BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to a body hair clipper that is simple and convenient to assemble and disassemble.

Description of the Related Art

Normally, there are a number of long and short nose hairs in the nose of a human body. These nose hairs serve to filter out foreign particles and the like to prevent the foreign particles from being introduced into the respiratory organs.

Recently, various types of nose hair clipping devices have been developed to clip nose hairs appearing outside of a nostril for sanitary reasons. Examples of this nose hair clipping device include nose hair scissors.

The nose hair scissors have the advantage of being simple to use. However, the nose hair scissors may cause a slight or serious wound to the nostril due to a structure thereof when in use because a position of the nose hairs in the nostril cannot be identified with the naked eye.

Therefore, to solve this problem, “motor-driven body hair clippers” have been recently developed. The “motor-driven body hair clippers” include an external head having a plurality of external cutting edges, an internal head having a plurality of internal cutting edges, and a holding screw holding the internal head and the external head together.

These motor-driven body hair clippers, each with a structure where the external head is motor-rotated with respect to the internal head, provide the advantage of being safe and convenient over the nose hair scissors when clipping the nose hair.

However, the motor-driven body hair clipper has a structure where the internal head and the external head are combined with each other by a fastening unit such as the holding screw, and thus are inconvenient to assembly and separate. There is a concern that the fastening unit will be lost frequently when assembling or disassembling the motor-driven body hair clipper. The entire motor-driven body hair clipper is required to be replaced when the fastening unit is lost.

The foregoing is intended merely to aid in the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and is not intended to mean that the present disclosure falls within the purview of the related art that is already known to those skilled in the art.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An objective of the present disclosure is to provide a rotatable body hair clipper in which, using a forcible insertion method instead of another fastening unit, a first cutting portion and a second cutting portion are easy to combine with each other and the first cutting portion and the second cutting portion are easy to separate from each other after use.

Another objective of the present disclosure is to provide a rotatable body hair clipper having a structure for limiting rolling of the rotatable body hair clipper over a surface. With this structure, the risk of the rotatable body hair clipper being lost is remarkably reduced.

The present disclosure is not limited to these objectives. From the following description, other objectives can be clearly understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure pertains.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a rotatable body hair clipper including: a handle; a first cutting portion, arranged to be positioned in contact with an upper portion of the handle, and having a first cutting edge formed on an upper end thereof; and a second cutting portion into which the first cutting portion is inserted, of which an inner circumferential surface is thus brought into contact with the handle, and which has a second cutting edge formed on an upper end thereof, the second cutting edge being rotated with respect to the first cutting edge and thus a body hair being cut, wherein the handle includes: a handle main-body, with the first cutting portion being arranged to be positioned in contact with an upper portion of the handle main-body; and a protrusion combination portion, protruding from an upper end of the handle main-body along a direction of surrounding an outer circumferential surface of the first cutting portion, the protrusion combination portion being forcibly inserted into the second cutting portion in a removable manner to fasten the second cutting portion, thereby holding the second cutting portion in a rotatable manner.

According to first and second embodiments of the present disclosure, the advantage of easily and conveniently combining the first cutting portion and the second cutting portion with each other can be achieved using a forcible insertion method instead of another fastening unit. Furthermore, the advantage of easily and conveniently separating the first cutting portion and the second cutting from each other after use can be achieved.

In addition, according to the first and second embodiments of the present disclosure, the advantage of remarkably reducing the risk of the rotatable body hair clipper being lost can be achieved with the structure for limiting rolling of the rotatable body hair clipper over a surface.

The present disclosure is not limited to these advantages. From the following claims, other advantages can be clearly understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure pertains.
