A MOUNTING ASSEMBLY

Abstract

According to an aspect, there is provided a mounting assembly (20) for a hair cutting appliance (10), the mounting assembly comprising: • a head (22) configured to receive a cutting unit and comprising: • a body (24) extending along an elongate axis (50); • a driving bridge (26) configured to couple to the cutting unit and to reciprocally move relative to the body along the elongate axis to reciprocally move the cutting unit relative to the body; • a primary head bearing surface (44); and • a separate secondary head bearing surface (52); • a counterpart (40) pivotably coupled to the head, the counterpart comprising: • a primary counterpart bearing surface (46) configured to cooperate with the primary head bearing surface to permit sliding rotation of the counterpart relative to the head about a first rotational axis (60) which is parallel to the elongate axis, and configured to contact the primary head bearing surface along a contact line to limit movement of the head towards the counterpart along a second axis (30) perpendicular to the first rotational axis; and a secondary counterpart bearing surface (54) separate from the primary counterpart bearing surface and configured to cooperate with the secondary head bearing surface to permit sliding rotation of the counterpart relative to the head about the first rotational axis, and configured to bear against the secondary head bearing surface to limit movement of the head relative to the counterpart along a third axis (70) which is perpendicular to the second axis and the first rotational axis; and a driving unit (34) comprising a driving axle (36) and a socket (38), the driving axle comprising an eccentric pin (42) cooperating with the driving bridge to impart reciprocating motion to the driving bridge, and the socket being configured to cooperate with a motor (14).
