Hair cutting assembly and associated method
A hair cutter has a base comb with a plurality of base teeth and a supporting comb spaced from said base comb having a plurality of elongated supporting teeth extending to a lesser extent than the base teeth. A cutter blade, which may be adjustable, is secured on the supporting comb side of the base comb in spaced relationship with respect to the base comb with a cutting edge extending in the first direction to a greater extent than the supporting teeth, but to a lesser extent than the base teeth. The hair cutter is structured to have the base teeth and support teeth engaging a portion of the body with progressive movement of the hair cutter serving to effect cutting of the hair to the desired length. The cutter blade may be caused to vibrate by a suitable vibrating motor energized by a battery.
1. A hair cutter comprising
a base comb with a plurality of elongated base teeth extending generally in a first direction,
a supporting comb spaced from said base comb having a plurality of elongated supporting teeth extending generally in said first direction to a lesser extent than said base teeth,
a cutting blade extending generally in said first direction secured on the supporting comb side of said base comb with its cutting edge extending in said first direction to a greater extent than said support teeth, but to a lesser extent than said base teeth,
said hair cutter having a unitary manually-engageable handle,
said base comb and said supporting comb are connected by an integrally formed comb top connector to establish said unitary structure,
said base comb, supporting comb and comb top connector defining a downwardly open recess within which said cutting blade is received,
said base comb having a plurality of markings to facilitate desired positioning of said blade in multiple positions,
said cutting blade secured to said base comb,
said base comb being spaced about ¼ to ½ inch from said supporting comb,
said cutter being structured to cut the hair on the head of a human being, and
said cutter being, structured to have said support teeth disposed closer to said human head than said base teeth during cutting.
2. The hair cutter of claim 1 including
said blade being fixedly secured to said base comb by a threaded mechanical fastener passing through said base comb and a cooperating nut threadedly engaged with said threaded mechanical fastener.
3. The hair cutter of claim 2 including
said mechanical fastener and said nut being structured to be loosened to permit adjustment of said cutting blade position with respect to said base comb.
4. The hair cutter of claim 2 including
said blade having a pair of relatively spaced integrally formed stabilizing nubs disposed at the ends of the blades with said mechanical fastener disposed therebetween, and
each said nub engaging a gap between two teeth of said base comb.
