Patent ID: 6932548

Claim:
A surface compensating shaving apparatus for removing a plurality of pins from a surface of a pinmat, comprising: a rotary member having a first recess integrally formed therein; a surface compensating member being fixedly coupled to said rotary member in a rotational direction and slidably coupled to said rotary member in an axial direction, said surface compensating member having a second recess integrally formed therein; at least one cutting member extending from said surface compensating member for shearing the plurality of pins at the surface of the pinmat; and a biasing member disposed within at least one of said first recess in said rotary member and said second recess in said surface compensating member, said biasing member for biasing said at least one cutting member toward the surface of the pinmat; an end cap for coupling to an end of said biasing member; and a screw member for contacting said end cap and forcing said end cap in an axial direction so as to compress said biasing member at a desired compression, said screw for coupling to said surface compensating member within said second recess and forcing said end cap in an axial direction.
