V CURRYCOMB.
Application filed November 29, 1911.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 13,1913.
Serial No. 662,969.
To all whom/2'1 may concern Be it known that I, HERMAN Duron'r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fair Haven, in the county of St. Clair andState of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Ourrycomlos, of which the following is a specification.
An object of the invention is to provide a currycomb in which the hair and other foreign particles that adhere to the comb when the same is used, can be easily and quickly removed therefrom.
My invention embodies among other features a currycomb, in which the various parts thereof are simple and durable in construction and arranged to present a neat-appearance, the currycomb being provided with a handle for enabling the operator to apply the comb, the said handle being operable in conjunction with a comb lever for actuating the combs to remove foreign particles therefrom.
For the purpose mentioned, use, is made of a series of casings rigidly mounted on' the casing frame, a series of comb plates operable in the said casings and secured to a comb frame, a handle secured to one of the comb plates, an operating lever pivotally -mounted on the said handle and means mounted on the said casing frame and connected with the said comb frame and said operating lever for operating the said comb plates in the said casings when the said operating lever is actuated.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings constituting a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference denote corresponding parts in all the views, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my device. Fig. 2 is a plan view, parts being broken away to disclose the underlying structure. Fig. 3 is avertical sectional view on the line 33 in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a bottom plan View. Fig. 5 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through one of the casings showing the manner of mounting the comb plates therein.
7 Referring more particularly to the views, I provide a series of casings 10, arranged in parallel relation and provided with integral cars 11, secured to angle plates 12 constituting a casing frame 13. Slidably mounted within the casings 10 are comb plates 14, provided with integral ears 15 secured to angle plates 16, constituting a comb frame 17, the lower edges of the comb plates 14 being provided with integral teeth 18, pins 19 being extended transversely through the casings 10 and secured thereto with slots 20 provided in each of the said comb plates and having the pins 19 slidably extended therethrough to properly guide the comb plates relatively to the casings as will be hereinafter more fully disclosed.
The angle plates 12 are provided with slots 21 through which the ends of operating rods 22, slidably extend, the said operating rods being passed through openings in the angle plates 16 and having their central portions bent in a U-shaped form, the extremities of the said operating rods being bent in the shape of cranks and arrangedso that when anupward pull is exerted on the offset U-shaped portions of the rods, the comb frame 17 will be actuated relatively to the casing plate 13, thus operating the comb plates 14 in the casings 10, plates 14 having ears 24 integral therewith and said ears are secured to a central plate 23 of the comb frame, and an upright 25 is secured to the rear end of the plate 23 and is suitably braced by rods 27, which are secured to the angle plates 16 of the comb frame 17. An operating lever 26 is pivotally mounted on the handle 28 by means of a pin 29 extending transversely through the handle 28 and the I operating lever 27, the said operating lever 28 being supported by the upright 25 and having the brace rods 27 preferably formed integral therewith, a spring 30 being coiled around the pin 29, with one end of the spring abutting against the inner'side of the handle 28 and the other end of the spring abutting against the inner side of the operating lever 26 to normally retain the free end of the operating lever 26 in its outer most position relatively to the free end of the handle 28.
A tongue 31 extends forwardly from the handle 28 and is provided with. recessed portions 32 in which the ofi'set'U-shaped portions 32 of the operating rods 22 are received. Thus the action of the spring 30 on the operating lever 26 will cause the tongue 31 to bear downwardly and retain the U- shaped portions of the operating rods 22 in their lowermost position, thus causing the teeth 18 of the comb plates 14 to extend outwardly from the lower ends of the casings 10, the comb plates 14 being at this time in their lowermost or normal position. Now
when the operator applies the currycomb described, in the usual manner, the teeth 18 will grip the loose particles of hair and remove all foreign matter from the hide of the animal which is being combed. A large amount of the foreign matter and hair, however, will cling to the teeth 18 and will not easily become disengaged therefrom. Thus when the teeth become clogged, the operator presses the operating lever 26 toward the handle 28 and against the action of the spring 30, thus raising the lower end of the tongue 31 and swinging the U-shaped portions of the operating rods 22, thus causing the ends of the crank portions of the operating rods to slide in the slots 21 of the angle plates 12, which movement will raise the angle plates 16 and, as the comb plates 14- are secured to the angle plates 16 and to the central plate 23, the downward pressing of the operating lever 26 will cause the teeth 18 of the comb plates 14 to move within the casings 10. Although the sides of the casings 10 fit closely to the sides of the comb plates 14, the said comb plates are slidable within the casings as mentioned heretofore and as the comb plates are actuated to slide in the casings so that the teeth 18 will be moved within the casings, the hair and foreign matter clinging to the teeth will be removed therefrom, inasmuch as the mentioned hair and foreign matter will engage the lower ends of the casings and the said casings acting as baffles, when the teeth 18 pass within the casing, will remove the hair and foreign matter from the teeth, thus cleaning the same so that when the operating lever 26 is released, the action of the spring 30 will cause the comb plates 14 to reassume their normal position with the teeth 18 of the comb plates extending out wardly from the lower ends of the casings, the said teet-hbeing now clean and in proper condition to do eflicient work.
The currycombs now generally used consist merely of a frame provided with a handle and comb plates rigidly secured to the frame. Thus when the teeth of the comb plates become clogged with foreign matter, it is necessary to strike the currycomb against a solid object to remove the foreign matter from the teeth. In time the action of striking the comb against an object, causes the same to become bent and disfigured to the extentthat the currycomb cannot be effectively operated and necessitating the provision of a new comb.
Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents,
In the use of my device it is not necessary to strike the comb against an object to clean the teeth thereof, it being simply necessary to actuate the operating lever, which operation moves the teeth of the comb plates within the casings, as has been heretofore described, thus effectively cleaning the teeth and removing all foreign matter therefrom. Thus, it will be readily seen that a self cleaning currycomb of the character described will not only outlast the currycombs now generally used, but will aid the operator in advancing rapidly in his work and will perform the desired Work more efficiently and accurately.
1. A curry comb comprising a casing frame, casings secured to the said casing frame, a comb frame, comb plates secured to said comb frame and operable in the said casings, operating rods having the ends thereof mounted to turn and slide in the said casing frame and having connection with the said comb frame, a handle carried by said comb frame, an operating lever pivotally mounted on said handle, a notched member extending forwardly from the said handle and provided with slots for the reception of portions of said operating rods whereby upon the operation of the said operating lever, the said rods will be actuated to-move the said comb plates relatively to the said casing.
2. A curry comb comprising a casing frame, a casing secured to the said casing frame, a comb frame, comb plates secured to said comb frame and operable in the said casing, operating rods provided with offset U-shaped portions and having the ends thereof mounted to turn and slide in the casing frame, a handle secured to said comb frame, an operating lever pivotally mounted on said handle, a slotted member extending forwardly from the said handle and provided with slots for the reception of the offset U-shaped portions of said operating rods for operatively connecting said operatng rods thereto and permitting said rods to be actuated by said lever whereby in turn the said rods will move the said comb plates relatively to said casing.
In testimony whereof I ahix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
