The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and trimmer, comprising a pair of cooperating cutting elements with two rows of comb-like cutting teeth at opposite edges thereof and cutting perforations between said rows of comb-like cutting teeth, wherein said cutting elements are movably supported relative to each other by a support structure. The cutting perforations may be arranged in two separated elongated fields of perforations which are separated from each other by an elongated unperforated center section of an outer one of said cutting elements defining a skin contact surface, and which include each at least two rows of perforations extending along the rows of comb-like cutting teeth.

The invention relates to a swing bridge for converting a rotary motion into an oscillating motion, especially into a linear oscillating motion, especially within an electrically driven device. The swing bridge comprises an oscillating body defining a plane. The oscillating body comprises a slot arranged in the plane, wherein a first axis extends through the slot perpendicular to the plane, and a drive shaft protruding perpendicular to the plane along a second axis.

The invention relates to an electrically driven device, for example an electric hair removal device, such as a wet or dry shaver, an electric toothbrush or an electric skin treatment device. The electrically driven device comprises a housing having a chassis, wherein the chassis comprises an electric motor having a first drive shaft, a battery unit, and an oscillating body having a second drive shaft. A first longitudinal axis is defined arranged along the second drive shaft, a second longitudinal axis is defined arranged along the first drive shaft, and a third longitudinal axis is defined arranged through the center of the body of the battery unit, wherein the second longitudinal axis and/or the third longitudinal axis are parallel offset to the first longitudinal axis.

The present invention relates to a hair collector (10) for a hair cutting appliance (100) having a cutting element (110). The hair collector comprises a housing (20), and an attachment portion (30). The housing comprises a plurality of walls (40) of which at least one side wall (42) comprises a structure (50) forming a plurality of openings. The attachment portion is configured to attach the hair collector to the hair cutting appliance. When the hair collector is connected to the hair cutting appliance, a cut hair collection chamber is formed. The cut hair collection chamber comprises the plurality of walls of the housing and the cutting element. When the hair collector is connected to the hair cutting appliance, the hair collector is configured such that the cutting element can contact skin of a user of the hair cutting appliance.

A comb-shaped outer blade that scoops up body hair while suppressing the damage to the skin. The comb-shaped outer blade includes a base part that has a rod shape and extends in a first direction, a comb-blade attachment part that has a plate shape and extends in the first direction and a second direction, open blade parts each of which has a cantilever shape and protrudes from base part in a third direction, and bent blade parts arranged alternately with the open blade parts in the first direction, the bent blade parts connecting the base part to the attachment part. Each of the bent blade parts includes a protruding part that protrudes from the base part along the third direction, bent part that is connected to a distal end of the protruding part, and connecting part that connects bent part and comb-blade attachment part in an inclined state.

A reciprocating razor blade cartridge having fixed blade and fixed blade support, fixed blade is flexible metal sheet, fixed blade support is basin-shaped and supported by basin opening edge, all sides of fixed blade bent downwards and wrapped on outside of basin wall around fixed blade support and make top surface of fixed blade and side surface close to top surface smoothly transition, inner cutting cavity formed between fixed blade and fixed blade support, fixed blade includes hair inlet holes allow body hair enter inner cutting cavity, inner cutting cavity below fixed blade includes movable blade can reciprocate back and forth relative to fixed blade and cut off body hair, movable blade has cutting teeth for cutting body hair corresponding to hair inlet holes, reciprocating razor blade cartridge includes transmission component passes through bottom of fixed blade support to connect movable blade with power device of electric razor.

The present invention relates to a hair cutting appliance (10) comprising a blade set (20), and to a blade set (20) of a hair cutting appliance (10). The blade set (20) is arranged to be moved through hair in an assumed moving direction (28) to cut hair. The blade set (20) comprises a stationary blade (22), a movable blade (24), and a lateral protecting element (56). The stationary blade (22) comprises at least one toothed cutting edge (32, 34), a lateral end (30), and a first surface (48) that is arranged, when in use for shaving purposes, as a skin-contacting surface. The movable blade (24) comprises a toothed cutting edge (32, 34). The stationary blade (22) and the movable blade (24) are arranged to be reciprocally moved with respect to each other in a cutting direction (Y) that is basically perpendicular to the assumed moving direction (28). The lateral protecting element (56) is associated with the lateral end (30), thereby defining a lateral end cap of the stationary blade (22), wherein the lateral protecting element (56) laterally shields a lateral edge (40) of the lateral end (30), such that, when in use, skin contact of the lateral edge (40) is prevented. The lateral protecting element (56) and the lateral end (30) cooperate so as to prevent hairs from being trapped therebetween. The stationary blade (22) and the movable blade (24) are at least partially made from steel, and the lateral protecting element (56) is made from plastic material. The blade set (20) configured to pivot or swivel with respect to a housing of the hair cutting appliance (10).
