Shaving Apparatus

Abstract

A shaver includes an improved locking mechanism for securing a shaving head to the shaver while allowing for simple and convenient removal thereof. The shaver further includes an adjustable shaver head that effectively follows the contours of the face or body. The shaver can be extended to use with a backshaver that has a first handle portion connected to a second handle portion by a joint assembly that allows the handle portions to be adjusted to varying angles and locked at a desired angle.

1 . A shaver comprising:
 a shaver head having a lower end that has a recess, and a circular raised ring extending from the lower end having at least two spaced-apart L-shaped grooves; and   a handle base having a mounting base that includes a circular groove having at least two spaced-apart bumps provided in a wall of the circular groove, with each of the bumps being fitted inside a corresponding L-shaped groove when the shaver head is connected to the handle base, and the mounting base further including a locking projection that is fitted inside the recess of the shaver head when the shaver head is connected to the handle base.   
     
     
         2 . The shaver of  claim 1 , wherein the shaver head is rotatable with respect to the mounting base. 
     
     
         3 . The shaver of  claim 1 , wherein the locking projection is moved up and down to cause it to enter and to leave, respectively, the recess. 
     
     
         4 . The shaver of  claim 2 , wherein each L-shaped groove has a short leg and a long leg, and wherein each bump enters the corresponding L-shaped groove via the short leg and the shaver head is rotated to cause the bump to travel along the long leg.
