Abstract
Abstract A hair trimmer has a shear blade assembly mounted in a frame and composed of a stationary blade and a reciprocating blade which slides on the stationary one. One or more biasing springs are interposed between the frame and the reciprocating blade to urge the same into proper contact with the stationary blade. A pivoted lever is interposed between the spring(s) and the reciprocating blade and serves to divert the biasing force to particular portions of the blades, such as the cutting edge, where it is needed while at the same time relieving other portions so that overall friction between the blades is reduced.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
A hair trimmer, particularly for dryshavers, comprising a frame; a shear blade assembly, comprising a stationary first member on said frame and a second member in sliding engagement with said first member; biasing spring means between said frame and second member and exerting biasing forces in direction towards first locations of said second member; and means stationary with respect to the sliding movement of said second member and being interposed between said biasing spring means and said second member for diverting said biasing forces to preselected second locations of said second member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
92 words
A hair trimmer, particularly for dryshavers, comprising a frame; a shear blade assembly, comprising a stationary first member on said frame and a second member in sliding engagement with said first member; biasing spring means between said frame and second member and exerting biasing forces in direction towards first locations of said second member; and means stationary with respect to the sliding movement of said second member and being interposed between said biasing spring means and said second member for diverting said biasing forces to preselected second locations of said second member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A hair trimmer as defined in claim 1, wherein each of said members has a serrated cutting edge.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A hair trimmer as defined in claim 1, wherein said diverting means comprises at least one force-transmitting element having portions in engagement with said frame and with said second member, respectively.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
A hair trimmer as defined in claim 3, wherein said force-transmitting element is a single-arm lever having one end portion in engagement with said frame and another end portion in engagement with said second member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A hair trimmer as defined in claim 3, said force-transmitting element having on one portion thereof a bead, and said frame having a depression accommodating said bead so that the element can tilt on the bead.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
