The new digital level and laser clipper liner kit is concerned with providing a means for measuring and cutting hairlines, beards and mustaches in straight lines or at a desired angel with precision. It is known that the accuracy of current industry clippers is dependent on the user to determine angles and straight lines while trimming various hair lines and matching up two sides at exact angles (i.e. side burns, beards, mustaches, hairlines). It is also known that clippers are sold and operated by individuals as well as professionals. However, it has not been possible heretofore for hair care professionals or personal users to guarantee exact angles and cut straight lines with certainty, nor has their been in an industry-friendly tool specifically allowing for these types of measurements or this degree of accuracy.
Level devices have been introduced to the market for use on hair clippers or shavers—such as those disclosed in U.S. patent application publications 2008/0222906 A1, 2008/0060667 A1 and 2004/0139615 A1—as well as for use on one's finger during the hair cutting process—such as that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 8,056,248 B2. Each such device is generally useful for a single hair maintenance task, whereas the new digital level and laser clipper kit provides a means for accurately performing all traditional haircutting tasks.
Generally, this application relates to two tools attached, or that can be attached, to a set of hair trimming clippers, ensuring grooming accuracy in a more timely and efficient manner than previously possible. The digital level and laser clipper liner kit contains: a digital level clipper liner, a front laser level tool, a side laser level tool, and skin-safe marking pens. The laser level tools project a laser line that allows the operator to see and cut in a straight line, or cut at a desired angle, as reported by the digital degree display. That degree can be duplicated, with accuracy, on the other side of the head, mustache or beard, by rotating the clippers until they have reached the appropriate angle, indicated by digital degree window.
The other laser level tool is used specifically for measuring a desired area for grooming/cutting and making the perfect hairline. The tool is set at the hairline. Once turned on, a laser line comes out of both sides of the tool to set the rest of the hairline. Using a specialty marker designed for use on skin, the operator can mark the points of desired hair removal and then cut precisely by using the other tool to project a line from one marked point to the other.
The sum of these advantages unify with the novel article of the new clipper kit, resulting in an invention that is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art support, either alone or in any combination thereof.
These, together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty characterizing the invention, are described with particularity in the claims herewith. A more comprehensive understanding of the features, operation and uses of the invention may be gleaned from reference to the enclosed drawings and descriptive matter further illustrating the preferred embodiments of the invention.
The embodiments described herein are illustrative of the invention, and it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description and drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. It should be further understood that the phraseology and terminology applied herein merely serve the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
In accordance with this invention, it is now possible for hair stylist/barbers to guarantee straight lines and create exact matching hair line angles on both sides of head and face. By using the digital level clipper liner or attaching laser level tools to the hair clippers, a user can project straight lines onto a subject's head or hair by a laser guiding a straight cut. A digital degree window ensures a level cut or an exact desired angle. The laser level tool and markers allow user to create with precision the desired hairline. Further, the new system enables individual use of hair clippers to achieve the same professional outcomes. Both laser level tools are equipped with a red light that indicates when laser line is level or when desired angle has been reached. This allows the individual user, who may have trouble reading the digital degree window in the mirror, to trim hair with precision and ease. The following is submitted to illustrate but not to limit this invention.
As to further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of this invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention, the use of which results in a digital level and laser clipper liner kit that enables barbers and individuals to cut hair in straight lines and create exact matching hair line angles on both sides of head and face.
Although the description presented heretofore contains specificities for the benefit of illustration, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments but rather as illustrative examples of some of the several embodiments. Thus, the scope of the embodiments should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents rather than by the examples provided.
