A hair cutting appliance includes a stationary blade having a first wall portion arranged to serve as a skin facing wall when in operation; and a second wall portion offset from the first wall portion such that the first and second wall portions a guide slot that receives a movable cutter blade. A toothed leading edge is jointly formed by the first and second wall portions. Teeth at the toothed leading edge include a first leg defined by the first wall portion, and a second leg defined by the second wall portion. The first and second wall portions are connected at a frontal end of the toothed leading edge, thereby forming tips of the teeth. The second legs of the teeth are tapered along a portion of their longitudinal extension towards a bottom side of the stationary blade facing away from the skin, when in operation.

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.

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 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).

An elongated outer blade for a slit cutter is disclosed. The outer blade extends along a first axis and comprises a number of slits and webs disposed between the slits. The webs have an upper surface, a lower surface and side surfaces extending between the upper and lower surfaces. At least some of the webs are provided with a concave clearance formed between a side surface and the lower surface forming an edge with the side surface. Further, a shaver having such an outer blade and a method for producing an outer blade using etching are disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to a cutting appliance (10), a blade set (20), and to a cutter (24) and a stationary blade (22) for said blade set (20). Said cutter (24) comprising a main portion (78), particularly a substantially flat main portion obtained from sheet metal material, at least one toothed leading edge (80) protruding from the main portion (78), the at least one toothed leading edge (80) comprising a plurality of teeth (82), and at least one scraping portion (300) comprising a tapered scraper profile (302, 304, 306) at least partially extending in a longitudinal direction (X) that is perpendicular to a cutting motion direction (126) of the cutter (24), wherein the at least one scraping portion (300) is, in a mounted state, arranged to contact a stationary blade (22) of the blade set (20) at a first wall (100) thereof to scrape off accumulated dirt and debris when the cutter (24) and the stationary blade (22) are moved with respect to each other when in operation. The disclosure further relates to corresponding manufacturing methods.

A rotary electric shaver of the present invention includes: an outer blade having an annular shaving surface provided with multiple hair inlets formed therein on an upper surface thereof; and an inner blade having a small blade which rotates in sliding contact with a lower surface of the outer blade, in which the outer blade has an integral structure using a resin material, and has a rib portion which is located between adjacent hair inlets.

One embodiment provides a guide comb having a holdable extension including: a central portion including; a plurality of teeth extending at one end thereof; and the holdable extension extending from an opposite end with respect to the plurality of teeth; wherein a lower face of the central portion includes an attachment mechanism to reversibly secure a hair clipper. Other aspects are described and claimed.
