Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand-held device for combing hair a number of comb teeth that can be rotated on a comb back stored and movable relative to each other by means of a drive are.
  • the purpose of the prior art handheld device is matted Parallelize hair in humans or animals, being firm rooted hair should not be pulled out if possible.
  • the Previously known handheld device is functional, but it has the Disadvantage that it is only in one direction, namely with the movable Comb forward, use it successfully.
  • the inventive solution to this problem consists in the Handheld device of the type mentioned in particular in that the Drive as one at least two adjacent comb teeth in opposite directions and with alternating direction of rotation about theirs Tine longitudinal axis pivoting rotary drive is formed.
  • the handheld device according to the invention has a number of rotatably mounted Comb teeth, two of which are adjacent comb teeth in opposite directions and with alternating direction of rotation about their tine longitudinal axis are drivable. Because no continuous rotation the comb teeth, just a back and forth swing, that is an alternate turning is provided, the machined Do not wrap hair on one of the comb teeth, causing the high performance of the handheld device according to the invention is particularly favored.
  • Handheld device through the hair of the hair alternating-rotating comb teeth expanded in such a way that Entanglements and matting can be resolved without the Hair is significantly stressed.
  • motor-driven handheld device can also be heavily matted Untangle human and animal hairs easily without doing so firmly rooted hair can be pulled out, the inventive Handheld device in every working direction and both in the right as well as in the left hand successfully and easily can be used.
  • the joint tines in one Angle of rotation less than 180 ° and preferably between 90 ° and 120 ° are movable about their tine longitudinal axis.
  • a preferred and particularly advantageous embodiment according to the invention provides that the comb teeth as flat teeth are trained.
  • lamellar or plate-shaped To understand comb teeth, the one in cross section in comparison have a large width.
  • This lamellar Flat tines can have straight longitudinal edges.
  • the invention Handheld device not only for detangling hair, but also for simultaneous massage of the skin, hair roots etc. is suitable, when the free teeth ends of the comb teeth are so rounded, that they are on the skin even during operation of the handheld device Treat the bottom of the hair but not hurt it.
  • the comb teeth on Ridge of the comb in about a line and preferably in a uniform manner Distances are arranged from each other. For the same reason the comb teeth also taper towards their free end, which also ensures a gentle treatment of the hair becomes.
  • the comb teeth in opposite and alternating directions of rotation to be able to drive sees a preferred embodiment according to the invention that the comb teeth each with a Gear wheel, friction wheel, eccentric wheel or the like rotary drive element are rotatably connected that the rotary drive members the comb teeth with a joint and on both sides of the Rotating drive elements arranged to interact counter drive element, that the rotary drive members at least two each adjacent comb teeth on opposite long sides of the Attack counter drive element and that the rotary drive elements a sliding or orbital movement of the counter-drive element in a Swiveling or rotating movement of the rotatably connected with them Implement comb teeth.

With the help of such a timing belt, a soft one and noise-reducing coupling between the rotary drive on the one hand and the comb teeth on the other hand.
  • the counter-drive element as one Rack arranged on both sides of the rotary drive elements is trained. Regardless of whether the counter drive element now is designed as a toothed belt or rack, it is advantageous if the rotational movement of a drive motor by means of a Eccentric drive in a linear-oscillating sliding movement the counter-drive element can be implemented.
  • the handheld device according to the invention is designed so that the handheld device a handle part and a head part carrying the comb teeth has, preferably by means of a drive and housing coupling are releasably connectable. This way tine arrangements and shapes optimized for various purposes Attach it as an interchangeable head on the handle.
  • Figures 1 and 2 is a handheld device 1 for combing hair shown with a number of comb teeth 2, the one Comb back 3 rotatably mounted and relative by means of a drive are movable to each other.
  • the drive is as one each two adjacent comb teeth 2 in opposite directions and with alternating Direction of rotation pivoting about its longitudinal axis Rotary drive designed.
  • the hair of a human or animal is shed through the alternating-rotating comb teeth 2 expanded in such a way that in it, loops or mattings can be resolved without that the hair is stressed significantly.
  • the comb teeth 2 are in the form of flat or lamellar flat teeth formed in its cross-section compared to the thickness have a larger width.
  • the comb teeth 2, which on Comb ridges 3 are arranged in approximately one row evenly spaced so that they are can not touch disturbing during their rotation.
  • the longitudinal edges 4 of the comb teeth 2 are on both sides wavy in the manner of a serrated edge.
  • the free Tine ends 5 of the comb teeth 2 are rounded, so that the Handheld device 1 also for even massaging the skin and Hair roots can be used without the skin on the bottom of the Hurt hair.
