Definitions

  • the associated spacing comb can be placed on the shaving head of the machine by simply plugging it on when used by hand.
  • the spacer comb placed on the shaving head of the hair clipper in this way is functionally fixed on the hair clipper by a detent spring which interacts with a locking lug of the shaving head.
  • Another deficiency of such a definition of the distance comb on the shaving head of the hair clipper is that to change the cutting length of the distance comb is grasped with two fingers of the hand not holding the hair clipper and then - depending on the desired length of cut - in the pull-off direction or in the direction of extension until Locking its locking member into the locking groove corresponding to the selected locking position on the device housing must be moved relative to this.
  • This process requires the hair clipper to be removed from its position of use and then grasped with one hand so that the other hand can adjust the shaving head while closely observing the hair clipper and the distance comb.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a hair clipper of the type mentioned, in which both the adjustment of the distance comb in different cutting lengths effecting use or locking positions as well as the mounting of the distance comb in the pushed state on the hair clipper and the switching on and off of electric hair clipper drive can be accomplished by means of a single actuating element.
  • the distance comb and the slide switch are provided with coupling means which can be brought into engagement, that further locking positions for the distance comb are provided for the on and off position of the slide switch and that in the locking positions, the engaged coupling means of the distance comb and the slide switch are secured against decoupling by means of a lock.
  • This solution according to the invention enables the hair clipper to be operated, that is to say both the switching on and off and the setting of the various latching positions of the distance comb, by means of a single switching handle.
  • the cumbersome grasping of the spacer comb on the shaving head for setting the various locking positions is thus avoided.
  • the hair clipper 1 is assigned a coupling plunger 10 which can be slid in a housing-side guide 9 with a T-shaped cross section in the direction of the longitudinal axis x of the hair clipper 1.
  • This coupling plunger 10 is assigned a slide switch 11 which extends over the entire width of the hair clipper 1 and thus permits safe operation with both the left and right hand of the device user, that is to say one-hand operation.
  • the slide switch 11 fulfills several functions, namely first of all that of switching the electrical or mechanical drive of the hair clipper on or off, then the further function of coupling or uncoupling the distance comb 3 with the hair clipper in a functionally appropriate manner, and finally the function of the coupled distance comb to be transferred to different positions causing different distances.
  • FIGS. 5 to 10 The function of the coupling plunger 10, which can be displaced longitudinally by means of the slide switch 11 inside and below the front wall 12 of the hair clipper 1, in cooperation with the coupling means of the spacer comb 3 are shown in FIGS. 5 to 10 in several coupling phases.
  • FIG 5 shows the basic mode of operation of the coupling 13 between the slide switch 11 of the hair clipper 1 assigned here to the clutch plunger 10 and the spacing comb 3 which can be placed on the shaving head 2 of the body 7 of the hair clipper.
  • the coupling plunger 10 connected to the slide switch 11 is formed with a coupling lug 14 which can be pivoted about the axis of a film hinge 15 molded onto the plunger 10, in such a way that the coupling lug 14 automatically returns to its starting position after each pivoting in accordance with FIG. 5 returns.
  • the front wall 23 of the coupling plunger 10 arrives at a shoulder 24 integrally formed on the coupling wall 16 of the spacer comb 3, while the side wall 25 facing away from the coupling nose (according to FIG. 5) on the outer wall 26 of a through the housing wall 19 of the hair clipper 1 and formed by the coupling wall 16 of the spacer 3 positive guide 27 slidably comes to rest.
  • the clutch plunger 10 is prevented from elastic deflection in front of the shoulder 24 by the positive guide 27.
  • FIG. 6 shows a schematic front view of a vertically displaceable grip piece 30, which includes both the clutch plunger 10 and the slide switch 11, and which serves for the hair clipper 1 as a central switch.
  • the grip piece 30 is formed here with a detent lever 32 pivoting about a molded-in film hinge 31, the detent 33 of which engages in detent notches of a detent bar 34 of the hair clipper 1 which is fixed to the device and forms a detent mechanism with each.
  • the engagement of the detent 33 in the lowest notch 34.1 determines the “zero” or “switch-off” position of the slide switch 11.
  • the latching nose 33 arrives in the latching notch 34.3.
  • the spacer comb 3 is pushed into its first detent position by the coupling tappet 10 moving in the direction x as a result of the abutment of the tappet-side front wall 23 on the locking shoulder 24 of the coupling wall 16.
  • This first latching position causes the hair that is caught by the spacer comb to be cut with a relatively short cutting length.
  • the locking position is indicated here by a marking scale 35 belonging to the shaving head 2 of the hair clipper 1, the numbers "1" to "4" of which are visible in a cutout 36 between and below two adjacent tooth-shaped supports 8 of the spacer comb 3.
  • a mark 37 assigned to the front of the distance comb 3 indicates the respective locking position - here the lowest possible locking position "1" - of the distance comb 3.
  • the spacing comb 3 reaches further detent positions which increase the distance between the shaving head 2 and the spacing comb 3, which by engaging the detent 33 into the notches 34.4, 34.5 and 34.6 marked and on the basis of the marking scale 35 by the by means of scale numbers "1", “2", “3", “4" corresponding mark 37 or by reading the lowest scale number lying in the sliding direction and not covered by the distance comb.
  • FIG. 7 to 10 show a schematic representation of the individual coupling phases between the hair clipper 1 and the spacing comb 3 placed on the shaving head 2 thereof.
  • the clutch plunger 10 has been transferred into the “on” position by means of the slide switch 11, in which the hair clipper 1 is put into operation without moving the spacer comb attached.
  • the coupling lug 14 of the plunger 10 which can be pivoted through the film hinge 15, overlaps the locking shoulder 18 of the spacing comb 3 and secured the spacing comb 3 on the shaving head 2 of the hair clipper 1 against falling out.
  • the spacer comb 3 can also be lifted off the shaving head 2 at any time in this coupling position, in which case the coupling lug 14 of the tappet 10 is pushed back by the locking shoulder 18 of the spacer comb 3 into the recess 20 of the guide 9 of the hair clipper 1.
  • FIG. 9 shows the first locked coupling position of the spacer comb 3 on the shaving head 2 of the hair clipper 1, in which the spacer comb 3 is in the position "1" that achieves the shortest cutting length.
  • the coupling lug 14 of the coupling tappet 10 is already in an area which is formed on the one hand by the housing wall 19 of the hair clipper 1 and on the other hand by the coupling wall 16 of the spacer comb 3.
  • the coupling plunger 10 is prevented from evading around its hinge axis 15 and is therefore moved only in the coupling direction x when the slide switch 11 is advanced, that is to say in or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the hair clipper 1.
  • the spacer comb 3 can be moved into further latching positions in the manner described above by means of the abutting edge 23.
  • a link 41 is provided here, which is formed by a curved groove in a side wall 42 adjacent to the housing wall 19' and delimiting the guide 9 for the clutch plunger 10.
  • a guide pin 43 integrally formed on the coupling plunger 10 engages in the setting 41 and can also consist of a guide roller attached to such a pin.
  • the clutch plunger 10 with the molded coupling lug 14 is lifted from the link 41 over the locking shoulder 18 of the comb-side coupling wall 16 (first dashed position) and then moved behind the locking shoulder 18 into its "on" position (second dashed position) , After which the plunger 10 arrives in the region of the positive guide 27 ', in which the coupling plunger 10 - with its abutting edge 23 crashing against the locking shoulder 24 of the comb-side coupling wall 16 - moves the spacing comb 3 into its detent positions, each of which has greater cutting lengths.
  • latching cams 44 can be assigned to the inner sides of the two parallel side walls of the spacer comb, which engage in corresponding recesses 45 in the outer sides of the corresponding outer walls of the shaving head of the body 7 of the hair clipper 1 interact.
  • FIGS. 12 to 14 show a further embodiment of the hair clipper and the distance comb.
  • 12 shows a section of the front view of the hair clipper without a distance comb
  • FIG. 13 shows the representation of the coupling between the hair clipper and the attached distance comb in section from the side (corresponding to FIG. 5)
  • FIG. 14 shows a section of the coupling wall of the distance comb from seen inside.
  • the spacer comb 3 is already held in the off position “off” by the coupling lug 14 of the coupling tappet 10 and is thus secured against falling out. In the embodiments described so far, this only takes place in the “on” position.
  • the lateral guide of the coupling lug 14 takes place in a positive guide 48 which is offset parallel to the longitudinal axis x of the hair clipper.
  • the front wall 23 of the coupling plunger 10 now lies on the locking shoulder 24 'of the coupling link 46 of the spacing comb and pushes it upwards, as described above.
  • FIGS. 15 to 17 A further advantageous embodiment of the coupling means is shown in FIGS. 15 to 17.
  • the views in FIGS. 15, 16 and 17 correspond to those in FIGS. 12, 13 and 14, respectively captured.
  • the interaction of the coupling means when the spacer comb is placed on the shaving head takes place analogously to the description of FIGS. 12 to 14.
  • Different here are the link 51 'in the front wall 12 (FIG. 15) and the congruent coupling link 46' of the coupling wall 16 ( Fig. 17) executed. They are both circular sections.
  • the coupling lug 14 of the coupling plunger 10 is guided laterally in the link 51 '(FIG. 15) in an arc around the cam 53, so that the coupling plunger is in the "on” position again lies in the longitudinal axis x of the hair clipper.
  • the coupling lug 14 When pushing further into the next locking positions, the coupling lug 14 is now guided laterally in a positive guide 52, the longitudinal axis of which is identical to the longitudinal axis x of the device or to the longitudinal axis of the coupling plunger 10.
  • the coupling tappet 10 stands in all through the film hinge 49, in contrast to the embodiment according to FIGS. 12-14 Rest positions or rest positions not under tension.
  • the lower edge of the coupling lug 14 lies on the locking edge 50 'of the coupling link 46' or the locking lug 54 of the distance comb. Otherwise, the operation of this embodiment is the same as that of FIGS. 12-14.
