  • WO 99/36233 discloses a razor for shaving hair from the skin.
  • the razor comprises cutting blades which are mounted in a cartridge.
  • the cartridge is mounted in a roller which is rotatably mounted in a stationary housing having upper openings via which the cartridge comes in contact with the skin during operation.
  • the razor comprises a drive mechansim to rotate the roller.
  • the cartridge comprises a guide element associated with the cutting blade.
  • the cutting blade and the associated guide element are configured to form a safety blade such that, when the cutting blade rotates in direct contact with the skin, the cutting blade shaves hair from the skin without cutting the skin.
  • the razor includes two similar blade assemblies rotated by the drive mechanism in opposite directions so as to apply a stretching tension to the skin.
  • WO2011086474A1 discloses a shaving apparatus comprising a rotary cutter being rotatable about an axis and a fixed blade having a counter cutting edge.
  • the fixed blade is mounted adjacent to the rotary cutter.
  • the counter cutting edge is formed along an edge of an elongated hair-entry opening.
  • the shaving apparatus When the shaving apparatus is moved over the skin of a user, hairs of the user will enter the hair-entry opening and will be sheared between the counter cutting edge of the fixed blade and cutting edges of the rotating rotary cutter. For good shaving results, hair must be cut very close to the skin. This means that near the counter cutting edge the fixed blade needs to be very thin. To prevent cutting of the skin by such a very thin, fixed blade, the width of the hair-entry opening in a direction perpendicular to the counter cutting edge needs to be relatively small.
  • the fixed blade needs to be relatively thick to avoid cutting of the skin, as a result of which the remaining length of the sheared hairs will be relatively long and hence the shaving results are not good either.
  • a general object of the present invention is to provide a personal care device wherein good cutting results can be obtained when cutting relatively long hairs.
  • the invention provides a personal care device of the type mentioned in the opening paragraph, further comprising at least two of said hair cutting modules, wherein the cutting members of the at least two hair cutting modules are rotatable in a same direction about parallel-extending axes of rotation, and wherein the height of the longitudinal side surface of the stationary blade of a first of the at least two hair cutting modules is greater than the height of the longitudinal side surface of the stationary blade of a second of the at least two hair cutting modules, whilst in a direction perpendicular to the side surface of the stationary blade the longitudinal hair-entry opening of the first hair cutting module is wider than the longitudinal hair-entry opening of the second hair cutting module.
  • the hairs When the cutting modules are moved over the skin of a user, hairs are pressed flat against the skin. In the hair-entry opening the hairs erect and are cut between the cutting edge of the cutting member and the counter cutting edge of the rotating cutting member. If a hair is pressed against the skin in a direction perpendicular to the counter cutting edge and is longer than the width of the hair-entry opening, the hair will not be able to erect over its full length in the hair-entry opening.
  • the first hair cutting module is suitable for cutting comparatively long hairs of up to for example 1.5 millimetre, wherein cutting of the skin is prevented due to the relatively high side surface of the blade.
  • the length of the hairs after being cut by the first module is shorter than the original length of the relatively long hairs, but is still too long, for example 300 microns.
  • the hair-entry opening of the second hair cutting module is narrower than the hair-entry opening of the first hair cutting module, the second hair cutting module is suitable for cutting hairs with a shorter length, for example hairs already shortened by the first hair cutting module.
  • the hair will be cut closer to the skin and a hair with a relatively short length, for example 500 micron, can be cut practically to skin level (0-100 micron).
  • a hair with a relatively short length for example 500 micron
  • the shortened hairs and other relatively short hairs can be cut to the desired length by the second hair cutting module, whereby good cutting results are obtained.
  • each further hair cutting module is suitable for cutting hairs with a shorter length than the previous hair cutting module to a length that is shorter than the length of the hairs after being cut by the previous hair cutting module.
  • a circumferential direction of motion of the cutting members is opposite to a direction of movement of the hair cutting modules over askin of a user and, seen in said direction of movement, the first hair cutting module is located in front of the second hair cutting module.
  • the first hair cutting module By placing the first hair cutting module in front of the second hair cutting module, a relatively long hair will be reduced in length by the first hair cutting module.
  • the personal care device When the personal care device is moved further in the direction of movement of the hair cutting modules over the skin of the user, the shortened hair will immediately be cut to the desired length.
  • the personal care device needs to be moved twice over the same part of the skin, whereby, during the first time, a relatively long hair will be reduced in length by the first hair cutting module, whilst, during the second time, the shortened hair will be cut to the desired length.
  • a width of the longitudinal hair-entry opening of at least one of the hair cutting modules is at least three times the height of the longitudinal side surface of the stationary blade of said at least one of the hair cutting modules.
  • the width of the hair-entry opening is as large as possible to allow hairs with a length similar to the width of the hair-entry opening to enter the hair-entry opening, whilst due to the height of the side surface of the blade, cutting of the skin is prevented.
  • a ratio between the height of the longitudinal side surface of the stationary blade of the first hair cutting module and the width of the longitudinal hair-entry opening of the second hair cutting module is in a range between 0.15: 1 and 1.5: 1.
  • hairs can be shortened to a desired length of about 0-100 micron in two steps, wherein each hair cutting module can be optimized for hair with a specific length.
  • a ratio between the width of the longitudinal hair-entry opening of the first hair cutting module and the width of the longitudinal hair-entry opening of the second hair cutting module is in a range between 2 : 1 and 5: 1.
  • the maximum length of the hairs that can be cut by the different hair cutting modules differs by about the same ratio, so that each hair cutting module can be optimized for hair with a specific length.
  • the cutting edge of the cutting member of the second hair cutting module is located at a same or smaller distance from the axis of rotation than the cutting edge of the cutting member of the first hair cutting module.
  • each radius can, for example, be equal to at least the length of the hair to be cut, to optimize the cutting function of each hair cutting module. Since the second hair cutting module cuts hairs that have already been shortened by the first hair cutting module, the radius of the second hair cutting module can be smaller.
  • At least one of the cutting members comprises a number of cutting edges extending spirally about the axis of rotation. During each complete rotation of the cutting member, the cutting edges, one after the other, will cooperate with the counter cutting edge, so that a number of cutting actions will take place during one revolution of the cutting member. By having the cutting edge extend spirally about the axis of rotation, the forces applied to the cutting edge during cutting will be spread over time during rotation of the cutting member through a certain angle.
  • said at least one of the cutting members comprises passages extending between the cutting edges and through the axis of rotation.
