Abstract

A hair-clipper includes a stationary blade and a movable blade. The comb projections of the stationary blade include a skin-contact surface which abuts against skin, and a slide surface with which the comb projections of the movable blade come into slide contact. Further, the main body of the stationary blade includes an opposed surface which is opposed to a plane including the skin-contact surface, and a shortest distance between the opposed surface and the plane including the skin-contact surface is equal to or greater than a distance between the plane including the skin-contact surface and the comb projection of the movable blade.

Claims (10)

1. A hair-clipper comprising a stationary blade having a main body provided with a plurality of comb projections having cutting surfaces formed at sides thereof, and a movable blade that has a main body having a plurality of comb projections having cutting surfaces formed at sides thereof and that comes into slide contact with the stationary blade, in which the movable blade is reciprocated and slid in an arrangement direction of the comb projections with respect to the stationary blade to cut hair, wherein

the comb projections of the stationary blade include a skin-contact surface which abuts against a skin, and a slide surface with which the comb projections of the movable blade come into slide contact,

the main body of the stationary blade includes an opposed surface which is opposed to a plane including the skin-contact surface, and

a shortest distance between the opposed surface and the plane including the skin-contact surface is equal to or greater than a distance between the plane including the skin-contact surface and the comb projection of the movable blade, the opposed surface of the main body and an inclined surface of a fixing plate are substantially in parallel to the plane including the skin-contact surface, and the opposed surface and the inclined surface are flush with each other, and a fixing-plate flange of a front end of the fixing plate supports a main-body flange at a rear end of the main body, wherein a surface opposite a supporting surface of the fixing-plate flange provides the inclined surface of the fixing plate.

2. The hair-clipper according to claim 1 , wherein

the fixing plate on which the main body of the stationary blade is mounted is provided on a rear portion of the comb projection of the main body of the stationary blade in the projecting direction, and

the inclined surface being opposed to the plane including the skin-contact surface on the front portion of the fixing plate in the projecting direction of the comb projection.

3. The hair-clipper according to claim 1 , further comprising:

the fixing-plate flange being positioned within a recess which is formed in a lower surface of the main body so as to define the main-body flange, and

the fixing-plate flange, which provides a tip end at the front end of the fixing plate, is positioned within the recess such that the opposed surface and the inclined surface are flush with each other.
