A hair clipping device includes a housing, and a cutting assembly which is arranged on a distal end of the housing and which includes a stationary cutting blade and a moveable cutting blade. The hair clipping device includes further includes a comb attachment which is releasably attachable to the housing and includes a plurality of comb teeth. A front side of the housing that runs transverse to the distal end and the cutting assembly includes a corrugated surface with a plurality of adjacent ribs and recesses running parallel to each other. The backside of the comb teeth contacts the corrugated surface when the comb attachment is attached to the housing.

Hair clipping device

A hair cutting appliance includes a mounting unit configured to couple a cutting unit to a housing. The mounting unit includes a swivel mechanism having a base portion configured to be coupled to the housing, and a top portion configured to be coupled to the cutting unit, where the base and top portions are movable with respect to each other, such that, during operation, the cutting unit is pivotably supported by the swivel mechanism, which defines a virtual pivot axis for the cutting unit. The virtual pivot axis is substantially parallel to a cutting edge of the cutting unit. In a first or shaving state of the swivel mechanism, the virtual pivot axis is located at a first position with respect to the cutting unit, and in a second or styling state, the virtual pivot axis is located at a second position that is different from the first position.

Mounting unit and hair cutting appliance

A hair cutting appliance includes a linkage unit configured to couple a cutting unit and to a housing of the hair cutting appliance. The linkage unit includes a four-bar linkage mechanism having first and second arms which respectively include first and second bases pivots coupled to a base. The first and second base pivots are arranged at the base at a fixed distance. The first arm and second arms also respectively include first and second top pivots coupled to a connecting bar. The connecting bar is configured to be coupled to the cutting unit such that, during operation, the cutting unit is pivotably supported by the four-bar linkage mechanism.
