Abstract: The invention relates to a motor suspension for rigid and watertight mounting of a motor to a housing of an electric device, an electric device comprising such a motor suspension and a hair cutting device comprising an electric device with such a motor suspension. The motor suspension comprises a motor fixation element, a sealing suspension element and a motor axis seal. The motor fixation element is configured to provide a rigid connection of a motor to a housing in one direction, while it provides some flexibility in another direction for not deforming the housing. The sealing suspension element is configured for providing a fluid-tight connection to the housing, and the motor axis seal is configured for providing a fluid tight connection of the sealing suspension element to a rotational axis of the motor.

Abstract: A spacing comb for a hair cutting appliance. The comb includes a support frame, a series of comb teeth each having a frontal portion and a rear portion, wherein the comb teeth extend from the support frame. The support frame includes a frontal connector bar and a rear connector plate, wherein the frontal portions of the comb teeth extend from the frontal connector bar. The frontal connector bar is inwardly curved towards the rear connector plate, such that a central portion of the frontal connector bar is rearwardly offset from lateral portions thereof. Also described herein is a hair cutting appliance that is equipped with such a spacing comb.
