Abstract
Description
- This application claims 35 USC 119 priority from U.S. Ser. No. 62/486,256 filed Apr. 17, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
- The present invention relates to hair combs, and more particularly to such combs constructed and arranged for use by barbers, hair stylists and other hair care professionals.
- Conventional styling combs used by hair care professionals have been adapted over the years to perform more and more styling-related functions. For example, the comb teeth have been provided with barbs or other projections for enhanced grasping and holding of hair strands for cutting. The comb handle has been modified to enhance gripping by the stylist, and to improve ergonomic properties of the comb to reduce stylist fatigue in the hand muscles. An edge of the comb near bases of the teeth has been used as a guide for powered clippers or trimmers. In addition, the comb itself has been configured to better grasp and coil or otherwise position locks of hair for easier cutting or otherwise manipulating by the stylist.
- It has been found that conventional styling combs of this type have been deficient in sufficiently achieving the needs of hair stylists in being effective in grasping and manipulating hair, being ergonomically effective in reducing stylist hand fatigue, and in serving as a guide for powered hair clippers and trimmers. Thus, there is a need for an improved styling comb.
- The above-listed need is addressed by the present comb, which features multiple barbs on each comb tooth for more aggressively grasping hair strands. Each tooth is provided with a first barb near a tooth base facing in a first direction, and a second barb spaced linearly from the first barb and facing in an opposite direction. It is preferred that the two sets of barbs are oriented approximately 180° degrees from each other. Also, the barbs are located in a plane defined by the comb teeth. In addition, the present comb is provided with a recessed guide slot spaced between bases of the comb teeth and a top edge of the comb. The slot is located parallel to a longitudinal axis of the comb, and is located between the teeth and the curved, beveled top edge portion of the comb which is configured for improved grasping of hair strands as the comb is rotated by the stylist about the longitudinal axis.
- Improved gripping by the stylist is achieved by a radially enlarged gripping collar extending from left and right side surfaces of the comb and located at a relatively narrow “neck” of the comb between the teeth and the handle. Also, the handle is provided with finger grip recesses along one edge, and a lobed handle end.
- More specifically, the present comb includes a generally flat, planar body having a left side surface, a right side surface, a top edge, a handle end, and an opposite front end. A plurality of teeth is provided on the body, each tooth having a root secured to the comb body near the top edge and having an opposite free end, a first barb projecting in a first direction towards the handle end and being located approximately half a distance between the root and the free end, and a second barb projecting in a second direction opposite the first direction, and being located approximately half a distance between the first barb and the root.
- In another embodiment, a comb is provided, including a generally flat, planar body having a left side surface, a right side surface, a top edge, a handle end, and an opposite front end. A plurality of teeth is provided, each tooth has a root secured to the comb body near the top edge and having an opposite free end, a first barb projecting in a first direction towards the handle end, and a second barb projecting in a second direction opposite the first direction. The top edge is arched and has a beveled surface formed by the left and right side surfaces to form a relatively narrow edge portion.
- It is preferred that the first and second barbs, which are preferably generally triangular in shape, project approximately 180° from each other, and within a plane defined by the comb teeth. The present comb includes a guide slot projecting along each of the left and right side surfaces, extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the comb body, and located between the roots and the top edge. A handle of the body has at least one finger grip on a lower edge, and one of the grips is formed by a narrow neck. Gripping formations extend radially from the left and right side surfaces at the neck for enhancing gripping by the stylist. A handle end of the comb forms an asymmetric lobe.

FIG. 2 is a left side view of same; -
FIG. 3 is a right side view of the comb ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a front view of same; -
FIG. 5 is a rear view of the comb ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 6 is a top view of same; and -
FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the comb ofFIG. 1 . - Referring now to
FIGS. 1-7 , the present comb is generally designated 10, and includes a generally flat,planar comb body 12, which is preferably integrally formed of molded plastic or similar self-supporting, durable material. Thebody 12 has aleft side surface 14, aright side surface 16, atop edge 18, ahandle end 20, and anopposite front end 22. Also included on thebody 12 is a plurality ofteeth 24, each tooth preferably being identical, having aroot 26 secured to the comb body near thetop edge 18, and having an opposite free end ortip 28. Afirst barb 30 is generally triangular in shape when viewed from the left and right sides, and projects or points in a first direction towards thehandle end 20. While other locations are contemplated, it is preferred that thefirst barb 30 on eachtooth 24 is located approximately half a distance “D” between theroot 26 and the tip (FIG. 1 ). Also,FIGS. 1-3 illustrate that an optional additionalfirst barb 30 a is preferably located on thebody 12 near afirst tooth 24 a. - A
second barb 32 projects in a second direction opposite the first direction and towards thefront end 22. While other locations are contemplated, as is the case with thefirst barb 30, thesecond barb 32 is preferably located approximately half a distance “d” between the first barb and the root (FIG. 1 ). It is further preferred that the first andsecond barbs FIG. 7 ). - Also found on the
comb body 12 is arecessed guide slot 34 projecting along each of the left andright side surfaces FIG. 2 ). In the preferred embodiment, theguide slot 34 is located between theroots 26 ofteeth 24 and thetop edge 18. More specifically, it is especially preferred that theguide slot 34 is located closer to theroots 26 than to anapex 36 of the arched or curvedtop edge 18. - Referring now to
FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 , another feature of thearched top edge 18 is that abeveled surface 38 formed on each of the left andright side surfaces tapered edge portion 40 relative to thebody 12. Aline 41 defines a lower extent of thetapered edge portion 40, which is generally “D”-shaped. Thebeveled surfaces 38 on each of thesides FIGS. 4 and 5 . It has been found that the arched shape of thetop edge 18 is more comfortable to the subject receiving styling, since thecomb 10 is optionally placed against the subject's head. By providing the arched profile, with thebeveled edge portion 40, user comfort is increased through use of thepresent comb 10. - Referring now to
FIGS. 1-3 and 6-7 , ahandle 42 is integrally formed on thebody 12 between theteeth 24 and thehandle end 20, and meets the body at a narrowedneck 44. As is seen inFIGS. 1-3 , theneck 44 is adjacent theteeth 24. At least one and preferably a plurality ofarcuate finger recesses 46 are formed on alower handle edge 48. Onesuch recess 46 a is formed by theneck 44 at thelower edge 48. In addition, anotherrecess 46 b is located on a handletop edge 50, which is continuous with thetop edge 18. Also, the archedtop edge 18 extends from theneck 44 to thefront end 22. - As seen in
FIGS. 1, 6 and 7 , theneck 44 is provided with raised, radiusedgripping formations 52 on each of the left andright side surfaces formations 52 are arched relative to a plane of therespective side surface parallel flutes 54, however it is contemplated that the particular configuration and arrangement may vary to suit the application. When the user grips thecomb 10, theformations 52 facilitate gripping, as well as rotating the comb about the longitudinal axis “A” during the styling operation. - Referring now to
FIGS. 1-3 , at thehandle end 20, thecomb 10 has acurved lobe 56 that also enhances the ergonomic comfort of the comb in a user's hand. More specifically, thelobe 56 is asymmetrical relative to the longitudinal axis “A” of the body 12 (FIG. 2 ). - While a particular embodiment of the present comb has been disclosed herein, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made thereto without departing from the invention in its broader aspects and as set forth in the following claims.
