Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a comb for hair styling. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, a comb in which the comb body 1 is made of plastic and the comb teeth 2 are made of metal spring wire was proposed primarily for ease of manufacture.

[Conventional technology]

Among this type of comb, there are some in which comb teeth 2 made of metal spring wire are embedded in a comb body 1 made of plastic. However, regardless of whether the comb main body 1 and the comb teeth 2 are integrally molded with an insert or the comb teeth 2 are implanted into the comb main body 1 later, the manufacturing cost is extremely high in such a conventional configuration.

[Means for solving problems]

Focusing on this fact, this invention improves how to integrate the comb teeth 2 made of metal spring wire into the comb body 1 made of plastic, making processing easier and cheaper. The aim is to make it manufacturable.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention
As shown in the figure, the comb consists of three members: a plastic comb main body 1, a large number of comb teeth 2 made of metal spring wire, and a comb tooth holder 3, which are each molded separately. After temporarily assembling and holding a large number of comb teeth 2 in parallel in the comb tooth holder 3, the holder 3 is inserted into the insertion groove 5 on the side of the comb main body 1 and secured by adhesive or other appropriate means. It is designed to be fixed.

〔Example〕

Figures 1 to 4 show the first part of the comb according to the present invention.
An embodiment is shown, which consists of a comb main body 1 which is a plastic injection molded product, a large number of comb teeth 2 made of metal spring wire, and a comb tooth holder 3 made of plastic to hold them.

In FIG. 3, the comb main body 1 has a handle 4 integrally formed on the proximal end side, and has an insertion groove 5 on the lower edge of the distal end into which the comb tooth holder 3 is inserted almost entirely. Front teeth 6 and rear teeth 7 are integrally formed to protrude from the comb body 1 before and after this insertion groove 5.

In FIG. 2, the comb tooth holder 3 has a large number of engagement grooves 8 formed at a constant pitch along the longitudinal direction, and a comb tooth 2 bent like a pine needle is inserted into each engagement groove 8 from above. It is elastically engaged and held in the connecting portion 9 between the respective engagement grooves 8 .

As shown in Fig. 2, a slightly flat metal spring wire is used as the comb teeth 2, and although it is difficult to deform in the direction in which the comb teeth are parallel when it is inserted into the engagement groove 8, it is not easily deformed in the direction in which the comb teeth are combed. It is becoming more susceptible to elastic deformation. Both ends of each comb tooth 2 bent like a pine needle have different lengths on the left and right, and a protective member 10 made of plastic is attached to each tip.

When assembling the present comb, first, a large number of comb teeth 2 are temporarily assembled and held in the holder 3, and in this state, the holder 3 is inserted into the insertion groove 5 of the comb body 1 and fixed with adhesive. With this, the holder 3 including the two groups of comb teeth is fixed to the comb main body 1 in a manner that prevents it from coming off. Specifically, it is anticipated that adhesive will be poured into the bottom of the insertion groove 5 and the insertion end surface of the holder 3 will be adhesively fixed to the bottom of the groove.

5 and 6 show a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a slit 11 is formed in the comb tooth holder 3 over the entire length in the longitudinal direction, and the slit 11 has a predetermined pitch in the longitudinal direction. A slightly wide groove portion 12 is formed. And this groove part 12
The pine needle-shaped comb teeth 2 are elastically deformed slightly inward and temporarily inserted and held, and then the holder 3 is inserted into the insertion groove 5 of the comb main body 1. The outer shape of the holder 3 is formed into a tapered shape with the insertion tip end tapered in the free state, and when the holder 3 is inserted into the insertion groove 5 of a constant width, the holder 3 deforms so that the entrance of the slit 11 closes. The comb tooth portion inside the holder 3 is also elastically deformed inward, so that the loop end portion at the innermost end of the comb tooth 2 cannot be extracted.

Although the comb teeth 2 in each of the above embodiments are bent in the shape of a pine needle, for example, in FIG. You can also do this.

In addition to adhesion, the comb tooth holder 3 can be fixed to the comb main body 1 by fitting and fixing using uneven engagement.
Caulking, heat fusion, screw fastening, etc. can be selected as desired.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention as described above, the comb teeth 2 are made of a metal spring wire that can be used satisfactorily for a long period of time without breakage or permanent deformation. Nevertheless, each of the comb teeth 2 is temporarily assembled to the comb tooth holder 3, and then assembled to the comb main body 1 via the holder 3, so the overall assembly is extremely simple and inexpensive. It has the advantages that it can offer.
