APPARATUS FOR REMOVING THE CUT HAIR FROM HAIR CLIPPERS Sept. 29, 1953 I Filed Oct. 17, 1952 INVENTOH ATTORNEYS Patented Sept. 29, 1953 UNITEE STATES PATENT QEFICE APPARATUS FOR REMOVING THE CUT HAIR FROM HAIR CLIPPERS 2 Claims. 1
This invention relates to an apparatus designed for ready attachment to the usual motoroperated hair clippers, the primary object of the invention being to provide means for creating a suction at the cutting blades of the hair clippers, for drawing the cut hair away from the cutting blades, while the clippers are in operation.
Another important object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of this character having means whereby it may be readily and easily strapped onto clippers, means being provided for attaching the apparatus for use on clippers of Various sizes and configurations.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts Without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a plan view illustrating a suction controlled hair removing apparatus attached to clippers and constructed in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 2 is a side elevational view thereof.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the attaching straps of the apparatus.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 5 indicates clippers of the type used by barbers in clipping hair, to which the apparatus forming the subject matter of the present invention is removably secured.
The apparatus comprises a body portion 6 which is elongated and of a width to extend throughout the entire width of the clippers, as shown by Fig. 1 of the drawing.
The forward end of the body portion 6 extends downwardly to fit over the forward curved end 1 of the clippers, the downwardly curved end providing a nozzle 8 which is disposed in close proximity to the cutters 9 of the clippers.
Secured to opposite side edges of the body portion 6, are securing members II] that comprise short supporting rods with their ends held in openings formed in the bearings ll formed on the side edges of the body 6.
These securing members I0 are held in spaced relation with the side edges of the body portion 6 providing clearance for the ends of the straps l2 which are secured to the members In against accidental displacement.
The straps l2 have their ends overlapping, one end of one strap l2 being formed with an elongated opening l3 in which the bolt I4 operates, the bolt I4 being carried by the overlapping end of the opposite strap l2 so that the ends of the straps I2 may be adjusted withrespect to each other and secured to firmly mount the attachment or apparatus on the clippers. The reference character l5 indicates a. guide band which is carried by one strap section l2 and receives the end of the cooperating strap section to securely hold the straps against lateral movement with respect to each other. As shown by Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, the body portion 5 is formed with the tapered end I6 to which a hose I1 is connected, the hose being connected with a suitable suction producing mechanism, not shown, for creating a suction throughout the entire length of the body portion 6, to draw out hair into the body portion 6, from the clippers 5.
With this device it will be obvious that the cut hair may be readily removed at the time of cutting, and carried to a place of deposit, leaving the surface from which the hair has been out free of the cuttings. It might also be stated that the device may be readily and easily attached to the usual clippers without the necessity of making alterations in the clippers construction, in order to mount the attachment.
While I have shown and described the apparatus as used in conjunction with hair clippers used by barbers, it is to be understood that the principle of the invention may be carried out and. used with any type of clippers, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
1. A hair removing apparatus comprising an elongated body portion adapted to be positioned along the upper surface of hair clippers, one end of said body portion being curved laterally providing a nozzle disposed adjacent to the cutting blades of the clippers, securing members extending longitudinally of the side edges of said body portion, and adjustable straps secured to said securing members adapted to extend around the clippers securing the body portion to said clippers.
2. A hair removing apparatus comprising an elongated body portion adapted to be mounted on the upper surface of hair clippers, one end of said body portion being curved laterally provid-' ing a suction nozzle disposed adjacent to the blades of the clippers, securing means for securing the body portion to the clippers, said securing means comprising strap members secured to opposite sides of said body portion, said strap members overlapping providing adjustable straps, and means for securing the adjustable straps in their positions of adjustment around said body portion.
