Abstract
A trimming assembly for dreadlocks comprises a handle. A cutting head is operatively connected to the handle. The cutting head comprises a cutting head body defining a receptacle at a radial end thereof. The receptacle is structured to receive a dreadlock. A blade protector is positioned axially within the receptacle. A curvature of the blade protector corresponds to a curvature of an inner wall of the receptacle. A blade is interposed between the blade protector and the inner wall. The blade defines a cutting edge at an axial end thereof proximate to the handle. The cutting edge is structured to cut loose hair protruding outwards from the dreadlock as the cutting head is moved along the dreadlock.
Claims20
A cutting head for trimming dreadlocks, the cutting head comprising:
- a cutting head body comprising:
- a head portion defining:
- an outer wall;
- and
- an inner wall offset from the outer wall, the inner wall having a curvature and a perimetral length, the inner wall extending between a first upper end and a second lower end opposite the first upper end, the inner wall defining a receptacle, the receptacle centered on a first axis;
- and
- a handle extending from the head portion, the handle extending along a second axis, the second axis offset from the first axis, wherein a gap is formed between the second lower end of the inner wall and the handle;
- and
- a blade coupled to the inner wall of the head portion within the receptacle and having a complementary curvature to the curvature of the inner wall, the blade comprising a first cutting edge located proximate to one of the first, upper end, and the second, lower end of the inner wall, the first cutting edge defining a first length corresponding to the perimetral length of the inner wall of the head portion, and the first cutting edge having the complementary curvature.
A cutting head for a trimming assembly, the cutting head comprising:
- a head portion defining:
- an outer wall;
- and
- an inner wall offset from the outer wall, the inner wall having a curvature and a perimetral length, the inner wall extending between a first upper end and a second lower end, the second lower end opposite the first upper end, the inner wall defining a receptacle, the receptacle centered on a first axis;
- a handle extending from the head portion, the handle extending along a second axis, the second axis offset from the first axis, the offset of the first axis and the second axis configured to enable the receptacle to be accessed from the first upper end and the second lower end;
- and
- a blade assembly coupled to the inner wall and having a complementary curvature to the curvature of the inner wall, the blade assembly comprising:
- a first cutting edge located proximate to the first, upper end, the first cutting edge defining a first length less than or equal to the perimetral length of the inner wall;
- and
- a second cutting edge located proximate to the second, lower end, the second cutting edge defining a second length less than or equal to the perimetral length of the inner wall of the receptacle.
A trimming device comprising:
- a head portion defining:
- an outer wall;
- and
- an inner wall offset from the outer wall, the inner wall having a curvature and a perimeter, the inner wall extending between a first end and a second end, the first end opposite the second end, the inner wall defining a receptacle, the receptacle centered on a first axis;
- and
- a handle extending from the head portion, the handle extending along a second axis, the second axis offset from the first axis, the offset of the first axis and the second axis configured to enable the receptacle to be accessed from the first end and the second end;
- a blade coupled to the inner wall having a blade curvature corresponding to the inner wall, the blade comprising:
- a first cutting edge located proximate to one of the first end and the second end, the first cutting edge defining a length equal to or less than the perimeter of the inner wall.
