VARIABLE CUTTING LENGTH HAIR CLIPPING SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a hair clipping device (10) comprising a housing (16) and a cutting assembly (18) arranged on one end (14) of the housing (16). The cutting assembly comprises a stationary blade (24) with a front edge (34) and a moveable blade (26) with a toothed edge (36) arranged parallel to said front edge (34) of the stationary blade (24). The moveable blade (26) is displaceably mounted on a surface (28) of the stationary blade (24) and resiliently biased against this surface (28). The moveable blade is driven in an oscillatory movement in a transverse direction (32) substantially parallel to the front edge (34) of the stationary blade (24) by a drive arrangement (30). The device also comprises an adjustment unit (42) for adjusting the position of the moveable blade (26) with respect to the stationary blade (24) in a first adjustment direction (50) substantially perpendicular to said transverse direction (32). An additional attachment (12) can be releasably attached to the hair clipping device (10) on a side of the stationary blade (24) facing away from said surface (28) of said stationary blade (24). This attachment (12) comprises a blocking element (78) that is adapted to block the adjustment of the position of the moveable blade (26) with the adjustment unit (42) and to push the moveable blade (26) to a predefined position with respect to the stationary blade (24) in the first adjustment direction (50), if said attachment (12) is attached to the hair clipping device (10).
