Abstract:
1. An electric shaver comprising: a handle assembly comprising a yoke; a head assembly pivotably connected to the yoke at a pivot axis, wherein the head assembly is pivotable in a lateral direction about the pivot axis between a first orientation and a second orientation; and a biasing element fixed to one of the head assembly and the handle assembly and free from being fixed to the other of the head assembly and the handle assembly, the biasing element having a distal end that is laterally displaceable relative to the other of the head assembly and the handle assembly such that when the head assembly is pivoted from the first orientation into the second orientation the biasing element contacts a surface of the other of the head assembly and the handle assembly and bends to apply a counteracting force that biases the head assembly back toward the first orientation when the head assembly is not held in the second orientation.
