Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60/419,536, filed Oct. 21, 2002.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to guides for cutting hair, and more specifically to a guide for shaving and trimming facial hair.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Achieving consistent, neat, and stylish results trimming facial hair and sideburns is a daily challenge for many individuals. To meet this challenge, numerous devices have been developed to assist amateurs and professionals alike in trimming and shaving hair on the head, neck, and face.
- Among these devices are guides for trimming sideburns that protect a portion of the sideburn from the razor, as well as shields, which are hung from the ear, from straps worn on the head, or from the arms of spectacle frames to protect a measured length of sideburn. However, these devices are not intended to guide the trimming of hair on the remainder of the face.
- U.S. Pat. No. 1,504,436 issued to Daughley in August 1924, presents a shaving gauge that hangs from the ear and is trimmed to overlap the portion of hair immediately in front of the ear.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,010,764 issued to Wagner in March 1977, teaches a sideburn trimming guide that fits over the user's head on an inwardly biased arcuate band.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,106,515 issued to Miller in August 1978, teaches a sideburn trimming guide with trimming templates that hang from a strap that encircles the crown of the user's head. Neither Daughley, nor Wagner, nor Miller teaches a guide for shaving and trimming hair on the lower face.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,329,946 issued to Guma in July 1994, describes a handheld device fitted with a series of templates for trimming facial hair for trimming the beard, mustaches, and other hairlines. The user's razor is intended to follow the template along hairlines on the face and neck that protect hair not to be shaved. Unlike the present invention, it requires the use of one hand while shaving with the other. Furthermore, Guma does not teach a device for trimming facial hair that offers the user a clear view of area not be cut as well as that being cut.
- British Patent No. 725,158 issued Mar. 2, 1955 to Monk et al. describes a headgear with protective plates that hang down and protect hair on the upper cheek from being shaved. Like Daughley, Wagner, and Miller, Monk et al. does not teach a solution to guide trimming and shaving the lower face.
- None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed.
- The present invention is a system of calibrated guide rods that are set by the user in adjustable positions to guide shaving and trimming facial hair in replicable patterns.
- An oval, arcuate chin plate having an inner and outer surface, and a left and right side, is placed so that the inner surface rests on the chin. The user secures the malleable and substantially transparent plastic chin plate in place with an elastic strap that reaches around his neck and is secured with a buckle, hook and loop fastener, or other adjustable fastener on the side or back of his neck and away from his face.
- A clamp is permanently fastened on the left and right sides of the outer surface of the chin plate, approximately at the ends of the plate. A slender, rigid, calibrated guide rod, approximately three to four inches long and ⅛ to ¼ inch in diameter, is slidably adjustable in each clamp. The user can rotate the guide rod and set the guide rod at any desired angle. In the preferred embodiment the guide rod is clear plastic material, but it can also be made of wood, metal, opaque plastic or other substantially rigid material.
- The user rotates and adjusts the guide rods and clamps according to indicia disposed on the guide rods thereby guiding him as he shaves or trims a goatee, mustache, or other pattern around his mouth and chin.
- A second embodiment of the present invention includes a second pair of guide rods to guide the user while he shaves and trims the upper and lower edges of a full beard or adjusts the length of his sideburns. A second pair of clamps slidably and rotatably attaches the second pair of guide rods to the first pair of guide rods. The second pair of guide rods is similar in dimension and markings to the first pair of guide rods.
- The tactile nature of the present invention and its disposition proximate to the face and beard contribute to its usefulness for individuals with limited sight.
- Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide an easily used visual guide for shaving and trimming replicable patterns of facial hair about the mouth and chin, such as mustaches and goatees.
- It is another object of the invention to provide an easily used visual guide for shaving and trimming replicable patterns of hair on the face and neck, including beards and sideburns.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a guide for trimming facial hair that allows the user the ability to see the hair to be trimmed as well as the hair to be preserved.
- It is a further object of the invention to provide an easily used tactile guide for trimming facial hair for persons with limited or no sight to guide them in shaving and trimming facial hair and sideburns in replicable patterns.
- It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof in an apparatus for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
- These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
- FIG. 1 is an environmental, perspective view of a guide for trimming facial hair according to the present invention shown on a user's chin with the guide rods positioned for shaving and trimming a moustache or goatee.
- FIG. 2 is an environmental, perspective view of an alternative embodiment of a guide for trimming facial hair according to the present invention shown on a user's chin, the guide having a first guide rod and a second guide rod for shaving and trimming the upper and lower portions of a beard, sideburns, and other predetermined patterns of hair on the face and neck.
- Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
- The present invention, designated generally as10 in the drawings, is a guide to facilitate shaving and trimming facial hair in replicable patterns. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the shaving and
trim guide 10 has a substantiallyoval chin plate 20 held against a user's chin by anelastic strap 22. In its preferred embodiment theplate 20 is made of transparent plastic, but it can also be opaque and made of fabric, leather, or other known material that can form to the chin of a user. Thechin plate 20 has a known thickness, a left and a right side, and aninner surface 34 andouter surface 32. Thechin plate 20 is flexible and the inner surface is adapted follow the contour of a user's chin. Arotatable clamp 12 is permanently affixed to the outer surface of thechin plate 20 proximate to the left and right ends of theplate 20. The two ends ofstrap 22 are permanently attached to the left and right sides ofchin plate 20. Although in its preferred embodiment, thestrap 22 is made of elasticized plastic held tight by abuckle 24, thestrap 22 may be made of any commercially available material including fabric, or leather, and may be fastened with a hook and loop fastener, or other adjustable fastener. - Each
fixed clamp 12 has a single aperture for slidably receiving a rigid, three to fourinch guide rod 14 having a proximal 28 anddistal end 26, one-eighth to one-quarter of an inch in diameter. Athumbscrew 40, or other known means, cooperatively engages therod 14 andchin plate 20 thereby adjustably securing thedistal end 26 of the rod 14 a variable distance from thechin plate 22. Theguide rods 14 have calibratedindicia 30 disposed thereon and may be made of transparent plastic, opaque plastic, wood, metal, or other substantially rigid material. Theguide rods 14 andclamps 12 can be rotated about the base of thefixed clamps 12 and can be set at any selected angle. Theclamp 12 is adjusted to hold aguide rod 14 so that it extends rearward from thechin plate 20 in a direction substantially parallel to the jaw line. The user rotates and slides each calibratedguide rod 14 through a series of predetermined positions while shaving or trimming a specific pattern of facial hair, such as a goatee, mustache, or other pattern, around the mouth or chin. - Referring now to FIG. 2, a second embodiment of the present invention includes a second, or upper pair of
guide rods 18 rotatably and slidably mounted to the first pair ofguide rods 14, to guide shaving and trimming sideburns or the upper and lower edges of a full beard. Theupper rods 18 are rotatably coupled to the previously disclosed first, or lower, pair ofguide rods 14, by means of a pair ofadjustable clamps 16, which are slidably attached to both pairs ofguide rods clamps 16 have two portions, each portion having an aperture for slidably receiving a guide arm, the first portion rotatably coupled to the second portion. Thelower guide rod 14 andupper guide rod 18 can be rotated in parallel planes about the axis of theslidable clamp 16. The upper pair ofrods 18 has substantially similar dimensions and calibratedindicia 30 as the lower pair ofrods 14. - The tactile nature of the
present invention 10 and its disposition proximate to the face and beard contribute to its usefulness for individuals with limited sight. - It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
