Claims

Note: Claims are shown in the official language in which they were submitted.


Claims:
What is new about my proposed invention is:
l) Snap on razor shaving head.
2) Unique adapter for merging 2 devices together to prevent movement
between razor head and trimmer body.
Reason for Special Order request advanced examination and early laid-open
I have requested early examination for my invention because I fear
someone else will possibly try to copy my invention. I have shown my
invention to a company that was supposed to do the patent work on this
invention and specifically an individual who worked for this company. I
subsequently lost confidence in this company and we severed relations. My
fear is that this individual and/or company might try to claim or sell this
invention as their own, thus my claim for early examination.
Please find enclosed the prescribed fee of $ 100.
Regards,
Bill Solomos

CA 02212~61 1997-09-22
SPECIFICATION: Trimmer/Shaver
Submitted By: Bill Solomos
The invention relates to personal grooming used mainly by males. The
main design is based on existing nose hair trimming technology. It has an on/offswitch and uses a single "M" battery. The top of the trmmer has two sliding
blades powered by an electric motor which trims nose and ear hair. In addition asecond functioning part (Top Piece) which is the actual shaver fits over the
electric trimmer head and screws on threads into the trimmer allowing you to
manually shave your face. The "top piece" shaver part will accept standard
disposable twin blade razor cartridges. Please refer to diagram. The unit will be
made out of plastic. The benefit of the unit is that it gives you immediate access
to a shaver and nose hair trimmer saving frustration and time.
