Abstract:
1. A shaver comprising a housing and a shaver head that is attached to the housing, said shaver head comprising: a bracket holding a plurality of rotary cutter units at a top side of the bracket, wherein each of the rotary cutter units includes a cutter member that is rotatable around a respective rotation axis, and the bracket includes a central axis that extends through a center of the bracket and is substantially parallel to the rotation axes; a carrier plate; a biasing means that is a continuous band surrounding an area between the carrier plate and the bracket, the biasing means being attached to the carrier plate along a lower edge of the biasing means and being further attached to the bracket along an upper edge of the biasing means; and a first hinge disposed on a lateral side of the bracket, wherein the lateral side extends away from the top side in a direction towards the carrier plate, wherein the first hinge attaches the bracket to the carrier plate about a pivot axis such that the bracket and the carrier plate are pivotable relative to one another about only the pivot axis, and wherein the pivot axis extends substantially perpendicular to the rotation axes of the cutter members of the rotary cutter units, the pivot axis being laterally offset such that it extends between two of the rotation axes while avoiding passage through the central axis of the bracket.
