Hair cutting device

Abstract

A hair cutting device and method for facilitating and enhancing the ability to cut hair. The hair cutting device comprises a first elongated guide member that includes a first surface. The first surface includes a gravity field orientation sensor, to sense angular orientation. The first elongated guide member also includes a first end and a second end. The hair cutting device also includes a second elongated guide member that includes a first end configured to selectably couple to the first end of the first elongated guide member. The second elongated guide member further includes a second end configured to pivotly couple to the second end of the first elongated guide member. The second elongated guide member includes a plate member selectably coupleable between the first and second elongated guide members. The gravity field orientation sensor is rotatably coupled to an exterior surface of the first elongated guide member, and rotates 360 degrees.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a hair cutting device that provides an easy, convenient, and efficient way to cut hair. It includes a first elongated guide member with a gravity field orientation sensor, which allows for accurate positioning when cutting hair. The device also includes a plate member that can be selectably coupled between the guide members, and a second elongated guide member that can pivotally couple with the first guide member. The guide members can provide a straight edge or a curved edge, and the orientation sensor can indicate the level of the hair cutting device when positioned at different angles. The invention is designed to address the problems and needs in the art that have not been fully solved by currently available hair cutting devices."

Problems solved by technology

Often, the results are inconsistent and the hair style usually does not turn out how the person wants it to.

However, many of the hair cutting devices and guides still require a professional eye to correctly produce a straight cut, curved cut, tapered cut, or any other different type of cut or style that requires a certain technique.
