Abstract (en)
[origin: US5105541A] The invention is directed to an electric shaving and hair trimming apparatus, with a first cutter arrangement or shaver assembly comprised of upper cutter and lower cutter for cutting short hair, and with a second cutter arrangement or trimmer head comprised of trimmer blade and trimmer plate for shortening long hair, with the use of the trimmer head involving a spacer comb seatable on the first and second cutter arrangement. When the apparatus is turned on, the trimmer head is invariably moved by an ON-OFF slide control means from its lowermost position (OFF position), in which its distance to the tip of the spacer comb is at a maximum, to its uppermost position in which its distance to the tip of the spacer comb is at a minimum and in which the shortest cutting length is set. In this manner, it is ensured that when starting operation of the trimmer head the beard hair is initially cut at the longest cutting length setting. This arrangement is suitable to prevent the operator from inadvertently making a deep cut in a relatively long beard already when turning the apparatus on.
