Zusammenfassung:An end cover arrangement for an electric razor including a pair of oppositely disposed, pivotally mounted end caps having two individual springs for each cap, with one spring biasing the cap into an open position and the other acting to maintain it in a closed position, and with an actuator button and yoke arrangement adapted to release the spring holding the cap closed to permit opening the end covers for cutting head cleaning. In the preferred construction, the end cap units are urged to an open or generally horizontal position by a coiled wire spring unit while movement thereof is resisted by engagement between a second or leaf spring unit and a projection extending beneath the pivot axis of each end cap. The actuator button operates a slidable yoke which pushes the leaf spring end portions away from a position of engagement with the cap extension, thereby freeing the cover for opening movement. Once open, the covers may be individually closed and will remain closed until the button is again actuated.
