Hair clipping device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a hair clipping device () which comprises a housing (), a cutting assembly () including a stationary cutting blade () and a moveable cutting blade (), a drive arrangement () for driving the moveable cutting blade () relative to the stationary cutting blade () in an oscillatory movement along a first axis (), a comb support element () for removably attaching a comb attachment () with a plurality of comb teeth (), and an adjustment unit () for adjusting the position of the comb attachment () relative to the cutting assembly (), when the comb attachment () is attached to the comb support element (), wherein the adjustment unit () is configured to increase a distance between the comb attachment () and the cutting assembly () during an extension movement of the adjustment unit (), and to decrease the distance between the comb attachment () and the cutting assembly () during a retraction movement of the adjustment unit (). The hair clipping device () further comprises an end stop element () which is configured to prevent a movement of the comb attachment () towards the cutting assembly () during the retraction movement when a minimal distance between the comb attachment () and the cutting assembly () is reached by contacting the comb support element (). The end stop element () is further configured to cause a coupling of the adjustment unit () with one of the stationary cutting blade () and the moveable cutting blade () if the retraction movement of the adjustment unit () is continued after the minimal distance between the comb attachment () and the cutting assembly () is reached after a contact of the end stop element () with the comb support element (). Said coupling enables an adjustment of the position of the moveable cutting blade () relative to the stationary cutting blade () along a second axis () transverse to the first axis () by means of the adjustment unit ().
