Abstract
The invention is directed to a power driven hair clipper (HSM), comprising a drive mechanism provided in a housing (1) and a clipper head (S) equipped with a clipper comb (3) and a clipper blade (4, 82) and mounted on said housing (1) for pivotal motion about a pivot axis (Z), wherein the clipper comb (3) is in cooperating relationship with two clipper blades (4, 82), each being adapted to be coupled with a drive member (12) of the drive mechanism according to the pivot position of the clipper head (S) relative to the housing (1).

A power driven hair clipper (HSM), comprising a drive mechanism provided in a housing (1) and a clipper head (S) equipped with a clipper comb (3) and a clipper blade (4, 82) and mounted on said housing (1) for pivotal motion about a pivot axis (Z), characterized in that the clipper comb (3) is in cooperating relationship with two clipper blades (4, 82), each being adapted to be coupled with a drive member (12) of the drive mechanism according to the pivot position of the clipper head (S) relative to the housing (1).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that one end of the housing (1) is constructed in a U-shaped yoke configuration, and the housing shell is pivotally mounted on yoke arms (6, 7) of the housing (1) by means of pivot bearings.
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the pivot bearings are formed by cooperating conical bearing elements (16, 17, 18, 19).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a bearing pin (26, 27) passes through the conical bearing.
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the bearing pin (26, 27) is movable against the pressure of at least one spring element (28, 29).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the clipper head (S) is releasably attached to the supporting element (5) by means of a locking device (9, 10).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a chassis (48) is fastenable to the clipper comb (3) having two rows of cutting teeth (40, 41).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the chassis (48) is provided with at least one locking device (9, 10) having a latching element (78, 79) movable against the pressure of a spring element (107).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one latching element (38, 39) for the locking device (9, 10) is arranged on the supporting element (5).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the pivot range of the clipper head (S) is limitable by stops.
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said stops are formed by wall elements (90, 91, 92, 93).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the pivot range of the clipper head (S) is locatable by means of a detent device (RV).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the detent device (RV) is formed by at least one notch (recess 102) and one detent element (101) adapted to be acted upon by a spring element (100).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the spring element (100) and the detent element (101) are provided in the housing, and the notch (recess 102) is provided on an outer wall of the supporting element (5).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the clipper head (S) with the housing shell of the supporting element (5) is pivotally mounted inside a housing head shell (20) of the housing (1) on the wall of the housing head shell (20).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the directions of extension of the wall of the housing (1) on either side of the pivot bearings are each aligned parallel to a maximal pivot angle of the clipper head (S).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the chassis (48) is arranged on a foil (47) resting on the clipper comb (3).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the end of the clipper blade (4, 82) on the side remote from a row of cutting teeth (42, 43) is slidably held on the foil (47).
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the foil (47) is provided with a perforation.
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the perforation is used as a receptacle for a lubricant.
The hair clipper as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the perforation is formed by holes.
