BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hair-conditioning brush for combing human hair and long hair of long-haired pet animals such as dogs and cats to align their directions.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a hairdressing brush for combing hair with one hand, a large number of bristles are planted on a brush stand with a handle. A general conventional example of this kind of hair-conditioning brush is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, and a conventional example of a special purpose is shown in FIG.

A hairdressing brush 10 shown in FIG.
A plurality of straight bristle-like brush bristles 16 are planted vertically in the direction 3. The brush bristles 16 are wires, resin bristles, etc., and various types such as those having elasticity and those having high rigidity. This brush 10
When the brush hair 16 is inserted into the human hair 1 and moved in the hair adjusting direction X indicated by the arrow of FIG. 5 through which the hair 1 flows, the brush hair 16 combs the hair 1 in the same direction to adjust the hair. In the hairdressing brush 11 of FIG. 7, the surface on which the brush bristles 17 of the brush base 14 are planted is the curved surface 19. The brush bristles 17 are substantially radially erected on the curved surface 19 of the brush 11 in the hairdressing direction X indicated by the arrow in FIG.

The hair-conditioning brush 12 of FIG. 7 is a brush suitable for combing the long hair 20 of a pet animal such as a long-haired dog to remove the pull-out handle 20 ′. It is planted with being inclined in the same direction. With the concave side of the V-shaped brush bristles 18 facing the hair-setting direction X, the brush bristles 18
When the long bristles 20 are combed with, the slip-outs 20 ′ in the long side 20 are caught in the recesses of the doglegged brush bristles 18 and scraped off.

[0005]

When combing the hair 1 having a high density with the brush 10 shown in FIG. 5, the brush hair 16 moves in the direction of about 90 ° with respect to the hair 1, so that the friction resistance with the hair 1 is increased. Becomes large, and the hair 1 may be curled by the brush bristles 16 when strongly combed, and the hair 1 may be cut when bad. Also,
When combing the knotted hair 1, the brush hair 16 is knotted 1 '
If it is impossible to comb it by catching on it, combing hair 1 ′ may be cut, which may cause pain to the person.

In the brush 11 of FIG. 6, the brush bristles 17 a at the front stage in the hair-adjusting direction X release the hair 1 and the brush bristles 17 at the middle stage.
Since the hair 1 in which b and the brush bristles 17c in the subsequent stage are disentangled is combed, even the hair 1 having a high density can be combed relatively well.
However, when the hair 1 has the knotted hair 1 ', the front-stage brush bristles 17a inclined in the direction in which the knotted hair 1'is present cannot bite into the knotted hair 1', and the knotted hair 1'cannot be combed. It is highly likely that the tangled hair 1'is cut.

The brush 12 of FIG. 7 is suitable for combing long hair 20 of a pet animal to remove hair loss 20 ′. But,
When a person's hair is combed with this type of brush 12, the frictional resistance between the V-shaped brush bristles 18 and the hair is naturally large, and the tip portion of the V-shaped brush bristles 18 is easy to bite into the entangled hair and Not suitable for hair styling.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to
An object of the present invention is to provide a hair-conditioning brush that can smoothly comb even high-density hair or hair with curled hair.

[0009]

The technical means for achieving the above object of the present invention is to provide a plurality of straight bristle brush bristles on a brush base at predetermined intervals in one direction with respect to a direction perpendicular to the brush base. The support is variably tilted between a first tilt angle direction that tilts at an angle and a second tilt angle direction that tilts at a predetermined angle in a direction opposite to the direction perpendicular to the brush base. It can be switched so that the bristles are planted and the bristles are inclined in the direction opposite to the hair-regulating direction.

[0010]

[0011]

[Operation] When combing hair with straight bristle brushes that are tilted and set up on the brush base, the straight bristle brush hairs are inclined in the opposite direction to the direction of combing the hairs. The frictional resistance is reduced, and the tip of the brush hair does not bite into the knotted hair, and the knotted hair is unraveled so that the brushed hair smoothly combs the hair.

Further, since the inclination direction of the straight bristle-shaped bristles inclined to the brush base is variable to the left and right in the vertical direction of the brush base, it can be used by holding the brush base of the brush in the right hand and in the left hand. Appropriately adaptable to any usage.
