     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     Now referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 the embodiment is a &#34;T&#34; shaped assembly of an electric razor, wherein grip 1, made of plastics, is a hollow cylinder, the top of the grip 1 is slantedly cut from right side to left side so as to form an upper opening 1a. A rectangular hole 1b is disposed under the front side of the upper opening la so that a plastic button 2 can be slidingly set in it. The upper opening la of the grip 1 is half joined with a unit of forward-extending necks having a front neck 3 and a back neck 4. The unit is an injection-molded hollow shell which has a &#34;T&#34; shaped upper portion and a cylinderic lower portion. After the front neck 3 and the back neck 4 are half joined with each other, they are also radially rotated to secure on the upper opening 1a of the grip 1. A rotating plastic blade lid 5, set in the forward-extending neck, can be secured to the top of the front neck 3 or uncovered from it by means of an outward-extending pinch plate 6a of a blade fixing piece 6 under the lid 5. The end 1c of the grip 1 is locked by a plastic battery lid 7 shaped like a bowl so as to form the basic exterior shape of the invention. 
     Now referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, there is shown the sectional view of the assembly concerning its detailed interior structure. A small motor 8 is set in a space in front of an inner socket 9 which is actually a cylinder comprised of a pair of symmetric hollow semicircular shells 9e, 9f. A dividing plate 9a is disposed at the middle of the inner socket 9 so as to divide its interior into the front chamber 9b and the back chamber 9c. The small motor 8 is disposed in the front chamber 9b. A conductive metal piece 10 is disposed on the right side of the front chamber 9b so that an electric pole on the small motor 8 can connect with the positive pole of the battery 11 disposed below the dividing plate 9a. The sectional plane of a spring piece 10 is shaped like two bent &#34;L&#34; connected together, and an arc piece 10a of contact point is disposed on the left side of its each ends so as to keep a close contact between the spring piece 10 and the battery 11. As such, the battery 11 is pushed into the back chamber 9c of the inner socket 9. And, in order to transfer the negative pole of the end of the battery 11 to the small motor 8, a metal plate 12 is disposed on the bottom of the battery cover 7, and a plurality of hooks 12a are disposed on the tray 12 so as to receive a taper spring 13 on it and to maintain a close contact between the spring 13 and battery 11. Opposite to the spring piece 10, there disposed a longitudinal connecting spring piece 14 made of conductive metal. At the end of the spring piece 14, there disposed a &#34;U&#34; shaped bending end. Near the bending end, there is disposed a section of corrugated spring piece 14a so that spring piece 14 can surely press on the metal tray 12. The front section of the spring piece 14 tends to bend like an &#34;L&#34; to form an acute angle so that its front end can have an elastic pressing force to press the negative load end of the outer shell of the small motor 8. Therefore, the front end of the connecting spring piece 14 is bent inward to form a &#34;V&#34; shaped end so as to press on or be pushed away from the outer shell of the small motor 8. 
     To control the operation of the small motor 8, at the front end of the connecting spring piece 14, there is disposed a rectangular plastic slide 15. At the end of the slide 15, there is disposed a horn 15a to provide a space for the connecting spring piece 14 to contact with the negative pole on the outer shell of the small motor 8. If the slide 15 is moved, the spring piece 14 will be pushed away and the power source of the small motor will be cut off. A rectangular hole 15b is disposed in front of the slide 15 so as to connect with an outer button 2. Made of plastic, the oval button 2 has a pair of hooks 2a in it. The hooks 2a can set into the rectangular hole 15b of the slide 15. 
     A water-proof cylindric rubber socket 17 is disposed on the outer surface of the front chamber 9a of the inner shell 9. And, at the end 1c of the grip 1, there is disposed an outer thread, and on the top of the thread there is disposed a water-proof rubber collar 16 so as to prevent water-leakage when the plastic battery lid 7, by means of its inner thread 7a, is closely locked onto the outer thread of the end 1c of the grip 1. At the top of the water-proof rubber 17, there is disposed two holes, one hole 17b is for the slide 15 to set in, the other hole 17c is for a rotating shaft of the small motor 8 to set in. 
     The rotating shaft of the small motor 8 is inserted in a transmission shaft 18. An eccentric shaft 18a is disposed on the top of the transmission shaft 18. The eccentric shaft 18a drives a swinging lever 19 to swing. At the center of the swinging lever 19, there is disposed a shaft hole 19a for a central pin 20 to insert into. Both ends of the central pin 20 are respectively inserted into the inner holes 3a, 4a of the front neck 3 and back neck 4. At the end of the swinging lever 19, there is disposed a horn head 19b. The size of the horn head 19b is just suitable to be set in the eccentric shaft 18a of the transmission shaft 18, so the round post thread 19c is disposed on the top of the swinging lever 19 when the small motor 8 is rotating to do simple harmonic motion. 
     The round post head 19c of the swing post lever 19 is set on a coupled block 21, which has a horn opening at the setting spot. When blade lid 5 is uncovered or closed, the swinging lever 19 and the coupled block 21 can be easily connected or separated. At the top of the coupled block 21, there is disposed a slightly convex round post to connect with a moving blade 22. The moving blade 22 is a rectangular blade made of thin stainless steel. Its front edge is slightly folded and molded to become a zigzag blade 22a. Under the moving blade 22, there is disposed a non-moving blade 23, which is made of the same material and has a longer but symmetric front edge with the moving blade 22. When the swinging lever 19 is swung because of the simple harmonic motion, the moving blade 22 will raze the hair close to the tooth-like blade edges 22a, 23a or between the moving blade 22 and the non-moving blade 23. To maintain the closeness between these two blades 22, 23, a thin and light metal spring piece 24 is disposed on the moving blade 22 so as to hold the upper edge of the tooth-like blade 22a of the moving blade 22. A snap 24 has a round hole for a slightly convex round post on the driving block 21 to set in it and to be in position. At this time, the moving blade 22 is closely clamped between these two blades 22, 23. 
     For the convenience of the user to clean the hair dust remaining in the razor, the blade is designed to be detachable. A radial shaft 5a is disposed at the end of the blade lid 5. At the back of the top of the back neck, there is disposed an elastic shaft hole 4b, which has an opening on its inner side for the radial shaft 5a to insert in it. The blade fixing piece 6 is disposed under the non-moving blade 23; and by means of its slot 6b and a pair of reverse hooks 5b, in the blade lid 5, the blade assembly can be completely put together. 
     Referring to FIG. 5, at both sides (left and right) of the blade fixing piece 6, there is disposed a pair of outward-extending pinch plates 6a. An outward-extending reverse hook 6c is disposed on its side wall and can be inserted in the slot 3b of the top of the front neck 3 so as to join the blade assembly and the hair razor main body. Because the blade fixing piece 6 is a thin plastic piece, when its outward extending pinch plate 6a is pressed or clamped by outer force, its reverse hooks 6c will contract inward so as to open the blade assembly. This is one of the important characteristics of the invention. 
     For the long-term maintenance of the razor, inward tooth-claws 3c, 4c, are disposed on the inner flange of the lower portion of the front 3 and back neck 4, and a concave 1d is disposed at the upper opening la of the grip 1. Because, the round opening 1a slants to the right, the front neck 3 and back neck 4 can be radially rotated to secure to or separate from the main body. Therefore, the necks 3, 4 can either match and join with each other tightly, or separate fast and easily so that the user can clean the hair dust in the upper portion of the grip 1. This is another important characteristic of the invention. 
     With respect to the assembly of grip 1, now refer to FIG. 4, all of the transmission shaft 18, the water-proof rubber socket 17, and slide 15 can be set in the inner shell 9 and the inner shell 9 can be put in the interior of the grip 1 and be secured in it by setting a reverse hook 9d into the concave hole 1e of the grip 1 under the inner shell 9. And, to stabilize and secure the metal tray 12, a positioning pin 7b is disposed on the bottom of the battery lid 7 and a plurality of tapered claws 12b are disposed at the center of the metal tray 12 so that the pin 7b can be clamped by the claw 12b and they can match and join with each other. 
     As for the structure of the detachable blade, now referring to FIG. 6, by means of squeezing and pressing backward the outward-extending pinch plate 6a&#39; of the blade fixing piece 6&#39;, the clamped slot 6b&#39; can get away from the blade lid 5 so as to serve the purpose of selecting different combinations.
