ABSTRACT:
An electric shaver has a shaving head and a trimmer handle mounting at its top a trimmer block. The trimmer handle is in the form of a flat plate slidably attached to a flat surface on the outer wall of a shaver housing for vertical movement between an inoperative position and an operative position. Formed in the inner surface of the flat plate trimmer handle is a shallow recess within which is located a trimmer drive interconnecting the trimmer block and a main drive element for the shaving head in order to drive the trimmer block from the same source as the shaving head. The trimmer block includes a stationary blade and a movable blade which define therebetween a cutting plane in parallel relation to the plane of the trimmer handle. This arrangement is to reduce the dimension of the trimmer block and the thickness of the trimmer handle. This enables the trimmer drive to be received within the thickness of the shallow recess, to greatly reduce the total thickness of the trimmer handle including the trimmer block, and therefore adding only limited thickness to the entire shaver assembly. Thus, the shaver with the trimmer handle can be made in flat configuration that is easy to handle and transport as well as to provide an aesthetic appeal by its reduced thickness.
