Abstract: An appliance charging stand is provided, including a housing with an upper portion defining a receptacle for an appliance, a base connected to the upper portion and having a peripheral edge. A swiveling jack defines a power cord connection socket and is rotatably secured between the upper portion and the base to swivel about a vertical axis between a first position and a second position.

Abstract: A hair clipper includes a motor with a rotary output shaft, a bladeset including a stationary blade and a moving blade configured for reciprocation relative to the stationary blade, a drive system configured for transferring motion from the output shaft to the bladeset, and including a driving member moving linearly along an axis transverse to a longitudinal axis of the clipper.

Abstract: An interlocking stand for storing and charging a rechargeable appliance such as a hair trimmer or hair clipper having a rechargeable battery includes a structure for supporting the appliance for storage. The supporting structure has at least one electrical contact for connecting to the appliance and a structure for providing power to the contact. The interlocking stand is also provided with structure that interlocks the stand with at least one other stand.

Abstract: A hair clipper includes a handle portion having a drive end with a first coupler formation, and a blade assembly. The blade assembly includes a housing at least partially enclosing a reciprocating blade and a fixed blade, and having a top, bottom, and at least two sides joining the top and bottom. Integrally joined to and extending away from the bottom of the housing is a second coupler formation for engaging the first coupler formation. The first and second coupler formations form a releasable connection which inhibits movement of the blade assembly with respect to the handle portion when the two coupler formations are engaged.
