Abstract

This invention concerns about an electric hair comb-clipper. It mainly uses a magnetism generator which, by its two magnetic poles, changes the polar of the two poles when AC current is on, enabling the swing block with two poles to swing up and down forcing a movable clipper blade to move back and forth straight as well. Below the movable blade, a comb is attached to the base for combing hair; after hair has been combed by the comb, the base is turned around for 90 degrees to have hair cut off by the movable blade.

Claims

1. A hair cutting tool comprising base means defining a handle and an elongate limb extending from one end of the handle, the limb having upper and lower edges which converge toward a distal end of the limb, the lower edge defining an elongate dovetail element, a comb having a spine with a complimentary dovetail element for receipt by the elongate dovetail element aforesaid, and comb prongs extending from the spine lengthwise thereof, a clipper blade assembly mounted on the upper edge of the limb comprising a fixed upper clipper blade and a reciprocatory lower clipper blade, the blades having cooperating clipper teeth located in a plane substantially perpendicular to a plane containing the prongs of the comb, the upper clipper blade being secured to the limb by screws extending through longitudinal slots in the lower clipper blade to allow lengthwise reciprocation of the lower blade, the limb including apertures with spring plungers therein, the plungers including flat plates received in corresponding recesses formed in the upper edge of the limb, the plates engaging the lower clipper blade and urging same into pressure contact with the upper clipper blade, and the handle including electric drive means for reciprocating the lower blade lengthwise in relation to the upper clipper blade and a connecting arm between the drive means and a proximal end of the lower clipper blade.

2. A tool as defined in claim 1 wherein the drive means comprises a magnetic swing block pivotally mounted in the handle, a pivot connection between the swing block and said arm, and a magnetic force generator and spring means associated with the swing block for pivotally reciprocating same in a manner effective for reciprocating the lower clipper blade lengthwise with respect to the upper clipper blade.
