An edge of the first face of each of the bars is caused to project widthwise and to move toward the second face to be farther from an intermediate part of the first face.

The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a stationary blade (102) and to a stationary blade (102), the method comprising providing a metal component (106), involving applying a first bending procedure, thereby forming a top wall (112) and two legs (114, 116) at opposite ends of the top wall (112) that are spaced away from one another in a longitudinal direction, wherein, subsequent to the bending procedure, each of the two legs (114, 116) is arranged at a first angle () with respect to the top wall (112), and wherein two bending edges (152, 154) are formed between the top wall (112) and the two legs (114, 116), providing a support insert (108) having a longitudinal extension (l.sub.s) that is at least slightly greater than a receiving space (l.sub.b) between the two bending edges (152, 154), joining the metal component (106) and the support insert (108),

wherein the metal component (106) is at least slightly pretensioned due to the longitudinal extension (l.sub.s) of the support insert (108), and applying a second bending procedure to the metal component (106), comprising further bending the two legs (114, 116), thereby arranging each of the two legs (114, 116) at a second angle (*) with respect to the top wall (112) that is smaller than the first angle ().

The present disclosure relates to a blade set (26) for a hair cutting appliance (10), said blade set (26) being arranged to be moved through hair in a moving direction (38) to cut hair, said blade set (26) comprising a stationary blade (42) comprising a support insert (70) and a metal component (68), wherein the metal component (68) and the support insert (70) are force-fitted to one another, wherein the metal component (68) is at least sectionally deformed to define at least one toothed leading edge (32, 34) having double-walled stationary blade teeth (44), wherein the metal component (68) forms a first wall (100) that is arranged to serve as a skin-facing wall when in operation, and a second wall (102) that is facing away from the first wall (100), and wherein a guide slot (60) for a movable blade (62) is defined between inwardly facing inner surfaces of the metal component (68) and the support insert (70), and a movable blade comprising a plurality of movable blade teeth (64), wherein the movable blade (62) is movably arranged between the metal component (68) and the support insert (70) in the guide slot (60), and wherein the movable blade (62) is, in the mounted state, preloaded and movably arranged in the guide slot (60) between the metal component (68) and the support insert (70). The disclosure further relates to a corresponding manufacturing method.

The present invention relates to electric appliances for personal care, in particular electric shavers, comprising a magnetic linear drive unit having first and second drive components supported for linear displacement relative to each other by a spring device and adapted to magnetically interact with each other. Said spring device includes a ring element made in one piece from plastic including at least one pair of leaf springs and a pair of cross-bars extending crosswise to said leaf springs and connecting said leaf springs to each other.

An electric hair cutting kit comprises a handle with a motor for driving a beard trimmer head portion and a shaver head portion. The shaver head portion is attachable to the handle and has at least a first shaver unit, which is provided with a first foil-type outer shaver cutter and a first inner shaver cutter.

An outer blade for a hair cutting device, the outer blade being mounted to an end of a main body of the hair cutting device, includes bars that each have a shape of a rectangular stick and are arranged at predetermined intervals. The outer blade also includes, at a skin-surface-contact-side first face of each of the bars, an agent holding part configured to hold an agent that is a substance having a predetermined effect on a skin surface, the agent holding part being a surrounded recess heading from the skin-surface-contact-side first face of the bar toward an inner-blade-side second face of the bar. Thus, the agent such as foam or gel can be held by the agent holding part at the skin-surface-side face of the outer blade, and friction can be reduced between the outer blade and the skin surface by the agent held by the agent holding part.

Electric shaver provided with at least one cutter unit, a drive unit for driving said at least one cutter unit and a display device for displaying information, wherein said drive unit, when being active, is operable in different operation modes, wherein a mode input element is provided for switching the drive unit into different operation modes.

The present disclosure relates to a hair cutting appliance (10), a blade set (20) for a hair cutting appliance (10), and to an integrally formed metal-plastic composite stationary blade (22) for said blade set (20). Said stationary blade (22) may comprise a first wall portion (58) arranged to serve as a skin facing wall when in operation, a second wall portion (60) at least partially offset from the first wall portion (58), such that the first wall portion (58) and the second wall portion (60) define therebetween an inner guide slot (116) arranged to receive a moveable cutter blade (24), at least one toothed leading edge (30) jointly formed by the first wall portion (58) and the second wall portion (60), and a plastic component (114) comprising at least one mounting element (36), wherein the at least one toothed leading edge (30) comprises a plurality of teeth (90), wherein the first wall portion (58) and the second wall portion (60) are integrally made from a metal component (56), particularly from a sheet metal component (56), wherein the first wall portion (58) and the second wall portion (60) mutually define an inner metal shell of the stationary blade (22), and wherein the plastic component (114) is molded to the second wall portion (60). The disclosure further relates to a method for manufacturing a respective blade.
