Patent ID: 7926183

Claim:
A hair cutting comb comprising: a first razorblade having a cutting edge and a back portion opposite the cutting edge; a second razorblade having a cutting edge and a back portion opposite the cutting edge; a comb body having a cutting section, a cavity in the cutting section configured to slidably and removably receive the first razorblade and the second razorblade along an axis parallel to the cutting edge of the first razorblade and the cutting edge of the second razorblade through a laterally extending top opening of the comb body, a first plurality of teeth each extending transversely with respect to the length of the comb body in a first direction to a free end, the cutting edge of the first razorblade being externally exposed between the plurality of teeth when the first razorblade is received in the cavity, a second plurality of teeth each extending to a free end in a second direction opposite the first direction, the cutting edge of the second razorblade being externally exposed between the plurality of teeth when the second razorblade is received in the cavity, and a side opening in the comb body, the side opening extending longitudinally a distance along the length of the comb body and being in communication with the cavity, a side portion of the first razorblade being laterally exposed by the side opening when the first razorblade is received in the comb body to allow the first razorblade to be removed from the cavity by pressing the laterally exposed side portion of the first razorblade upwardly; and a T-shaped retaining clip having an elongated lower portion and an upper portion extending transversely with respect to the elongated lower portion, the retaining clip being slidable along the longitudinal extension of the side opening between an open position and a closed position, the upper portion having a first extension that is perpendicular to the elongated lower portion, and a second extension that is perpendicular to the elongated lower portion, wherein, when the retaining clip is in the closed position, the elongated lower portion extends along the side opening of the comb body, and the upper portion retains the first and second razorblades in the cavity by covering the laterally extending top opening when the first and second razorblades are slidably received in the cavity, wherein the first extension extends along its length in the first direction away from the longitudinal extension and toward the free ends of the first plurality of teeth, and the second extension extends along its length in the second direction away from the longitudinal extension and toward the free ends of the second plurality of teeth.
