Application
- 1.
A blade set (20) of a hair cutting appliance (10), said blade set (20) being arranged to be moved through hair in an assumed moving direction (28) to cut hair, said blade set comprising: a stationary blade (22) comprising at least one toothed cutting edge (32, 34), …
- 2.
The blade set (20) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lateral protecting element (56) comprises a smoothed edge transition (62), particularly a rounding (62), extending in a longitudinal direction (X) that is substantially perpendicular to the lateral direction (Y), wherein the smoothed edge transition (62) is preferably convexly curved when viewed in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (X).
- 3.
The blade set (20) as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the lateral protecting element (56) laterally overlaps the lateral end (30).
- 4.
The blade set (20) as claimed in claim in any of the preceding claims, wherein the lateral protecting element (56) laterally adjoins the lateral end (30), wherein a lateral slot (72) defining a maximum clearance between the lateral protecting element (56) and the lateral end (30) is adapted to an assumed cross-sectional extension of a hair filament.
- 5.
The blade set (20) as claimed in any of the preceding claims, wherein the lateral protecting element (56) comprises a lateral edge rounding (62), at a skin-oriented side thereof, that is greater than an overall stack height of the stationary blade (22), at least at the cutting edge (32, 34) thereof.
- 6.
The blade set (20) as claimed in any of the preceding claims, wherein the lateral protecting element (56) comprises an overall height extension that is greater than an overall height extension of the stationary blade (22), at least at the cutting edge (32, 34) thereof, wherein the lateral protecting element (56) is preferably arranged such that a bottom end surface (58) of the lateral protecting element (56), facing away from the skin when in use, is offset in the vertical direction (Z) from a respective bottom end surface (46) of the stationary blade (22), facing away from the skin when in use.
- 7.
The blade set (20) as claimed in any of the preceding claims, wherein the lateral protecting element (56) comprises a skin-facing end surface (60) that is aligned with or slightly elevated with respect to the first surface (48) of the stationary blade (22) in the vertical direction (Z), wherein an offset dimension in the vertical direction (Z) is preferably in the range of about 0.5 mm to about 0.0 mm, preferably in the range of about 0.3 mm to about 0.0 mm.
- 8.
The blade set (20) as claimed in any of the preceding claims, wherein the lateral protecting element (56) overlaps the stationary blade (22) in the longitudinal direction (X) at the cutting edge (32, 34), and wherein the lateral protecting element (56) preferably comprises a smoothed longitudinal end transition (64), preferably a frontal end rounding that is arranged to contact the skin, when in use for shaving purposes.

01The problem
A patent matter is one connected thing. Today it lives in pieces.
Claims in one file, prior art in browser tabs, the description in Word. None of your tools knows the matter exists, so the bookkeeping falls to you, and any AI has to be fed context by clipboard, starting from zero every time.
02The workspace
In Nodes-IP, the matter is connected structure
Claims, references, figures, and sections are things the software understands, not text in a file. The assistant lives inside that structure, so the context is already there: it runs searches, drafts claims, and writes sections as tracked changes you review. Word stays as the output.
03AI features
One assistant, four jobs
Each feature is the same assistant doing a different job on the same matter.
Prior art search
Searches EPO and USPTO data and files what matters into the references.
Claim drafting
Drafts and revises claims, grounded in the prior art.
Application drafting
Writes the description, consistent with the claims and figures.
Figure work
Keeps reference signs consistent between figures and text.
04Security
Access is the exception
An unfiled application discloses the invention before anything protects it. We treat that weight as a design constraint: encryption on the data itself, as few systems and people as possible near each matter, and every provider bound to the same standard. Every AI change is a proposal you review.
Your time goes where your judgment matters
Most of an application is work you can hand off. The assistant drafts from the whole matter; you review and decide.
01The problem
A patent matter is one connected thing. Today it lives in pieces.
Claims in one file, figures in another, prior art in browser tabs, the description in Word. Every tool works fine alone; none of them knows the matter exists. For you, every renumbering pass or cross-reference check is a chance to miss one, and keeping it all straight means hours of bookkeeping.
For AI, it is a blocker. A tool that cannot see the matter has to be fed it: the claims copied into this chatbot, the prior art into that one, every answer pasted back and repaired by hand. The context lives in your head and your clipboard, never in the tool, so the AI starts from zero every time.
02The workspace
In Nodes-IP, the matter is connected structure
Claims, references, figures, and sections are things the software understands, not text in a file. Word stays, as the output: every application exports to .docx in your filing format.
Because the assistant lives inside that structure, the context is already there. Nothing copied in, nothing pasted out. It runs searches, drafts claims, and writes sections as tracked changes you review.
The editors stand on their own, too. The claims editor knows what a dependent claim is: reorder the set and the numbering updates, dependencies follow, and every mention in the description stays pointed at the right claim. The workspace earns its keep with AI off.
03AI features
One assistant, four jobs
Each feature is the same assistant doing a different job on the same matter. The search informs the claims, and the claims shape the sections.
Prior art search
Runs searches against EPO and USPTO data, reads the results in the context of the invention, and files what matters into the references.
Claim drafting
Drafts and revises claims, grounded in the prior art already in the matter.
Application drafting
Writes the description section by section, consistent with the claims and figures because it sees them.
Figure work
Writes drawing descriptions and keeps reference signs consistent between figures and text.
04Security
Access is the exception
An unfiled application discloses the invention before anything protects it. We treat that weight as a design constraint: encryption on the data itself, an architecture that exposes each matter to as few systems and people as possible, contracts that bind every provider (including our AI providers) to the same standard, and regular audits of our own systems.
The assistant never writes into the matter on its own: every AI change arrives as a proposal you review. And when a client forbids AI entirely, that is a supported configuration, not a lost deal.
Your time goes where your judgment matters
Most of an application is work you can hand off. The assistant drafts from the whole matter; you review and decide.
