HAIRCUTTING APPLIANCE Filed Aug. 22. 1930 :e sheets-sheet 2 Patented Mar. 20, 1934 UNITED STATESA PATENT OFFICE Application August 22, 1930, semi No. 477,134 In Switzerland September 5, 1929 1 clam. (ci. :to- 12) In order that the hair after cutting 'lies correctly the hair is cut to a point that is to say care is taken that the hair in a bunch is all cut to different lengths.
`sors in that forward and backward movements were carried out therewith on the hair held at Y the point in'one hand whilst separate vhair of 1'0 the bunch were cut. The hair wasthus cut to "different lengths.`
VIn order to carry out this operation properly many years experience is required.4 `The object of thepresent invention is to'facilitate this work and to provide a simple, inexpensive 'and readily ject of the invention is to provide'suitable'means Vout any further aid. l
According to the present invention a blade,
A 'for example the blade of a Vrazona shaving ap- .pliance blade and. so forth is so arranged on a comb that the-cutting edge of the blade partly enters the teethof this'comb. -By drawing suchl a comb' through the hair the hair is cut by the blade in such a manner Athat the hair has dii- ,fnerentlengths v Preferably .the appliance is so constructed that the cuttingedge of the blade is adjustable relatively to the points of the teeth of the 'comb and is capable of being locked in position'. If the cutting-edge is locked ina position more or less from the points of -the teeth the cutting action is modified. The blade may also be completely removed from the teeth so that the comb may vbe used as such, not for cutting.' but for combing the hair. The device for adjusting the blade is also such that the cutting edge projects beyond the teeth points of the comb. In this position of the blade the cutting edge thereof may be sharpened easily by stropping on a grinding body, leather and so forth.

Figure 19 is a plan of the same. Y f
The appliance according tri-Figs. 1 and 2 i's provided with a double comb 1 o metal, .horn-,ja Y
' suitable articial mass such as celluloid and the, 85
like, having afhandle 2 in which is rotatably and adiustably mounted a razor blade 4. The double comb 2 is providedv with teeth 5. Between the vtwo v side portions 7, 8 of the comb is located the-blade 4. A stop 9 provided on the handle 2, limits the 90 movement of the blade 4 and includes a set screw 9e which enables'the end position of the blade to be varied. ,The blade 4 is guided by means of a pin 10 in a slot 11 of the handle 2. If the blade 4 is engaged between the teeth of the dou- 95 ble comb land the appliance is drawn through the hair to be cut the hair is cut automatically By lifting the blade 4 out able for combing the hair.
The length of the slot 11 and the widths of the blade and comb are such as to enable the -blade to be so adjusted that its cutting edge projects beyond points of the teeth and parallel Awith the common plane of such points, so that it may be readily sharpened as hereinafter stated. f The procedure is preferably iirst to arrange the hair by means of the comb, then the head is set vfirmly and the hair dresser then holds a bunch of hair at the ends with the left hand. The short hair are combed towards the head with the comb and by pressure of a finger the blade 4 is set in the position shown in Fig. 2. The longer hair held by the left hand is then pointed by the blade 4, that is to say cut to unequal length. The bunch of hair, thus cut, then places itself from the inside towards the outside whilst extending to a point uniformly against the head.
Instead of a double comb two adjacently disposed combs 7, 8' (Fig. 17) could be provided.
Further the teeth could be inclined relatively 'to the handle. The blade, instead of being rotatable about the rivet 10, could be arranged to be moved parallel to itself in the comb.
In Figs. 3--14 are illustrated further forms of construction of the appliance wherein fiat blades, for example blades of safety razors are used. The front end of a handle 15 (Figs. 3 to 5) formed as a head is provided on both longitudinal sides with teeth, the teeth on both sides being of the same or different flneness. Over the toothed head portion is located a blade shaped steel blade 16, similar to that of a safety razor, and over this is placed a protecting plate 17 which is also provided on both sides with teeth. The teeth of the parts 15 and 17 coincide withone another. The
` As shown in Figs. 7 and 8 the comb could also be provided on one side with teeth 22 serving for combing purposes but not for cutting whilst on the back of the handle 21 there is again provided a blade 16 which is adjustable and capable of being locked by screws 18. As` shown in Figs. 9 and 10 the blade 16 can also be connected to the handle 25 by means` of a springy clamping member 26 and a strap 27 provided with headed ends 28 engaging between the limbs of the springy clamping member 26 and thus pressing the protecting plate 29 against the blade 16 and the latter against the head portion 25 of the handle. By forcible pressure on the strap 27 the latter can be removed from the position shown and thus the blade 16 released from the comb 25. The strap 27 may also be screw threaded at its end for engage'- ment by nuts which press the plate 29 firmly against the comb 25.
The blade 16 itself may have the shape shown in Figs. 11-14. The blade 16 is provided with projections 40, notches 41 and slots 43 of diilerent shapes so that it can be engaged easily with the finger and adjusted in any desired position in the handle.
The blade 16, Fig. 14, is provided with cutting edges inclined relatively to one another, the blade facilitates cutting the hair along the hair limit of the head.
In the form of construction according to Figs. 15 and 16 there is provided on the handle 30 a head with teeth of different iineness on oppositely disposed sides. The blade 32 is provided at its oppositely disposed narrow edges with teeth 33. The blade 32 is secured by a cover plat 34. In the parts 30, 34 are rotatably mounted two peripherally toothed bushes 31. The bushes 31 engage with the teeth 33 of the blade and by turning the bushes the blade 32 can be suitably adjusted. For locking the blade 32 in the desired operative position clamping plates 44 are provided, which when tightened by means of screws 35 clamp the parts 30, 32, 34 together.
The plates 17, 29 and the head portions 15, 21, 25 are each provided with a recess so as to enable the blades 16 to be gripped by hand and moved and adjusted as desired so as to adjust the length of hair cutting.
In the form of construction according to Figs. 18 and 19 two combs 45, 46, having the same teeth spacing, are rotatably connected together by a rivet 48. The separate combs 45, 46 may be turned independently of one another. In the p0- l sition shown the combs are held by a pin 49 prorazor blade can be used with only a single comb or in the manner described in connection with Fig. 1. What I wish to claim and secure by the U. S. Letters Patent, ist- A device for combing and cutting hair, comprising a comb element having a double comb, said combs being spaced apart and each provided at one end with a handle having a transverse slot substantially parallel with the teeth of the comb; a blade arranged to enter the space between the combs and providedwitha tang arranged between the handles of the combs, a pivot for said blade projecting from the tang thereof and movable in the slots of the handles and means whereby the blade may be adjusted to dispose its cutting edge at any desired distance within the points of the comb teeth according to the desired length of the hair or to a position beyond the said points and parallel with the common plane thereof, to enable said edge to be sharpened.
