Abstract:

The haircutting shears with illuminated level are adapted to aid a hairstylist in performing precise haircutting procedures. The shears are provided with a spirit level encased in an illuminated housing, which is disposed on the outer surface of one of the blades of the shears. The illuminated spirit level allows the stylist to quickly view the level to determine if the cutting angles are being executed in a desired manner. An integrated circuit device is housed in the shears and connected to the level for obtaining and storing data therefrom. A USB port is provided for connecting the integrated circuit device to a processor or other display device. The USB port also provides a charging means for the illuminating device.

Abstract:

The illuminated haircutting shears includes a pair of cutting blades, a light source, a light strip, and an energy source in communication with the light source. A microcontroller and an accelerometer positioned in communicating relation with the microcontroller may also be provided. In use, the accelerometer generates acceleration signals which are communicated to the light strip via the microcontroller. In response, a respective color of light illuminates to indicate the position of the shears, e.g., 0 (e.g. horizontal), 45 (e.g. diagonal), or 90 (e.g. vertical).
