Abstract
A hair cutting device with an adjustable blade assembly is provided. A mounting bracket captures at least a portion of a blade assembly and blade bracket extends around the mounting bracket and is adjustable to change the position of the mounting bracket. A magnet is positioned within the mounting bracket to provide a magnetic force between the mounting bracket and the blade bracket. The magnetic force provides a smooth and consistent movement of the mounting bracket relative to the blade bracket and/or blade assembly.

A blade assembly, comprising:
- an outer blade comprising outer blade teeth;
- an inner blade supported relative to the outer blade, the inner blade comprising inner blade teeth having a parallel orientation to the outer blade teeth such that the inner blade teeth are moveable over the outer blade to cut hair;
- a yoke coupled to the inner blade, the yoke configured to move the inner blade relative to the outer blade;
- a mounting bracket configured to guide the yoke;
- a blade bracket extending around the mounting bracket;
- and
- a magnet coupled to the mounting bracket;
- wherein the magnet generates an attractive force between the mounting bracket and the blade bracket.
