Abstract: An air flow deflector which may be retrofit onto an existing hair or animal fur hand clipper. Deflector attaches to the clipper by various means to cover existing air flow channels or air vents on the clipper and directs the clipper motor cooling air away from the clipper. The deflector prevents hair and fur from being blown by such air vents in random directions during use of the clipper by redirecting the existing cooling air away from the clipper housing in a preferred direction. Retrofitting existing clippers is accomplished by attaching the deflector on the clipper over existing vents.

Abstract: A motor cooling air flow deflector comprises a channel over at least one of the air flow outlet vents for electric motor cooling air from the periphery or circumference of a generally cylindrical housing of a clipper. The channel may be an inverted U-shaped structure having a span covering at least 120 degrees of the housing, and preferably more than 180 degrees. The inverted U-shaped structure is provided with a downwardly directed first end with a flared input and a second end with a vane for directing air flow out of the channel and backwardly along the housing of the clipper. The channel is adapted to conform to the variations in the generally cylindrical shape of the housing. The air flow deflector may be an attachment to an existing clipper or it may be fabricated or molded into the housing of a clipper.
