Mounting bracket for hair trimmers

A hair trimmer comprising a body, a cutting assembly including a reciprocable cutter, drive means supported by said body for reciprocating said cutter and including a drive member being reciprocable along an axis, hinge means supported by said body for pivotably supporting said cutting assembly for movement between a first position wherein said drive member operably engages said cutter and a second position spaced from said first position, and means for restricting movement of said drive member in a direction away from said axis when said cutting assembly moves to said first position from said second position, said means for restricting movement of said drive member including a bridge extending generally parallel to said axis.

A hair trimmer comprising a body, a cutting assembly including a reciprocable cutter, drive means supported by said body for reciprocating said cutter and including a drive member having wherein said drive member a portion extending from said body, hinge means supported by said body for pivotably supporting said cutting assembly for movement between a first position wherein said drive member operably engages said cutter and a second position spaced from said first position, and means for restricting movement of said drive member in a direction away from said axis when said cutting assembly moves to said first position from said second position, said means for restricting movement of said drive member including a retainer portion surrounding said portion of said drive member when said cutting assembly is in said first position.

A hair trimmer comprising a body, a cutting assembly including a reciprocable cutter and a wall having a pair of spaced-apart surfaces, drive means supported by said body for reciprocating the cutter, and hinge means supported by said body for supporting said cutting assembly, and including a tongue supporting said cutting assembly and being pivotable between a first position wherein said drive member operably engages said cutter and a second position spaced from said first position and including a pair of members respectively engageable with said spaced-apart surfaces when said tongue is in said first position, and means including a bridge extending between said members for preventing relative movement of said pair of members when said tongue moves to said first position from said second position.

A hair trimmer comprising a body, a cutting assembly including a reciprocable cutter, drive means supported by said body for reciprocating said cutter and including a drive member having a portion extending from said body, hinge means supported by said body for pivotably supporting said cutting assembly for movement between a first position wherein said drive member operably engages said cutter and a second position spaced from said first position, and a retainer fixed to said body and engageable with said drive member portion independently of said cutter assembly when said cutting assembly is in said first position.

A hair trimmer comprising a body, a cutting assembly including a reciprocable cutter, drive means supported by said body for reciprocating said cutter and including a drive member having a portion extending from said body, hinge means supported by said body for pivotably supporting said cutting assembly for movement between a first position wherein said drive member operably engages said cutter and a second position spaced from said first position, said hinge means including means for removably supporting said cutting assembly, and a retainer fixed to said body and engageable with said drive member portion when said cutting assembly is in said first position.

A hair trimmer comprising a body, a cutting assembly including a cutter reciprocable along an axis, drive means supported by said body for reciprocating said cutter and including a drive member having a portion extending from said body, hinge means supported by said body for pivotably supporting said cutting assembly for movement between a first position wherein said drive member operably engages said cutter and a second position spaced from said first position, and a retainer fixed to said body and engageable with said drive member portion when said cutting assembly is in said first position, said retainer including a bridge extending generally parallel to said axis in closely spaced relation to said drive member portion.

A hair trimmer comprising a body, a cutting assembly including a reciprocable cutter defining a drive socket, drive means supported by said body for reciprocating said cutter and including a drive member moveable along an axis and engageable with said socket, hinge means supported by said body for pivotably supporting said cutting assembly for movement between a first position wherein said drive member operably is operable engageable with said cutter when said drive member and said drive socket are aligned and a second position spaced from said first position, and means independent of said cutter assembly and engageable with said drive means for restricting movement of said drive member in a direction away from said axis when said cutting assembly moves toward said first position from said second position and in the event of misalignment of said drive socket and said drive member.
