Title:
往復式電気かみそり
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4576919
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A reciprocatory dry shaver capable of driving an inner cutter (62) smoothly along an arcuately curved outer cutter (61) for efficient shaving. The dry shaver includes a shaving head (40) carrying an outer cutter which is arcuately curved along its length, and an inner cutter driven to reciprocate along the length of the outer cutter. An actuator (100) is mounted in the shaving head for driving the inner cutter. The actuator includes an oscillator (130) which reciprocates in the lengthwise direction of the outer cutter and carries a joint (102) for driving connection to the inner cutter. Also included in the actuator is a resilient coupling link (140) which supports the oscillator to the shaving head in order to allow the oscillator to reciprocate relative to the shaving head. The resilient coupling link has its one end coupled to the oscillator and the other end anchored to the shaving head at a portion away from the inner cutter than the oscillator. Thus, the oscillator is supported as being floated or lifted with respect to the shaving head, thereby being allowed to travel along a path which is somewhat arcuate in coincidence with the arc of the outer cutter. Accordingly, the oscillator, i.e., the inner cutter carried thereon can be guided smoothly along the arc of the outer cutter, assuring smooth and efficient shaving.
