Electric apparatus and a shaving apparatus

摘要

An electric apparatus comprises a housing (2) and a trimmer (3) for cutting hair. The trimmer (3) is carried by a trimmer supporting element (5) which is movable between a stored position and an operational position. In the operational position the trimmer (3) is spaced from the housing (2). The trimmer supporting element (5) is rotatably connected to the housing (2) through a supporting element hinge (8), which is movable with respect to the housing (2) via a guide (9) in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the supporting element hinge (8). The apparatus further comprises a displacement member (11) for defining the displacement of the trimmer supporting element (5) between the stored position and the operational position.

1. An electric apparatus comprising:
a housing; a trimmer for cutting hair, the trimmer being carried by a trimmer end of a trimmer supporting element and the trimmer extending from the trimmer end of the trimmer supporting element along a longitudinal axis of the trimmer supporting element such that a width of the trimmer is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the trimmer supporting element is movable between a stored position and an operational position, wherein in the operational position the trimmer is spaced from the housing, wherein a hinged end of the trimmer supporting element is opposite the trimmer end along the longitudinal axis and is directly rotatably connected to the housing through a supporting element hinge, and wherein the hinged end of the supporting element hinge is movable with respect to the housing in a guide in a direction perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the supporting element hinge for tilting the trimmer supporting element away from the housing by an angle formed between the housing and the hinged end; and a displacement member for defining the displacement of the trimmer supporting element between the stored position and the operational position, wherein the displacement member is rotatably connected to the housing at a first displacement member hinge and to the trimmer supporting element at a second displacement member hinge spaced from the supporting element hinge, the first displacement member hinge and the second displacement member hinge comprising first and second axes of rotation, respectively, which are substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the supporting element hinge, and wherein the hinged end of the trimmer supporting element is located further away from the trimmer than the trimmer end of the trimmer supporting element and wherein the displacement member and the trimmer supporting element are positioned and shaped such that the axes of rotation of the first displacement member hinge, the second displacement member hinge and the supporting element hinge substantially extend within a plane when the trimmer supporting element is in the operational position, and the displacement member and the trimmer supporting element are aligned.
