Claim:
1. A pivoting arrangement for a shaving device or grooving device having a contour following function, comprising: a pivoting member, adapted to follow a contour following element, the pivoting member comprising a first and a second axle stub arranged at and exclusively mounted to respective first and second distal ends of the pivoting member, the pivoting member and the first and second axle stubs defining a first longitudinal axis (A a singular inner supporting member, the singular inner supporting member including a pair of end panels and a pair of side panels, the end and side panels being interconnected at peripheral portions thereof so as to define a cavity for partially receiving the pivoting member, the inner supporting member further including a first and a second recessed portion for receiving the respective first and second axle stubs of the pivoting member, so as to be pivotable about the first axis, (A an outer supporting member supporting said inner supporting member so as to be pivotable about a second axis, perpendicular to said first axis and in the same plane, a spring loading arrangement comprising at least one deformable leaf spring fixedly connected to an underside of the inner supporting member by a first clamp at a first point of connection and by a second clamp at a second point of connection, thereby preloading the at least one deformable leaf spring against the inner supporting member, said leaf spring comprising an oval shaped metal element fixed to the outer supporting member by a metal plate, whereby outer ends of the metal plate are formed to grip respective ends of the leaf spring thereby acting as abutments that pretension the leaf spring, the underside of the inner supporting element being arranged to rest on the oval leaf spring at points of action on either end of the leaf spring, the leaf spring oriented in a substantially horizontal plane, said spring loading arrangement being arranged to be located immediately adjacent to an upper surface of the outer supporting member, said spring loading arrangement being arranged to interact with the outer supporting member in a first point of action to exert a force acting to move the pivoting member in a first pivoting direction, and in a second point of action to exert a force acting to move the pivoting member in a second pivoting direction, said spring loading arrangement located and arranged to exert a simultaneous force on both said inner supporting member and said outer supporting member, said spring loading arrangement arranged to bias said pivoting member in a resting position, wherein said spring loading arrangement has a limited active range, so that, when the pivoting member is not in said resting position in said first pivoting direction, said spring loading arrangement is prevented from interacting with said outer supporting member in said first point of action, and when the pivoting member is brought out of said resting position in said second pivoting direction, said spring loading arrangement is prevented from interacting with said outer supporting member in said second point of action, and a torsion spring arranged around one of the first or second axle stubs of the pivoting member, said torsion spring being preloaded in one rotational directional about a first and second abutment provided on a respective first and second side of an inner wall of said pivoting member, said first and second abutments being arranged to cooperate with the torsion spring when said pivoting member is rotated.
