Mounting assembly

Abstract

According to an aspect, there is provided a mounting assembly 20 for a hair cutting appliance 10, the mounting assembly comprising: a head 24 configured to receive a cutting unit 14; a base 22 coupled to the head; a pivoting mechanism 30 coupling the base to the head, wherein the pivoting mechanism is configured to permit pivoting movement of the head relative to the base about a head pivot axis 50; and a rotatable locking element 40 configured to be rotated between: an engaged position, in which the locking element obstructs pivoting movement of the head to thereby lock the head in a locked position about the head pivot axis, and a disengaged position in which the locking element does not obstruct pivoting movement of the head such that the head is freely pivotable relative to the base about the head pivot axis; wherein the locking element is configured such that rotating the locking element to the engaged position drives the head into the locked position.
