The hair clippers use a self-contained motor-driven adjustment mechanism to adjust the relative position of the stationary and reciprocating blades of a common type of blade set. Two momentary switches operable by the thumb of the hand holding the clipper afford a barber total automatic adjustment with the clipper itself in an on or off condition. Since the small gear motors used for the adjustment are brush type or brushless permanent magnet motors which are operated by direct current, the adjustment feature is most compatible with cordless clippers already using an on-board DC source in the form of a re-chargeable battery to drive the reciprocating blade. The invention will be described as a modification of a cordless clipper, although AC driven corded type clippers can also be modified with this feature by the addition of an on-board AC to DC power supply for the adjustment motor.

Disclosed is a hair clipper having a moving lower blade, in which the lower blade moves so that upper and lower blades reciprocate in opposite directions and cross each other. In the hair clipper, an eccentric cam is connected to a rotary shaft of a motor installed in a main body, and an eccentric shaft formed on the eccentric cam is inserted into a fixing groove formed in an upper blade fixing plate and vibrates horizontally, the lower blade is mounted on a blade support, such that the lower blade can move horizontally, and is fixed to one end of a link, the central portion of which is fixed to the blade support, and the other end of which is fixed to the lower surface of an upper blade fixing plate, to which an upper blade is fixed, and thus, when the upper blade fixing plate vibrates horizontally by the rotation of the motor, the lower blade vibrates on the blade support by the link in the direction opposite to the vibration of the upper blade.

The present invention provides a shearing tool set formed on a front end of a housing. The shearing tool set comprises a stationary blade and a vibratory base having a moving blade, wherein the stationary blade is positioned at a suitable location on an exterior of the vibratory base such that the moving blade forms a superimposed structure on the stationary blade. The vibratory base is driven by motor inside the housing such that the moving blade and the stationary blade form cross-over displacements, and continuous gaps are provided on a suitable location on an internal surface of each saw-tooth on the respective cutting edges of the stationary blade and the moving blade. When the gaps on the stationary blade converge relative to the gaps on the moving blade, a temporary space is formed for holding hair, thereby preventing the hair from sliding during shearing and affecting the shearing effects.
