Publication number: 20080196252Abstract: To provide a hair cutting device permitting the user to really know the remaining hair length without having to do trial cuts, a hair cutting device (1) with hair length indicator means (4) is proposed, wherein the hair length indicator means (4) comprises a fixed delimiter (5) and at least one movable delimiter (6) being movable with respect to the fixed delimiter (5), such that the hair length is indicated by the distance (D) between the fixed (5) and the at least one movable delimiter (6). Preferably, the hair length indicator means (4) comprises more than one movable delimiter (6, 7), all movable delimiters (6, 7) being movable in circumferential direction and functionally couplable with a comb unit (19, 20) such that a change between movable delimiters (6, 7) is caused by attachment of the comb unit (19, 20) to the hair cutting device (1).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2006Publication date: August 21, 2008Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Christian Mikula, Bernhard Schratter, Ernst Erich Petzl

Patent number: 6935032Abstract: A razor cartridge is provided that includes a subframe, a frame, and one or more razor blades attached to the frame. The frame includes a cap, a forward end, and a cap end. The frame is mounted on coengaging bearing surfaces on the frame and the subframe to pivot about an imaginary pivot line that is positioned adjacent the cap, above the bearing surfaces, and aft of the cutting edges of the one or more razor blades. The razor cartridge preferably further includes a spring mechanism that acts between the frame and the subframe.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2003Date of Patent: August 30, 2005Assignee: Eveready Battery Company, Inc.Inventor: Thomas A. Follo

Patent number: 6249973Abstract: A mechanical thinning razor includes a shank, a handle, a blade, a bladeguard, a driving member and a sliding member. When pushing an external surface of the driving member toward a hollow midsection of the shank, the bevel of the driving member forces the sliding member to move longitudinally over a distance that corresponds to a width of exposed segments or non-exposed segments, thereby doubling the working life of the blade.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 1999Date of Patent: June 26, 2001Assignee: Tokyo Riki Co., Ltd.Inventor: Toru Hirano

Patent number: 6079103Abstract: The present invention provides an adjustable attachment comb for use with a hair cutting device, where the adjustable attachment comb includes a stationary comb chassis that is configured and arranged to be removably attached to a hair cutting device and a movable comb body that is configured and arranged to be adjustably attached to the stationary comb chassis in one of a plurality of predetermined settings. The movable comb body and the stationary comb chassis cooperate to form a complete attachment comb unit. To supply the adjustment feature, a plurality of adjustment formations are located on the stationary comb chassis, and at least one cooperating adjustment formation is located on the movable comb body. The movable comb body can be releasably secured upon the stationary comb chassis in one of the predetermined settings by a mating interaction between one of the plurality of adjustment formations and the at least one cooperating adjustment formation.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 1998Date of Patent: June 27, 2000Assignee: Wahl Clipper CorporationInventors: Scott Melton, Jon Thomas Feas

Patent number: 5084969Abstract: A razor head is provided that is disposed at the front end of a handle of a wet razor. The razor head includes a body in which is disposed a single or double razor blade. A guide strip that extends parallel to the razor blade is disposed in front of the same and is furthermore disposed on a displacement mechanism or a pivot mechanism in such a way that in a direction perpendicular to a lengthwise dimension of the guide strip, the latter is freely movable counter to a spring force. This allows the shaving angle and hence the cutting geometry to be altered in a straighforward manner.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1990Date of Patent: February 4, 1992Assignee: Wilkinson Sword Gesellschaft mit beschrankter HaftungInventor: Wolfgang Althaus
