Abstract
An adjusting device for adjusting a blade of a hair trimmer where the blade of the hair trimmer has a dynamic cutter blade and a static comb blade. The adjusting device comprises a base, an adjuster pivotably connected to the base, a locator for locating the blade and a biasing means for biasing the blade against the adjuster. The adjuster has a comb-contacting face at a first radial distance from its rotation axis while a cutter-adjusting face is at a second radial distance from the rotation axis, the second radial distance being larger than the first radial distance. By rotating the adjuster, a clearance is created between the cutter blade and the comb blade.
Claims11
An adjusting device for adjusting a blade of a hair trimmer, the blade having a dynamic cutter blade and a static comb blade, the device comprising:
- a base, the base having a transversal axis, a longitudinal axis and a receiving surface for receiving the comb blade;
- an adjuster, the adjuster having a comb-contacting face and a cutter-adjusting face, the adjuster being pivotably connected to the base through a pivot having a rotation axis, the rotation axis being parallel with the transversal axis of the base, the comb-contacting face being at a first radial distance from the rotation axis and the cutter-adjusting face being at a second radial distance from the rotation axis, the second radial distance being larger than the first radial distance;
- a locator, the locator being connected to the base and being movable along the longitudinal axis of the base, the locator having a receiving portion configured to receive and to locate a non-cutting extremity of the blade;
- and
- a biasing means, the biasing means being operable to bias the comb blade against the comb-contacting face of the adjuster via the locator,
- wherein the cutter-adjusting face is operable to displace the cutter blade with respect to the comb blade by pivoting the adjuster around the rotation axis.
