ELECTRICALLY OPERATED SHAVING APPARATUS

摘要

The invention relates to an electrically operated shaving apparatus (1) having at least one cutting device that can move in or out in a first guide path (19) by means of a sliding switch (9) on a shaver casing (2). The cutting device consists of a blade casing (18) and a long hair cutter (20) on the blade casing (18) that is fed into a second guide path (20) which can be driven by a drive mechanism. Between the shaver casing (2) and the long hair cutter (10) is situated a transmission mechanism (21) that enlarges the displacement path (b) of the long hair cutter (10). According to the invention, the transmission mechanism (21) consists on the one hand of a fixed stop (31) attached to the shaver casing (2) and, on the other hand, to a sliding element (24) that can be slid crosswise to the displacement path (d) of the long hair cutter (10) into a third guide path (22). The sliding element operates in connection with the stop (31) by means of a ramp (26) attached to the sliding element (24) and tilted at an angle alpha vis-a-vis the sliding direction. The sliding element (24) is connected by means of a deflection device (25) to the casing part (17) of the long hair cutter (10). The invention provides for the creation of a transmission mechanism (21) that is very easy to manufacture and has very few components that enables the long hair cutter (10) to be lifted out quickly with little movement on the sliding switch (9).
