Patent Summary
An electric, handheld hair removing appliance, such as a trimmer, shaver, clipper, or epilator, comprises a housing, a control circuit, and at least one hair grooming device featuring a blade head assembly and a drive assembly. A touchscreen on the housing or grooming device receives user inputs, sending command signals to the control circuit to regulate device operation, including the speed of hair-removing members or heating member temperatures in styling appliances. Specifically, for trimmers, the appliance includes an adjustable comb assembly with a comb selectively movable relative to the blade head via a comb-driving assembly. The control circuit, upon receiving a touchscreen command, triggers the comb-driving assembly to move the comb by predetermined increments, thereby adjusting the hair cut-length setting.
