The present invention relates to cutting body hair such as beard stubbles of multidays' beard. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of cooperating cutting elements with two rows of comb-like cutting teeth at opposite edges thereof.

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 present invention relates to cutting body hair such as beard stubble. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, with a pair of cooperating cutting elements with at least one row of comb-like cutting teeth. The cutting elements are movably supported relative to each other by a support structure. At least one of the cutting elements, when viewed in cross section, has a C-shape including a pair of dog-eared holding flanges attached to the support structure and a slightly dome shaped or flat center section. The row of comb-like cutting teeth are formed in a transitional section between the dog-eared holding flanges and the center section. The dog-eared holding flange at the transitional section may be provided with a step-like concave depression forming thinned-out tooth tips.

A method of manufacturing a blade set (20) of a hair cutting appliance (10) includes forming a stationary blade (22). The stationary blade (22) comprises a first wall portion (100) arranged to serve as a skin facing wall when in operation, a second wall portion (102) at least partially offset from the first wall portion (100), such that the first wall portion (100) and the second wall portion (102) define therebetween a guide slot (96) arranged to receive a movable cutter blade (24), an intermediate wall portion (44) arranged between the first wall portion (100) and the second wall portion (102), and at least one toothed leading edge (30) jointly formed by the first wall portion (100) and the second wall portion (102). The at least one toothed leading edge (30) comprises a plurality of teeth (36), wherein the first wall portion (100) and the second wall portion (102) are connected at a frontal end of the at least one leading edge (30), thereby forming tips (86) of the teeth (36).

A blade set for a hair cutting appliance is described. The blade set (26) is arranged to be moved through hair in a moving direction to cut hair, and includes a stationary blade including a support insert and a metal component. The metal component and the support insert are force-fitted to one another. The metal component is at least sectionally deformed to define at least one toothed leading edge having double-walled stationary blade teeth. The metal component forms a first wall that is arranged to serve as a skin-facing wall when in operation, and a second wall that is facing away from the first wall. A guide slot for a movable blade is defined between inwardly facing inner surfaces of the metal component and the support insert and a movable blade having a plurality of movable blade teeth.

A method of manufacturing a stationary blade. A metal component is provided, and a first bending procedure is applied, forming a top wall and two legs at opposite ends of the top wall that are spaced away from one another longitudinally. Each of the two legs is arranged at a first angle with respect to the top wall, and two bending edges are formed between the top wall and the two legs. A support insert is also provided having a longitudinal extension that is at least slightly greater than a receiving space between the two bending edges. The metal component and support insert are joined, and a second bending procedure is applied to the metal component, where the two legs are further bent, thereby arranging each of the two legs at a second angle with respect to the top wall that is smaller than the first angle.
