Abstract
A drive cap uses snap fasteners to couples with the housing. The drive cap uses joining structures, such as protrusions and recesses, to align with the upper and lower housings. Once correctly aligned, snap fasteners enable a snug fit and enhance the fit and finish of the hair clippers. The snap fasteners can be located on an inner surface of the drive cap, inner housing assembly, and/or upper housing assembly. A snap detent is located on the inner surface of an adjacent surface to receive the snap fastener. Using a combination of protrusions, extensions, voids, and recesses, in addition to the snap fasteners ensures a secure fit for the drive cap between the upper and lower housings. The snap fasteners couple the drive cap to upper and lower housings seamlessly along the outer surface of the hair clippers and facilitate quick release of the drive cap for maintenance or cleaning.
