[0022] Among those benefits and improvements that have been disclosed, other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments of the present invention and illustrate various objects and features thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention is disclosed herein, however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention that may be embodied in various forms. The figures are not necessarily to scale, some features may be exaggerated to show details of particular components. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention.

[0024] FIG. 1 illustrates the shaving apparatus 1 having a first removable external structure 5, a second external removable structure 6, an on/off switch 10, a protrusion 11 on the second removable external component 6, and a mirror 16. The protrusion 11 helps prevent the shaving apparatus from moving and/or rolling off of flat surfaces. The mirror 16 is located on the top of the second external component 6. The mirror 16 can be located on alternative areas of the shaving apparatus. The power switch 10 has an on and off position, it is designed in such away that if it is in the on position and the second external component 6 is placed onto the shaing apparatus 1 the power switch 10 is moved to the position.

[0025] FIG. 2 illustrates the shaving apparatus 1 having a removable attachment 3, a first removable external structure 5, a light 9, an on/off switch 10. FIG. 2 further shows that the light 9 is located just below the conical tip of removable attachment. The light 9 provides 360 degrees of light around the conical tip providing for optimal lighting of a surface being shaved.

[0026] FIG. 3 illustrates the central component 2 of the shaving apparatus 1, having a removable attachment 3, a cavity 4, a second removable external structure 6, a power source 8 and an on/off switch 10. FIG. 3 further shows the cavity 4 exposed by having the first external structure 5 removed from the shaving apparatus 1. The first external structure 5 and the second external may be removable from the shaving apparatus 1. The first external structure 5 can be permanently connected to said shaving apparatus 1 thereby containing the contents of cavity 4.

[0027] FIG. 4 shows the blade 17 of the shaving head 3. The blade 17 is capable of cutting from the sides and from the top of the shaving head.

[0028] FIG. 5 shows the attachment (shaving head) 3 having a light 9, conical sides 18 a flat top 19, elongated slits 20 that run from at least a portion of the conical sides 18 to the at least a portion of the flat top 19, and circular openings 21 on the flat surface. The blade 17 is designed so that is can cut hairs that enter either the sides or top of the shaving head 3.

[0029] FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 show that the blade 17 has a shape that mirror or compliment the conical side 18 and flat top 19 of the shaving head 3. The complimentary shape of the blade 17 to the shaving head 3 is what allows for hair to be cut when they enter from the circular opening 21 on the top flat surface of the shaving head 3 and the elongated slits 21 from the sides.

[0030] FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 illustrate the shaving apparatus 1 having a central component 2, a removable attachment 3, a cavity 4 of the central component 2, a first removable external structure 5, a second external removable structure 6, a motor 7, a power source 8, an on/off switch 10, a storage compartment 12 of the central component 2, a storage compartment 13 of first removable external structure 5, and a storage compartment 14 of second removable external structure 6. The cavity of the central component 2 receives a power source 7. The second removable structure 6 houses the motor 7. The on/off switch 10 is located on the exterior surface of the first removable structure 5.

[0031] The power source 8 sends power to the motor 7 which creates rotary power. The rotary power of the motor causes the removable attachment 3 (having head 3) to rotate in operation allowing for a cutting action. The on/off switch 10 allows to power source 8 to deliver power to the motor 7 to make the shaving apparatus 1 in an operating mode and to stop power from being sent to the motor 8 in an off mode.

[0032] Numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the attendant claims attached hereto, this invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically disclosed herein.
