A pivot motor has a stator and an armature. The armature has an assembly of two spaced permanent magnets and a triangular flux bridge on one end. Magnetic flux is generated by passing alternating current through an electrical coil in the stator. The flux flows through the permanent magnets to generate electromotive force that vibrates the armature. The triangular flux bridge adjacent the magnets facilitates the flux flow, increasing motor power under typical load conditions and motor efficiency.

A pivot motor for a hair clipper is provided, including a stator with a plurality of laminations, a bobbin located in operational relation to the stator and having a coil of wire wound around the bobbin, an armature being configured for driving a hair clipper moving blade at one end, and having at least one magnet at an opposite end, the armature having a pivot point, and the motor being configured for operation between 2.5 and 4.2 Volts.

The present invention relates to electric shavers, handpieces of such shavers and a method of manufacturing such electric shavers. More particularly, the present invention relates to a shaver set comprising a plurality of electric shavers.

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.

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.

A beard trimmer which has a handle, a motor and a removable head portion. The head portion has at least a first long hair cutter unit for trimming hair. The first long hair cutter unit has first, non-foil type outer cutter and a first inner cutter, with the first outer cutter stacked onto the first inner cutter.

The present invention relates to an electric shaver. More particularly, the present invention relates to an electric shaver comprising a handle and a shaver head including at least one cutter unit having a drivable cutter element and a shear foil, wherein said shaver head is connected to said handle by means of a support structure which in some cases may provide for some movability of the shaver head relative to the handle. Said shaver head and/or said at least one cutter unit may have an elongated contour with a main axis extending transverse to the handle's longitudinal axis and substantially parallel to a cutter oscillation axis of said cutter element. The shaver head is spaced apart from the handle with a gap defined between a bottom face of said shaver head and a top face of said handle, said gap forming a ring-shaped contraction in the outer contour of the shaver around said support structure and giving access to the support structure bridging said gap.

The present invention generally relates to cleaning and washing shavers with water or other fluids. More particularly, the present invention relates to electric shavers comprising a handle portion, a shaver head supported by said handle portion and including at least one drivable cutter element, and at least one rinse opening for rinsing water through the interior of said shaver head. In accordance with one aspect, said rinse opening has a horn-shaped contour with a cross-section continuously expanding towards the ambience of the shaver.
