Description

The present invention relates to a hair comb which contains multiple teeth matingly contact with hairs of user or pet.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A conventional hair comb contains an elastic structure which includes an arcuate elasticity sheet and a flexible limitation sheet, wherein the arcuate elasticity sheet and the flexible limitation sheet are accommodated in a fixing groove of a seat of the hair comb, and multiple teeth straightly arranged between the arcuate elasticity sheet and the flexible limitation sheet, wherein the multiple teeth extend out of the seat via multiple first orifices of the flexible limitation sheet and multiple second orifices of the seat respectively, and the arcuate elasticity sheet urges the multiple teeth to retract inward.

The multiple teeth are connected via the flexible limitation sheet, so they comb hairs of user or pet simultaneously after being pressed. However, the multiple teeth cannot matingly contact with the hairs.

The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION i

The combing assembly includes a holder, multiple teeth, multiple springs, and a cap.

The holder has a trench defined on a top thereof and accommodating the cap, and the cap has multiple columns extending from a bottom thereof. The holder has two positioning faces individually arranged on two outer surfaces thereof, a protrusion formed on a middle section of the holder, multiple first apertures defined on the trench, and multiple second apertures individually formed on bottoms of the multiple first apertures, wherein each of the multiple first apertures is more than and is in communication with each of the multiple second apertures, each first aperture accommodates each of the multiple teeth and the multiple springs, each of the multiple teeth has an operation portion, a head arranged on a top of each tooth and a diameter of the head being more than the operation portion, and a ball formed on a distal end of the operation portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE FIRST EMBODIMENTS

With reference to FIGS. 1-5, a hair comb according to a first embodiment of the present invention comprises: a hollow handle 10 and a combing assembly 60.

The hollow handle 10 is configured to accommodate the combing assembly 60, and the hollow handle 10 includes a top fringe 11 formed on a top thereof, a bottom fringe 12 formed on a bottom of the hollow handle 10, two protective extensions 13 respectively extending from two peripheral sides of the hollow handle 10, an accommodation chamber 14 defined between the two protective extensions 13, a locking groove 15 passing through the top fringe 11 and the bottom fringe 12, two holding faces 16 respectively defined on two peripheral surfaces of the hollow handle 10 among the top, the bottom and the two peripheral sides of the hollow handle 10, and a fixing orifice 17 passing through central portions of the two peripheral surfaces of the hollow handle 10, wherein a width of the locking groove 15 gradually reduces from the top fringe 11 to the bottom fringe 12, and the locking groove 15 has two tilted engagement faces 151 defined on two opposite walls thereof individually.

The combing assembly 60 includes a holder 20, multiple teeth 30, multiple springs 40, and a cap 50.

The holder 20 has a trench 21 defined on a top thereof and configured to accommodate the cap 50, and the cap 50 has multiple columns 51 extending from a bottom thereof. The holder 20 has two positioning faces 25 individually arranged on two outer surfaces thereof, a protrusion 26 formed on a middle section of the holder 20, multiple first apertures 22 defined on the trench 21, multiple second apertures 23 individually formed on bottoms of the multiple first apertures 22, wherein each of the multiple first apertures 22 is more than and is in communication with each of the multiple second apertures 23, and a shoulder 24 is defined between each first aperture 22 and each second aperture 23, wherein each first aperture 22 accommodates each of the multiple teeth 30 and the multiple springs 40.

Each of the multiple teeth 30 has an operation portion 31, a head 32 arranged on a top of each tooth 30 and a diameter of the head 32 being more than the operation portion 31, and a ball 33 formed on a distal end of the operation portion 31.

A thickness is defined between the two positioning faces 25 of the holder 20 and gradually reduces from the top of the holder 20 to the bottom of the holder 20 so that the two positioning faces 25 individually retain with the two tilted engagement faces 151.

Each first aperture 22 of the holder 20 accommodates each of the multiple teeth 30 and the multiple springs 40 and is covered by the cap 50. The holder 20 is slid into the hollow handle 10 so that the two positioning faces 25 individually retain with the two tilted engagement faces 151, and the fixing orifice 17 engages with the protrusion 26, such that the hollow handle 10 is connected with the combing assembly 60. Preferably, the two holding faces 16 have two oblique gripping sections 161 respectively defined thereon so that user matingly grips the hollow handle 10 and operates the hair comb with fingers.

When the distal end of the operation portion 31 is not pressed, a top of each spring 40 is fitted on each of the multiple columns 51 of the cap 50, and a bottom of each spring 40 abuts against the head 32 of each tooth 30 so that the head 32 is pushed by each spring 40 to contact with the shoulder 24, and each spring 40 pushes the operation portion 31 of each tooth 30 out of each second aperture 23.

Referring to FIG. 6, in a second embodiment, each spring 40 is accommodated in each of multiple fitting tubes 70, a top of each fitting tube 70 is fitted on each column 51 of the cap 50, and a bottom of each fitting tube 70 abuts against the shoulder 24, wherein each fitting tube 70 accommodates each spring 40 and the head 32 of each tooth 30 so that when each spring 40 is actuated to retract inward or to expand outward, and each fitting tube 70 limits each springs 40 smoothly.

As shown in FIG. 7, in use, the ball 33 of the operation portion 31 is pressed by user so that the operation portion 31 actuates each spring 40 to retract inward toward each first aperture 22, and each tooth 30 matingly contacts with the user.

As illustrated in FIG. 8, the user matingly grips the hollow 10 handle 10 and operates the hair comb with the fingers by way of the two oblique gripping sections 161 of the two holding faces 16.

While the first embodiments of the invention have been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiments of the invention as well as other embodiments thereof 15 may occur to those skilled in the art. The scope of the claims should not be limited by the first embodiments set forth in the examples, but should be given the broadest interpretation consistent with the description as a whole.
