To minimize the risk for injuries due to hooked hair catching teeth, but still have a reasonable hair-cutting efficiency, a cutting unit () for a hair-cutting device () having two blades () moving relatively to each other with at least one of the blades () being toothed is proposed, wherein at least some teeth () have a larger cross-sectional area (CA) at their free end () than at their end () making the junction with the blade (), wherein the larger cross-sectional area (CA) is 0.32 mmor more and wherein the shape of the larger cross-sectional area (CA) is such that the tooth () surface oriented to face the surface () with hair () to be cut when cutting has a larger distance to the middle axis (M) than the equivalent surface of the blade-side-end ().

Cutting unit with guard teeth and hair-cutting device

To minimize the risk for injuries due to hooked hair catching teeth, but still have a reasonable hair-cutting efficiency, a cutting unit for a hair-cutting device having two blades moving relatively to each other with at least one of the blades being toothed is proposed, wherein at least some teeth have a larger cross-sectional area at their free end than at their end making the junction with the blade, wherein the larger cross-sectional area is 0.3 mmor more and wherein the shape of the larger cross-sectional area is such that the tooth surface oriented to face the surface with hair to be cut when cutting has a larger distance to the middle axis than the equivalent surface of the blade-side-end.
