Abstract:
A cutting device combination, comprising:a main body including a power supply and transmission unit mounted therein, a driving socket mounted in said main body and driven into rotation by a power supply and transmission unit, and defining a reservoir therein for receiving hair clippings;a cutting head, which is selected from the group consisting of a hair combing trimmer, a shaver, and a head side profile cutter, capable of being integrally and releasably mounted onto said main body; wherein:said hair combing trimmer including a trimmer housing, a blade mounted in said trimmer housing, and a trimmer comb mounted on said trimmer housing, wherein said blade is rotatably mounted on an axle longitudinally mounted in said trimmer housing, said axle being provided with a driving pinion which is in turn couplingly fitted into said driving socket mounted in said main body so that said driving socket can be driven into rotation through said power supply and transmission unit, and wherein said trimmer housing is configured to be an arch structure having an arcuate perforated screen integrally formed as one part of said trimmer housing, said arcuate perforated screen being arranged substantially as the top portion of said trimmer housing between said blade and said comb, said comb having a plate portion and an arcuate tooth portion being configured in conformity with said arcuate perforated screen, said plate portion of said comb being releasably and slidably mounted on a portion of said trimmer housing below said arcuate perforated screen that allows said tooth portion of said comb to be selectively spaced from said arcuate perforated screen for controlling the trimmed length of hair;said shaver including a shaver housing, a blade mounted in said shaver housing, wherein said blade is rotatably mounted on an axle longitudinally mounted in said shaver housing, said axle being provided with a driving pinion which in turn couplingly fitted into said driving socket mounted in said main body so that said driving socket can be driven into rotation through said power supply and transmission unit, and wherein said shaver housing is configured to be an arch structure having an arcuate perforated screen integrally formed as one part of said shaver housing, said arcuate perforated screen being arranged as the top portion of said shaver housing, said arcuate perforated screen extending downwardly to terminate at a point close to the bottom of said shaver housing;said head side profile cutter including a cutter housing, a first elongate blade together with a second elongate blade mounted in said cutter housing, and a cutter comb pivotally mounted on said cutter housing, wherein said cutter housing includes a bottom portion including a first half bottom portion and a second half bottom portion, a first wall portion, and a second wall portion, said bottom portion defining a lower space in which a converting mechanism is mounted which is in turn coupled with said driving socket, said first wall portion being integrally formed with said first half bottom portion, said second wall portion being integrally formed with said second half bottom portion, said first wall portion being releasably mounted with said second wall portion to define an upper space therein and an elongate slot along their top edges, wherein one of said first wall portion and said second wall portion has fixedly attached thereto along the top edge thereof the said first elongate blade and has spring biasedly mounted thereto the said second elongate blade which is longitudinally driven by said converting mechanism to allow said second elongate blade to be reciprocally moved relative to said first elongate blade, wherein said first elongate blade and said second elongate blade each having a plurality of consecutive teeth formed thereon, each said tooth being arranged to project from the respective top edge of said first wall portion and said second wall portion, whereby the reciprocal movement of said second elongate blade relative to said first elongate blade may allow hair or sideburns to be trimmed.
