Definitions

  • Th present invention relates to dry shaving apparatus.
  • the headpiece is provided with a large and straight series of cutting teeth arranged parallelly, perpendicularly or diagonally relative to the linear disposition of said series, said teeth being of plane, curved, or oblique shape, and connected in fixed position to the handle of the razor.
  • teeth are arranged in such a way, that when the cutting head is guided transversely over the face, the teeth follow aline which is parallel to the direction given the razor, whereby the hairs are engaged by the teeth in a direction contrary to their growth, that is, against the grain, and thus penetrate into the grooves or furrows formed between the teeth to be cut on two sides parallel to the direction of travel of the razor where the fixed exterior teeth meet the interior knives, which are likewise arranged in a straight line and operate with an alternating movement.
  • This method of cutting has so far been the best, but it is not sufiiciently rapid and does not adapt itself well for shaving certain parts of the face and neck, viz., below the chin.

  • Th interior knives have a cutting length of about two millimeters, which results in a total cutting length of millimeters per motor revolution.
  • this construction permits, for each motor revolution, assuming a length of 40 millimeters for the fixed cutting blade, 2. cutting length of 320 millimeters.
  • this cutting method is unsatisfactory.
  • the shaving apparatus of cylindrical shape according to the present invention, it is possible to attain the following result: At least 30 teeth can be applied to the face.
  • each row or series of exterior teeth can cut thehairs 30 times at each motor revolution, which gives a cutting length of 60 millimeters for each interior knife; It is possible that 18 interior knives, at least, per row of exterior teeth, can come in contact with the 30 exterior teeth at each motor revolution. This represents: 60 millimeters multiplied by 16:960 millimeters of cutting length.

  • the new shaving apparatus forming the subject matter of the present invention consists, principally in mounting the cutting elements in an external annular member having at least one ring provided with a series of cutting teeth of slight thickness and which extend over the entire length of said ring or parts thereof; in providing cutting teeth, which between each other form grooves for the hairs to enter, transversely, relative to the cylindrical wall of the ring and toward the interior of the head-piece; it also consists in rotating the interior knives parallel to the inner cylindrical surface of the ring, that is, in contact with the interior edges of the exterior teeth.
  • the invention consists also in other features, which preferably are madeuse of at the same time, but which may also be utilized separately, as indicated hereafter, amongst which the following characteristic features are important.
  • a second feature relates to the shape of the curved partof the cylindrical surface of the circle which is applied to the part to be shaved, inasmuch as it is impossible to apply the entire circumference of cylindrical surface to the flesh at the same point of application.
  • all shaving apparatus having exterior series of teeth have had a fiat active surface, that is, said series extend in a straight line, which is annoying and inconvenient for the purpose of applying them to those parts of the face to be shaved which are not flat, which, obviously, are the more numerous.
  • This second feature consists in giving to the diameter of the ring such a value that any part or are of the annular or cylindrical surface can be applied to the skin, at least with as great a number of cutting teeth of equal width as the useful cutting teeth of other shaving apparatus which have rectilinearly straight or curved active surfaces, when seen in elevation in a rectangle of corresponding dimensions.
  • the teeth do not follow a straight line, but instead follow a curved line, and as a result all teeth can adapt themselves better to the face, without inconveniencing the person using it, so that it adjusts itself to the hollows formed by the bones of the face and of the neck when the apparatus is applied against the skin.
  • the secant line formed by the two extreme points of the cylindrical part which can be applied to the skin be not too distant in its center from said cylindrical part, so that all teeth between those two points may insure the cutting of the hairs.
  • the exterior teeth follow lines parallel with the direction given to the shaver, so that the hairs are cut when the outer teeth come in contact. with the inner knives, in accordance with two tangent sides andparallel to the direction given to the shaver.
  • a third feature consists in providing at least one series of cutting teeth on the cylindrical surface, which series may extend over said surface or may be separated by intermediate spaces which can serve to reinforce the rings. Said series may be arranged parallel relative to each other and located in one plane or in different planes.
  • a fourth feature consists in providing various series of teeth, four for instance, with different teeth and grooves on the cylindrical surface, so as to provide sections of different cut, in order to enable the person using the apparatus to select that section of cutting teeth which he finds most suitable to the nature of the different parts of his beard.
  • a fifth feature consists in providing the outer teeth of each row in such a way as to be curved exteriorly and interiorly, perpendicular lengthwise or in an exterior plane, that is, in width they have the shape of an arc of little thickness and only in the cutting length.
  • a sixth feature consists in reinforcing the exterior teeth in their center and toward the interior of the head-piece, so that it is possible to make the teeth extremely fine and that the entire length of reinforced teeth can cut in spite of the presence of the reinforcement. If the teeth are not reinforced, but instead rest on a.

  • he eighth feature consists in forming the interior cutting teeth in such a way as to comprise at least two sets of teeth, each having at least two rigid knives which adapt themselves to the exterior cutting teeth.
  • Driving arms connected to the motor axle impart to said sets of teeth a continuous or alternating rotating movement, and springs are placed between said sets of knives and teeth, so that the knives can apply themselves better against the interior faces of the exterior teeth.
  • a ninth feature consists in providing, according to another modification, interior knives in such a manner as to comprise at least one rigid blade or assembled blades, one of Whose ends is provided at least with one knife adapting itself to the exterior cutting teeth,'these blades being arranged in such a way that they can turn with a rotary or alternating movement, with springs or without them by centrifugal force, so that the interior knives adapt themselves to the faces and cutting edges of the exterior teeth.
  • a tenth feature consists in providing a ring mounted on the motorshaft by'means of two washers, said ring being provided with grooves to enable the interior knives to be inserted into the interior of the exterior cutting ring or rings, the supporting blades being caused to slide from the knives through the grooves of the ring and toward the interior of the ring or rings, said ring and washers serving the purpose of connecting the blades as well as knives to the motor axle.
  • the eleventh feature consists in providing the outer ring or rings with lateral supports for sup porting theseries of exterior teeth, said supports being, preferably, made integral with the plate which serves to constitute said rings; it also con-, sists in reinforcing the exterior support by giving it a conical shape toward the axis of the rings and providing in its center an opening permitting of connecting the set of interior knives to the motor axle, also enabling the cut hairs to come out of the interior of the cutting head without necessity of dismounting the latter. It also consists in providingthat the interior support can be readily adapted to the handle of the shaver or in providing, advantageously, the
  • a twelfth feature consists in providing a plug or plate fitted to the, central opening of the exterior support, for the purpose of preventing the hairs from falling 'out of the cutting headpiece while the shaving apparatus is in use.
