rotatably drivable relative to the external shear member; said internal shear member including a carrier; at least one cutter having a cutting edge adapted to sever hair and a connecting arm secured at one end to the carrier; said connecting arm forming a bent resilient element acting between the carrier and the cutter, said cutter being movable in a direction substantially opposite to the direction of driving the internal shear member.
- 13. A dry-shaving apparatus comprising an external shear member formed with hair-entry apertures and an associated internal shear member rotatably drivable relative to the external shear member; said internal shear member including a carrier; at least one cutter having a cutting edge adapted to sever hair and a connecting arm secured at one end to the carrier; said connecting arm forming a resilient element acting between the carrier and the cutter and being provided with oppositely disposed recesses forming an elastic pivot, said cutter being movable in a direction substantially opposed to the direction of driving the internal shear member.
