A hair cutting appliance, a blade set for a hair cutting appliance, and to an integrally formed metal-plastic composite stationary blade for said blade sett and a method of manufacture is disclosed. The stationary blade includes a first wall portion arranged to serve as a skin facing wall when in operation, a second wall portion at least partially offset from the first wall portion such that the first wall portion and the second wall portion define therebetween an inner guide slot arranged to receive a moveable cutter blade. At least one toothed leading edge is jointly formed by the first wall portion and the second wall portion, and a plastic component comprising at least one mounting element.

Provided is a cutting assembly (100) for cutting hairs on skin. The cutting assembly comprises a guard plate (102) for contacting the skin. The guard plate has a first toothed edge (104A) which extends along an axis. The first toothed edge comprises guard teeth (106A). The cutting assembly further comprises a cutter plate (108) which is disposed on the guard plate. The cutter plate is slidable relative to the guard plate in directions parallel with the axis. The cutter plate comprises a second toothed edge (110A) extending parallel with the axis. The second toothed edge comprises cutting teeth (112A). The cutter plate and the guard plate are aligned such that the hairs are cut by the cutting teeth against the guard teeth when the cutter plate slides. The cutting teeth each include a cutting portion (114A) and a tip (116A). The tip is outwardly enlarged relative to the cutting portion in at least one direction parallel with the axis. The minimum space between adjacent tips is less than the minimum space between adjacent guard teeth. The tip thereby maintains overlap with at least one of the guard teeth during sliding of the cutter plate relative to the guard plate. Further provided is a trimmer including the cutting assembly.

The present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, comprising a pair of cooperating cutting elements movably supported relative to each other by a support structure, wherein one of the cutting elements is sandwiched between the other cutting element and the support structure, wherein cutting teeth in a middle section of the row are different from cutting teeth in end sections of the row in terms of at least one of shape, size and position of the tooth tips.

Surgical clipper blade assemblies with hydrophobic coating layers and methods of use for hair removal from a skin area include using a surgical clipper blade assembly including a blade, a top surface, a bottom surface, a plurality of sidewalls disposed and extending between the top surface and the bottom surface, and an aperture configured to receive the blade, and a hydrophobic coating layer disposed on at least a portion of a top skin facing surface comprising the top surface and the blade. The surgical clipper blade assembly may include a plurality of ribs on the top surface, and the portion of the top skin facing surface may include the top surface, the blade, the plurality of ribs, or combinations thereof. During operation of the blade to remove hair from the skin area, the hydrophobic coating layer reduces friction forces and prevents risk of skin abrasions.

A stationary blade for the blade set suitable for use with a hair cutting appliance that includes of wall segments fixedly interconnected forming a segmented stack, wherein an intermediate wall segment is disposed between a first wall segment and a second wall segment jointly forming, at an end of the segmented stack at least one toothed leading edge comprising a plurality of mutually spaced apart projections defining a plurality of teeth and respective tooth spaces, wherein the intermediate wall segment comprises a cutout and wherein the cutout in the intermediate wall segment, the first wall segment and the second wall segment define therebetween a guide slot for a movable blade.

The present disclosure provides a blade unit that achieves both smooth skin sliding in a wide area and ease of shaving in a narrow area. Blade unit according to the present disclosure comprises four or more outer blades extending in a first direction and sliding member extending in the first direction, and blade unit is attached to electric razor, wherein at least two outer blades included in the four or more outer blades are arranged on both sides of sliding member.

There are many trimmer models with 2 main parts, the static comb blade and the side moving cutter blade driven by electric motor/vibrator. These blades differ in many ways, shapes, sizes . . . which require fine adjustments and tenth of millimeter clearance at the end of the blades. Some models come with an adjuster that fits its model only with a fixed clearance that cannot be modified and does not fit other models. The proposed inventions are universal trimmer blades adjusters that fit most trimmer blades models and the clearance can be varied to meet the users' requirements. First invention design has one moving part with non-linear smooth adjustments and second invention design has two moving parts with linear fine adjustments.

A cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, having a pair of cooperating cutting elements with two rows of comb-like cutting teeth at opposite edges thereof and at least one field of cutting perforations between the rows of comb-like cutting teeth. The cutting elements are movably supported relative to each other by a support structure with an inner one of the cutting elements being sandwiched between an outer one the cutting element and the support structure. The support structure includes a pair of outer frame portions and a pair of inner frame portions supporting the inner cutting element. The inner frame portions form rigid support ribs extending from a base portion of the support structure at a steeper angle than the outer frame portions and forming rigid support edges supporting the inner cutting element along the outer edge of the field of cutting perforations.

An apparatus is provided for releasably locking a stationary blade to a hair clipper, and includes a stationary blade with a blade opening, and a bracket configured for fixing the stationary blade to the hair clipper. Also, the bracket has a bracket opening. An actuator in the apparatus has a locking formation engageable in the openings and is operable between a first, locked position locking the stationary blade to the bracket, and a second, unlocked position releasing the stationary blade from the bracket.

The haircutter according to the invention serves for trimming and styling hair and comprises a grip and a blade head connected with the grip. A working section is disposed at one longitudinal face of the blade head and recessed from an alignment line of the longitudinal face. A haircutting blade having at least one cutting edge is accommodated in the blade head and disposed so as to expose at least part of its cutting edge in the working section and to not protrude beyond the alignment line. The blade head comprises a guiding device having at least one placing surface for the hair to be trimmed so that the hair to be trimmed lies at a defined angle to the cutting edge as the placing surface is placed against the hair.
