HAIR CUTTING ATTACHMENT TO ELECTRIC RAZOR Filed Nov. 14. 1966 4 INVENTOR Arthur A. W. Olson ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,392,444 HAIR CUTTING ATTACHMENT TO ELECTRIC RAZOR Arthur A. W. Olson, 207 3rd Ave. NW., Mandan, N. Dak. 58554 Filed Nov. 14, 1966, Ser. No. 594,045 2 Claims. (CI. 3090) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention comprises a hair cutting device having a frame adapted to be mounted over the head of an electric razor, said frame having a front face at an angle to the front face of the electric razor to provide a tapered hair cut, a pair of relatively fiat elongated combs mounted on opposite sides of the frame, said combs having their teeth projecting outwardly with their teeth pointed in outwardly opposing relation in directions laterally of and parallel to the inclination of the front face of said frame and act to align the hair evenly in advance of the electric razor, a pair of adjustable guides are mounted on the top and bottom of the frame and are independently adjustable to adjust the angle of the taper.
This invention relates to cutting equipment, more particularly the invention relates to hair cutting devices.
It is an object of this invention to provide a novel hair trimming device which may be mounted to the front of an electric razor and which will trim or cut the hair around the side of the head to provide a tapered hair cut.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a novel hair trimming or cutting device which may be attached to an electric shaver or razor to provide a tapered hair cut.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as the description proceeds and when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view showing the hair trimming invention in operative position on the side of the head of a person.
FIGURE 2 is a front elevational view of the hair trimming invention.
FIGURE 3 is a top plan view of the hair trimming invention.
FIGURE 4 is a side elevational view of the hair trimming invention.
FIGURE 5 is a cross-sectional exploded view of the hair trimming invention.
Briefly stated, the invention comprises a hair trimming device comprising a frame adapted to be attached to the head of an electric razor, a pair of combs mounted on opposite sides of the frame with the teeth pointed outward in opposed relation, said frame slanting upward and forward away from the head of the razor, so that when the razor, with the device attached thereto, is moved generally horizontally about the side of the head of a person, it will trim the hair of the person at an angle or taper and the combs will act to align the hair evenly for cutting, wire structure extending zig zag across the front of the frame acts further to align the hair evenly for cutting.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, in FIG- URE 1, the hair trimming or cutting invention 19 is illustrated in operative position on the side of the head of a person 20, the invention 19 has a frame 21, with combs 22 and 23 mounted on opposite sides.
A conventional electric razor 24 is mounted into the rectangular frame 21 in complementary relation. The cutting heads 25 of the razor have their front cutting faces running along a vertical plane 26 with reference to FIG- URE 4, while the front face 26 of the frame runs along a forwardly inclined plane 27, so that the front face of the frame diverges gradually away from the front face of the cutting heads of the razor.
The rectangular frame 21, has a pair of side walls 28 and 29 which fit flush against the side of the head of the razor and a pair of inclined top walls 30 and 31 which also fit flush against the top and bottom of the head of the razor. A pair of plates 32 and 33 are slidably mounted to the top and bottom Walls 30 and 31 respectively of the frame. The plates 32 and 33 each have a screw 34 and curved washer 34 to provide a frictional drag on the movement of the plates to tend to retain the plates in the adjusted position. The plates 32 and 33 may be slid independently forward and rearward from the position illustrated in solid lines in FIGURE 4 to their position shown in dashed lines 32' and 33' in FIGURE 4, further adjust the angle of the frame cutting face 26 of the razor with reference to the head of the person whose hair is being cut. Ridges 35 are formed on the bottom and top walls 30 and 31 on opposite sides of the plates 32 and 33 to guide the plates.
A series of diagonal wires 36 are mounted across the front face 26 of the frame to form a zig-zag pattern. The wires 36 are mounted in the plane of the front face, and extend across the front faces of the heads of the razor and act to align the hair evenly of the person whose hair is being cut.
Operation To operate the hair cutting invention 19, the device 19 will be placed in the position illustrated in FIGURE 1 near the temple of the person and will be moved generally horizontally rearward past the ear and downward with the teeth of the comb 22 pointed in the direction of movement of the device and with the device normally following parallel to and along the intended hair line of the person. The front face or plane 27 of the frame will be generally parallel to the plane of the side of the head of the person, while the front face or plane 26 of the head of the razor will diverge upward and outward away from the side of the head of the person and thereby the cutting heads of the razor will cut a taper to the hair as the device moves along its path.
The comb 22 will act to align the hair evenly in front of the razor head for an even cut and the zig-zag wires will further act to align the hair evenly for a smooth cut.
When cutting the hair along the opposite side of the persons head, the other comb 23 will form the leading edge and act to align the hair evenly for a smooth cut.
The plate 32 may be slid outwardly to increase the angle of the taper. The plate 33 may be slid outward to decrease the angle of the taper. Also, by sliding the plates 32 and 33 outward the depth of the hair cut may be decreased. The outer edges 32 and 33' of the plates when the plates are projected out beyond the front face of the frame will run along the side of the head of the person whose hair is being cut, and will thereby determine theangle of the cutting face of the razor relative to the head of the person and thereby determine the taper of the hair cut.
The frame 21 may be fixed to the front casing 34 of the conventional razor and if the front casing is removable, then the frame 21 will be removed with the front casing. Alternatively, the frame 21 may be frictionally mounted to the front casing 34 of the razor and detachable from the front casing.
Thus, it will be seen that a novel hair trimming attachment has been provided for an electric razor or shaver which may be operated to cut the hair of a person with a hair being cut with the customary tapered cut.
It will be apparent that various changes and departures may 'be made to the invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof and accordingly it is not intended that the invention be limited to that specifically described in the specification or illustrated in the drawing but only as set forth in the appended claims wherein:
What is claimed is:
1. A hair cutting device comprising a frame adapted to be mounted over the head of an electric razor, said frame having a front face at an angle to the front face of the electric razor to provide a tapered hair cut, a pair of relatively flat elongated combs mounted on opposite sides of the frame, said combs having their teeth projecting outwardly with their teeth pointed in outwardly opposing relation in directions laterally of and parallel to the inclination of the front face of said frame and act to align the hair evenly in advance of the electric razor, a pair of adjustable guides are mounted on the top and bottom of the frame and are independently adjustable to adjust the angle of the taper.
2. A hair cutting device according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of zig-zag wires are mounted across the front of the frame to align the hair for cutting by the razor.
