Shearing head for an animal shearing machine and an animal shearing machine

Shearing head for an animal shearing machine, comprising an upper blade and a lower blade, wherein the upper blade is movable relative to the lower blade, a pressure control device, and a reinforcement;

• the pressure control device comprising a rotatable control knob with
• which a pressure of the upper blade on the lower blade is settable, a pressure
• indicator pin disposed coaxially with respect to the control knob and movable in
• a translational way, and a spacer screw disposed coaxially with respect to the control knob and freely movable in a translational way;
• the reinforcement being disposed between the spacer screw and the pressure indicator pin;
• the reinforcement comprising a pusher and a lever, the lever being positioned between the pusher and the pressure indicator pin, the pusher being connected to the spacer screw and having an inclined surface with respect to a longitudinal axis of the spacer screw;
• the pressure indicator pin being at least partially visible to a
• user of the shearing head, an axial position of the pressure indicator pin relative
• to the control knob being dependent upon the pressure of the upper blade on
• the lower blade that is set with the pressure control device.
