The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of comb-like cutting elements with cooperating toothed cutting edges and movably supported relative to each other by a support element, wherein lateral ends of at least one of said cutting elements are provided with lateral protection elements having rounded and/or chamfered edge contours for soft skin engagement, wherein said lateral protection element is enveloping and covering a gap movably receiving the other cutting element and/or enveloping the support element.

The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of comb-like cutting elements with cooperating toothed cutting edges and movably supported relative to each other by a support element, wherein lateral ends of at least one of said cutting elements are provided with lateral protection elements having rounded and/or chamfered edge contours for soft skin engagement, wherein said lateral protection element is integrally formed in one part with the cutting element by an end portion of the cutting element bent away from a skin contact surface thereof and enveloping a gap movably receiving the other cutting element and/or enveloping the support element.

The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of comb-like cutting elements each with at least one row of cutting teeth and movable relative to each other, wherein one of said cutting elements has thickened and/or rounded tooth tips overhanging the tooth tips of the other cutting element, characterized in that said overhanging tooth tips are provided with a two-step rounding including a spherical or drop-shaped or pearl-shaped thickening and a bent or curved portion connecting said thickening to a main tooth portion and bent away from the skin contact surface of said main tooth portion, wherein a concave depression is formed in the transitional section between said thickening and said bent or curved portion on the skin contact side of the teeth.

A method for customizing a hair appliance includes the steps of generating a rendering of a hair appliance to be customized, displaying the rendering of the hair appliance on a graphical display of a remote terminal, receiving user input through the remote terminal for modifying a characteristic of at least one feature of the hair appliance, generating a modified rendering of the hair appliance to be customized based upon the user input received, and, displaying the modified rendering of the hair appliance on the graphical display of the remote terminal.

The present invention relates to a hair cutting appliance, a blade set for a haircutting appliance, and to a stationary blade for the blade set, the blade comprising a first wall segment, a second wall segment and an intermediate wall segment, fixedly interconnected forming a segmented stack, wherein the intermediate wall segment is disposed between the first wall segment and the second wall segment jointly forming, as an end of the segmented stack at least one toothed leading edge comprising a plurality of mutually spaced apart projections defining a plurality of teeth and respective tooth spaces, wherein the intermediate wall segment comprise a cutout portion and wherein the cutout portion in the intermediate wall segment, the first wall segment and the second wall segment define therebetween a guide slot for a movable blade. Further discussed is a method for manufacturing a respective blade.

A method of manufacturing a blade set assembly, a blade set assembly, and a hair cutting appliance, wherein the method includes providing a base component including a stationary blade, providing a movable component comprising a cutter blade, providing a coupling element, the coupling element being arranged to be interposed between the base component and the movable component, providing a plastic contact bridge, arranging the stationary blade and the cutter blade at a defined relative assembly position, securing the assembly position between the stationary blade and the cutter blade, involving attaching the plastic contact bridge to one of the base component and the movable component, attaching a retaining portion of the coupling element to the other one of the base component and the movable component, and penetrating the plastic contact bridge with at least one insertion end of the coupling element.

A hair cutting appliance, a blade set for a hair cutting appliance, and to a stationary blade for the blade set, the blade includes a first segment, a second segment, and an intermediate segment fixedly interconnected, forming a segmented stack, wherein the intermediate segment is disposed between the first segment and the second segment, jointly forming, at an end of the segmented stack, at least one toothed leading edge comprising a plurality of mutually spaced apart projections defining a plurality of teeth and respective tooth spaces wherein the intermediate segment comprises a cutout portion and wherein the cutout portion in the intermediate segment, the wall segment and the second segment define therebetween a guide slot for a movable blade.
