HAIR CUTTER

The present invention relates to cutting body hair such as beard stubbles of multidays' beard. More particularly, the present invention relates to a hair cutter such as electric shaver and/or electric trimmer, comprising a handle and a cutter head attached to said handle, and at least one cutter unit including a pair of drivable and stationary cutter elements cooperating with each other, said cutter unit being adjustably supported by means of a support structure including a spring mechanism to allow for elastic self-adaption of the cutter unit to the skin contour in terms of diving and/or tilting of the cutter unit relative to a cutter head frame, said spring mechanism including at least one elongated leaf spring which is rigidly attached, with one end portion, to a first end portion or edge portion of said cutter unit and, with another end portion, to said cutter head frame at a spring support portion thereof adjacent to a second end portion or edge portion of the cutter unit opposite to the first end portion or edge portion thereof. Despite such eccentric attachment of the leaf spring to the cutter unit and the asymmetric layout of the spring mechanism, the elastic support structure of the at least one cutter unit nevertheless may be configured to provide for a symmetric self-adaption, in particular symmetric micro diving and/or micro tilting.
