Definitions

  • the invention relates to a brush with a comb.
  • a comb is used for cleaning the brush, the operation is delicate because the shape and spacing of the teeth are not adapted for this operation, which makes cleaning long and imperfect. It is necessary then remove the hair from the comb which can also be delicate depending on the comb used. In addition, the use of a comb ordinary for this operation may damage the brush.
  • Document FR-A-429,912 describes a composite article forming shoehorn, one end of which forms a comb with metal teeth curved. This item can be used to extract hair caught in a brush. Unfortunately, the shape of the teeth has a right angle which does not allow the effective grip nor the easy release of the hair. In besides and above all, cleaning a brush requires having this item to layout, which turns out to be bulky.
  • the document FR-A-2 467 566 describes, the combination of a brush and a styling comb.
  • the brush presents on its back, a set of rectilinear ribs of width equal to the empty space between two consecutive teeth of the comb.
  • the comb is integral with the brush.
  • it is necessary to use a comb styling with conventional rectilinear teeth which we have seen above they do not allow good hair pulling prisoners of the brush.
  • the presence of the comb on top of the brush strongly hinders the grip on the handle, which explains no doubt that this device was not marketed.
  • the problem which the invention proposes to solve is that of effective cleaning of brushes, combined with the problem of ergonomics of such a brush.
  • the invention relates to a brush of the type comprising a handle and a head of which at least one of the faces comprises a plurality of hairs, said brush being coupled to a comb formed by a body having a free outer face and an inner face, and a plurality of teeth connected to the inside of this body.
  • the invention relates to a brush which comprises in its handle a removable and retractable comb whose free end of the teeth is curled, allowing the comb to pass through the hairs of the hair brush, working in one direction, to remove hair from this brush, and resume the clump of hair recovered by simple rotation by acting in the other direction.
  • the brush fills its traditional styling function, while the associated comb serves only cleaning accessories and not styling. Otherwise, as the outer face of the comb body is flush with the surface of the handle, the brush user is not bothered by the presence of the comb which is camouflaged in the handle in a perfectly ergonomic way.
  • each tooth of the comb follows the general shape of an L including a first branch main connected by its end to a secondary branch whose the axis is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the branch main, the internal face of the first branch forming an obtuse angle ( ⁇ ) with the internal face of the second branch.
  • the brush user has a convenient and hygienic for removing hair or the like inserted into the brush.
  • the configuration of the handle and the comb does not hinder the gripping the brush. In this way, in the inserted position, the comb is an integral part of the brush.
  • the space between the teeth of the comb is slightly greater than the width of a tuft of hair.
  • the housing is formed of a notch arranged in the thickness of the handle, directed parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle, and whose dimensions coincide substantially with those of the comb that can allow embedding.
  • the means intended to hold the comb in the handle are constituted by a male member situated on a longitudinal face of the housing, said member being intended to cooperate with the secondary branch of at least one tooth of the comb and by a vertical portion of the comb, parallel to the teeth, and comprising at its free end a lug intended to cooperate with an opening opening on the face of the handle opposite to that comprising the opening of the housing.
  • the means intended to release the comb from the housing are formed by a hollow elliptical portion, formed on the face of the sleeve opposite to the opening of the housing, said hollow portion following the shape of the inner end of the thumb, and gradually connected to the through opening, to allow support on the vertical portion.
  • the housing has organs females intended to cooperate with male organs provided for this purpose on the comb, in order to maintain and allow to release (or restore place) the comb in the housing very easily.
  • the comb according to the invention shown in Figures 1 and 2 has a body (1) and a plurality of parallel teeth (2).
  • each tooth (2) follows the general shape of an L including a first main branch (3) connected at its base to the body (1) and connected to its free end to a secondary branch (4), the axis of which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the main branch (3).
  • the face internal (5) of the first branch (3) forms an obtuse angle a with the face internal (6) of the second branch (4). In one embodiment practical, this angle ⁇ is close to 115 degrees.
  • the invention also relates to a brush (see FIGS. 5 to 7) designated by the general reference (10), comprising a head (11) with bristles (12) and a grip handle (13).
  • this handle (13) has a housing (14) in which is embedded a comb illustrated in Figure 3 designated by the general reference (20).
  • This comb (20) has everything first a base (21) similar to (1) slightly flared, having a plurality of teeth (22,23) whose free ends (24,25) are bent (26,27) all in the same direction.
  • the angle ⁇ is close to 115 degrees.
  • the housing (14) arranged in the thickness of the handle (13) is directed parallel to the longitudinal axis of this handle (13) and its dimensions substantially coincide with those of the comb for allow its embedding (see Figure 7) in the thickness of the handle.
  • the housing (14) has, first of all forward and on the bottom, a boss (30) intended to cooperate with the part curved (4) tooth (22) located at the front end of the comb (20) (see figure 9).
  • the comb (20) has a rearward portion vertical (35) parallel to the teeth (22) having at its free end a lug (36).
  • the references (37,38) designate the two faces of this portion lateral (35).
  • the end (37) opens onto the opposite face of the handle by an opening (40) provided for this purpose to receive the vertical portion (35) which comes to be embedded there.
  • the through opening is gradually connected to an ellipse (41) conforming to the shape of the internal end of the thumb, to allow the comb (20) to be released by a simple pressure in this ellipse (41).
  • the reference (42) designates an opening intended to allow hang the hairbrush (10).
  • the comb (20) is locked in the handle (13) thanks to the boss (30) formed for this purpose on the wall of the housing (14) directed towards the front of the brush and which retains the end curved from behind the tooth, and also thanks to the cooperating lug (36) with the opening (40).
  • the comb (20) is embedded in the housing (14). Once the brushing operation is finished, the user releases the comb (20) by pressing on the end (37) in the elliptical opening (41). Once the comb is removed, just pass it in the bristles (12) of the brush, bent teeth (26) forward so to retain all the hair trapped in the brush. Cleaning is more effective when teeth have a number of suitable obstacles to hold back the hair.
  • each tooth may be ribs (17) adjoining each tooth and defining a limited space between each tooth, capable of retaining the hair (see figure 11).
  • the teeth may also have roughness or roughness, intended to constitute points of attachment of the hair.
  • the end of each tooth has two points (18), which doubles the attachment points (see Figure 12).
  • the comb was described in its application to a hairbrush, it goes without saying that such a comb can also receive other applications for any type of brush can collect any hairs, threads or waste.
  • any type of instrument including a handle and stacking or wrapping such as for example in combination with brushes for cleaning animals, such as horses, or for clothes brushes, for paintbrushes or for cleaning broom hairs.
