Patent ID: 8341846

Claim:
Hair clippers comprising: a clipper housing having forward and rear ends; a first motor encapsulated by said clipper housing and a reversible gearmotor drive system having a reversible gearmotor, said reversible gearmotor enclosed in a blade adjustment motor housing descending from said clipper housing; a length adjusting cutting blade extending from said forward end of said housing; a movable reciprocating cutting blade adjacent said length adjusting cutting blade spaced from said length adjusting cutting blade to establish a length of hair being cut, said movable reciprocating cutting blade being electrically driven by a first motor in said clipper housing; said length adjusting cutting blade movable longitudinally relative to said movable reciprocating blade which is reciprocated laterally in a transverse orthogonal direction relative to the adjustment movement of said length adjustment blade; said length adjusting cutting blade and said movable reciprocating blade each have a respective plurality of blade tips, wherein movement of said blade tips is adjusted, thereby allowing for different lengths of hair to be cut; said reversible gearmotor within said descending blade adjustment motor housing moves said length adjusting cutting blade relative to said movable reciprocating cutting blade to change the length of hair being cut; a pair of momentary tap switches on a top front mid portion of an outer surface of said clipper housing; said pair of momentary tap switches electrically connected to said reversible gearmotor drive system; to permit a user to adjust with one hand a position of said length adjusting cutting blade in said orthogonal direction to adjust the length of hair being cut, wherein one of said pair of momentary tap switches activates said gear motor to adjust the length adjusting cutting blade in one said orthogonal direction and the other one of said pair of momentary tap switches activates said gearmotor to adjust said length adjusting cutting blade in the other said orthogonal direction; said length of hair being cut being infinitely variable within a range of movement of said length adjusting cutting blade.
