Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hair brush.
  • Conventional hair brushes include an elongated member typically including a handle segment and a bristle segment.
  • the bristle segment is a solid, cylindrical shape having a constant diameter throughout its axial length.
  • the hair brush includes an elongated member having a handle segment and a bristle substrate segment.
  • the bristle substrate defines a cylindrical core having a smoothly curve, concave central region and radially larger end regions.
  • a plurality of bristles are attached over the bristle substrate.
  • the bristles have substantially equal length such that the outer peripheral portions of the plurality of bristles define a smooth curve, concave shape complementary to the concave central region of the bristle substrate.
  • the bristles are further segmented into groups of small bundles and these bundles are disposed over the peripheral surface of the bristle substrate in a series. Each series of bristle bundles are axially spaced apart in a common radial plane passing through the axial center line of the brush.
  • a rectangular bristle substrate with a concave shape is also disclosed herein.
  • the present invention relates to a hair brush.
  • FIG. 1 diagrammatically shows a perspective view of hair brush 12.
  • FIG. 2 diagrammatically illustrates a side view of the hair brush and
  • FIG. 3 diagrammatically illustrates a schematic of the hair brush particularly showing the hourglass shape of bristle substrate segment 14.
  • Brush 12 includes handle segment 13 and bristle substrate segment 14.
  • bristle substrate 14 has a generally cylindrical core segment with a smoothly curved concave central region 16 and radially larger end regions 18, 20.
  • Bristle substrate 14 carries a plurality of bristles 25 on its peripheral surface.
  • the plurality of bristles 25 are grouped together in small bundles, one of which is identified as bristle bundle 27 in FIG. 1.
  • a sub-plurality of bundles are axially aligned in a row such as row 29 shown in FIG. 1.
  • Bristle row 29 is linear such that all bundles in the row of bristles are disposed in a common radial plane extending through the axial centerline of the core. See bristle row 31 in FIG. 2. Further, the bristle rows are circumferentially distributed about the peripheral surface of bristle substrate 14.
  • This circumferential or angular offset between adjacent radial rows of bristles reduces the force necessary to pass the brush through the hair of the user, enables faster drying of the hair with a blow dryer and requires less heat to blow-dry the hair. Further, the hourglass shape of concave central region 16 (FIG. 3) enables faster blow drying time, less heat and less effort to brush the user's hair. The brush also gives the hair style more volume. The angular offset between radial rows also enhances massaging of the scalp during a brushing session.
  • Hair brush 12 is anatomically configured such that the hourglass shape of curved concave central region 16 (FIG. 3) generally matches curves on the user's head.
  • Handle segment 13 has a continuously curved convex region 40 and radially smaller end regions 42, 44.
  • the bristles have substantially equivalent lengths 46 such that the outer periphery of a row of bristles defines a smooth curved concave shape about central region 50 that is complementary the hourglass shape 16 of bristle substrate 14.
  • FIG. 4 diagrammatically illustrates hair brush 12 with an elongated, generally rectangular member 43.
  • a cross-sectional aspect of member 43 and 77, from the perspective of section line 80'-80," is generally rectangular in shape. This generally rectangular cross-sectional shape is carried forward to core segment 70 which is part of the bristle substrate segment.
  • FIG. 5 shows the end as a rectangular shape.
  • Brush 12 includes handle segment 78 and a bristle substrate segment extending over region 72.
  • Bristles 25 protrude upward from the smoothly curved concave central region 74 of the elongated, rectangular shape of bristle substrate segment 72.
  • Concave central region 74 and bristles 25 create a concave plurality of bristles at region 76.
  • the angular offset of bristles 25 in linear rows is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the brush may be made of wood, plastic, aluminum or other material. Any combination of those elements can be utilized in the brush.
  • the brush can be manufactured with different lengths and in different colors.
  • the present invention has industrial application in the hair brush technological arts.
