Shaving apparatus with a pivotably mounted shaving head

1. A shaving apparatus comprising:

a base;

a shaving head mounted on the base, the shaving head having a head longitudinal axis along a center of the shaving head in a longitudinal direction of the shaving head;

wherein the shaving head is pivotably mounted with respect to the base about a pivot axis to be pivotally movable during shaving being parallel to the head longitudinal axis and at a side of the shaving head away from a base longitudinal axis of the base, and away from the head longitudinal axis of the shaving head and towards the base, wherein the base longitudinal axis is along a center of the base in a longitudinal direction of the base; and

a drive lever extending from the base toward the shaving head along the base longitudinal axis, the drive lever having a free end fixedly attached to the base and extending into the shaving head for driving cutters of the shaving head, wherein the free end is tilted relative the base longitudinal axis by an inclination angle.

2. The shaving apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the inclination angle is between 120° and 140°.

3. The shaving apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pivot axis is arranged below the free end towards the base.

4. A shaving apparatus comprising:

a base part for being held in one hand and having a top end and a bottom end;

a shaving head being mounted on the base part in a region of the top end of the base part and having a short-hair cutting device and a long-hair cutting device, the long-hair cutting device being arranged next to the short-hair cutting device in a first side direction of the shaving head,

wherein the short-hair cutting device has short-hair cutting parts which interact with one another, and wherein the long-hair cutting device is formed by a toothed cutting device which has two rows of cutting teeth lying next to one another in a longitudinal direction of the rows, and wherein the shaving head is pivotably mounted with respect to the base part about a pivot axis running parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rows to be pivotally movable during shaving, and wherein the pivot axis is arranged offset to a side of the shaving head away from a base longitudinal axis of the base part, and away from a head longitudinal axis of the shaving head and towards the base part with respect to the short-hair cutting parts and the rows of cutting teeth in a depth direction of the shaving head, wherein the base longitudinal axis is along a center of the base part in a longitudinal direction of the base;

a spring that spring-loads the shaving head counter to the depth direction away from the base part and towards a rest position of the shaving head; and

a drive lever extending from the base part toward the shaving head along the base longitudinal axis of the base part, the drive lever having a free end fixedly attached to the base part and extending into the shaving head for driving cutters of the shaving head, wherein the free end is tilted relative the base longitudinal axis of the base part by an inclination angle.

5. The shaving apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the longitudinal axis of the base part runs between the bottom end and the top end of the base part, and wherein the central longitudinal axis of the shaving head runs parallel to the depth direction, and wherein the free end is along the central longitudinal axis of the shaving head, and wherein the inclination angle is smaller than 180°.

6. The shaving apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the angle of inclination lies in a range between 120° and 140°.

7. The shaving apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a second toothed cutting device is provided, and wherein the short-hair cutting device is arranged between the two toothed cutting devices.

8. The shaving apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the spring comprises a wire spring which has a multiple wound middle section and two leg sections and is arranged with its middle section concentric to the pivot axis.

9. The shaving apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the angle of inclination is about 130°.

10. The shaving apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the pivot axis is arranged below the free end towards the base part.
