Abstract
Abstract There is provided an apparatus such as a dry shaver comprising a housing formed by two opposing housing shells. An electric motor is mounted on at least one support extending from one housing shell. Adjacent the support a resilient hook is formed integrally with, and projects from, such one housing shell in order to secure the motor to the shell, the resilient hook engaging an edge portion of the motor and urging the motor against the support. A projection extends inwardly from the other housing shell to engage the resilient hook and thereby constitute a stop for it and position the hook relative to the motor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
An apparatus such as a dry shaver, which comprises a housing assembly forced by two opposing housing shells; an electric motor within the housing assembly; at least one support member formed integrally with and extending inwardly from only one housing shell; an elastic pad associated with the inwardly projecting end of said support member; a resilient hook member adjacent said one support member, said resilient hook member being formed integrally with said one housing shell and projecting inwardly from only said one housing shell; a hook portion at the free end of said resilient hook member, said hook portion engaging an edge portion of the motor and urging said motor against the elastic pad and its associated support member to hold the motor only against said one housing shell; and a projection extending inwardly from only the other housing shell, said projection engaging the free end of the resilient hook member and constituting a stop for the same to thereby position the resilient hook member relative to the motor.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
169 words
An apparatus such as a dry shaver, which comprises a housing assembly forced by two opposing housing shells; an electric motor within the housing assembly; at least one support member formed integrally with and extending inwardly from only one housing shell; an elastic pad associated with the inwardly projecting end of said support member; a resilient hook member adjacent said one support member, said resilient hook member being formed integrally with said one housing shell and projecting inwardly from only said one housing shell; a hook portion at the free end of said resilient hook member, said hook portion engaging an edge portion of the motor and urging said motor against the elastic pad and its associated support member to hold the motor only against said one housing shell; and a projection extending inwardly from only the other housing shell, said projection engaging the free end of the resilient hook member and constituting a stop for the same to thereby position the resilient hook member relative to the motor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
