ABSTRACT:
A hair cutter having a cutter head with a cutter comprising a toothed stationary blade and a toothed movable blade which define a cutting plane between toothed edges thereof. The movable blade reciprocates relative to the stationary blade in hair shearing engagement between the toothed edges with the movable blade defining a cutting edge at its leading toothed edge. Disposed at the front end of the cutter head is a pair of first and second hair pressing members with respective hair contacting edges. The first hair pressing member is formed to have a number of comb slots arranged in parallel with the toothed edges of the movable blade with the comb slots defining at their bottom ends the hair contacting edge. The first and second hair pressing members are located on the opposite sides of the cutting plane, respectively to have the individual hair contacting edges spaced across the cutting plane in such a manner that the cutting edge of the cutter is positioned on or rearwardly of a line connecting the hair contacting edges of the first and second hair pressing members. The hair contacting edges of the first and second hair pressing members are cooperative to hold the hairs at spaced portions along the length of the hairs so as to keep the thus held hairs out of shearing contact from the cutting edge, thereby permitting the cutting edge to cut only the hairs which flex toward the cutting edge, these being hairs which have slipped away from one of the hair contacting edges.
