Claim 15:
16. A mounting assembly for a hair cutting appliance, the mounting assembly comprising:
a head for receiving a cutting unit;
a body; and
a four-bar linkage configured to mount the head to the body, the four-bar linkage comprising a coupler link associated with the head, a frame link associated with the body, and two arms extending between the coupler link and the frame link, wherein the frame link is connected to each arm at respective frame joins, and the coupler link is connected to each arm at respective coupler joins, for allowing pivoting movement of the two arms about parallel linkage axes passing through each of the frame joins and the coupler joins,
wherein the frame joins are two-degree-of-freedom joins, thereby permitting the arms and the coupler link to further pivot in unison relative to the frame link about a rotation axis having a component in a direction perpendicular to the linkage axes.
