Claim 0:
1. A mounting assembly for a hair cutting appliance, the mounting assembly comprising:
a head for receiving a cutting unit; and
a body;
wherein the head is mounted to the body by a four-bar linkage having a coupler link associated with the head, a frame link associated with the body, and two arms extending therebetween, the frame link connected to each arm at respective joins, and the coupler link connected to each arm at respective joins, wherein pivoting movement of the arms about parallel linkage axes passing through each join permits rotation of the coupler link relative to the frame link about a virtual pivot;
wherein one of the coupler link and the frame link is a first link, and the other of the coupler link and the frame link is a second link, wherein the first link is coupled to the arms by two-degree-of-freedom joins, thereby permitting the arms and the second link to further pivot in unison relative to the first link about a rotation axis having a component in a direction perpendicular to the linkage axes.
