A vacuum apparatus for collecting cut hair includes a housing and a motor located in the housing. A fan is operatively connected to the motor for producing a negative pressure within a filter assembly. A filter assembly includes a filter housing and a filter is located in the filter housing. The filter is configured to move away from an end of the filter housing and increase a storage volume for cut hair within the filter housing. A position sensor is located in the filter housing that is configured to detect the filter. A processor receives a signal from the position sensor when the position sensor detects presence of the filter. The processor uses logic saved in a memory to instruct the motor to increase speed of the motor from an initial speed based on the signal.

The invention relates to a comb (100) for being attached to a hair-cutting device (115). The comb comprises two surfaces (103, 104) configured to be in contact with the skin of the user. Each surface comprises a slot (105, 106) for attaching the comb to the hair-cutting device, and both surfaces have a common edge (107). When the hair-cutting device is attached to the slot of the first surface, the second surface is in contact with the skin, and when the hair-cutting device is attached to the slot of the second surface, the first surface is in contact with the skin. An asymmetric arrangement of the two slots allows for two cutting lengths of hair with one double-sided comb.

The present disclosure further relates to a combined blade unit (126) and to a hair cutting appliance (10) that is equipped with a combined blade unit (126).

A hair container for a hair cutting appliance includes a container housing having a hair compartment for accommodating cut hair sections, and an attachment portion for releasably attaching the hair container to a hair cutting appliance. The attachment portion is configured to attach the hair container to the hair cutting appliance when an attachment comb is attached to the hair cutting appliance.

This application concerns a hair-thinning comb (200) comprising pairs of comb teeth. Each pair comprises a primary comb tooth (216) and an adjacent secondary comb tooth (217). A distal primary tip (218) of the primary comb tooth (216) extends longitudinally beyond a distal secondary tip (219) of the secondary comb tooth (217). A blocking channel (226) between roots of the primary and secondary comb teeth (216, 217) prevent hairs received therein from reaching a cutting element (106) of a hair clipper (100). There is also a cutting gap (225) separating adjacent pairs of comb teeth to permit hair to pass to a cutting element (106) clipper (100). The distal primary tips (218) separate hair in a first separation stage, and the distal secondary tips (219) separate hair between the blocking channel (226) and the cutting gap (225) in a second separation stage.

The present disclosure relates to a comb attachment (130) for a hair cutting appliance (100) as well as a hair cutting appliance (100). The comb attachment (130) comprises: a frame portion (131) enclosing a cutting area (A) that is adapted to at least partially receive a cutting unit (120) of the hair cutting appliance (100), an attachment means (132) extending from the frame portion (131) away from the cutting area (A), the attachment means (132) having at least one attachment point adapted to attach the comb attachment (130) to the hair cutting appliance (100), a sidewall (133) extending from the frame portion (131) in a common direction with the attachment means (132), a set of first teeth (134) at least partially extending along the cutting area (A) from the frame portion (131) in a first teeth extending direction that at least partially corresponds to a cutting direction (C) during hair cutting, the first teeth (134) are spaced from each other in a teeth spacing direction that is perpendicular to the first teeth extending direction, thereby forming a respective gap (G) between the individual first teeth (134), a gap cover (135) extending in sections from the sidewall (133) and adapted to cover the respective gap (G) of the first teeth (134), the sidewall (133) and the gap cover (135) forming an enclosed space (136) adapted to at least temporarily collect cut hair debris during hair cutting, wherein the sidewall (133) extends over a height that overlaps with the at least one attachment point of the attachment means (132), the at least one attachment point being arranged so that the sidewall (133) overlaps with a section of the hair cutting appliance (100) when the comb attachment (130) is attached thereto via the attachment means (132), and wherein the gap cover (135) and the sidewall (133), with respect to the cutting direction (C), are arranged at a rear of the frame portion (131).

A blade cap is provided to shield a user from heat generated by operation of a blade assembly. The blade cap provides an insulative barrier between the blade assembly and the skin of the user. The blade cap may prevent discomfort or burns from the heat generated by the blade assembly. The blade cap includes openings, channels, projections, tabs, and other formations to allow the flow of air through the passageways between the blade cap and the blade.

The present invention relates to a hair collector (10) for a hair cutting appliance (100) having a cutting element (110). The hair collector comprises a housing (20), and an attachment portion (30). The housing comprises a plurality of walls (40) of which at least one side wall (42) comprises a structure (50) forming a plurality of openings. The attachment portion is configured to attach the hair collector to the hair cutting appliance. When the hair collector is connected to the hair cutting appliance, a cut hair collection chamber is formed. The cut hair collection chamber comprises the plurality of walls of the housing and the cutting element. When the hair collector is connected to the hair cutting appliance, the hair collector is configured such that the cutting element can contact skin of a user of the hair cutting appliance.

A hair guide for a hair cutting assembly comprising a cutting unit support member and at least two cutting units, each having an external cutting member and an internal cutting member rotatable relative to the external cutting member about an axis of rotation, the external cutting member having an annular cutting zone comprising hair-entry openings provided at least in a main annular wall of the cutting zone, each cutting unit being pivotable relative to the cutting unit support member. The hair guide comprising: a hair guide support member coupled to the cutting unit support member of the hair cutting assembly, and at least two annular hair guiding members each having a central axis and a plurality of hair guiding elements having a main direction of extension in a radial direction relative to the central axis and arranged in an annular hair guiding zone extending about the central axis.

A comb attachment for use with a hair clipper is provided. The comb attachment includes a comb blade section and a base section configured to be removably attached to a hair clipper. The base section is configured to adjust a taper angle of the comb blade section and adjust a length of the comb attachment.
