Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is useful for removing waste hair from various animals such as dogs, cats, cows, horses, etc., and from fur used in clothing and rugs, carpets, etc. This invention relates to a hair styling comb that can be used when styling hair.

[Prior art and its problems] For example, dogs and cats kept as pets, especially animals with long hair, need to use a comb or the like on a daily basis to remove unnecessary hair and to condition the coat. If such grooming is neglected, especially during the period when the animal's hair grows back, a lot of loose hair will scatter as the animal moves, which is extremely unsanitary.

Furthermore, from the viewpoint of hygiene and aesthetics, it is necessary to use a comb or the like to remove unnecessary hair and condition the coat of fur and carpets.

For these reasons, hair styling using a comb or the like is performed, but it is known that the scattered hair that is scattered during this hair styling has a great negative impact on hygiene. Therefore, the current situation is that the work is carried out outdoors as much as possible, even though we are aware that it is undesirable to scatter the plucked hair even outdoors. However, during winter or rainy weather,
Alternatively, there may be cases where the work must be carried out indoors, such as when the object cannot be taken outdoors.In such cases, be prepared for the hair to be scattered and take precautions to minimize the negative impact. We had to do the work and clean up after the work.

In this way, in the past, it was not possible to perform hair styling without scattering the hair, and the hair that was tangled in the comb had to be removed with the fingertips, which was not only unhygienic but also made the whole process more difficult. This required a great deal of time and effort, and it was not possible to thoroughly style the hair by carefully combing the hair.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a hair styling comb that can perform hair styling work without scattering the hair, and that can easily remove the hair that has become entangled with the comb. There is.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the hair styling comb according to the present invention has an intake pipe connection part 6 and the intake pipe connection part, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 7. Passage 5 communicating with 6
a head 3 provided at the tip of the grip 2 and having an intake opening 4 communicating with the passage 5; a standing posture A protruding from the intake opening 4; A comb body 7 supported by the head 3 via a comb support shaft 9 so as to be rotatable between a collapsed position B lying down toward the passage 5, and a comb body 7 in an upright position A. 7 and the comb teeth 7b of the comb main body 7 in the laid-down position B
so that it can move back and forth between the position near the tip of
The head 3 through the scraper support shafts 8c and 17
scrapers 8, 16, 22 supported by
It has the following.

[Operations and effects of the invention] According to the hair styling comb of the present invention, the flexible suction pipe of a vacuum cleaner or the extended flexible suction pipe connected to the flexible suction pipe can be connected to the suction pipe connection part 6. By operating the vacuum cleaner and drawing air through the suction opening 4, hair styling is performed in the conventional manner using the comb body 7, so that the hair is sucked through the suction opening 4 without scattering. , automatically and continuously collected into a vacuum cleaner.

Therefore, there is no scattering of plucked hair that accompanies the comb operation, and the hair styling work can be performed satisfactorily by performing the comb operation both indoors and outdoors. Furthermore, by moving the scrapers 8, 16, and 22 at appropriate times depending on the amount of hair that is entangled with the comb teeth 7b, it is possible to easily remove the hair that is entangled with the comb teeth 7b without directly touching the hair with the fingertips. At the same time, the hair removed by the scrapers 8, 16, and 22 can be sucked and collected by the vacuum cleaner through the passage 5 without scattering, so that the entire hair styling work can be performed extremely hygienically and efficiently. It is.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hair styling comb 1 according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional side view of the main parts of the hair styling comb 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional plan view of the main parts of the hair styling comb 1. It is.

In FIG. 1, a hair styling comb 1 includes a cylindrical grip 2, a rectangular suction opening 4 opening on one side of a head 3 connected to the tip of the grip 2, and An intake pipe connection part 6 formed at the free end and communicating with the intake opening 4 through the passage 5 in the grip part 2, located near the side of the intake opening 4 on the far side from the grip part 2. A comb main body 7 and a scraper 8 are provided so as to protrude from the comb body.

The comb body 7 has comb teeth 7b protruding from a shaft base 7a in a row at regular intervals.
As shown in the drawings and FIG. 3, the pivot base 7a is rotatably mounted between the side walls 3a, 3b of the head 3 by a support shaft 9 perpendicular to the length direction of the grip part 2. The postures of the comb body 7 are shown in the upright posture A for use shown in solid lines in FIGS. 2 and 3, and in the imaginary line in FIG. It is possible to switch between the lodging posture B shown in FIG. Note that the support shaft 9 may be integrally provided so as to protrude from both ends of the shaft-lowering base 7a.

The scraper 8 has a strip plate 8a with a row of small holes 8b through which the comb teeth 7b pass through, and is attached to the comb body 7 so as to be slidable back and forth in the length direction of the comb teeth 7b. As shown in FIG. 3, support shafts 8c are protruded from both ends at positions in the extending direction of the rows of comb teeth 7b. This support shaft 8c is connected to guide grooves 10a and 1 provided in both side walls 3a and 3b of the head 3 described above.
Operating knobs 8d are attached to both ends of the support shaft 8c, passing through the support shaft 8c and on the outside of both side walls 3a and 3b.

Therefore, the scraper 8 moves between a position a near the rotation axis of the comb body 7 and a position b near the tip of the comb teeth 7b of the comb body 7 in the laid down position B, as shown by solid lines and imaginary lines in FIG. In between, the guide groove 10a,
The scraper 8 and the comb are supported so as to be able to reciprocate along the comb teeth 7b, and the scraper 8 moves from the base to the tip of the comb teeth 7b in the process of rotating the comb body 7 from the upright posture A to the laid down posture B. The main body 7 is interlocked and connected to each other. Note that the surface of the operating knob 8d is formed into a concave surface so that a fingertip can fit thereinto.

As shown in FIG. 1, the hair styling comb 1 configured as described above connects the flexible suction pipe 12 of the vacuum cleaner 11 or the extended flexible suction pipe connected to the flexible suction pipe 12 to the suction pipe. While fitting and connecting to the connecting part 6, the second
As shown by the solid line in the figure, the scraper 8 is positioned at a position a near the rotational axis of the comb body 7, the comb body 7 is in the upright position A, and the vacuum cleaner 11 is operated.

That is, by combing the target hair styling area with the comb body 7 in the standing posture A while holding the grip part 2, the comb body 7
The comb teeth 7b are used to comb out unnecessary hair and to condition the coat.At this time, the suction opening 4 is in a state to suck in outside air due to the operation of the vacuum cleaner 11, so that the combed hair, etc. is sucked into the suction opening 4, collected by the vacuum cleaner 11, and does not scatter to the surroundings.

During the hair styling work, the comb teeth 7b of the comb body 7 become entangled with pulled hair. Therefore, when the hair styling work is completed or in the middle of the hair styling work, while the vacuum cleaner 11 is still operating, the scraper 8 is guided by holding the operating knobs 8d between the thumb and forefinger of one hand, for example. When moved along the grooves 10a and 10b, the scraper 8 rotates around the support shaft 8c, rotates the comb body 7 around the support shaft 9 toward the laid down posture B, and at the same time removes the comb body 7 from the base of the comb teeth 7b. It will slide towards the tip.

As the scraper 8 slides against the comb teeth 7b, the pulled hair entangled with the comb teeth 7b is removed from the comb teeth 7.
However, when the scraper 8 reaches its stroke limit, the comb body 7 is switched to the laid-down position B as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.
Since the tips of the comb teeth 7b are directed toward the passage 5 within the intake opening 4, the scraper 8
The pulled hair pushed out from the tip of the comb teeth 7b is reliably suctioned without scattering outside the suction opening 4, and collected into the vacuum cleaner 11. This operation of the scraper 8 can be repeated multiple times as necessary.

When the hair styling comb 1 is not in use, the scraper 8 is moved to the position b near the tip of the comb teeth of the comb body 7 in the laid-down position B to switch the comb body 7 to the laid-down position B as described above. The hair styling comb 1 can be stored in a state where the comb body 7 does not protrude from the head 3. When using it again, as described above, use the operation knob 8d to move the scraper 8 to the position a near the rotational shaft of the comb body 7 through the guide groove 10a.
The comb main body 7 can be rotated back to the upright position A from the laid down position B by returning the comb body 7 by moving along the axis 0b.

When moving the scraper 8, the movement of the scraper 8 and The comb body 7 can be rotated smoothly, but the strip plate 8 of the scraper 8
The operating knob 8d may be configured to be rotatable relative to the operating knob 8d.
