Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007060646A1] The present invention relates to a dry shaver unit comprising a housing (77) and a cutter blade assembly (72) mounted in the housing, the cutter blade assembly comprising a cutter blade and cooperating shear blade arrangement. The invention relates at least both to electric dry shavers of the type having a reciprocating cutter and a shear blade arrangement in the form of a perforated foil with a plurality of perforations, and also to dry shavers of the type having a rotary cutter member or blade underlying an external shear member provided with apertures for entry of the hairs to be cut. The thickness of the shear blade (61) varies over its surface, such that the spacing between a portion (69) of the skin engaging surface (65) of the shear blade and the opposite face thereof is increased as compared with the spacing required to achieve a "close shave". The cutter blade assembly is mounted in the housing such that a plurality of portions of the shear blade having different thicknesses are simultaneously available for application to a surface to be shaved. The invention also relates to a cutter blade assembly (72) for a rotary shaver.
