A cutting head selectively engageable with a first support tongue having by a pair of ribs disposed on the bottom of the tongue, and selectively engageable with a second support tongue having a substantially planar bottom surface, the cutting head comprising a bottom plate having an upper surface, an upper plate supported by the upper surface, a spring fixed to the bottom plate for biasing the upper plate against the upper surface, and a single tongue-receiving socket for snugly receiving the first support tongue and for snugly receiving the second support tongue.

Cutting head assembly for hair trimmers

A hair trimmer including a body adapted to support a cutting assembly having a reciprocable cutter, a rotatable drive housed by the body for reciprocating the cutter, and a hinge including a guide plate and a reciprocable yoke support which is engaged with the drive and which is reciprocably movable with respect to the guide plate for guiding movement of the drive relative to the guide plate.

Hair trimmer having a low-friction rotary drive

A hair trimmer including a body having opposite ends and an axis extending between the opposite ends, a blade set mounted on the body at one of the opposite ends, a comb disposed on the one end of the body for axial movement relative to the blade set, a lever supported by the comb for rotatably engaging the body, and a mechanism for axially displacing the comb in response to rotation of the lever.

Clipper with lever actuated adjustable comb

A hair trimmer comprising a main body including a cylindrical portion having an axis, a blade set located in axially spaced relation from the cylindrical portion, and a non-cylindrical portion located between the blade set and the cylindrical portion, a ring disposed on the cylindrical portion and rotatably movable relative thereto, a comb disposed on the non-cylindrical portion of the main body and including a non-cylindrical portion cooperating with the non-cylindrical portion of the main body to permit displacement of the comb along the axis relative to the blade set and to prevent relative rotation between the comb and the main body, and structure connecting the ring with the main body and with the comb for displacing the comb axially relative to the main body in response to rotation of the ring.

Hair trimmer with adjustable comb

A bag sealer having an electrically heated wire and a pivotally mounted sealing member which is substantially parallel to and normally biased away from the wire. An integral transformer and solenoid are provided for reducing the voltage supplied to the wire and for bringing the sealing member into pressure bearing relationship with the wire. The primary winding of the transformer serves as the solenoid coil while the solenoid armature, upon being closed, completes the transformer. In order to facilitate activating the switch to energize the transformer winding, a lever extends out through the housing. Molded side pieces carry an extruded channel on which is mounted a resilient pressure bar.
