A MOUNTING ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18574443 titled 'A MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
The patent application describes a mounting assembly for a hair cutting appliance that allows for pivotable movement of the cutting unit.
- The mounting assembly includes a head for the cutting unit, a base, and a mount.
- The head is pivotably moveable relative to the base about a primary axis and a secondary axis, which are not parallel.
- Two biasing elements independently act on the head or the mount to bias the pivoting movement of the head to a stable position.
- The biasing points of the elements are located on the same side of a primary plane and on opposing sides of a secondary plane to balance the head in the stable position.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in professional hair salons for precise and efficient hair cutting. - It can also be applied in home hair cutting kits for personal grooming.
Problems Solved: - Provides stability and control during hair cutting procedures. - Allows for easy adjustment of cutting angles for different hair styles.
Benefits: - Enhanced precision in hair cutting. - Improved user experience with adjustable cutting angles.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Mounting Assembly for Hair Cutting Appliances This technology can revolutionize the hair cutting industry by providing a more stable and precise cutting experience, leading to increased customer satisfaction and efficiency in hair salons and personal grooming settings.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the pivotable movement of the cutting unit improve the hair cutting process? - The pivotable movement allows for easy adjustment of cutting angles, resulting in more precise and efficient hair cutting. 2. What are the potential benefits of using this mounting assembly in professional hair salons? - The benefits include enhanced precision, stability, and control during hair cutting procedures, leading to improved customer satisfaction and efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to an aspect, there is provided a mounting assembly () for a hair cutting appliance. The mounting assembly comprises: a head () for receiving a cutting unit; a base () and a mount. The head is mounted to the base via the mount such that the head is pivotably moveable relative to the base about a primary axis () and a secondary axis (), wherein the primary axis and the secondary axis are not parallel. A first biasing element () and a second biasing element () act independently of one another, wherein the first biasing element and the second biasing element are mounted at a fixed point and configured to act on the head or the mount at a respective first biasing point () and second biasing point () to bias the pivoting movement of the head with respect to the base to a stable position. The first biasing point and the second biasing point are located on the same side of a primary plane () which comprises a biasing axis (), parallel to the primary axis, about which the first biasing point and the second biasing point are constrained to pivot relative to the fixed point, and a line parallel to a force direction () defined by a biasing force applied at one of the first biasing point or the second biasing point, to bias the head in one pivoting direction to the stable position with respect to the base about the primary axis. The first biasing point and the second biasing point are located on opposing sides of a secondary plane () which comprises the secondary axis and a line parallel to the force direction, to balance the head in the stable position with respect to the base about the secondary axis.
