The present disclosure relates to a releasable attachment comb (60) for a blade set (22) of a cutting head (20) of a hair cutting appliance (10), said attachment comb (60) comprising a supporting frame (62) comprising a first lateral grip bar (68), a second lateral grip bar (70), and at least one laterally extending supporting bar (64, 66) arranged between the first lateral grip bar (68) and the second lateral grip bar (70); a plurality of guide teeth (72) that define a skin contact front face (74); a plurality of snap-on mounting elements (78, 80); wherein the snap-on mounting elements (78, 80) are spaced away from the first lateral grip bar (68) and the second lateral grip bar (70); wherein at least one of the snap-on mounting elements (78, 80) is configured as a proximal snap-on mounting element (78) that is arranged on a first, proximal side (84); wherein at least one of the snap-on mounting elements (78, 80) is configured as a distal snap-on mounting element (80) that is arranged on a second, distal side (86); and wherein the at least one proximal snap-on mounting element (78) and the at least one distal snap-on mounting element (80) are arranged to mutually lock therebetween the blade set (22) to attach the attachment comb (60) to the cutting head (20). The present disclosure further relates to a cutting head (20) of a hair cutting appliance (10) that is fitted with a respective attachment comb (60).

The present invention relates to a hair clipping device (10) which comprises a housing (14), a cutting assembly (16) including a stationary cutting blade (32) and a moveable cutting blade (34), a drive arrangement (42) for driving the moveable cutting blade (34) relative to the stationary cutting blade (32) in an oscillatory movement along a first axis (40), a comb support element (45) for removably attaching a comb attachment (12) with a plurality of comb teeth (50), and an adjustment unit (58) for adjusting the position of the comb attachment (12) relative to the cutting assembly (16), when the comb attachment (12) is attached to the comb support element (45), wherein the adjustment unit (58) is configured to increase a distance between the comb attachment (12) and the cutting assembly (16) during an extension movement of the adjustment unit (58), and to decrease the distance between the comb attachment (12) and the cutting assembly (16) during a retraction movement of the adjustment unit (58). The hair clipping device (10) further comprises an end stop element (74) which is configured to prevent a movement of the comb attachment (12) towards the cutting assembly (16) during the retraction movement when a minimal distance between the comb attachment (12) and the cutting assembly (16) is reached by contacting the comb support element (45). The end stop element (74) is further configured to cause a coupling of the adjustment unit (58) with one of the stationary cutting blade (32) and the moveable cutting blade (34) if the retraction movement of the adjustment unit (58) is continued after the minimal distance between the comb attachment (12) and the cutting assembly (16) is reached after a contact of the end stop element (74) with the comb support element (45). Said coupling enables an adjustment of the position of the moveable cutting blade (34) relative to the stationary cutting blade (32) along a second axis (56) transverse to the first axis (40) by means of the adjustment unit (58).

The present invention provides for a shaving device and more specifically, to a portable shaving apparatus designed to look like a cosmetic container.

The present disclosure further relates to a method for operating an adjustable spacing comb (26) for a hair cutting appliance (10). The adjustment drive (50) comprises an actuator (52) that is configured for actuating a movable comb portion (40) of the adjustable spacing comb (26) with respect to a blade set (16) of the hair cutting appliance (10), and a proximity sensitive or touch sensitive sensor element (64), particularly a gesture control user input interface, wherein the sensor element (64) is configured to detect multi-faceted user inputs (70, 72) applied to the sensor element (64) and to output a user input signal that is derived from the multi-faceted user inputs (70, 72), and wherein the actuator (52) is operated on the basis of the user input signal.

An electric shaver having a shaving unit (3) and a sensor (15) with a first sensor unit (16) fixed to a main body (2; 202; 302) and a second sensor unit (17) fixed to a sensor unit carrier (22; 222; 322), for indicating a distance between the sensor units (16, 17). The shaving unit (3) and the sensor unit carrier (22; 222; 322) are suspended to the main body (2; 202; 302) for displacement along a z-axis between a rest position (22) and a pushed-in position (22′) in response to a pushing force exerted onto a shaving face (11) of the shaver (1). The first and second sensor units (16, 17) are located in positions offset from the z-axis over a distance (d) in an x-direction. An anti-tilting guide (24-27; 124; 224, 226; 326, 328) is provided for guiding the sensor unit carrier (22; 222; 322) against tilting about a y-axis.
