The present disclosure further relates to a blade set (64, 164) and to methods of manufacturing a stationary blade (66, 166) and a blade set (64, 164) for a hair cutting appliance (10).

Aspects of the present disclosure relates to a multifunctional shaving razor that is a combination of different kind of razor blade holders, trimmer and dry shaving gel/after-shave lotion for providing a single device with all necessary grooming stuff and is easy to handle and cost efficient. The proposed multifunctional shaving razor 100 consists of triangular detachable blade holder adaptor 200, trimmer assembly 600 and shaving gel dispensing system 400 for providing multi-functionality of shaving, grooming and trimming in a single device. The proposed multifunctional shaving razor 100 can be used universally as it provides a complete solution of all shaving and grooming needs in a single device that is compact to carry from one place to another.

The invention refers to an electric shaver with a first cutter element and a second cutter element which are movable relative to each other in an oscillating manner along a first horizontal cutter oscillation axis. Each cutter unit is mounted in the cartridge pivotably about a second horizontal tilting axis and axially displaceably parallel to a vertical axis. The first horizontal cutter oscillation axis is perpendicular to the vertical axis and perpendicular to the second horizontal tilting axis.

Electric shaver provided with a handle and a shaver head including at least one cutter element, wherein the shaver head is connected to the handle by a support structure providing for a swivel and/or tilting axis about which the shaver head may swivel or tilt relative to the handle, wherein the cutter element is drivable by a drive unit in an oscillating manner along a cutter oscillation axis, the drive unit including an elongated drive transmitter coupled to the cutter element.

An integrated shaving mechanism (ISM) comprises a 28- x 50-mm perforated arbor of 40-mm cylindrical radius supporting a 50-m 300-mg inverted-headfoil-like cutterfoil with a 2540-mm cutting pattern, held slideably under an attached complementary-patterned headfoil. Arbor, cutterfoil, and headfoil provide a few-mm thick shaving mechanism coupled to a shaver body having a motor and eccentric drive shaft that in minor design variations scans the cutterfoil either 1-mm in reciprocation (R-ISM) or 1-mm-R in circulation (C-ISM) at 0.16K-cpm. With its 10-cm.sup.2 area of 0.7-mm-spaced cutting edges capable of firm facial contact, it cuts short hairs at up to 10 the rate of conventional shavers for fast closest-cutting. Arbor-supported cutterfoils and headfoils can be fabricated as thin and lightweight monolayers and multilayers of hard materials and coatings by mechanical and non-mechanical processes. ISMs can be embodied in the size and shape of reciprocator and rotary shavers.

The present invention relates to an electric shaver comprising a shaver housing, a shaver head including at least one cutter element drivable by a drive unit in an oscillating manner along a cutter oscillation axis and a non-cutting auxiliary function element for applying an auxiliary skin treatment other than hair cutting to a skin portion to be shaved, said auxiliary function element having an applicator head positioned aside the cutter element. The shaver head and/or the at least one cutter element is supported pivotably relative to the auxiliary function element at least about a pivot axis parallel to the cutter oscillation axis.

A flex clipper provides a feature to help the cutting blade set float more effortlessly by adjusting automatically to the contours of a client's head to prevent getting stuck and causing cuts and irritation to the scalp. The hair clippers preferably also uses a self-contained motor-driven adjustment mechanism to adjust the relative position of the stationary and reciprocating blades of a common type of blade set. Two momentary switches operable by the thumb of the hand holding the clipper afford a barber total automatic adjustment with the clipper itself in an on or off condition.

A trimmer includes a blade assembly including a stationary blade and a movable blade. Each of the stationary blade and the movable blade includes blade teeth. The stationary blade includes a first transverse edge portion, a second transverse edge portion, and a middle portion. The first transverse edge portion includes a first upper surface extending from a first edge to the upper surface. The second transverse edge portion includes a second upper surface extending from a second edge to the upper surface. In some embodiments, the trimmer includes a toothed blade guard.

The invention refers to an electric shaver comprising a shaver housing, a shaver head and at least one cartridge mounted in or on said shaver housing. The adaption of the cutter element to the contour of the skin to be shaved is improved by permitting at least one additional movement of the at least one cutter unit relative to the shaver head.

Hair clippers which incorporate a microcontroller, a number of DC or stepper motors, and sensors to carry out linear movements of the guard disposed on a body of the hair clippers to ultimately perform a haircut of variable length. The microcontroller is programmed to either change the guard length incrementally at a press of a button or perform a predefined routine as determined by the user. The hair clippers have a LCD screen on the front for the user to easily view the length they are cutting at or to navigate through a number of available programs or routines. The hair clippers also include both a motorized and a manual means for the user to adjust the relative alignment of the teeth disposed on the guard, thereby permitting the user to provide an asymmetrical cut or cut the hair around a client's ears.
