  • Patent number: 12370705
    Abstract: A bladeset for a hair clipper has a stationary blade with a plurality of stationary blade teeth defined along a stationary blade lateral axis and includes first and second outermost stationary blade teeth. A stationary blade midpoint is defined between the first and second outermost stationary blade teeth. The bladeset also has a moving blade with a plurality of moving blade teeth defined along a moving blade lateral axis and includes first and second outermost moving blade teeth. A moving blade midpoint is defined between the first and second outermost moving blade teeth. Preferably, each of the stationary blade teeth and the moving blade teeth define a rake angle along at least one edge of each tooth, and the rake angles of at least one of the stationary blade teeth and the moving blade teeth change gradually from the corresponding blade midpoint to the corresponding outermost tooth.

  • Patent number: 12317789
    Abstract: A trimming machine capable of suppressing damage to a gear when blades are locked, with a simple structure without increasing weight and cost. The trimming machine includes: an electric motor; a blade drive gear rotationally driven by the electric motor; an eccentric cam provided in the gear; and a pair of blades relatively slidably facing and contacting each other, in which the eccentric cam is adapted to reciprocate the pair of blades in relatively opposite directions along the longitudinal direction of the blades, thereby grinding cutting edges against each other, the cutting edges provided in a protruding manner with gaps therebetween in the pair of blades, and a shock absorbing portion is provided between a connecting portion connected to the eccentric cam and the cutting edges in each of the blades.
