Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a shaving apparatus comprising a shear plate with hair-entry apertures and a cutting unit which is rotatable about an axis of rotation, which cutting unit comprises a cutting member and a hair-pulling member. The cutting member comprises a central body provided with cutter arms on its circumference, the ends of each cutter arm carrying a cutter. For each cutter an associated hair-pulling blade is provided, the hair-pulling blades, together with hair-pulling-blade arms and a central portion, constituting the hair-pulling member. In order to protect the hair-pulling blades and hair-pulling-blade arms, the cutting unit is constructed so that the axial portion of each cutter arm is situated radially opposite and at a greater radial distance from the axial portion of the associated hair-pulling-blade arm.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A shaving apparatus comprising a shear plate with hair-entry apertures and a cutting unit comprising a plurality of combinations each comprising a cutter and a hair-pulling blade, which unit is rotatable about an axis of rotation and comprises a cutting member which comprises a central body carrying cutter arms on its periphery, at least a part of each cutter arm extending in a substantially axial direction and carrying a cutter on the end of each cutter arm, each hair-pulling blade being arranged on the end of a hair-pulling-blade arm and at least a part of each hair-pulling-blade arm extending in a substantially axial direction, characterized in that the axially directed part of each cutter arm is arranged radially opposite the associated axially directed part of the hair-pulling-blade arm and is situated at a greater radial distance from the axis of rotation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A shaving apparatus comprising a shear plate with hair-entry apertures and a cutting unit comprising a plurality of combinations each comprising a cutter and a hair-pulling blade, which unit is rotatable about an axis of rotation and comprises a cutting member which comprises a central body carrying cutter arms on its periphery, at least a part of each cutter arm extending in a substantially axial direction and carrying a cutter on the end of each cutter arm, each hair-pulling blade being arranged on the end of a hair-pulling-blade arm and at least a part of each hair-pulling-blade arm extending in a substantially axial direction, characterized in that the axially directed part of each cutter arm is arranged radially opposite the associated axially directed part of the hair-pulling-blade arm and is situated at a greater radial distance from the axis of rotation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A shaving apparatus as claimed in Claim 1, characterized in that the axially directed part of a cutter arm constitutes a stop which limits the radial deflection of the associated axially directed part of the hair-pulling-blade arm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
A shaving apparatus as claimed in Claim 1 or 2, in which the hair-pulling blades, the hair-pulling-blade arms and a central portion to which the hair-pulling-blade arms are secured form a separate hair-pulling member, characterized in that the central portion of the hair-pulling member is- situated at that side of the central body of the cutting member which faces the shear plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A shaving apparatus as claimed in Claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that a part of the cutting member also constitutes a stop which limits the axial deflection of a hair-pulling-blade arm.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
A shaving apparatus as claimed in any of the preceding Claims, characterized in that the cutting unit also comprises a member with an annular rim which is situated adjacent the hair-pulling blade arms and constitutes a stop which limits the radial deflection of said arms.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
A shaving apparatus as claimed in Claim 5, characterized in that the annular rim also constitutes a stop which limits the axial deflection of the hair-pulling-blade arms.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
A shaving apparatus as claimed in Claim 5 or 6, characterized in that the member with the annular rim also forms a coupling member for interconnecting the parts of the cutting unit.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
A cutting unit of the shaving apparatus as claimed in any one of the preceding Claims.
