Abstract: Embodiments of a hair cutting device for use with automated hair cutting systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a hair cutting device comprises a body having a proximal end and a distal end. A cutter head is attached to the distal end of the body, the cutter head configured for manipulating and cutting hair. The hair cutting device further comprises a plurality of sensors coupled to the body for sensing a position of the cutter head relative to a user's head.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a small hand-held garden tool, for example a hedgetrimmer, having an electrically powered powerhead, and a detachable pole assembly. The powerhead can be used alone to cut nearby vegetation or in combination with a pole assembly to reach vegetation farther away. The powerhead has a separate handle and motor chamber, with the pole assembly being secured to the motor chamber. Actuation of the powerhead is controlled by a trigger on the handle. However, when connected to the pole assembly, actuation of the powerhead is controlled by a second trigger on the pole assembly.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a portable power tool comprising at least one coupling device which can be coupled to a power tool separation device comprising at least one cutting unit and at least one guide unit for guiding the cutting unit. The portable power tool comprises at least one storage device which is provided to stow the machine tool separation device at least when it is coupled to the coupling device.

Abstract: A hair clipper grip attachment is provided that is configured for releasably engaging a hair clipper, and includes a body with an exterior surface, an interior surface configured for contacting an exterior of a housing of the clipper. The body is constructed and arranged for releasably engaging the hair clipper in a snap-clip fashion for providing a thermally insulating layer that protects a user's hand from heat generated by the hair clipper.

Abstract: The seaweed trimmer is constructed of three main components, i.e. a gasoline powered drive motor assembly, a removably mounted extension mount and a trimmer unit that are operably connected to each other. The trimmer unit includes a pair of cutter strips that are reciprocal relative to each other for cutting seaweed and that are mounted in an articulated manner to be adjusted into parallel relation with a water bottom.

Abstract: A pair of circular cutting dies each has a sharp peripheral cutting edge surrounding a cavity, and a connecting pin extends through center holes within the dies to support each die for rotation. One projecting end portion of the pin has a cross hole receiving a key ring, and the opposite projecting end portion receives a cross pin pivotally supporting a thumb actuated cam lever for forcing the dies and cutting edges together to a cutting position against the biass of spring washers confined between the dies within the opposing cavities. The lever is movable between a die open position and a die locked position for holding the dies in a closed position.

Abstract: An ergonomic hand tool of this invention comprises an elongated support bar adapted to be positioned adjacent the forearm and wrist of the wearer. The support bar has forward and rearward ends with the forward end being adjacent the wrist of the wearer. Attachment means are on the support bar for securing it to the forearm and wrist of the wearer. A hand gripping member is pivotally secured to the forward end of the support bar. A locking mechanism is operatively connected to the hand gripping member to selectively lock the hand gripping member in a predetermined position with respect to the support bar. A tool member, such as an elongated knife, is secured to the hand gripping member. The hand gripping member has a plurality of finger gripping portions thereon. The locking means includes a spring coil operatively connected to a thumb actuated lever on the hand gripping member.

Abstract: An improved cutting unit for incorporation in a sheep-shearing apparatus having a flexibly curvable comb which conforms to the curved contours of an animal's body, thereby enabling a larger area to be fleeced at any one stroke, whether the apparatus is manually operated, power driven, or is an automatic or high speed fleecing machine.
