An electric shaving assembly for shaving decorative designs in hair includes a shaver. A cutting assembly is operationally coupled to the shaver and is configured to cut hair. Each of a plurality of masks is selectively couplable to the shaver to cover the cutting assembly. Each of a plurality of openings is positioned in a top of a respective mask. Each opening has a shape so that the plurality of openings has a variety of shapes, such as letters of the alphabet and designs. Each mask is configured to contact skin of a user to position the cutting assembly to shave a respective shape into the hair on the skin.

An electric shaver includes a main body, an outer blade that is held by the main body in a state where a surface of the outer blade is exposed, an inner blade that is disposed inside the outer blade so as to be movable relative to the outer blade, and a rotator that has a rotating body disposed in the main body so as to extend in a moving direction of the inner blade, and a supporter disposed in the main body so as to rotatably support the rotating body. The rotator has an elastic body which enables the rotating body to rotate in a state where the rotating body is in contact with a skin, and which restrains the rotating body from vibrating in a state where the rotating body is not in contact with the skin.

A beard trimmer having a handle, a motor and a head portion. The head portion has a rotary cutting unit for trimming hair that is provided with a first outer cutter and a first inner cutter.

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.

A reciprocating-type electric shaver includes an outer blade, an oscillator that is driven to reciprocate by a motor, and an inner blade that reciprocates in cooperation with the oscillator. The oscillator includes attachment portions that are respectively attached to a main body, a movable base, both end sides of which are supported by the attachment portions via support portions having a substantially U-shape, and a cooperation portion that cooperates with the inner blade. In the respective support portions, a portion on a side connected to the attachment portion in a base portion, which is one linear portion of the U-shape, is formed in flexible oscillating pieces. The respective oscillating pieces are formed to be tilted in a direction orthogonal to a reciprocating direction of the movable base so that a lower portion side of the respective oscillating pieces is open outward in the reciprocating direction of the movable base.

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.

A reciprocating electric razor head includes a fixed blade and a fixed blade support for supporting and fixing the fixed blade. The fixed blade is provided with hair entrance holes for body hair to enter, and an inner side of the fixed blade is provided with a movable blade capable of moving backward and forward in a reciprocating manner relative to the fixed blade to cut off the body hair inside the hair entrance holes, such that the fixed blade obtains a very flat cutting working face contacting the movable blade without the need for additional precision machining.

The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer. The cutter system includes 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 the cutting elements are provided with lateral protection elements having rounded and/or chamfered edge contours for soft skin engagement. The 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.

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.
