An inclined guide surface 57d is formed between the left and right middle projections 57b and the upper projection 57a so as to gradually decrease the left-right opposing gap as going downward. Elastic engagement arms 55a
A spring 58 formed by a compression coil spring is interposed therebetween to reinforce the elastic engagement force of the elastic engagement arm 55a with the guide projection 57 and prevent creep of the elastic engagement arm 55a. In addition, the concave portion 59 formed on the lower end side of the operation case 43 and the convex portion 60 formed on the rear case 1b are engaged with each other, so that the left and right positioning when the shave unit 5 is slid up and down is reliably performed.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the guard body 45 is vertically slidable within a certain range between the shaving blade support base 42 and the operation case 43, and is provided with a pair of left and right springs 61. It is biased upward. The upper cover 46 located above the guard body 45 at the upper limit position covers and protects the upper part of the shaving blade 41 with only its cutting edge exposed, and
Comb teeth 62 are formed at the upper end of the guard body 45. A pair of left and right pins 63 protruding from the inner surface of the guard body 45 penetrates through the upper and lower slots 64 of the inner cover 44, and is engaged with a pair of left and right slots 65 formed in the rear case 1b. .

The electric razor of the present invention is configured as described above, and is used for "shaving" using only the main blade 4, "combination shaving" using the sharp shaving blade 41 and the main blade 4, And "shaving" using the shaving blade 41 can be selected and performed, and each usage pattern will be described below.

[Shaving] During normal shaving, as shown in FIG. 13, the shaving unit 5 is lowered to the lowest storage position. In this storage position, the outward projection 55b at the tip of the elastic engagement arm 55a of the positioning piece 55 is engaged with the lower side of the lower projection 57c of the guide projection 57 as shown in FIG. In this state, the drive pin 51a of the driver 51 protruding from the shaving unit 5 is disengaged downward from the longitudinal groove engaging portion 22a of the vibrator 22, and only the inner blade 2 is driven by the activation of the motor 10. That is, shaving using only the main blade 4 can be performed. At this time, the upper end of the shaving unit 5 is located far below the main blade 4 so that the upper end of the shaving unit 5 does not interfere with shaving. When the shaving unit 5 is lowered to the lowermost storage position, the pin 63 of the guard body 45 is located below the upper and lower holes 65 of the rear case 1b as shown in FIG. Since the 45 comb teeth 62 cannot move in the state of being close to the cutting edge of the sharp shaving blade 41, the cutting edge of the sharp shaving blade 41 can be guarded during carrying.

[Combination Shaving] For shaving under the chin or the like, "combination shaving" is performed. In this “combination shave”, as shown in FIG. 14, the shave unit 5 is pushed up to the combination shave position one step above the storage position. In this state, the drive pin 51a protruding from the shaving unit 5 engages with the longitudinal groove engaging portion 22a of the vibrator 22, and the inner blade 2 and the movable blade 41b of the shaving blade 41 are driven together by the activation of the motor 10. Will be done. In this case, when the shaving unit 5 is in the storage position, the pin 63 of the guard body 45 is located below the upper and lower holes 65 in the rear case 1b.
When the shaving unit 5 moves from the storage position to the combination shaving position, the guard body 45 moves upward integrally with the shaving unit 5.

In this combination shaving position, the shaving unit 5 is positioned as shown in FIG.
The elastic projection arm 55a of FIG. 5 has an outwardly projecting portion 55b elastically in contact with the inclined guide surface 57d between the middle projection 57b and the upper projection 57a of the guide projection 57, and the left and right inclined guide surfaces 57d. Since 57d is inclined so as to gradually decrease the facing distance as going downward, the entire shaving unit 5 is constantly pushed upward by the elastic contact action. Then, the shaving unit 5 moves the outward projection 55b at the tip of the elastic engagement arm 55a to the upper projection 5b.
At the position where the lower edge 7a engages, as shown in FIG. 14, an extension line P of a tangent passing through the vertex of the main blade 4 and the top 5a of the shaving unit 5 are set to be substantially flush with each other.
Therefore, between this position and the middle step projection 57b, the shaving unit 5 is moved within a predetermined stroke S (for example, 3 mm).
It floats up and down.

In this state, the main blade 4 and the shaving unit 5 are brought into contact with the skin while the upper end of the shaving unit 5 is in contact with the skin.
Is moved to the shaving unit 5 side, first, the comb teeth 62 provided on the upper end of the guard body 45 comb the long hairs and the curly hairs and guide them to the shaving blade 41, and then roughly cut by the shaving blade 41. The long hairs and curly hairs obtained are introduced into the long holes 33 of the outer blade 3 in the main blade 4 and cut by the inner blade 2, and thereafter,
It is introduced into the mesh-like hair introduction hole 32 and is shaved by the inner blade 2. Accordingly, three-stage cutting of cutting by the shaving blade 41, cutting by the inner blade 2 through the elongated hole 33 of the outer blade 3, and cutting by the inner blade 2 through the hair introduction hole 32 are continuously performed. Long hairs and curly hairs under the chin are cut off well. When shaving the combination, the comb portion 46a of the upper cover 46 has a function of combing and trimming long or curly hair to some extent.

In the "combination shaving" state, as described above, the outward projection 55b at the tip of the elastic engaging arm 55a of the positioning piece 55 is inclined between the middle projection 57b and the upper projection 57a of the guide projection 57. The entire shaving unit 5 can be elastically brought into contact with the guide surface 57d, and is constantly urged upward. Accordingly, as the shaving unit 5 is pressed downward by the contact pressure with the skin, the stroke S from the position where the shaving unit 5 makes the top 5a flush with the extension line P of the tangent passing through the vertex of the main blade 4. Within the range described above, it is possible to obtain a state in which the skin fits well. The spring property of the shaving unit 5 at the time of floating can be adjusted by variously selecting the spring force of the spring 58 between the elastic engagement arms 55a.

In the "combination shaving" position, when a pressing force is applied to the shaving unit 5 further below the floating area (the lower end position of the stroke S), the elastic engagement arm 55a is moved to the position shown in FIG. By sliding along the lower taper 57e from the top of the middle projection 57b as indicated by the symbol F, the entire shaving unit 5 is moved down, released from the combination shaving position and shifted to the storage position. Therefore, damage to the shaving unit 5 can be protected before it occurs. In this case, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6B, the pin 63 of the guard body 45 can be moved downward in the upper and lower holes 65 of the rear case 1b against the spring 61, so that the cutting edge of the sharp shaving blade 41 and the comb teeth of the guard body 45 are formed. Even if a large amount of hair such as hair is caught between the guard body 62 and the guard body 45, the guard body 45 can move down and is not caught, and the hair can be easily removed.

[Sharpening] When shaving the sideburns, as shown in FIG. 15, the shaving unit 5 is pushed up from the combination shaving position to the sharpening position one step higher. Then, the outward projection 55 at the tip of the elastic engagement arm 55a of the positioning piece 55 shown in FIG.
b engages with the upper side of the upper projection 57a of the guide projection 57.
In this state, the drive pin 51a protruding from the shaving unit 5 is engaged and maintained above the vertical groove engaging portion 22a of the vibrator 22, and the shaving blade 41
Is driven.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 16 (b), the pin 63 of the guard 45 at the position of the combination shaving has reached near the upper end of the elongated hole 65 in the rear case 1b. When the shave unit 5 is pushed up from the combination shave position to the shave position one step higher, the upward movement is stopped, as shown in FIG.
The guard body 45, which has been prevented from moving upward by the contact between the upper end of the elongated hole 65 and the pin 63, is left at that position, and moves downward relative to the shaving unit 5 against the spring 61. Go on. That is, the shaving blade 41 is largely separated from the main blade 4 and upward, and the comb teeth 6
2 is separated downward from the cutting edge of the sharp shaving blade 41, so that sharp shaving using the sharp shaving blade 41 can be easily performed without being obstructed by the main blade 4 and the guard body 45. In the above embodiment, a rotary electric shaver will be described.
It goes without saying that the present invention can be similarly applied to a reciprocating electric shaver or the like instead.

[0029]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, even when the combination shaving is used, the shaving unit 5 floats appropriately even when pressed against the skin with a strong pressing force. A combination shave that does not give a painful feeling can be realized.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the above-mentioned effects of the first aspect of the present invention are provided, and the razor shaving unit 5 serves as a basic position for combination shaving.
The floating area is set below the position substantially flush with the top tangent extension line P, so that the shaving unit 5 has an appropriate floating action even when receiving a pressing force from the skin with respect to the basic position. It is easy to adjust to the skin surface and can improve the shaving taste.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the shaving unit 5 floats against the pressing force from the skin, so that it is possible to prevent the sharpness of the blade edge from touching the skin and to prevent the damage of the shaving unit 5 itself. In particular, when the shave unit 5 receives a pressing force exceeding the floating area, the entire shave unit 5 is instantaneously moved down to release from the combination shaving position. The unit 5 can be prevented from being damaged.
