Abstract

In a hair cutting apparatus, particularly an electric hair cutting apparatus, with a shearing head comprised of a shear plate and a cutting element as well as with a spacer comb adapted to be seated on the shearing head for sliding contact with the skin surface to be treated, with the position of the forward edge of the cutting element being adjustable relative to the skin surface, the spacer comb (3)--upon being seated on the shearing head (2) of the hair cutting apparatus (1)--is adapted to be coupled with the hair cutting apparatus by centrally controlled coupling members (10, 14, 23) cooperating with coupling members (16, 18, 24) of the comb to provide a coupling (13) between the body (7) of the hair cutting apparatus (1) and the spacer comb (3), the coupling members being adapted to move the said spacer comb into its individual ratchet positions producing different lengths of the cut. The coupling members (10, 14, 23) providing for coupling and uncoupling of the spacer comb 3 are controlled by a slide control (11) of the body (7) of the hair cutting apparatus (1) in which all functions of the hair cutting apparatus including enabling and disabling of the drive are incorporated…
