A powered hair trimmer is described which is provided with a hair thinning comb. The comb guides strands of hair toward cutter teeth of the trimmer for shearing and inhibits the introduction between the cutter teeth of some of the guided strands.

Thinning comb for powered hair trimmer

An improved hand-held electric powered hair trimming appliance is described comprising a comb and a cutter. The appliance is adapted to be advanced along a bed of hair in the same type of combing motion as is used to style the hair and the cutter is transported simultaneously with the comb. The comb is adapted to apply a force to strands of hair being combed causing distal segments thereof to deflect away from the bed of hair. The cutter is positioned in the path of the deflected segments of hair for shearing thereof by the cutter. Predetermined spacing of the cutter with respect to the comb provides for the majority of the sheared distal segments having a predetermined length.

Hair trimmer

A hair trimming appliance having cutter teeth movable in a reciprocating path is provided with a demountable smoothing comb. The smoothing comb enables trimming of straggling hair strands and cowlicks of a combed hair styling while limiting shearing of hair strands having a predetermined length. The smoothing comb provides for limiting extension of the latter hair strands into the path of the cutter teeth of the hair trimming appliance.

Smoothing comb for a hair trimmer

A hand-held electrically energized hair trimming appliance is disclosed which is adapted to alternatively utilize a demountable clipper assembly or a demountable trimmer assembly. The demountable trimmer assembly includes an extending segment for supporting a trimmer cutter assembly at a location displaced from a housing of the appliance for enhancing user visibility when trimming mustaches, hair around earlobes, and the like.
