Referring .to kthe drawingjthenurner'al 1f.des,`
Mounted for reciprocating motion insidethe sleeve 2 is a block 4 which is provided with oppositely disposed grooves 5 and 6 on`its top and bottom sides, respectively.

forwardly. The forwardpressure exertedby the 40 rod 15 .uponthespring 16.;s transferred to .the projection. 17;.therebyeausing ,thejaw l2 to ,move
.about itsV .pivot .13 .isop as .to bring.,about. aseparation of. its forward gripping .end from `theadjacentend .of .jaw 11. ,.The-rod .15.is provided with 45 .a projection 18.which.is.located .directly .forward 'of a 'shoulder'. .18 onthe rear .end .of..thep..block.`4. When Vthe rod 15.is moved rearwardly,..the` .projection Y18 engages with the .said.shoulder..18'., thereupon causing theblock andthe tweezers-to 50 be moved in a rearward direction.
So as to provide means for bringing the jaw l2 into gripping. engagement with the' jaw 11 prior vtothe rearward" Vmovement "of the ysaid jaws, a
protuberance or projecton'19. is provided fonl a 5.5
side of the rod 15. The protuberance 19 is positioned so as to engage with a protuberance 20 located at the inner side of the rear end of the leg of jaw 12, when the rod 15 is moved in a rearward direction. The relative positions of the protuberance 20 and the rear shoulder 18 of the block 4 is such that the said shoulder is engaged by the projection 18 after the protuberance 19 has firmly engaged with the protuberance 20 on the said leg of jaw 12. In this way, the engagement of the protuberance 19 with the protuberance 20 causes the jaw 12 to be brought into. av
firm gripping position with respect to the jaw 11, prior to the time the block 4 and the said jaws are moved rearwardly. So as to provide means for moving the block 4 and the tweezers in a forward direction, a pin or screw 21 is secured to the said block, across its longitudinal slot, and directly adjacent and in front of the protuberance 19 on the rod 15. Thus as the rod 15 is moved forwardly, the protuberance 1 9 engages with the screw 21 and causes the block and tweezers to be carried in a forward direction until such movement is arrested by the shoulder on the ferrule 3 being engaged by the said block. It is therefore apparent when theplunger 22 is moved forwardly that the' jaws 11 and 12 of the tweezers lare also moved in the same direction and at the same time separated one from the other. It is also apparent when the plunger is moved rearwardly, that vthe jaw 12 is brought into rm gripping engagement with the jaw 1l, and that thereafter the two jaws while maintained in their firm gripping relationship with one another are moved in unison in a rearward direction.
Secured as by screws to the casing 1 is a combined hair guide and skin protector 23, the free forked end of which is normally positioned just in front of the jaws 11 and l2 when they are in an extreme forward position.
An armature 24, mounted for reciprocating motion in a sleeve 25 which is attached to the rear end of the casing, is suitably secured to the plunger 22 as by a pin. Interposed between the armature 24 and a stop member 26 which is pinned to the rear end of the sleeve 25, is a spiral spring 27. The spiral spring 2'7 causesthe return of the jaws 11 and 12 to their extremeforward positions after they have been pulled rearwardly against the said spring by the movement in the same direction of the armature. A solenoid 28, supplied with electrical current from a suitable source through wires 29 is adapted to be intermittently energized by the operation of a suitable switch, thereby causing the armature to be moved rearwardly each time the circuit to the solenoid is closed. The solenoid is electrically connected at one end to a ystationary contact point 30, and a contact control lever 31 pivotally mounted on toggle screws 32 is adapted to be moved into and out of engagement with said contact point. The contact control lever 31 is provided with a depending arm 33 which extends between two spaced projections 34 on the plunger 22. As the plunger 22 is actuated backand forth, its two spaced projections 34 alternately engage with the arm 33 of the contact control lever 31, thereby. causing the latter to be moved into and out of engagement with the contact point 30. A toggle spring 35 attached to the contact control lever 31 and to one of the screws 36, gives the said lever a deiinte current, so when the said lever is brought into engagement with the contact point 30 the circuit to the solenoid is completed. -Upon the completion of the circuit to the solenoid the latter is energized, thereby causing the armature 24, the plunger 22, the block 4 and the tweezers to be pulled rearwardly. The rearward movement of the plunger brings the foremost of the two projections 34 into engagement with the arm 33'01 the contact control lever, thereby causing the disengagement of the latter from the contact point 30. As soon as the circuit to the solenoid is broken, the then compressed spring 27 forces the armature 24, the plunger 22, the block 4 and the tweezers in a forward direction. When the plunger is moved sufliciently in a forward direction the rearmost of the two projections 34 engages with the arm 33 of the control lever 31, thereby causing the latter to again contactwith the point 30 to complete thecircuit to the solenoid 28. In this manner the tweezers are automatically moved back and forth with reciprocating motion.4 The opening inthe casing Within which the contact control lever 31 is mounted is normally closed by a cover or name plate 37. The name plate is secured to the casing by the screws 36, and an insulated contact point 38 on the bottom of the said plate serves as buffer means for the contact control lever 31 in its upward movement.
Mounted at the end of the casing 1 and extending in spaced relation around the solenoid 28, is an end cap 39 which is secured to the armatures stop member 26 by a nut 40. The end cap is provided with a suitable opening through which the f wires 29 extend.
