A cam follower is connected to the bladeset and associated with the clipper housing for rotation about a rotation axis relative to the clipper housing, and a bladeset angle control is associated with the clipper housing. A power transmission is member associated with the clipper housing, connected to the cam follower and constructed and arranged so that user manipulation of the bladeset angle control causes linear movement of the power transmission member and associated angular movement of the bladeset through rotation of the cam follower.

A hair clipper configured for enhanced user visibility is provided, including a clipper housing defining a longitudinal axis and a cutting end, a clipper bladeset operationally connected to the cutting end and including a stationary blade and a moving blade configured for reciprocating laterally relative to the stationary blade, a drive system projecting from the cutting end and operationally connected to the bladeset for reciprocating the moving blade relative to the stationary blade, at least one bladeset pivot support projecting from the cutting end and connected to the bladeset; the pivot support defining a pivot axis extending transverse to the longitudinal axis.

A trimmer includes a blade assembly. The blade assembly includes a stationary blade and a movable blade. Each of the stationary blade and the movable blade includes blade teeth. The stationary blade includes a first transverse edge portion, a second transverse edge portion, and a middle portion. The first transverse edge portion includes a first upper surface extending from a first edge to the upper surface. The second transverse edge portion includes a second upper surface extending from a second edge to the upper surface. The first transverse edge portion and the second transverse edge portion are beveled from the middle portion to the respective edges of the stationary blade. The stationary blade is symmetric about a midline of the middle portion.

A cutting apparatus for trimming an article, the apparatus has a manually grasped power element with a reciprocating arm having a removably engagable rotatable couple including a selectable rotational index position lock. Also included is a cutting head assembly that is removable and rotationally indexable relative to the power element, the cutting head having a pair of cutting blades for trimming the article. Wherein operationally, the reciprocating arm drives the cutting blades that have scissor movement with the cutting head selectably rotatable to the power element, user wrist fatigue is reduced, also with the cutting head being removable from the power element, the cutting head assembly is easier to clean.

The present disclosure relates to a hair cutting appliance (10), a blade set (22; 130; 150; 170) for a hair cutting appliance (10), and to a stationary blade (24) for said blade set (22; 130; 150; 170). Said stationary blade (24) may comprise a first wall portion (70) arranged to serve as a skin facing wall when in operation; a second wall portion (72) at least partially offset from the first wall portion (70), such that the first wall portion (70) and the second wall portion (72) define therebetween a guide slot (74) arranged to receive a movable cutter blade (26); at least one toothed leading edge (32, 34) jointly formed by the first wall portion (70) and the second wall portion (72); wherein a plurality of teeth (38) is provided at the at least one toothed leading edge (32, 34), the teeth (38) comprising a first leg (80) defined by the first wall portion (70) and a second leg (82) defined by the second wall portion (72); wherein the first wall portion (70) and the second wall portion (72) are connected at a frontal end of the at least one toothed leading edge (32, 34), thereby forming tips (66) of the teeth (38); and wherein the teeth (38) are, at their second legs (82), tapered along at least a substantial portion of their longitudinal extension towards a bottom side (64) of the stationary blade (24) facing away from the skin, when in operation.

According to an aspect, there is provided a mounting assembly (12) for a hair cutting appliance, the mounting assembly comprising a head (16) for receiving a cutting unit (14); and a body (18). The head is mounted to the body by a four-bar linkage (20) having a coupler link (22) associated with the head, a frame link (24) associated with the body, and two arms (26) extending therebetween. The frame link is connected to each arm at respective joins (28), and the coupler link is connected to each arm at respective joins. Pivoting movement of the arms about parallel linkage axes (30) passing through each join permits rotation of the coupler link relative to the frame link about a virtual pivot (32). One of the coupler link and the frame link is a first link coupled to the arms by two-degree-of-freedom joins, thereby permitting the arms and the other of the frame link and the coupler link to further pivot in unison relative to the first link about a rotation axis (34) perpendicular to the linkage axes.
