The current invention embodies a structure which serves the purpose of a portable briefcase intended for barbers use and provides various advancements for the end users.
The present invention is a carrying case for hair clippers and other barber's accessories having a main body and a cover hinged thereto. The hinged cover can be opened to expose the main body and the scissor legs allow to be stowed when the user is performing a haircutting procedure. The case has a generally rectangular configuration and one of the longer edges has defined therein a series of notches in which the proximal ends of respective electrical cords reside when the main body is deployed for use during a haircutting procedure. The interior portion of the main body is segmented into sections with the section adjacent the notched edge allocated to retaining the clipper. The notches are spaced sufficiently to permit respective clippers to be arrayed therein in spaced relation such that their respective cords can be folded and stored adjacent the clippers when the case is closed for transport. When the case is deployed for use, the scissor legs extending out from the main body are used to make it stand, whereas the briefcase allows the accessories to be retained for ease of use and withdrawal in two compartments. The first compartment has sliding trays with foam cut slots to fit any brand clippers and liners and has three holes to insert blow dryer and two flat irons.
