Abstract
A hair clipper having a pivoting clipper head is provided. The hair clipper has a clipper head, a handle and connectors for connecting the handle and the head. The clipper head has a cutting assembly located thereon. The handle has a longitudinal axis, a motor and a drive shaft driven by the motor. The connectors connect the clipper head and the handle such that the clipper head pivots about an axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle.
Claims20
An improved hair clipper comprising:
- a clipper head including a stationary blade having teeth and a reciprocating blade having teeth, wherein the teeth of the stationary blade are substantially parallel to the teeth of the reciprocating blade forming a cutting edge;
- a handle having a longitudinal axis and means for reciprocating the reciprocating blade such that hair positioned within the teeth of the stationary blade are cut by the teeth of the reciprocating blade;
- and
- means for connecting the clipper head and the handle such that the clipper head pivots about an axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle and parallel to the cutting edge.

A hair clipper comprising:
- a clipper head including pivot points positioned on opposite sides of the head, a stationary blade having teeth and a reciprocating blade having teeth, wherein the teeth of the stationary blade are substantially parallel to the teeth of the reciprocating blade forming a cutting edge;
- and
- a handle having a longitudinal axis, a pair of legs, a connector disposed on each leg, and means for reciprocating the reciprocating blade such that hair positioned within the teeth of the stationary blade are cut by the teeth of the reciprocating blade,
