Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A clipper head ( 100 ) includes a base surface ( 102 ) and a front surface ( 204 ). One or more clipper teeth ( 109 ) extend from an intersection ( 108 ) of the base surface and the front surface. One or more protuberances ( 110,111,112 ) extend from the base surface. The protuberances reduce the surface area that contacts a patient's skin, thereby reducing friction and drag.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A clipper head, comprising: a base surface and a front surface; one or more clipper teeth extending from an intersection of the base surface and the front surface; and one or more protuberances disposed along the base surface; the base surface defining a base surface area with at least fifty percent of the base surface area disposed between the intersection and the one or more protuberances. 2. The clipper head of claim 1 , the one or more protuberances defining a protuberance surface area, the protuberance surface area less than the base surface area. 3. The clipper head of claim 2 , each protuberance defining a partial spherical surface. 4. The clipper head of claim 2 , each protuberance reducing an amount of static accumulating on the clipper head. 5. The clipper head of claim 2 , each protuberance integrally formed with the base surface. 6. The clipper head of claim 1 , the one or more protuberances detachable from the base surface. 7. The clipper head of claim 1 , the one or more protuberances comprising only three protuberances. 8. The clipper head of claim 1 , the one or more protuberances defining a mnemonic device identifying which surface of the clipper head is the base surface. 9. The clipper head of claim 1 , wherein when the clipper head rests on a substantially flat surface, the one or more protuberances to cause the one or more clipper teeth to project from the intersection toward the substantially flat surface. 10. The clipper head of claim 1 , further comprising a thumb recess, the one or more protuberances disposed between the intersection and the thumb recess. 11. The clipper head of claim 1 , the base surface and the front surface extending from the intersection at an acute angle. 12. The clipper head of claim 1 , the one or more protuberances extending from the base surface by at least two millimeters.
