Abstract

The invention is directed to a dry shaving apparatus with a housing (1) in which an electric drive mechanism (2) is provided having a drive element (3) for the transmission of a driving motion to at least one reciprocatory cutting element (4), and with at least one shaving head (6) oscillating in a horizontal direction and formed by a shaving head frame (7, 55) in which at least two cooperating cutting elements (4, 5) are provided, wherein the electric drive mechanism (2) is mounted for oscillation in the housing (1) and is adapted to be set in oscillation by the inner forces necessarily occurring in operation of the dry shaving apparatus, and wherein the oscillatory motions of the electric drive mechanism (2) are transmitted to the shaving head (6) in order to set said shaving head in oscillation as well.
