Abstract
Abstract A hair trimming device having a conventional, electrically operated, clipper supported within a housing in spaced relation with the walls thereof, the cutting end of the clipper being disposed adjacent an open end of the housing, and an adjustable comb, surrounding the open end of the housing, and movable to selectively vary the length of the hair to be left on the scalp being trimmed. A closed end of the housing is connected with a source of suction to remove the clippings.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A hair trimming device, comprising: an elongated, tubular, housing open at one end and closed at the opposite end; a motor driven hair clipper within said housing, said clipper having a housing surrounding an electric motor, and a cutter, driven by the motor, at one end of said clipper housing; an opening in the closed end of said tubular housing; means connecting said opening with a source of suction; and means supporting said clipper housing axially of said tubular housing in spaced relation with the walls thereof and with said cutter in proximity with said open end of the tubular housing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A hair trimming device, comprising: an elongated, tubular, housing open at one end and closed at the opposite end; a motor driven hair clipper within said housing, said clipper having a housing surrounding an electric motor, and a cutter, driven by the motor, at one end of said clipper housing; an opening in the closed end of said tubular housing; means connecting said opening with a source of suction; and means supporting said clipper housing axially of said tubular housing in spaced relation with the walls thereof and with said cutter in proximity with said open end of the tubular housing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
A hair trimming device as defined in claim 1, in which said supporting means comprises a plurality of ribs integral with the elongated housing and contacting said hair clipper housing, and in which said elongated housing is split in a longitudinal direction to permit separation and removal of said hair clipper.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
88 words
A hair trimming device as defined in claim 1, in which said supporting means includes a plurality of elongated ribs formed integrally with the elongated housing and extending radially inwardly thereof to contact said hair clipper housing, said ribs being angularly spaced from each other and defining with the elongated housing and the enclosed hair clipper housing, a plurality of parallel, axially extending, flow passages for air circulation through the open end of the elongated housing, and through said opening in the closed end of said elongated housing.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
70 words
A hair trimming device as defined in claim 3, in which each of the radially inward ends of said elongated ribs conforms throughout its length with the outer contour of said hair clipper housing, said ribs being of the same radial length to contact with the said hair clipper housing along the length of said hair clipper Housing to retain the said hair clipper coaxially of the said elongated housing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
58 words
A hair trimming device as defined in claim 1, including a cylindrical comb surrounding the open end of said elongated housing and rotatably and axially movable thereon, and means to adjustably position said comb relative to the open end of said housing to adjustably position the cutter of said hair clipper relative to the scalp to be trimmed.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
41 words
A hair trimming device as defined in claim 5, including at least one helical slot in said cylindrical comb, and means cooperating with said slot and said elongated housing to axially move and to retain said cylindrical comb in adjusted position.
