Patent number: 8549756Abstract: A vibrator motor in a hair clipper has a stationary piece and a moving piece. The stationary piece has a primary leg and at least one secondary leg. The primary leg fits through an opening in a coil. A flange is then press fit onto the leg so that the coil is captured on the primary leg. The flange provides a magnetic pole face that is larger than the opening in the coil, which increases the efficiency of the motor. The flange is press fit in a single operation by pressing a primary prong into a primary socket, and pressing two secondary prongs into secondary sockets. The secondary prongs are guided inwardly as they enter the secondary sockets, which closes the primary socket around the primary prong. A drive arm is secured to an arm of the moving piece. The arm is angled in relation to the drive arm to put even pressure on the moving blade in the hair clipper.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2012Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Wahl Clipper CorporationInventors: Greg A. Heckman, Robert N. Buck, Scott A. Melton, Matthew J. Bowers, Edward D. Brill, Rick L Habben

Patent number: 7239053Abstract: A vibrator motor has a stationary piece and a moving piece hinged at one end. The moving piece does not generate substantial internal spring forces under the influence of an electromagnetic field, because it does not have a tail bracket. Other parts of conventional motors are also eliminated, so the motor is easier and less expensive to manufacture. In addition, the motor can be assembled and tuned before installation, which increases the ability to automate assembly.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2003Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: Wahl Clipper CorporationInventor: Edward D. Brill
