An elongated outer blade for a slit cutter is disclosed. The outer blade extends along a first axis and comprises a number of slits and webs disposed between the slits. The webs have an upper surface, a lower surface and side surfaces extending between the upper and lower surfaces. At least some of the webs are provided with a concave clearance formed between a side surface and the lower surface forming an edge with the side surface. Further, a shaver having such an outer blade and a method for producing an outer blade using etching are disclosed.

A hair cutting device having a cutting unit, the cutting unit including a blade carrier carrying a cutting blade that has cutting teeth; a guard blade that has guard teeth. The blade is movable along the blade carrier relative to the cutting blade within a guard length range between a first guard position corresponding to a shortest hair cutting length of the cutting unit and a second guard position corresponding to the longest hair cutting length of the cutting unit. The blade carrier includes a stop configured to prevent movement of the guard blade past the first guard position and outside of the guard length range, thereby preventing the cutting length from being below the shortest cutting length.

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 wherein said cutting elements each include two rows of cooperating cutting teeth which are different from each other in terms of shape and/or size and/or position of said overhanging tooth tips.

An electric-powered trimmer includes a cutting assembly having a stationary blade. A moveable blade is positioned on the stationary blade such that a cutting gap is defined between the moveable blade and the stationary blade. The moveable blade is configured to move along a first axis and a second axis extending orthogonal to the first axis. An adjustment mechanism is operable to move the moveable blade along the second axis relative to the stationary blade to selectively change the size of the cutting gap.

A personal care device has a main functional unit and an ancillary functional unit which is displaced between a non-operational position and an operational position using a biasing arrangement. A magnet arrangement is used to exert a magnetic holding on the ancillary functional unit in the operational position. This provides a stable support of the ancillary functional unit in the operational position without requiring a strong biasing arrangement.

A comb-shaped outer blade that scoops up body hair while suppressing the damage to the skin. The comb-shaped outer blade includes a base part that has a rod shape and extends in a first direction, a comb-blade attachment part that has a plate shape and extends in the first direction and a second direction, open blade parts each of which has a cantilever shape and protrudes from base part in a third direction, and bent blade parts arranged alternately with the open blade parts in the first direction, the bent blade parts connecting the base part to the attachment part. Each of the bent blade parts includes a protruding part that protrudes from the base part along the third direction, bent part that is connected to a distal end of the protruding part, and connecting part that connects bent part and comb-blade attachment part in an inclined state.

An electric razor reduces damage to the skin during shaving. The electric razor includes a head portion that holds a comb-shaped outer blade and mesh-shaped outer blades each of which extends in a first direction so as to be movable in a second direction intersecting the first direction, comb blade urging members that urge the comb-shaped outer blade in the second direction, mesh blade urging members that urge the mesh-shaped outer blades in the second direction, and an engaging mechanism that, when the mesh-shaped outer blades are moved toward a unit base against urging force of the mesh blade urging members, moves the comb-shaped outer blade in a state where the comb-shaped outer blade does not protrude from the mesh-shaped outer blades with respect to the unit base.
