Hair clipping device with rotating bladeset having multiple cutting edges
First Claim
1. A hair clipping device, comprising:
- a housing;
a bladeset including at least one stationary blade and at least one moving blade configured for reciprocal movement relative to said at least one stationary blade;
said at least one stationary blade having a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge, said at least one moving blade including a first moving edge configured for reciprocal movement relative to said first cutting edge, and a second moving edge configured for reciprocal movement relative to said second cutting edge;
said housing defining a cutting location for said blades; and
said bladeset being rotatably engageable on said housing at least between a first position in which said first cutting edge and said first moving edge are disposed at said cutting location, and a second position in which said second cutting edge and said second moving edge are disposed at said cutting location.

Abstract
A hair clipping device includes a housing, a bladeset engageable upon the housing and including at least one stationary blade and at least one moving blade configured for reciprocal movement relative to the at least one stationary blade. The stationary blade has a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge, the at least one moving blade including a first moving edge configured for reciprocal movement relative to the first cutting edge, and a second moving edge configured for reciprocal movement relative to the second cutting edge. The housing defines a cutting location for the blades and the bladeset is rotatably engageable on the housing between a first position in which the first edges are employed, and a second position in which the second edges are employed. The housing encloses an apparatus for creating a vacuum, and defines a vacuum intake.

18. A hair clipping device, comprising:
-
a housing;
a power source enclosed in said housing and having an eccentric drive member extending therefrom;
a blade chassis rotatably engageable on said housing and including a cam follower with a drive chamber engageable with said drive member;
said blade chassis having a bladeset including at least one stationary blade and a pair of moving blades placed in back-to-back orientation relative to each other and configured for reciprocal movement relative to said at least one stationary blade; and
said cam follower being configured for translating eccentric rotation from said drive member into reciprocal linear movement of said moving blades, said cam follower having a blade contact surface with at least one blade engagement formation and at least one leveling rib for exerting uniform force in biasing said at least one moving blade against said at least one stationary blade.

20. A hair clipping device, comprising:
-
a housing enclosing an apparatus for creating a vacuum, and having a vacuum intake;
a blade chassis engageable upon said housing and having a bladeset including at least one stationary blade and at least one moving blade configured for reciprocal movement relative to said at least one stationary blade, said at least one stationary blade has a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge, said at least one moving blade including a first moving edge configured for reciprocal movement relative to said first cutting edge, and a second moving edge configured for reciprocal movement relative to said second cutting edge;
said housing defining a cutting location for said blades and said blade chassis being rotatably engageable on said housing between a first position in which said first cutting edge and said first moving edge are disposed at said cutting location, and a second position in which said second cutting edge and said second moving edge are disposed at said cutting location; and
said cutting location is adjacent to said vacuum intake so that hair clippings generated by the cutting action of said blades are drawn into said vacuum intake regardless of whether said blade chassis is in said first position or said second position. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)

23. A hair clipping device, comprising:
-
a housing;
a bladeset including at least one stationary blade and at least one moving blade configured for reciprocal movement relative to said at least one stationary blade;
said at least one stationary blade having a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge, said at least one moving blade including a first moving edge configured for reciprocal movement relative to said first cutting edge, and a second moving edge configured for reciprocal movement relative to said second cutting edge;
said housing defining a cutting location for said blades;
said bladeset being rotatably engageable on said housing at least between a first position in which said first cutting edge and said first moving edge are disposed at said cutting location, and a second position in which said second cutting edge and said second moving edge are disposed at said cutting location;
a comb assembly being attachable to said housing, said comb assembly including a comb base and a comb member slidably engaged on said base, said comb member engageable on said housing only when said blade chassis is in said first position; and
a locking mechanism configured for releasably securing said comb assembly to said housing and said bladeset in a selected one of said first position and said second position. - View Dependent Claims (24)
