Abstract: A hair cutting apparatus, including a chassis to support a motor to drive a cutting blade, the apparatus comprising a rotary ring, including an inner circumferential surface, rotatably mounted on said chassis, a threaded screw, constrained within said chassis against non-rotational movement, having a head including an outer circumferential surface to engage with the inner circumferential surface of the rotary ring and a shaft including threads, the threaded screw rotating in response to the rotation of the rotary ring, a longitudinal positioner, having a socket including threads to engage with said threads of the threaded screw, to move in a longitudinal direction relative to the cutting blade in accordance with the rotation of the threaded screw, and a hair engagement comb coupled with said longitudinal positioner to position hair to be cut by the cutting blade.

Abstract: A dual ended hair remover which includes a casing having a motor, an epilating head for plucking hairs from the skin of a user attached to one end of the casing, a depilating head for cutting the hairs from the skin of the user attached to the other end of the casing, and a handle which covers one of the epilating and depilating heads while providing power to the other one of the epilating and depilating heads. The handle fits over one or the other end of the casing and provides power to the head which is not covered. The handle may also simultaneously provide power to the head which is covered. The handle protects the user and the unused head by covering the unused head and provides power to at least the head which is in use. Further, by incorporating the epilating and depilating heads on the casing at the same time and at opposite ends, ease of use is obtained. Still further, in the instances that only the head which is in use is being driven, power conservation is achieved.
