Abstract
A powered hair clipper for use in cutting human hair is disclosed. The clipper comprises a tubular housing defining a handle to be grasped by a skillful hand of an operator and having a power driven cutter assembly at its forward end. The housing is provided with finger hooking means projecting outwardly and radially from the rear portion thereof so as to receive therein at least one of the middle, ring, and little fingers of the same hand grasping the clipper. With the help of the finger hooking means, the operator can carry the clipper by one or more fingers of his skillful hand such that the operator has no necessity of turning aside the clipper at each time when the same skillful hand takes over the handle a comb for arranging straggled or disordered hair strands prior to the trimming operation of advancing the clipper. Thus, the operation of arranging the hair strands can be immediately followed by the trimming operation with the clipper held in the same hand, enabling the operator to complete hair trimming in a shorter time and in a comfortable manner.
