is also made with a double. row of teeth and v rests upon a stationary cutter, E, being'clamped thereon by the clampingscrew F and the nut G, which screw passes through the cap A. Thefcap A is secured to one of the handles A, and is provided at each end with extensions or pins A, the upper portions of which are made square and the lower parts ronnd,whi'ch` latter fit into holes e inthe stationary cutterplate E, holding it against lateral displace. ment, and the square or upper parts. pass through the slot Ds in the upper `or reciproeating cutter-plate, D, insuring its being properly guided over the stationary plate. Near the ends of the cap and on each-side of the clamping-screw are recesses A, into which anti-friction rollers or cylinders C are placed, .and retained therein'by the edges .Aa being bent over, as shown in Fig. 9.- When the nut G is turned the cutter D is pressed against the rollers C, and when said plate is reciprocated by the handle Bthe working-contact between the cap and the said cutter is, made Ath rough the said anti-friction rollers, thereby reducing the friction to a minimum and enabling the largest clippers made to be, operated with as much vease as the smallest as now constructed. rIhe cap A is recessed, as at O,

and is provided with a downwardly-projecting tubular extension or bushing, A, upon which f the lever B is pivoted, and through which bushing the clamping-screw F passes. This- ,r prevents any wear upon the handle or lever .rounded by a roller (see Fig. 5^) to reduce fric-A and increases the bearing, makingthe parts' more durable. The bush `A may be surtion.

The lever B is provided with the bearing portion K, through which the tubular extension extends, and is'provided with the cutteractuating pin B, which projects downward into the oblique slot .D of the cutter-plate D,-

- being located to the rear and to one side of the pivotal point.

The reciprocating cutter-plate D is provided with aslot, D, through which the clampingscrewF passes, and upon each side of saidening the cutterfplate, the peculiar angle given to it enables a larger movement to be given to' the cutter with a given movement of the leve-r or handle than is possible with the construction in which the slots are .arranged in direct line. It is evident that so far as the anti-friction rollers or the construction of pivoting the handles orlevers together are concerned,

the remaining parts .may be modified or changed .to suit the ideas of the manufacturer, as these parts are clearly applicable to other makes of hair-clippers. i

Having now described' our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The cap A, formed with or having the hanging hollow bush or cylinder A and a surrounding collar, in combination with the handle B and the binding-screw F, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. In a hair-clipping machine, the combinationof the stationary cutter having holes e nearits lateral ends, the reciprocating cutter resting thereonand having guide-slots D, a stationary cap having projecting pins A" exvtending down through the slots D aud into the holes e, whereby the reciprocating cutter is guided uponthe stationary cutter, anti-'fric- 8' tion rollers arranged between the cap and reciprocating cutter-plate and clos'e to the pins, a clamping-screw extending through the cutters and cap and arranged in line with the guide-pins A6 and rollers, a lever to hold the stationary cutter and cap, and a lever to reciprocate the movable cutter, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a hair-clipping machine, the combination of astationary cutter, a reciprocating cut- 9 ter resting thereon, astationary cap, anti-fric tion rollers arranged between the stationary -cap and .reciprocating cutter and near the lateral ends thereof, and a clampingscrew arranged through the cap and cutter-plates and .within the area included between' the ends of the anti-friction rollers, whereby the clamping eect shall come within such area and cause the cap to press flat upon the rollers, creating auniforln wear over their surface and their surfaces of contact, substantially as shown and described. Y

4. In a hairclipping` machine, the cap, in combination with anti-friction rollers, the said cap having retaining-edges which extend over I lo the said rollers and prevent their falling'out of. the cap when the parts of the clippers are separated, substantially as and for the purpose specified.l

5. The combination of the cap A, having r i 5 pins A, and tubular projection A3, with levels BK, having pin B, stationarycuttenplate E, having holes for reception of. pins A, reciproeating cutter-plate D, having central slot, D4, oblique slots D, and end guide-slots D3, tight- :zo ening-screw F, and nut G, substantially asand for the purpose specified. l

6. In a hair-clipping machine, the combination of astationary cutter, a reciprocating cutter, a cap secured to one lever and having a downwardly extending tubular projection, supports between the ends of the cap and relciprocating cutter to hold the cap-body clear of the cutter, a clamping-screw extending y through said tubular projection to clamp the 13o cutters and cap together, and a piirotedlever In testimony of which invention we hereunto for operating the reciprocating cutter, jourset our hands.
