"Hairdressing comb"

The invention relates to a hairdressing comb by far handle part arranged by the prong part, in particular a handle comb.

Very dense or not very rigid, fine, surface rough, but especially tangled hair often causes pain when combing. During the organization process, the hair is subjected to strong tensile stresses which affect the pain-sensitive Working back on hair roots. Such hairs become sensitive to pain in the everyday hairdressing process either brushed or combed by removing the comb from the hair and inserting it in if the pulling force is too high Is reinserted towards the scalp. While brushing the flexible bristles automatically for sufficient The combing can to a certain extent use an internal control loop to ensure low tensile values the tensile stress caused by the comb to a bearable Limit measure. Difficulties arise, among other things, when the comb itself is subject to tensile stress does not withstand and loses or breaks tines as well as when the combing is concerned by a third person and the control loop setting the tensile stress to a tolerable level is interrupted or very much acts delayed.

The invention is based on the object of reducing the tensile stress in a hairdressing comb of the type mentioned at the beginning to make the treated hair adjustable to a maximum value to be specified. The inventive

.5 solution is characterized by an essentially in the plane of the prong part approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the prongs, hinge-like joint between the prong and handle part and one acting in the circumferential direction of the axis of the joint, a combing position defining holding mechanism with overturning when a predetermined tensile stress is exceeded of the tine part from the combing position into a non-combing position or sliding position triggering peder overload. In the sliding position, the comb is essentially at an acute angle to the direction of pull running direction "sliding" pulled out of the hair.

The invention accordingly provides a similar to that flexible bristles of a brush working flexible comb created in which a spring mechanism at the beginning a predetermined, approximately pain-causing tensile stress for the tipping of the comb, i.e. the tine part provides relative to the handle part possibly encompassing the handle. The overload protection can thereby individually tailored to hair type, hair length or hair quality will. The holding mechanism is also expediently designed in such a way that it switches off the overload protection device to lock and the comb is to be used in the usual way. The overload protection itself is in accordance with further invention depending on the prescribed direction of movement in the combing position (pulling or combing direction)

determined by the force of a tension or compression spring. The overload protection is preferably designed in such a way that that until the moment of the Unucippens von Kämmund the sliding position a proper or normal combing is possible and is not hindered in a disruptive manner.

Further details of the invention are explained on the basis of the schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment. Show it:

! Pig. 1 a comb in the unfolded state; and FIG. 2 shows a comb in the closed state.

The flexible comb shown schematically in Fig. 1 and 2 and denoted as a whole by 1 consists of the Prong part 2 and the handle part 3 arranged movably for this purpose with a distance from the prong part 2 provided Handle 4. Essentially in the plane of the tine part 2 and approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the tines 5 a hinge-like joint 6 connecting the prong and handle parts (2, 3) is provided. In the circumferential direction 7 of the axis of the joint 6 acts in a comb position defining holding mechanism 8 with overturning of the when a predetermined tensile stress is exceeded Tine part 2 from the combing position into a non-combing position or sliding position triggering spring overload protection.

The overload protection can depending on the prescribed 'Direction of movement in the combing position (combing direction) determined by the force of a tension spring or a compression spring be. If, in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the direction of combing is defined by the arrow 9 is, the overload protection is determined by a compression spring limiting the holding mechanism 8. before After combing, the comb 1 is brought into the unfolded state according to FIG. 1 in this case. As long as the
