Patent number: 5113957Abstract: A control device controls the draft for moving the working machine, such as a plow, up or down. The working machine is mounted on a tractor by way of a hydraulic lifting device which is adjusted to the tilling depth predetermined by a tilling depth setter which depends on the increase or decrease of traction resistance detected by a draft sensor. When the lifting machine is changed from the ascending position to the descending position, the draft control function is stopped for a specified short time or a specified short distance to lower the working machine quickly. However, the quick lowering of the working machine is inhibited when the relationship between the detected value by the draft sensor and the preset value by the tilling depth setter is not at the descending position of the working machine.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 1989Date of Patent: May 19, 1992Assignee: Isekinoki Kabushiki Kaisha GijutsubuInventors: Seishin Tamai, Yoshinori Doi, Masakatsu Araki

Patent number: 5050304Abstract: A hair clipper includes a cutter head and a hair entrapping member which is movable toward and away from a cutting edge of the cutter head. The cutter head comprises a stationary blade with a toothed edge defining a cutting edge of the cutter head and a movable blade with a like toothed edge. The movable blade is driven to reciprocate in shearing engagement between the toothed edges of the stationary and movable blades for shearing hairs therebetween. The hair entrapping member is preferably in the form of a comb which is movable between an open position and a closed position. In the open position the comb is spaced away from the cutting edge of the cutter head, thus permitting hairs to enter between the comb and the cutting edge. In the closed position, the comb is held close to the cutting edge to thereby seize the hairs therebetween for shearing the hairs.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1989Date of Patent: September 24, 1991Assignee: Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd.Inventors: Shoji Fujikawa, Masakatsu Araki, Shinichiro Tsujimura

Patent number: 4888870Abstract: A hair trimmer includes a cutting head 20 with an outer shearing foil 21 and an inner cutter 30 in hair shearing engagement with the shearing foil 21. The cutting head 20 is characterizee to have a hair guide surface 24 on its top and a skin engaging comb 40 for contact with the skin of the user. A number of hair introducing perforations 22 are formed in a portion 25 of the outer shearing foil 21 which is located below the hair guide surface 24 and extends in an inclined relation with respect thereto. The cutting head 20 is adapted in use to be advanced along the hair strands toward the tips thereof with the skin engaging comb 40 ahead of the hair guide surface 24. During this movement, the hair strands are combed into between the hair guide surface 24 and the skin and are then flexed outwardly upon leaving the hair guide surface 24 such that the tips of the hair strands are fed ito the perforations 22 in the inclined portion 25 behind the hair guide surface 24 in the advancing direction of the cutter head.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 1988Date of Patent: December 26, 1989Assignee: Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd.Inventors: Shouji Fujikawa, Masakatsu Araki, Fumihiro Kumano, Shinichirou Tsujimura
