Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a dressing tool having a linear motor. [Prior Art] Regardless of the prior art, there is still a need for an improved uncoupling device. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION - Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a finishing tool as claimed. The present invention provides a vibrating ❿ hair styling device comprising a grip member and a bristled brush head. The device comprises a linear motor. The linear motor is any motor that vibrates by reciprocating vibration along a fixed axis. This is in contrast to a motor that rotates the drive shaft about the axis of the drive shaft. Preferably, the handle houses the motor. Preferably, the handle comprises a rigid material and the rigid material provides a fixed outer casing for the motor such that the motor does not move during use. The inclusion of the motor in the handle provides the optimum weight distribution of the brush of the present invention during use. Preferably, the motor is positioned such that it reciprocates along an axis that is parallel to the generally longitudinal axis of the brush, i.e., along the center of the brush. This causes the brush head to vibrate in a plane parallel to the surface of the scalp during use and does not vibrate into or out of the plane parallel to the scalp and thus damage the scalp during use. Preferably, the handle comprises an inner section and an outer section. Preferably, at least 30% of the length of the outer section of the outer section partially or completely surrounds the inner section. 136017.doc -6 - 200939993 • Preferably the 'outer section is positioned so that the user does not touch the inner part during use. This is to reduce the vibration of the motor opponent during use. Preferably, the inner section is rigidly coupled to the brush head for efficient transmission of vibration of the motor to the brush head during use. In this embodiment, the inner portion and the outer portion are preferably connected to each other by a damper to reduce vibration of the handle arm during use. Preferably, the outer section includes a grip. Preferably, the inner section cooperates internally with the outer section such that when the inner section vibrates during use, the inner section slides axially within the outer section. Preferably, the gap between the inner section and the outer section is smaller than 〇 2 claws, more preferably 0.05 to 0.15 mm ° . Preferably, the inner section has an elliptical cross section. This improves the integrity of the handle during use. A suitable damping member includes a layer of resilient material between the handle and the head. Preferred elastic materials include spring steel, elastomer and rubber. The preferred damping members are elastic bellows and compressible gaskets. The linear motor achieves axial vibration of the brush head. The axial vibration of the brush head means that the brush head moves the bristles to the left and right on the brush head. Preferably, the movement is also directed toward and away from the grip while remaining in substantially the same plane. The vibrating bristles that move into and out of their fixed plane experience undesirable user experience during use because they move toward and away from the scalp at high frequencies. Vibrating bristles that vibrate in a plane parallel to the scalp during use and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the hair during use provide an optimal untie. The brush head of the present invention comprises bristles for wiping the hair and decompressing the hair. Preferably, the bristles are fixed to a flat brush head (in which case the bristles will protrude substantially in the same direction) or a cylindrical brush head (in which case the brush head comprises radially protruding bristles) ). Preferably, the brush head is detachable from the remainder of the brush. This allows the user to use different brush heads for different purposes. Different brush heads may include a cylindrical head, a flat head, a raised head, a massage head or a brush head having multifunctional bristles. Preferably, the brush head is hermetically sealed to the handle. This can be achieved by means of a bellows, preferably an elastic bellows, and keeping the motor impervious to water during use. Preferably, the 'hermetic seal is a septum attached to the handle and the head. Preferably, the brush of the present invention comprises a power source. This power source can be a battery, and more preferably a rechargeable battery. Alternatively, the brush of the present invention will include a trunk connector that is coupled to the mains to power the motor. Preferably, the motor vibrates at 10 to 200 Hz, preferably 20 to 1 Hz. This provides the best decoupling frequency during use. [Embodiment] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the following non-limiting drawings. In particular, Figure 1 shows a hairbrush comprising a handle 1 and a brush head 2. The brush head has bristles 3 attached thereto for wiping hair. The handle is connected to the head by means of a bellows 6 at the end of the handle and at the end of the handle. The handle houses the power source 5 and the motor 4 for realizing the linear vibration of the brush head 2. Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the hairbrush of Figure 1 but with the handle in a central vertical plane. Shown is a battery power supply 5, a drive control for controlling the motor output, and a motor 4. The motor is fixed by the clamp 12 such that it cannot move relative to its mount. Handle 136017.doc 200939993 The body 13 is made of a rigid material so that as much vibrational energy as possible is transmitted to the brush head 2. The grip portion 9 is coupled to the rest of the brush by means of the elastic bellows 6 at either end of the grip portion 9. When the motor vibrates, its outer casing and thus the brush/handle underdamper 6 are protected from vibration. The brush is activated by the switch 丨〇. Figure 3 shows an alternative design in which the grip portion 9 is stronger and partially surrounds the outer casing of the motor 4 in the handle. The vibration of the motor 4 causes vibration in the brush head 2. grip
