  • the hair collection chamber 21 is further provided with a driving force transmission mechanism 4 which is engaged with the eccentric pin 32 and configured to reciprocate (oscillate).
  • Each of the stationary cutter 5 and the movable cutter 6 is, for example, a comb blade with teeth aligned at a linear anterior end of the flat-shaped comb blade.
  • the stationary cutter 5 is fixed to the body housing 2 to extend outwardly from the hair collection chamber 21.
  • the movable cutter 6 is fixed at its base fixed to the driving force transmission mechanism 4, and is driven by rotation of the motor 3 to reciprocate (oscillate) in the direction that the teeth of the movable cutter 6 are aligned.
  • the hair collection chamber 21 is disposed at the second end side of the body housing 2, and is a space enclosed by the separation barrier 22, each part of the side walls 24 and 24 of the body housing 2, the second end of the body housing 2, and a part of the back wall of the body housing 2.
  • the second end of the body housing 2 inclines towards the back side from the front side of the body housing 2, and functions as a guide wall 25.
  • the part of the back wall of the body housing 2 is approximately in parallel with the motor shaft 30 passing through the separation barrier 22, and the guide wall 25 is inclined towards a direction approaching the center of the motor shaft 30 from the front side of the body housing 2.
  • the hair collection chamber 21 has an opening 26 at the front side of the body housing 2.
  • the base of the stationary cutter 5 is fixed to the front end of the guide wall 25.
  • the teeth of the stationary cutter 5 extend forwardly (outwardly) from the front end of the guide wall 25, and are approximately in parallel with an outer surface of the guide wall 25. That is, if the hair cutter 1 is inclined so that the teeth of the stationary cutter 5 is in a horizontal position, the outer surface of the guide wall 25 becomes in a horizontal position.
  • the movable cutter 6 is arranged so that the teeth of the movable cutter 6 overlaps the teeth of the stationary cutter 5.
  • the movable cutter 6 is reciprocated (oscillated) in the direction that the teeth of the stationary cutter 5 are aligned, and slides against or on the stationary cutter 5.
  • the stationary cutter 5, the movable cutter 6 and the front end of the guide wall 25 are approximately in parallel with each other.
  • the opening 26 of the hair collection chamber 21 is opened and shut by the cover 8 attached to the frond side (the outer surface) of the body housing 2.
  • the cover 8 is releasably attached to the body housing 2.
  • the cover 8 can slide in the aforementioned one direction along the outer surface of the body housing 2 above the motor housing part 20 and inner front faces of the side walls 24 and 24 between which the hair collection chamber 21 intervenes. As shown in FIG. 2A , the anterior end of the cover 8 can slide towards the second end of the body housing 2 up to just before the teeth of the movable cutter 6. In other words, when the cover 8 is slid to shut the hair collection chamber 21, portions of the stationary cutter 5 and the movable cutter 6 except their teeth are covered with the cover 8 with their teeth exposed. A gap between the anterior end of the cover 8 and the movable cutter 6 forms an intake for collecting sheared hairs.
  • the hair collection chamber is concealed from outside.
  • the maximum position is hereinafter referred to as a "second maximum position”. If the cover 8 is slid up to the maximum position of the first end side of the body housing 2 (up to the position shown in FIG. 2B ), the hair collection chamber 21 is maximally opened.
  • the maximum position is hereinafter referred to as a "first maximum position”. In short, the cover 8 opens the hair collection chamber 21 when being slid from the second end to the first end side of the body housing 2, and also shuts the hair collection chamber 21 when being slid from the first end side to the second end of the body housing 2.
  • the cover 8 does not exist in the vertical direction of the movable cutter 6.
  • the cover 8 when the cover 8 is slid to open the hair collection chamber 21, all of the stationary cutter 5 and the movable cutter 6 are exposed through the hair collection chamber 21 communicating with outer space. Specifically, all of the front side of a shear part composed of the stationary cutter 5 and the movable cutter 6 are exposed. Therefore, in the hair cutter 1 of the embodiment, if the movable cutter 6 is in a horizontal position and the cover 8 is slid up to the first maximum position, water can be poured over the movable cutter 6 from above without disturbance by the cover 8. Accordingly, it is possible to make it easy to rinse (or wash) the hair collection chamber 21. It is also possible to lubricate the movable cutter 6, and accordingly galling (adhesive wear) of the movable cutter 6 can be prevented.
  • the opening 26 of the hair collection chamber 21 is shut with the cover 8.
  • the operating portion 7 is then turned on, thereby energizing the motor 3 to drive the movable cutter 6. Head hair is sheared while moving the guide wall 25 of the hair cutter 1 along the head. At this time, some hairs sheared with the stationary cutter 5 and the movable cutter 6 are collected into the hair collection chamber 21. If shearing is completed, the operating portion 7 is turned off to stop the motor 3.
  • the cover 8 is then slid and the hair collection chamber 21 is opened. Water is then poured over the stationary cutter 5, the movable cutter 6 and the hair collection chamber 21 from above in a vertical direction with the hair cutter 1 inclined so that the movable cutter 6 is in a horizontal position. Thereby, it is possible to rinse the stationary cutter 5, the movable cutter 6 and the hair collection chamber 21.
  • the hair cutter 1 of the embodiment has the body housing 2, the motor 3 disposed within the body housing 2, the stationary cutter 5 fixed to the body housing 2 to extend outwardly, and the movable cutter 6 adapted to be driven by the motor 3 to slide against the stationary cutter 5.
  • the cutter 1 further includes the hair collection chamber 21 for collecting hairs sheared with the movable cutter 6 and the stationary cutter 5, and the cover 8 adapted to be slid along the outer surface of the body housing 2 to open and shut the hair collection chamber 21.
  • the cover 8 can be slid along the outer surface of the body housing 2 in the direction away from the movable cutter 6. Accordingly, when the hair cutter 1 is inclined so that the movable cutter 6 is in a horizontal position, the movable cutter 6 is opened in a vertical direction through the opening 26.
  • the hair collection chamber 21 can be opened just by sliding the cover 8 along the outer surface of the body housing 2 in the one direction like the operating portion 7, thereby providing easy operation.
  • the cover 8 is opened along the body housing 2 without projecting outwardly, and accordingly a compact hair cutter is obtained.
  • the body housing 2 is provided with a shielded section 27 for shielding the back side 80 of the cover 8 from the hair collection chamber 21 side with the cover 8 slid to open the hair collection chamber 21.
  • a shielded section 27 for shielding the back side 80 of the cover 8 from the hair collection chamber 21 side with the cover 8 slid to open the hair collection chamber 21.
  • the anterior end of the cover 8 is located at the opening 26 side of the hair collection chamber 21, but in this embodiment, the hair collection chamber 21 is provided with the shielded section 27 at the first end side of the body housing 2 in the front side of the hair collection chamber 21. Therefore, when the cover 8 is slid up to the first maximum position, all or almost all of the back side 80 of the cover 8 is to be shielded from the hair collection chamber 21 side.
  • the hair cutter 1 of this configuration even if the hair collection chamber 21 is rinsed with the cover 8 opened, the back side 80 of the cover 8 can be shielded from water while rinsing it. Therefore, even if the cover 8 is shut after rinsing the hair collection chamber 21, it is possible reduce drops falling into the hair collection chamber 21 by moisture adhered to the cover 8. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress mold or the like.
  • the hair collection chamber 21 comprises a weep hole (not shown) communicating with the outside of the chamber.
  • a weep hole is formed at least one of: each part of side walls 24 and 24, at the back wall side, of the body housing 2; the guide wall 25; and the part of the back wall of the body housing 2.
  • the hair cutter 1 is provided with a mechanism configured to space the movable cutter 6 apart from the stationary cutter 5 side when the cover 8 is slid to open the hair collection chamber 21. In this embodiment, if the cover 8 is opened before the hair collection chamber 21 is rinsed, clearance can be secured between the stationary cutter 5 and the movable cutter 6. Therefore, it is possible to easily discharge the hair rubbish intervened between the stationary cutter 5 and the movable cutter 6.
  • the hair cutter 1 is provided with a mechanism configured to make the motor 3 operable when the cover 8 is slid to shut the hair collection chamber 21; and to make the motor 3 inoperable when the cover 8 is slid to open the hair collection chamber 21.
  • the hair cutter 1 is provided with a mechanism configured: to prohibit the cover 8 from being slid to open the hair collection chamber 21 when the motor 3 is driven; and to allow the cover 8 to be slid to open the hair collection chamber 21 when the motor 3 is stopped. In these embodiments, safety can be secured.
  • the operating portion 7 is further provided with a rinse mode (switch) for driving the motor 3 at low speed in addition to an on/off switch.
  • a rinse mode switch
  • the motor 3 can be driven at low speed and accordingly the cleaning effect can be enhanced.
