  • Patent number: 4030193
    Abstract: A haircutting machine by which a haircut may be performed without need of help from another person or a hairdresser in executing the work. The haircut is attained with the use of the machine, which consists of an oblong metallic plate ending in a handle, that has on each side a series of comb teeth specially formed in various shapes and lengths of teeth. The machine can be adjusted for haircutting in various depths, or to the respective shape of the scalp or any other hairy part of the human body. The possibility of adjusting the machine, as the case may be, can be further regulated by increasing or decreasing the distance between the cutting edge of the blade and the tip of the teeth by a proportionate transposition of the cutting blade along the comb's teeth by attaching the cutting blade on a moving bearer that can be slid along the comb's teeth and also can be fixed at the desired position.
