Car shaver and holder therefor

Claim 2

An electric shaver comprising a cutting portion formed on one end of a body of said electric shaver, a motor disposed in said body of said shaver, a hood slidably secured around the body of said shaver for alternately protecting and exposing the cutting portion of said shaver, a spring means which depresses said slidable hood into a first position of protecting the cutting portion from ambience, a lock mechanism for locking said slidable hood in a second position, thereby exposing the cutting portion to ambience, a switching means comprising a normal open switch which controls the power supply to said motor, said switch comprising a pair of conductive leaves which are separated from each other when said hood is in said first position and are in contact when said hood is in said second position, and an actuator which forms a protrusion on one end of said slidable hood and engages and depresses one of said pair of conductive leaves toward the other of said pair of conductive leaves so as to automatically supply power to said motor when said hood is placed and held in said second position.

Claim 3

The electric shaver of claim 1, wherein said slidable hood includes a hooked portion formed on said one end of said slidable hood, and wherein said hooked portion is secured by said lock mechanism when said slidable hood is located at said second position.

Claim 4

The electric shaver of claim 1, which further comprises a lock release button for releasing said slidable hood from said lock mechanism at a desired time.

Claim 5

An electric shaver comprising a cutting portion formed on one end of a body of said electric shaver, a motor disposed in said body of said shaver, a hood slidably secured around the body of said shaver for alternately protecting and exposing the cutting portion of said shaver, a spring means which depresses said slidable hood into a first position of protecting the cutting portion from ambience, a lock mechanism for locking said slidable hood in a second position, thereby exposing the cutting portion to ambience, a switching means comprising a normal open switch which controls the power supply to said motor, said switch comprising a pair of conductive leaves which are separated from each other when said hood is in said first position and are in contact when said hood is in said second position, an actuator which forms a protrusion on one end of said slidable hood and engages and depresses one of said pair of conductive leaves toward the other of said pair of conductive leaves so as to automatically supply power to said motor when said hood is placed and held in said second position and a holder for accommodating the electric shaver comprising in combination a housing for accommodating said shaver, said housing comprising a stationary member and a movable member rotatably secured to said stationary member, a means provided within said movable member which when set in a first position tightly secures said electric shaver within said housing and when set in a second position readily facilitates the withdrawal of said electric shaver from said housing, a lever for rotating said movable member from said first position to said second position, a means for fixing said holder to a desired member such as the dashboard of a car, and a holding means in the form of a hole formed in said holder having a similar configuration to that of an automobile cigarette-lighter socket for accommodating a plug when said shaver is not in use which plug electrically communicates, via a flexible end, the necessary energy to said shaver when the latter is in operation.

Claim 6

An electric shaver comprising a cutting portion formed on one end of a body of said electric shaver, a motor disposed in said body of said shaver, a hood slidably secured around the body of said shaver for alternately protecting and exposing the cutting portion of said shaver, a spring means which depresses said slidable hood into a first position of protecting the cutting portion from ambience, a lock mechanism for locking said slidable hood in a second position, thereby exposing the cutting portion to ambience, a switching means comprising a normal open switch which controls the power supply to said motor, said switch comprising a pair of conductive leaves which are separated from each other when said hood is in said first position and are in contact when said hood is in said second position, an actuator which forms a protrusion on one end of said slidable hood and engages and depresses one of said pair of conductive leaves toward the other of said pair of conductive leaves so as to automatically supply power to said motor when said hood is placed and held in said second position and a holder for accommodating the electric shaver comprising in combination a housing for accommodating said shaver, said housing comprising a stationary member and a movable member rotatably secured to said stationary member, a means provided within said movable member which when set in a first position tightly secures said electric shaver within said housing and when set in a second position readily facilitates the withdrawal of said electric shaver from said housing, a lever for rotating said movable member from said first position to said second position, a means for fixing said holder to a desired member such as the dashboard of a car, and a holding means in the form of a hole formed in said holder having a similar configuration to that of an automobile cigarette-lighter socket for accommodating a plug when said shaver is not in use which plug electrically communicates, via a flexible end, the necessary energy to said shaver when the latter is in operation.

Claim 7

The holder of claim 4, wherein said holder further comprises an angle setting means for determining the angle of said fixing means with respect to said holder.
