Each of the blades is symmetrical to the other and features a row of parallel, sharp-edged slots. The row of slots of each blade is slanted in opposite direction to the row of the other blade so that their lateral oscillation results in a plurality of criss-crossing shearing edge action. The blades are driven by a pair of oppositely phased eccentric cams engaging openings in the blades.
Selectable spacing of the clipper in relation to the subject's scalp is provided by a series of snap-on adjustable spacers.

Summary of the Invention The present invention provides a precision hair clipper for cutting the hair of a subject to a uniform length at a selectable spacing from the subject's scalp which comprises: a housing defining a flow chamber having an inlet and an outlet connectable to a vacuum source; a pair of balanced plates, each plate having a plurality of openings; said plates being slidingly mounted against each other across the inlet; means for oscillating said plates in opposite phases wlthin their own planes; wherein the edges of the openings of one plate cooperate with the edges of the openings in the other plate to shear hair drawn into the housing by said vacuum source; and wherein said openings are shaped and positioned in re]ation to one another to maintain a generally constant aperture area therethrough, throughout a complete oscilLating cycle oE the plates.
The present invention employs a multitude of East-acting cutting elements that prevent the hair Erom gathering in bunches and from bending away from the blade. A simplified driving mechanism is used that minimizes the instrument maintenance neecls and extends its useEul liEe. Vibrations, noise and the welght oE
the device are all greatly reduced. An adjustable spacing between the line of cut and the scalp of the subject is possible for more ;,~..
stylish clipping oE the hair.

Descrlptlon of the Preferred Embodiment Referring now to the drawing, there ls shown a motorized hair clipper 10 housed in an enclosure 11 which extends rearwardly into a tubular handle 12 for attachment to a source of vacuum such as a vacuum cleaner or the like. The enclosure 11 forms a flow chamber 13 with air being drawn through the mouth 14 in the base oE the housing 11. The mouth 14 deEines a rectangular inlet which is spanned by a pair of oscillating plates 15, 16 acting as cutting blades.
The plates whlch are more speciEically ilLustrated in Figure 4 are slidingly mounted against each other. They are supported along their peripheries by a Erame bearing 17 retained in a recess formed at the enclosure 11 and in the bottom cover 18. Each plate 15, 16 comprises a rectangular blade portion 19 with a plurality of cutting slots 20, and a rear projection 21 with a central ~' 3a aperture 22 forming a strap around an eccentric cam 23, 24. The frame bearin~ 17, the outline of which is delineated in broken lines in Figure 4, is ln two sections 25, 26. The first section 25 holds the blade portions 19, and the second section ~5~:g 7 holds the strap 21~ The ~rame bearing 17 confine~ the plates 15, 16 to oscillations along the longitudinal axis of the blade portion 19. In figure 4, the plates are shown at their maximum excursion within the fr~me bearing 17.
The cams 23, 24 are installed on a shaf~ 27 which is mounted orthogonally to the planes of the plates 15, 16 and is supported by bearing 28 in the bottom cover 18 and by bearing 129 in the body of the enclosure 11. The cams 23, 24 are mounted in opposite phase so that the top plate 15 reaches its maximum excursion toward one side when the bottom plate 16 reaches it~ maxLmum excursion toward the opposite side. The balanced configuration and movement of the plates assures a vibration-free operation of the clipper. The shaft 27 is driven by an electrical motor 29 housed in a tubular structure 30 which extends through the flow chamber 13. The air flow through the inlet mouth 14 across the slots 20 of the plates, through the flow chamber 13, past the motor structure 30 and into the vacuum outlet 12 is indicated by split arrow 31 in Figure 2. The shaft 27 extends upwardly through the motor 29 to a knob 32 on top of the enclosure ll. This knob 32 can be used to operate the plates manually for cleaning purposes. The knob could also be removed, and the tip of the shaft connected to another rotating drive, in lieu of the motor 29. A switch 33 in the top of the enclosure 11 controls the energizing of the motor 29. The blade portion 19 of each plate is characterized by a row of parallel ~lots 20 which are oriented obliquely from the direction of oscillation of the plates. The two plAtes 15, 16 are made identical to each other. However, they are staked bacX-to-back 80 that the slots 20 of one plate are slanted in the opposite directîon in relation to the ~lot~
of the other plate.
During the oscillating movement of khe plate~ the edges 34 of two superimposed slot~ criss-cross each other to deine a series of shearing elements. The ''f~
aperture of the combined slots during the entire oscillation of the plates remain essentially constant.
This prevents pulsations and disturbances oE the air flow throu~h the device which could afect the proper alignment of the hair. Any hair which is drawn into ona of the slots is neatly clipped by the scissor-like action of the edges 34. The cutting action can be improved by serrating the ed~es 34 of the slots with hair-line indentation 35 as illustrated in Figure 5.
The wall of the slots need not be slanted in relation to the plane of the plates to obtain a positive shearing action.
The plates are preferably made from tempered steel.
A thickness of at least 1 millimeter is recommended in order to maintain a certain inertia and store sufficient kinetic energy to provide a smooth cutting action.
A variety of spacers 36, 37 may be used to keep the mouth 14 of the clipper 10 at a constant but adjustable distance from the scalp of the subject in order to clip his hair to a predetermined length. The first spacer 36, is made from four plates of plexiglass 38, 39, 40, 41 which define channel 42 whose upper rim 43 can be snapped into the mouth 14 of the clipper lO. Two of the plates 38, 39 forming opposite walls of the channel 42 exkend downwardly further than the two other plates ~0, 41 to form a convenient slicling pair of feet 44, 45 which slide over the subject's scalp, leaving ~ gap ~6 below the two other plates 40, 41 for hair to enter the channel 42 toward the mouth 14 of the clipper 10.
In a second embodiment 37 of the spacer, the upper rim ~7 defines a plane which is oriented obliquely in relation to the longitudinal axis of the channel ~2 formed by the walls of the spacer 37. This type of spacer woulcl be used to taper hair around the ears and neckline. An extension 48 can be inserted between the spacer 37 and the mouth 1~ of the cllpper to increase .~ 7 the cutting distance or to change ths tapering angle depending upon the orientation of the extension ~8 in relation to the spacer 37. When insarted a8 shown in Pigure 7, ~he incline of the base 49 of tha extension would S compensate for the incline defined by the upper rim 50 of the extension 37. If the exten.~ion 37 was turned 180 degree~ the clipping angle would ~e increased.
While the preferred embodLment of the invention has been da~cribed, modifications could be made to it, and other embodiment~ could be devised without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims .
