1 and 2 are diagrams for explaining the animal comb brush 1 according to the first embodiment, wherein FIG. 1 (a) is a plan view, FIG. 1 (b) is a front view, and FIG. 1 (c) is It is the side view seen from the comb-tooth side.

  The animal comb brush 1 includes a plurality of comb teeth 2 for brushing and a main body 3.

  The plurality of comb teeth 2 are integrally formed with a later-described base 31 of the main body 3 in the present embodiment. The comb teeth 2 are formed in a shape extending from the base 31.

  As an example, the comb teeth 2 are formed in a plate shape that is wide in the front-rear direction and narrow in the left-right direction. As illustrated, the comb teeth 2 may be formed such that the width in the front-rear direction gradually narrows toward the tip of the tooth. In addition, preferably, at least a portion that occupies 1/3 from the tip of the tooth is formed in a shape that curves toward the front.

  The comb teeth 2 are configured to be able to change the angle with respect to the brushing surface. That is, the animal comb brush 1 includes an angle changing mechanism, whereby the comb teeth 2 are configured to be able to change the angle with respect to the brushing surface.

  The main body 3 includes a base portion 31, a connection portion 32, an elastic portion 33, a ring-shaped portion 34, a projecting portion 35, and a grip portion 36.

  As an example, the base 31 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape having an axial center, and the comb teeth 2 are formed in a shape extending from the outer peripheral surface of the base 31 so as to be orthogonal to the axial direction.

  The base 31 has an opening 311 cut along the axial direction. A push button 312 is fitted to one axial end of the base 31, and a spring 315 is provided inside the push button 312. Inside the other axial end of the base portion 31, a lock member 316 including an uneven portion is provided.

  The connection portion 32 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. The connecting portion 32 is fitted into the opening 311 of the base portion 31 and is inserted into the axial center of the base portion 31 so that the connecting portion 32 can rotate around this axial center. Further, the connection portion 32 includes a lock receiving portion 321 formed in a concavo-convex shape (for example, a gear shape) on the side wall at one end (the side far from the pressing button 312) and engages with the locking member 316 connected to the pressing button 312 . The spring 315 always biases the lock member 316 in the engagement direction, and the push button 312 is pressed to separate the lock member 316 from the lock receiving portion 321, and the lock is released. The pivoting of the connection 32 is thereby regulated.

  The elastic portion 33 is a portion that can be bent at least 10 to 20 degrees. As an example, as illustrated, the elastic portion 33 is formed to be bent in a wavelike manner in the vertical direction.

  The ring-shaped portion 34 is formed in a ring shape with a finger through hole 341 which is a through hole. Although the illustrated through-hole 341 is elliptical, it may be circular or may have another shape.

  The projecting portion 35 is extended to the ring-shaped portion 34 and includes projecting portions on both left and right sides. In addition, for example, the thickness of the protruding portion 35 in the vertical direction is larger than that of the elastic portion 33 and the ring-shaped portion 34, and the thickness of the portion corresponding to the protruding portion is formed the largest.

  The grip portion 36 is extended to the projecting portion 35. The grip portion 36 is also formed to be thicker than, for example, the elastic portion 33 and the ring-shaped portion 34, and is formed to have the largest thickness in the vicinity of the end.

  As described above, the comb teeth 2 of the animal comb brush 1 can change the angle with respect to the brushing surface. That is, when the pressing button 312 is pressed, the lock is released as described above, and the connection portion 32 becomes rotatable. In this state, when the push button 312 is released by turning a predetermined angle, the lock state is established again, and the rotation is restricted. The angle changing mechanism is not limited to this as long as the comb teeth 2 can change the angle with respect to the brushing surface.

  The animal comb brush 1 can thus adjust the brushing angle, and can work at an appropriate angle depending on the object to be brushed and further the brushing site of the object.

  Further, by including the elastic portion, the animal comb brush 1 automatically adjusts the degree of force of the comb teeth in contact with the object to be brushed. As a result, it is possible to perform brushing in accordance with the skin condition to be brushed, the hair line, the irregularities of the skeleton and the like, and furthermore, the animal-friendly brushing can be performed.

  Further, by including the ring-shaped portion 33, the projecting portion 34, and the grip portion 35, the animal comb brush 1 can be appropriately grasped and operated in accordance with the object to be brushed. For example, when brushing the hair on the back portion to be brushed, the finger can be passed through the ring 34 and the other finger can be hooked on the projection 35 so as to grip the grip 36. In addition, when brushing the hair of the belly portion to be brushed, the grip portion 36 can be grasped to perform work.
