  • Patent number: 9561596
    Abstract: A multi-part hair clipper housing lid is provided that is configured for engagement upon a main hair clipper housing. The lid includes a base having an interior portion defined by an interior edge, a trim piece having an outer trim edge configured for locating on the interior edge, the trim piece defining an inner space defined by an inner peripheral edge, and a cover configured for seating upon the inner peripheral edge and covering the inner space. The cover is constructed and arranged such that upon being fastened to the main housing, the trim piece is retained upon the base.

  • Patent number: 9545729
    Abstract: An adjustable hair trimmer blade set is provided, including a blade chassis, a blade platform linearly displaceable relative to the blade chassis, a stationary blade secured to the blade platform, and a moving blade constructed and arranged for slidable linear reciprocation relative to the stationary blade in a direction of cutting action. An offset rod has at least one offset cam lobe and is rotatably engaged in the chassis along an axis generally parallel to the direction of cutting action. A retaining spring has at least one loop engaged by the offset rod for holding the spring in operational relationship to the chassis.

  • Publication number: 20120311871
    Abstract: 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.
