Abstract:
A hair clipping device, comprising:a housing; a blade chassis engageable upon said housing and having a bladeset including at least one stationary blade and at least one moving blade configured for reciprocal movement relative to said at least one stationary blade said blades generally defining a plane; a comb assembly being attachable to and detachable from said housing and including a comb base and a comb member, said comb member being selectively slidably adjustable relative to said comb base in a forward direction generally along said plane between a retracted position and an extended position; an adjustment mechanism for selectively adjusting said comb member between said extended position and said retracted position, said adjustment mechanism having a handle and being configured so that movement of the handle will cause extension or retraction of said comb member relative to said comb base; said comb base including a plurality of depending ribs located in spaced arrangement to each other and being located in operational proximity to said handle; said adjustment mechanism includes a rotatable actuator mounted on one of said comb base and said comb member and said mechanism being configured so that direct rotation of said actuator by the user causes said slidable movement of said comb member relative to said base in a linear direction between said extended position and said retracted position; and wherein said actuator is actuated by said handle.
