2 Claims.
My invention relates to hair brushes intended for use by Women and children, and particularly those who have thick heavy hair. The object of the invention is to provide a brush which will also serve the purposes of a comb wholly or in part.
Heretofore it has been customary to trim the ends of the bristles of hair brushes so that as a whole the bristle face has a flat or somewhat convex surface; also to form tufts or ridges crosswise of the bristle face. Where the hair is heavy, such brushes are not alone effective for the proper treaiment of hair. Brushing the hair should not only remove snarls and straighten the hair, but should also separate each individual hair from the neighboring hairs, laying them parallel to each other and should polish and clean the surfaces of the individual hairs and thus restore the natural luster: I have found that the effectiveness of the brush can be very greatly increased if the tufts of bristles are arranged in rows transversely of the brush and groups of rows are separated by spaces which permit the hair to enter them so that thereafter the hair is-rubbed throughout its length against the sides of the bristles as the brush -is pulled along the hair. Such a brush not only` removes snarls and straightens and lays the hairs parallel with each o.her, but'also rapidly cleans and polishes the surface of the hairs and is more effective for this purpose than a brush and comb if used separately. It results in a substantial saving of time to the user and an improved condition of the hair.
In the drawing:
Fig. l is a plan view.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a brush embodying my invention.
Fig. 3 is a view illustrating the action of the brush.
Referring to the drawing the brush back is shown at A. It may be of any suitable material, for instance, wood, pyroxylin or the like. In the face of the brush back are set tufts of bristles B, which are arranged in rows, the rows being grouped to leave a space C between each group of rows of bristles. These spaces C are crosswise of the brush back so that as the brush is held by the user, the hair will naturally lie lengthwise of the spaces and tend to enter them. Each group D of rows of tufts of bristles is as a whole preferably trimmed to a point as seen in Fig. 2. This trimming tends to guide the hair into the spaces between the groups of rows of tufts and to increase the effectiveness of the brush. The holes in the brush back A may be formed at varying angles as shown in Fig. 2 so that the grouping and spacing will be most effective to separate the mass of hair into strands and to guide it into and along the spaces.
6 In using the brush embodying my invention,
the points of the rows begin the separation of the h air into strands after which the strands are dragged into the spaces between the groups of rows. Thereafter as the brush is pulled along, the hairs are drawn across the several bristles which lie on the sides of the spaces and the rubbing of the bristles on the hairs tends to polish and clean the surface and to give the hair a glossy appearance whichI addsy greatly to its 7 pointed ridges initially separating the hair into 8 strands and then guiding the strands into the spaces between the groups of rows to contact with the sides of the bristles.
2. A hair brush having tufts of bristles arranged in multiple groups of rows cross-wise of the brush back, each group of rows being uniformly spaced from its adjacent group, the confronting bristles in adjacent rows of adjacent groups converging toward each other at their outer ends to provide substantially tapered spaces between each group of rows, the tufts of bristles comprising each group of rows trimmed to form pointed ridges cross-wise of the brush back, said pointed ridges initially separating the hair into strands and then guiding the strands into the spaces between the groups of rows to contact with the sides of the bristles.
