Abstract
An electrically operable clipper has a body portion and a head portion, wherein the head portion includes a movable cutter and a fixed comb. The clipper includes an internally located electric motor operable to move the movable cutter. The clipper further includes an operating switch movable between an off position, an operating position and a reset position, wherein the reset position operates a motor reset module of the clipper.
Claims18
An electrically operable clipper having a body portion and a head portion, wherein the head portion includes a movable cutter and a fixed comb, the clipper including an internally located electric motor operable to move the movable cutter, wherein the clipper includes an operating switch movable between an off position, an operating position and a reset position, wherein the reset position operates a motor reset module of the clipper;
- wherein the operating switch includes an internal member and an external member joined to the internal member, wherein the internal member is joined to the external member through a slot of the body portion;
- wherein the external member is provided with a series of connector portions which connect the external member to the internal member;
- and
- wherein the series of connector portions comprise arms that connect to a complementarily shaped location on the internal member.
An electrically operable clipper having a body portion and a head portion, wherein the head portion includes a movable cutter and a fixed comb, the clipper including an internally located electric motor operable to move the movable cutter, wherein the clipper includes an operating switch movable between an off position, an operating position, and a reset position, wherein the reset position operates a motor reset module of the clipper, wherein:
- the operating switch includes an internal member and an external member joined to the internal member, wherein the internal member is joined to the external member through a slot of the body portion;
- the internal member includes a pair of resilient arms which co-operate with opposed ramp formations of the body portion;
- the opposed ramp formations each comprise a plurality of inclined surfaces defining a plurality of peaks and troughs;
- and
- in the reset position, the resilient arms are compressed between facing inclined surfaces of the opposed ramp formations such that compression of the arms provides a restorative force to urge the switch to the off position.
An electrically operable clipper having a body portion and a head portion, wherein the head portion includes a movable cutter and a fixed comb, the clipper including an internally located electric motor operable to move the movable cutter, wherein the clipper includes an operating switch movable between an off position, an operating position, and a reset position, wherein the reset position operates a motor reset module of the clipper, wherein an internal member of the operating switch includes a pair of resilient arms which co-operate with opposed ramp formations of the body portion and an abutment surface which contacts the motor reset module when the switch is in the reset position.
An electrically operable clipper having a body portion and a head portion, wherein the head portion includes a movable cutter and a fixed comb, the clipper including an internally located electric motor operable to move the movable cutter, wherein the clipper includes an operating switch movable between an off position, an operating position and a reset position, wherein the reset position operates a motor reset module of the clipper;
- wherein the operating switch includes an internal member and an external member joined to the internal member, wherein the internal member is joined to the external member through a slot of the body portion;
- and
- wherein the internal member is provided with a guide surface, which, in use, lies against a surface of the reset module.
An electrically operable clipper having a body portion and a head portion, wherein the head portion includes a movable cutter and a fixed comb, the clipper including an internally located electric motor operable to move the movable cutter, wherein the clipper includes an operating switch movable between an off position, an operating position and a reset position, wherein the reset position operates a motor reset module of the clipper;
- wherein the operating switch includes an internal member and an external member joined to the internal member, wherein the internal member is joined to the external member through a slot of the body portion;
- wherein the internal member includes a pair of resilient arms which co-operate with opposed ramp formations of the body portion;
- and
- wherein the internal member has a first end to which the external member is attached, and a second end having the pair of resilient arms.
