Abstract
An electric hair cutting device includes a stationary comb-type blade and an oscillating comb-type blade that is driven with a reciprocating movement against the stationary blade. A magnetically-driven oscillation generator is connected to the oscillating blade to impart a reciprocating movement to the blade through a structure that eliminates the need for drive power conversion components.
Claims28
An electric hair clipper comprising:
- a hair shearing mechanism including a comb-shaped stationary blade and an oscillating blade that reciprocates along and in contact with a surface of said stationary blade;
- and
- a magnetic oscillation generator that transfers oscillating movement to a drive member connected to said oscillating blade.
A method of increasing efficiency an electric hair clipper and minimizing noise and vibration observed by a user of the electric hair clipper, comprising:
- providing an electric hair clipper having a hair shearing mechanism including a comb-shaped stationary blade and an oscillating blade that reciprocates along and in contact with a surface of said stationary blade;
- providing a magnetic oscillation generator;
- and
- transferring oscillating movement to a drive member connected to said oscillating blade by said magnetic oscillation generator.
