Dummy Blade Organizer for Hair Clipper Combs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing attachment guide combs for hair clippers are difficult to organize and store due to their three-dimensional design, leading to shifting and movement within containers, and previous solutions have been bulky and non-customizable, failing to utilize the combs' attachment means effectively.
Innovation Solution
A dummy hair clipper head or blade, compatible with attachment guide combs, allows for secure attachment and organization, enabling new uses beyond traditional hair clippers and providing a customizable storage solution through various embodiments such as scissor, razor, vacuum, and liquid dispensing combs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If attachment guide combs are stored loose in a box, then they are easily accessible, but they shift and move around during transport
Solution Approach 1:
The storage box is segmented into multiple compartments, with each compartment designed to hold a specific attachment guide comb. This segmentation prevents the combs from shifting and moving around during transport while keeping them easily accessible through the organized layout of compartments.
2Quantity of substance
If traditional storage boxes are used, then combs can be stored, but the solutions are bulky and non-customizable
Solution Approach 1:
The storage box is designed with a universal structure that can accommodate different sizes and types of attachment guide combs through adjustable compartments. The box serves multiple functions: storing combs, organizing them by size, and preventing movement during transport, all within a compact design that doesn't add unnecessary bulk.
3Stability of the object's composition
If combs are attached to fixed positions, then they are securely stored, but they cannot be easily removed or reorganized
Solution Approach 1:
The storage box incorporates dynamic elements such as removable compartments or snap-fit mechanisms that allow combs to be easily inserted and removed. The compartments can be reconfigured or repositioned to accommodate different comb sizes, providing both secure storage during transport and ease of access for removal and reorganization.

AI summary
A dummy hair clipper head, or dummy blade, which is a form conforming to those dimensions of a hair clipper's stationary blade which are necessary for its compatibility with attachment guide combs, is employed in an attachment guide comb organizer which comprises a plurality of interconnected forms, whereby a plurality of attachment guide combs can be stored and organized. By interconnecting the forms with either a rigid, contoured or flexible means, with the options of placing them within a container and of making them releasable, the organization and storage of a set of attachment guide combs can be customized. For the purposes of storage the form can be flexible and have a reduced structure from that of the stationary blade. The use of the form also makes possible a variety of new uses for attachment guide combs including a scissor comb, razor comb, and conduit comb.
