"Device for the beautification and care of the human head hair"

The invention relates to a device for the care of hair and in particular to a comb-like one multi-pronged implement.

In order to exclude ambiguous texts in the following description, let us begin with the following terminology for the description of the comb-like device introduced: the comb-like device has a plurality of prongs which are generally an integral part with the so-called comb back, with the prongs pointing downwards in the case of a vertical arrangement, the length in the horizontal cross-sectional direction, the width in the vertical cross-section and the thickness in the direction of observation lies.

209886/0294

The length of the individual prongs is in the vertical transverse direction, their width in the horizontal transverse direction and the thickness in the direction of the plan view

The comb-like device to be considered here is a relatively large comb, which is particularly suitable for grooming unruly hair, such as that of negroes. In general the individual prongs are flattened in cross-section in conventional combs, with the main axis being the Cross-sectional shape lying over the thickness of the ridge is given. Combs designed in this way often lead to the fact that the prongs break especially with strong hair growth or otherwise difficult to tame hair, once a prong has broken out, the prongs adjacent to it break even faster due to the large deformation that this causes or the bending moment acting on them can. The well-known combs also often lead to a frizz effect in the hair, which is caused by the sharp-edged Corners of the individual prongs is conditioned.

The invention is therefore based on the object that to avoid the disadvantages and shortcomings mentioned, and a new type of comb is created from its back a large number of them form a unity with this

Prongs at a distance from one another and essentially at right angles to them. extends so that their longitudinal axes are parallel in a common ιEbene, and dedeT the prongs to the free end tapered with a blunt rounding at the end and of rounded cross-sectional shape, and the surface of the ridge, which is formed on all sides in a soft curve, is free of sharp corners , and the curved prongs lie in a common, correspondingly curved plane, and finally the prongs together do not provide any constrictions between themselves and between any prongs and the associated comb back.

The individual prongs are preferably in cross section around. While the comb designed according to the invention or the comb-like device can of course be of different sizes, it is advantageous to train it so that it can be comfortably held in a hand roughly clenched into a fist, i.e. that its length corresponds approximately to the width of a hand. A preferred dimensioning can for example be as follows look that the comb is about 5 to 10.2 cm long and also 5 to 10.2 cm high or wide. Advantageously One and a half to three prongs are provided per 2.5 cm length, with the individual prongs themselves

2.5 to 7 »6 cm long. To the real To facilitate the combing process, the individual tines or the entire comb are curved over their length. educated. The curve shape used for this cross-sectional quality should be chosen so that its center line defines an arc of a circle, the radius of which can range from 15 »24 cm to 91.5 cm.

The back of the comb is designed so that it is particularly easy to grip, whereby its handling is facilitated. In general, the back of the comb is slightly thicker than the average thickness of the tines, being in the range your shaft has one or more extensive furrows that run in the longitudinal direction of the comb.

An essential feature of the invention also consists in the creation of a comb as described above in FIG Combination with a suitable case, which advantageously has the same curve shape as the comb has itself, and which can be pushed over this.

It should be mentioned in this connection that the pointed ends of the teeth of the comb, if they are in the bag or a handbag pointing downwards, can damage the bag or damage it If they point upwards, even a danger for ... / 5

represent the user. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the comb back is slightly thicker than the associated prongs, and it fits securely in a suitably shaped case can be inserted without slipping out is possible.

The invention is described below with reference to the enclosed Description of the drawing, which shows an example embodiment, and it means:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of the inventive Device and

FIG. 2 is a cross section taken along line A-A of FIG.

The comb shown in Fig. 1 consists of the back section 1 and the adjoining prongs 2, which are approximately 1.25 cm apart and their average diameter approximately 0.62 cm is, the cross section is circular and tapers towards the free end. The tip 3 each individual prong is designed to be relatively blunt. As can be seen in particular from Fig. 2, when viewed from the side, the crest is arch-shaped and the radius of the center line

of the arch shown is 30.5 cm in the exemplary embodiment. As can be seen from the cross-sectional view in Fig. can also be seen, the back section 1 of the comb has a slight groove A- on each side, which improves the handling of the comb. In addition, in Fig. 2 is a suitable case 5 made of synthetic Plastic material drawn in section, in which the Kammm inserted in the manner shown can be and thereby holds in the inserted position that the widenings 6 with the the adjoining narrowed neck section in the area of the grooves 4 complementary to the cross-sectional shape of the comb itself is formed.

When using the comb, it is generally not pulled vertically through the hair, but with the The convex side is gently moved upwards by the desired incline. The soft curvature of the prongs and theirs rounded edges ensure that the hair is not subjected to any frizz effects during the combing process, whereby also no narrowing in the distance between the teeth can occur.
