Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is an electric shaver in which a separate hair shavings tray is removably attached to the inner blade storage chamber formed in the upper part of the main body case, and the shavings tray is improved. It is.

In this type of electric shaver, one has been proposed in which a bottomed cylindrical hair dust tray is removably mounted in the inner blade housing chamber to facilitate removal of hair dust after shaving. However, since the conventional lint tray is a hard plastic molded product and is formed in the shape of a deep dish, it is troublesome to clean the inside of the tray with a brush or water after removing the lint tray. In addition, hair debris and sebum strongly adhered to the corners of the bottom wall and peripheral side wall of the saucer cannot be easily removed, and corrosion progresses over time, resulting in a foul odor and other hygienic problems. .

Focusing on this fact, this invention consists of a hair debris receptacle made of a flexible material such as rubber, and when removing hair and sebum accumulated in the receptacle, the receptacle is turned over and placed inside. The purpose of this is to enable easy and complete removal of hair and sebum strongly adhered to the bottom corners and the like.

The details will be explained below based on the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate an electric shaver according to this invention, in which a main body case 1 has a partition wall 2 above the partition wall 2, an inner cutter housing chamber 3 is provided above the partition wall 2, and a partition wall A shaft 6 of the motor 4 projects into the inner cutter housing chamber 3 through a through hole 7 in the partition wall 2 . An inner cutter holder 9 that supports a rotary inner cutter 8 and a hair waste tray 10 are removably installed in the inner cutter storage chamber 3. A boss 11 protruding from the lower surface of the inner blade holder 9 is connected to the motor shaft 6 in a removable manner. An outer cutter holder 19 that holds the outer cutter 18 is removably attached to the upper part of the inner cutter storage chamber 3 by screwing.
The inner cutter 8 comes into sliding contact with the inner surface.

The lint tray 10 is integrally molded from a flexible material such as relatively soft rubber, and includes a bottom wall 14 having a number of hook-shaped protrusions 13 protruding from each other and a horizontal protrusion 12; A peripheral side wall 15 provided,
It consists of a boss 16 projecting upward at the center of the bottom wall 14, and can be turned over so that the inner surfaces of the peripheral side wall 15 and the bottom wall 14 each face outward. This lint tray 10 is installed in the inner blade storage chamber 3 prior to installing the inner blade holder 9, and when it is installed, the hole 17 of the boss 16 is fitted to the outer periphery of the motor shaft 6, and the 14 is placed on the upper surface of the partition wall 2. This brings the peripheral side wall 15 into substantially close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the inner cutter housing chamber 3.

In such cases, hair debris a generated when shaving,
Riding on the air flow generated by the rotation of the inner cutter holder 9, it scatters radially outward in the inner cutter storage chamber 3, hits the circumferential wall 15 of the lint receiving tray 10, and falls, and then the bottom wall 1
4. At this time, the lint a is prevented from being blown up by the air flow by the horizontal protrusion 12 of the protrusion 13, and is prevented from adhering to the outer peripheral surface of the boss 11 of the inner blade holder 9 and the through hole 7 of the partition wall 2 by the boss 16.・Intrusion is also prevented.

To remove the hair debris a accumulated in the hair debris tray 10, remove the outer blade holder 19 from the main body case 1, remove the inner blade holder 9 from the motor shaft 6, and then remove the hair debris a from the hair debris tray 1.
0 from the main body case 1, turn the tray 10 over as shown in FIG. 3, and discard the hair waste a. Now, the corner portion 20 of the peripheral side wall 15 and bottom wall 14 of the hair waste tray 10 and the corner portion 21 of the bottom wall 14 and boss 16 are projected outward.
This means that the hair and sebum that strongly adhere to the 0, 21 can be easily removed by brushing or washing with water.

In each of the above embodiments, the invention is applied to an electric shaver with a rotating inner blade, but it is also possible to apply the invention to an electric shaver with a vibrating inner blade.
Further, the boss 16 of the hair waste tray 10 may also be made reversible.

As explained above, according to this invention, the hair receptacle 10 is made of a flexible material and can be turned over. Therefore, the hair debris a can be easily removed from the tray 10 by a simple operation of turning the tray 10 over. In particular, the bottom wall 1 of the saucer 10
Hair and sebum stuck to the corner portion 20 between the hair receiving tray 10 and the peripheral wall 15 can be completely removed, which is extremely advantageous in cleaning the hair receiving tray 10 and maintaining hygiene.
