A rotary electric shaver with an outer cutter having a circular shaving top surface with numerous hair introduction openings and an inner cutter having a small cutter slidably rotating in contact with a bottom surface of the outer cutter. The rotary electric shaver includes an outer cutter set wherein the outer cutter is assembled in an outer cutter holding unit and an inner cutter set wherein the inner cutter is assembled in an inner cutter holding unit. The outer cutter set and the inner cutter set are respectively provided with a positioning convex portion on one and a positioning concave portion on the other. The positioning convex portion can fit in the positioning concave portion such that the outer cutter set can be assembled with the inner cutter set only in a case where the outer cutter set and the inner cutter set are in a predetermined assembly position.
1. A rotary electric shaver that includes an outer cutter which has a circular shaving surface as a top surface where numerous hair introduction openings are formed and an inner cutter which has a small cutter which rotates slidingly in contact with a bottom surface of the outer cutter from below the shaving surface, the rotary electric shaver comprising:
an outer cutter set in which the outer cutter is assembled in an outer cutter holding unit; and
an inner cutter set in which the inner cutter is assembled in an inner cutter holding unit,
wherein the outer cutter set and the inner cutter set are respectively provided with a positioning convex portion on one of the outer cutter set and the inner cutter set and a positioning concave portion on one of the inner cutter set and the outer cutter set, and the positioning convex portion can fit in the positioning concave portion such that the outer cutter set can be assembled with the inner cutter set only when the outer cutter set and the inner cutter set are in one predetermined pattern assembly position,
one of the outer cutter set and the inner cutter set is provided with an interference portion, and the positioning convex portion interferes with the interference portion such that the outer cutter set cannot be assembled with the inner cutter set when the outer cutter set and the inner cutter set are in other patterns of assembly positions except said one predetermined pattern of assembly position, and
the interference portion is a flat plate portion into which the positioning convex portion cannot enter.
2. The rotary electric shaver according to claim 1 ,
wherein the outer cutter set and the inner cutter set are colored in surroundings of each outer cutter in the outer cutter holding unit and colored in surroundings of each inner cutter in the inner cutter holding unit so as to be in a matching color combination with each other only when the outer cutter set and the inner cutter set are in a predetermined assembly position.
3. The rotary electric shaver according to claim 1 ,
wherein the outer cutter set and the inner cutter set are fixed to each other by bonding, welding, screw-fastening, or snap-fit-engaging.
