Comb attachment and hair cutting appliance

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a comb attachment (130) for a hair cutting appliance (100) as well as a hair cutting appliance (100). The comb attachment (130) comprises: a frame portion (131) enclosing a cutting area (A) that is adapted to at least partially receive a cutting unit (120) of the hair cutting appliance (100), an attachment means (132) extending from the frame portion (131) away from the cutting area (A), the attachment means (132) having at least one attachment point adapted to attach the comb attachment (130) to the hair cutting appliance (100), a sidewall (133) extending from the frame portion (131) in a common direction with the attachment means (132), a set of first teeth (134) at least partially extending along the cutting area (A) from the frame portion (131) in a first teeth extending direction that at least partially corresponds to a cutting direction (C) during hair cutting, the first teeth (134) are spaced from each other in a teeth spacing direction that is perpendicular to the first teeth extending direction, thereby forming a respective gap (G) between the individual first teeth (134), a gap cover (135) extending in sections from the sidewall (133) and adapted to cover the respective gap (G) of the first teeth (134), the sidewall (133) and the gap cover (135) forming an enclosed space (136) adapted to at least temporarily collect cut hair debris during hair cutting, wherein the sidewall (133) extends over a height that overlaps with the at least one attachment point of the attachment means (132), the at least one attachment point being arranged so that the sidewall (133) overlaps with a section of the hair cutting appliance (100) when the comb attachment (130) is attached thereto via the attachment means (132), and wherein the gap cover (135) and the sidewall (133), with respect to the cutting direction (C), are arranged at a rear of the frame portion (131).
