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) comprising a body (24), extending along an elongate (axis (50), and a driving bridge (26), the head being configured to receive a cutting unit, wherein the driving bridge is configured to couple to the cutting unit and to reciprocally move relative to the body along the elongate axis; a base (30) connected to the head with a first pivoting mechanism (32); 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); wherein the first pivoting mechanism comprises: a base bearing surface (44) on the base, a counterpart (40) coupled to the head, the counterpart comprising a counterpart bearing surface (46), wherein the base bearing surface and the counterpart bearing surface are configured to cooperate to permit relative rotational sliding movement of the base and the head about only a fixed rotational axis (60) which is perpendicular to the elongate axis.
