Description
- The invention relates to a device for the dematting of hair on a hairy surface, such as the coat of an animal.
- The present invention aims to provide a handy and comparatively small, electrically driven device for the fast and straightforward dematting and brushing of the coat of for example an animal, such as the coat of a dog. It has to be effective for all breeds: short haired, long haired, curly haired and all with or without an undercoat. The only exception hereto is the removal of felted mats. These mats are almost impossible to remove and are mostly removed by the professional dog trimming salon with scissors.
- Techniques and tools that are currently used for this in the trimming salon and by private persons are different types of hand brushes and combs. The coat is then repeatedly brushed on the same spot until the mat has been combed out. This is a time consuming and tough job that can take up to three hours.
-
DE 10 2014 100615 B3 discloses a brush device for brushing, combing, grooming, massaging or detangling, in particular for the coat and skin care of domestic animals, comprising a cassette holder for receiving a brush cassette having a drivable brush belt. The cassette holder and the brush cassette are designed in such a way that the brush cassette can be inserted into, and removed again from, the cassette holder. -
US 2009/223008 A1 discloses a self-cleaning rotary brush with means for accumulating collected hair for disposal. The brush includes a primary cleaning cylinder with a series of tines that are adapted to clean the fur of the animal and a secondary cleaning cylinder with associated tines that are designed to intermesh with the tines of the primary cylinder. A collection tray is located to the rear of the secondary cleaning cylinder. -
US 4 121 314 A discloses a collapsible brush provided with bristle members having bristles of varying length so that a curved top surface is provided to aid in the brushing of a woman's hair. - To accomplish the abovementioned goal an automatic chain belt dematting device, as defined in claim 1, has been developed in which brush pins are tiltably arranged. A special guide in which the chain runs provides that the brush pins stand up straight on the position where the chain runs over the coat of the dog, deliver their brushing action there, and lie flat when leaving this position. In the position where the pins lie tilted flat the belt runs under a fine comb which ensures that the hairs are pulled from the pins and are not taken into the inside of the device. Because of this technique long hairs of the dog, if present, do not get stuck in the drive mechanism of the device and the device can be used on every hair length.
- The brush pins may also be embodied as torsion springs or bendable pins such that they, when encountering too high of a resistance of a mat which is too big, do not get stuck in a mat but instead can simply spring away. The coat and the skin of the dog are hereby protected against injuries and an overload for the device is avoided.
- The hair catcher has a further function and works as a protection and ensures that the user cannot get between the brush chain and the housing with his hands or fingers. Furthermore, parts of the body of the dog are hereby also protected against getting pinched.
- In combination with the small dimensions and the limited weight of the device, the above mentioned tilt- and spring technique has the advantage that one can get onto the skin and to places which are difficult to reach. Because of this it is an easy to handle and effective device.
- Furthermore, the position of the brush pins in brush position can be adjusted. Generally, the pins are positioned for example at an angle of 90 degrees in relation to the chain, however, it is possible to give the pins a greater or smaller operating angle. A larger angle provides for a smoother treatment, a smaller angle for a stiffer treatment. This latter position is recommended if the coat has many mats. The larger angle is recommended if only a normal maintenance brushing treatment is desired. This adjustment is performed by rotating the adjustment knob on the side of the chain belt to the desired position.
- As an alternative to the application of an adjustable angle use can be made of different brush chains in which different angles are pre-set. Furthermore, a variation of belts can be developed with different numbers of pins, longer or shorter pins and different materials for the pins can be used to achieve a harder or softer brushing effect.
- The device mainly comprises two modules:
- 1. A drive module with the output drive of the chain which is embodied in the form of a handle.
Depending on the customer's wish this can be provided with an adapter or with a battery. - 2. A chain module in which the chain runs around. This module is a replacement part which needs to be easily and quickly exchangeable when worn out. Moreover, there are multiple types of chain available which need to be exchangeable during a treatment. The types of chain differ in spring tension, length and material of the brush pins and the degree of occupation of the chain.
- The device is easily implemented for different types of coat. The development has taken place on the coat of the dog; however, the coats of other hairy animals are also well and effectively treatable with it. One might think here of, for example, cats and horses. Moreover, in principle it is also well usable for human hair. For this last application the pins may for example be made of plastic to get a softer effect on the scalp.
- Somewhat different than formulated hereabove the invention comprises a device for the dematting of hairs of a hairy surface, such as the coat of an animal, which device comprises a drive module and a chain module,
- wherein the chain module comprises a frame and two chain rollers mounted therein of which during use of the device at least one is coupled to a drive motor of the drive module,
- wherein further provided is one or more parallel chains which extend around and between both chain rollers and which during use of the device are brought into movement by means of the at least one driven chain roller,
- which of one or more chains are provided with brushing elements which are connected resiliently tiltably around a tilt axis transverse to the direction of movement of the applicable chain with said chain and which each comprise at least one outwardly tiltable brush pin and an inwardly tiltable tilting cam connected therewith,
- wherein is provided a tilting cam guide which is connected with the frame and wherein the tilting cam guide and the tilting cams are arranged such that on the side of the chain module which during use of the device is brought into contact with the hairs of the hairy surface to be dematted, the tilting cams under influence of the driven movement of the chains during the passage of the tilting cam guide are pushed in the direction of the chain by the tilting cam guide whereby the brush pins which are connected with the tilting cams are pushed in the direction of the hairy surface.
- The chain module and the drive module are preferably arranged to be coupled to each other and to be decoupled from each other by the user, wherein the at least one driven chain roller is then coupled to the drive motor of the drive module and decoupled therefrom, respectively. For example, the at least one driven chain roller is coupled to the drive motor of the drive module via a gear which is connected with the drive motor and a gear which is connected with the at least one driven chain roller.
- Furthermore, preferably a hair catch module is provided which comprises hair catch pins which extend, determined in the direction of movement of the of the chains, near the end of the chain cam guide at an angle against the direction of movement of the chains from outside at angle in the direction of the chains, wherein the brush pins and the hair catch pins are arranged such that they can pass each other substantially unhindered, wherein any hairs being taken by the brush pins during use of the device are taken outside by the hair catch pins. The hair catch module is preferably inwardly, in the direction of the chains, and outwardly tiltably connected with the chain module.
