AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional electric shavers often fail to effectively cut hair due to the angle at which hair protrudes from the skin, leading to multiple passes over the same area and skin irritation.
Method used
A hair guide element with a toothed profile and inclined surface design, featuring teeth with a thickness less than 250 μm and an inclined surface that guides hair towards the cutting element, enhancing cutting efficiency and reducing skin irritation.
Benefits of technology
The design allows for improved hair cutting efficiency with reduced skin irritation by effectively guiding and cutting hair with minimal passes, even at small angles of protrusion.

Abstract
The present invention provides a hair guide element for an electric shaver, a hair cutting assembly comprising a hair guide element and a cutting element, an electric shaver comprising a hair guide element or a hair cutting assembly, and a method for manufacturing a hair guide element. [Solution] A hair guide element (10) for an electric shaver is provided. The hair guide element has a skin contact surface (12) for contacting the skin and a cutting element facing surface (14) for facing a cutting element (16), the cutting element facing surface facing in the opposite direction to the direction the skin contact surface faces. The outer circumference of the hair guide element provides the hair guide element with a toothed profile including teeth (20) arranged along the principal axis of the hair guide element, each tooth including part of the skin contact surface and part of the cutting element facing surface. A hair cutting assembly (10, 16) comprising the hair guide element and the cutting element, and an electric shaver comprising such a hair cutting assembly are further provided. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing a hair guide element is provided.
