Abstract
A hair length mapping or cutting device uses multiple comb elements to capture bunches of hair as it is traversed across a scalp. The comb elements are traversed away from the scalp to individually measure or cut each bunch of hair to length. Hair may be cut to conform to a hair style mapped, for instance, from an earlier measurement of a hair style.
Claims18
A hair length cutting device configured to cut hair on a substrate to a length, the hair length cutting device comprising:
- a body having a first end for engagement with the substrate in use;
- at least one hair retaining comb shaped to slidably entrain at least one hair adjacent the substrate and being retractable via translation from the first end while retaining slidably entrained hair;
- a cutting device configured to cut the at least one hair slidably entrained by the at least one hair retaining comb to a desired length;
- and
- a motor, wherein the at least one hair retaining comb is retractable under the control of the motor.
A hair length cutting device configured to cut hair on a substrate to a length, the hair length cutting device comprising:
- a body having a first end for engagement with the substrate in use;
- at least one hair retaining comb shaped to slidably entrain at least one hair adjacent the substrate and being retractable in a substantially longitudinal direction from the first end while retaining slidably entrained hair;
- a cutting device configured to cut the at least one hair slidably entrained by the at least one hair retaining comb to a desired length;
- and
- a motor, wherein the at least one hair retaining comb is retractable under the control of the motor.
A hair length measuring and cutting device for measuring and/or cutting hair on a substrate, the hair length measuring and cutting device comprising:
- a body having a first end for engagement with the substrate in use;
- at least one hair retaining comb shaped to slidably entrain at least one hair adjacent the substrate and being retractable in a substantially longitudinal direction from the first end while retaining slidably entrained hair;
- a measuring device configured to measure a length of the at least one hair slidably entrained by the at least one hair retaining comb;
- a cutting device configured to cut the at least one hair slidably entrained by the at least one hair retaining comb to a desired length;
- and
- a motor, wherein the at least one hair retaining comb is retractable under the control of the motor.
