Abstract
A hair trimmer includes a main body, a cutter block and a comb attachment. The cutter block has a stationary blade and a movable blade, both of which are comb-shaped and are slidably in contact with each other. In addition, the cutter block is protrudingly installed at one end of the main body. The comb attachment has a plurality of comb tooth-shaped sections and covers the cutter block. The comb tooth-shaped sections are provided with cut-off hair deflectors to prevent hairs cut by the cutter block from outwardly scattering away from the comb attachment. Furthermore, cut-off hair deflectors located between two neighboring comb tooth-shaped sections are disposed at relatively inner and outer positions.
Claims21
A hair trimmer comprising:
- a main body;
- a cutter block having a stationary blade and a movable blade, both of which are comb-shaped and are slidably in contact with each other, the cutter block being protrudingly installed at one end of the main body;
- and
- a comb attachment having a plurality of comb tooth-shaped sections,
- wherein the cutter block is accommodated in the comb attachment;
- wherein the comb tooth-shaped sections are provided with cut-off hair deflectors each having substantially the same size and extending along a length of the comb tooth-shaped sections from a first end portion to an opposed second end portion thereof to introduce hairs into the comb attachment while preventing hairs cut by the cutter block from outwardly scattering away from the comb attachment;
- and
- wherein surfaces of all the hair deflectors viewed in a direction from an opposite side of the cutter block with respect to the comb tooth-shaped sections are inclined with respect to the view direction, the view direction being perpendicular to a direction of the length of the comb tooth-shaped sections and a sliding direction of the movable blade, and the cut-off hair deflectors located between two neighboring comb tooth-shaped sections are disposed at different distances from the cutter block with respect to each other.

- wherein each of the cut-off hair deflectors is projected from one of said two neighboring comb tooth-shaped sections toward the other of said two neighboring comb tooth-shaped sections and
- wherein surfaces of all the hair deflectors viewed in a view direction from an opposite side of the cutter block with respect to the comb tooth-shaped sections are inclined with respect to the view direction, the view direction being perpendicular to a direction of the length of the comb tooth-shaped sections and a sliding direction of the movable blade and the cut-off hair deflectors located between two neighboring comb tooth-shaped sections being disposed at different distances from the cutter block with respect to each other.
