SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the gist of the present invention is to configure a grooming brush main body capable of being filled with a deodorant, an fragrance, or a chisel removing powder, and to form a side wall and a bottom wall. At the required location, when the grooming brush body is swung, the components of the deodorant and the fragrance inside are discharged from the small holes in the side wall, and when the flea removing powder is filled, it is discharged from the small holes in the bottom wall. Further, a hair removal plate having holes through which brushes of the grooming brush main body pass and holes through which fleas removing powder passes are provided on the outer surface of the bottom wall of the grooming brush main body, and one end of the hair removal plate is provided. There is a grooming brush whose side is pivotally connected to one end side in the length direction of the grooming brush main body.

Further, in the above construction, the grooming brush main body is formed into an elongated box shape, and one end side in the length direction is opened to form a deodorant filling port, and a hair removing plate is further provided to the filling port. The end portion on the opposite side may be pivotally connected, and the lid body closing the filling port may be integrally provided upright at the end portion on the filling port side.

Furthermore, in the above construction, the hair removing plate is urged by a spring so that the free end side is separated from the bottom wall of the grooming brush main body, while the free end side of the hair removing plate is the bottom of the grooming brush main body. It may be provided with an appropriate holding means for holding the state of being in contact with the wall and releasing the holding when desired.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a perspective view, FIG. 2 is a perspective view in which a grooming brush body is disassembled, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view in which a hair removing plate is moved. Is.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a main body of a grooming brush having an elongated box shape, which is made of plastic. Further, the grooming brush main body 1 is constructed by integrating a pair of elongated upper box 2 and lower box 3 into one body. The end face on the one end side in the length direction is opened to form a filling port 4 for a deodorant or the like.

Reference numeral 5 is a small hole provided at a required position on the side wall of the upper box 2 in the grooming brush main body 1. When the grooming brush main body 1 is swung, components such as a deodorant therein are generated by convection of air. It flows out. In this embodiment, it is provided only on one side wall.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a brush provided on the bottom wall 3a of the lower box 3 of the grooming brush body 1. Reference numeral 7 is a small hole provided in a required portion of the bottom wall 3a of the lower box 3, and when the grooming brush main body 1 is swung, chisel dust (not shown) in the inside is spilled out.

Reference numeral 8 is a brush 6 of the grooming brush main body 1.
It is a hair-removal plate for scraping off hair that is entangled in the inner part, and is molded from plastic. Further, the hair removal plate 8 is the brush 6 of the grooming brush main body 1.
A hole 9 through which each of the above and a hole 10 through which fleas are removed are provided. The hair removing plate 8 has one end side pivotally connected to an end of the grooming brush main body 1 opposite to the filling port 4 in the lengthwise direction, and the end of the grooming brush main body 1 on the filling port 4 side is A lid 11 for standing up the filling port 4 is provided upright.
Reference numeral 12 is a pivotally connected shaft. The other 13 is a deodorant contained in a pack.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. When the deodorant 13 is filled in the grooming brush main body 1, the hair removal plate 8 is lowered to lower the bottom wall 3
Separate from a and enter through the open filling port 4. The filling is completed by raising the hair removal plate 8 again after the insertion. The same applies to the case of filling with chisel dust (not shown).

When brushing is performed, the grooming brush main body 1 is swung, and air entering from the small holes 5 causes convection, whereby the components of the deodorant 13 inside flow out from the small holes 5.

When the flea removing powder is filled, the flea removing powder flows out from the small hole 7 in the bottom wall 3a of the grooming brush main body 1 by swinging, and the hole 1 of the hair removal plate 8 is removed.
It spills down through 0. Then, when brushing, the fleas are thoroughly scrubbed into the fur by the brush and can be evenly distributed throughout.

When the brushing is completed,
When the hair removal plate 8 is lowered and separated from the bottom wall of the grooming brush main body 1, this scrapes the hair caught by the brush 6. Therefore, it is possible to save the trouble of pinching the brush 6 with one hand and removing the fur.

Next, the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS.
An embodiment will be described.

In this embodiment, the hair removing plate is separated from the bottom wall of the grooming brush main body with one touch by using the force of the spring. The rest of the configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the difference in the following configuration, and thus the same members are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted.

Thus, in this embodiment, the grip handle 1a is integrally connected to the portion of the grooming brush main body 1 opposite to the filling port 4. The hair removing plate 8 is urged by the wire spring 14 so as to be separated from the bottom wall 3a of the grooming brush main body 1, while the free end side of the hair removing plate 8 contacts the bottom wall 3a of the grooming brush main body 1. There is provided an appropriate holding means 15 for holding the state of the position and releasing the holding when desired.

In this embodiment, the holding means 15 is constructed as follows. That is, the protrusion 1 is formed on the rear portion of the portion 8a of the hair removal plate 8 through which the pivotally connecting shaft 12 is inserted.
6 is provided, while the grip handle 1 of the grooming brush main body 1
A lever 18 having a step portion 17 for engaging the tip of the projection 16 on the lower surface at one end side is axially supported 19 so as to be vertically swingable, and the lever 18 is held by a coil spring 20. Is pushed to a position where it engages with the projection 16, and the lever 18 is further pushed down by pushing down the operation button 21 whose top portion projects from the upper surface of the grip handle 1a of the grooming brush main body 1. Is configured so as to rotate in a direction away from the protrusion 16. still,
Reference numeral 21a is a stopper provided on the operation button 21.

Thus, in the case of this embodiment, when the operation button 21 is pushed down against the action of the coil spring 20 after the brushing is completed, the lever 18 swings vertically with the shaft 19 as a fulcrum. However, the step 17 is removed from the protrusion 16. As a result, the hair removing plate 8 is separated from the bottom wall 3a of the grooming brush main body 1 by the action of the wire spring 14, and scrapes the hair caught by the brush 6. When returning the hair removal plate 8, return the hair removal plate 8 with the operation button 21 depressed.
Finally, the finger may be released from the operation button 21.
