Definitions

  • a carrier body having a clipper for cutting longer hair is mounted on the front of the appliance housing and is operated via an additional slider switch positioned next to the initial slider switch; this second switch allows the user to adjust this clipper upward to various positions along the housing.
  • the drive mechanism of the long-hair clipper is mechanically coupled to that of the shaver, which, in turn, is coupled to the motor.
  • the long-hair clipper consists of a spring-mounted, comb-like trimmer that extends outward from the housing and that can be raised and lowered via a sliding block guide on the carrier body.
  • EP 1 641 601 B1 also discloses a hair-cutting appliance of the type described above, wherein a carrier body is mounted on a slider switch in front of the shaver on the front side of the appliance housing; long-hair clippers are positioned directly across each other on this carrier body, which can be rotated by 180°.
  • the slider switch is in position 1, the electric motor, and thus the shaver, is switched on.
  • a shave with the shaver system is the only option available for position 1.
  • the long-hair clipper can be pivoted about a pivot axis, allowing it to better adapt to the contours of the user's skin and, especially, to provide more thorough results while better protecting the user's skin. Because the long-hair clipper according to the present invention pivots about a pivot axis, the contact surface of the clipper always remains flush with the surface of the skin such that the blade system can reach and cut very short hairs, even over large areas. The contact surface of the clipper according to the present invention will always necessarily follow the contours of the skin, virtually regardless of the angle to the skin at which the user holds the housing of the hair-cutting appliance.
  • the carrier body is rotatably linked to the slider switch via a rotating axle; at the same time, a second long-hair clipper is built onto the carrier opposite the lowerable clipper and can be connected to the electronic motor (Claim 15).
  • the first long-hair clipper is switched on, the lower blade of the long-hair clipper at one end and the lower blade of the other long-hair clipper at the other end are driven in an opposing rhythm, i.e., the lower blades are each coupled to the motor via the single coupling mount.
  • the other long-hair clipper would only be engaged once the carrier body is turned, at which point the long-hair clipper that had just been engaged is then switched off.
  • the long axis of the shaver system 3 which can be designed in any number of ways without affecting the present invention, is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 12 of the hair-cutting appliance 1, as shown in figures 1 through 4 .
  • the housing 2 accommodates the motor 125, drive mechanisms (not shown), electrical components such as a PCB (not shown), electrical switch 6, etc., and possibly battery cells and/or power or charging components supplying electricity to the motor 125.
  • the electrical on/off switch 6 is positioned on the front 5 of the housing 2. This switch is used to turn the power supplied to the motor 125 on or off. When engaged, the motor 125 drives the lower blade (not shown) of the shaver system 3, causing the former to oscillate in direction Z ( figure 1 ).
  • the upper long-hair clipper 10 with its comb-like teeth 24 ( figure 8 ) rotates counterclockwise about a pivot axis 25 until the contact surface 26, which comes into contact with the surface of the user's skin, forms an angle ⁇ of approximately 60° with the longitudinal axis 27 of the carrier body 9.
  • the angle ⁇ is roughly 120°, i.e., the contact surface 26 is angled downward to the right.
  • the angle ⁇ is roughly 90°, i.e., the contact surface 26 is roughly perpendicular to longitudinal axis 27.
  • the other end of the compression spring 50 extends into the open space at the top of the bore hole 47 and presses against a plunger 51 via a centering mandrel 52; the plunger extends into the bore hole 47 and is pressed into a central position with a drive rod 53.
  • the drive rod 53 extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis 12 into a fitting bore 54 at the top end of the oscillatory bridge 41, where it passes through the latter.
  • the diameter of the right-hand mounting bore 75 is significantly larger than the diameter of the corresponding pin 73, while the left-hand mounting bore 74 (as shown in figure 15 ) is conical, with its wide end at the bottom and narrow end at the top 77, the latter of which accommodates guide element 72 with virtually no play.
  • the mounting pins 101, 102 can be glued, press fit, welded or threaded into place in the mounting bores 99, 100 or fixed into place using other traditional mounting techniques. If threading the pins into place, as done in the sample embodiment shown here, the mounting pins 101, 102 can be screwed into the mounts 99, 100 from outside until virtually all lateral play has been eliminated, thereby allowing the frame of the clipper head 98 to pivot easily but with no play about its pivot axis 25 while remaining optimally centered on the support structure 82.
  • the hair-cutting appliance 1 in the present invention works in the following manner:
  • the horizontal motion of the oscillatory bridge 41 in the direction indicated by V transfers the oscillatory motion first to the drive rod 53, from there to the coupling member connected to the lower blade 107 and finally to the lower blade 107 itself.
  • the lower blade 107 slides along the underneath side of the fixed upper blade 106 in a way that cuts hairs that extend between the teeth 108, 109.
  • the clipper head frame 98 stops the frame of the clipper head 98 from moving, i.e., the clipper head frame 98 is prevented from pivoting about its pivot axis 25 and maintains, for instance, the horizontal position shown in figure 14 .
  • the contact surface 118 on the front face is essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis 12 of the hair-cutting appliance 1. Hairs extending over the tips of the teeth and into the gaps 111, 112 between teeth are cut in this position as well (from the front face).
  • the second long-hair clipper 11 can now be used advantageously to cut curved contours.
  • the dimensions and values disclosed herein are not to be understood as being strictly limited to the exact numerical values recited. Instead, unless otherwise specified, each such dimension is intended to mean both the recited value and a functionally equivalent range surrounding that value. For example, a dimension disclosed as "40 mm” is intended to mean “about 40 mm.”
