Description
Dec. 6, 1933. N O N ZJEQJQ C OMB Filed Aug. 29, 1938 ATTORNEY Patented Dec. 6, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 5 Claims.
The subject matter of this invention is directed to combs of the type having an arcuate support carrying an arcuate row of teeth having upper terminals in part integrally merged with and in part spaced from the support and including lower pointed portions disposed appreciably below the lower part of the support. In practice it has been discovered that combs of the type referred to have a tendency to dislodge from the hair and consequently the object of the invention is to provide a comb of the character referred to wherein means is provided for positively clamping the hair interposed between the support and the upper parts of the teeth and more particularly wherein the support is provided with an irregular or beaded inner surface disposed in staggered relation in respect to the upper portions of the teeth and cooperating therewith to resiliently clamp the hair inserted between the teeth and the support. Other aspects, objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description considered in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the improved comb according to my invention.
Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2 and Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 but showing a slightly modified form.
The comb is generally denoted in and may be of any flexible and/or resilient material well known in the art. The comb has an anterior arcuate support H having a posterior face 12 provided with a plurality of vertically arranged and spaced ribs l3.
Integrally merged with support I l is an arcuate row of teeth Hi each provided with a pointed terminal I5. Specifically however, the upper curved terminals [6 of teeth M are integral with support I l and extend rearwardly thereof but are integrally merged with the intermediate portions ll of the teeth, the arrangement being such that the intermediate portions ll of the teeth 14 together with the vertical support H characterize a vertical but longitudinally disposed hair receiving gap l8 interrupted by the spaced ribs 13 disposed in staggered relation in respect to the intermediate portions ll of the teeth l4. If therefore the comb is inserted in a head of hair, a certain amount of the latter is received in gap l8 and is held in a clamping relation against teeth H by the ribs l3. Thus the hair is positively gripped to prevent accidental dislodgement of the comb. The same gripping effect may be also obtained in case where the posterior surface of the support I I of the comb has an undulating configuration, as for example, surface I!) illustrated in Fig. 5 which surface in fact may be part of the crests or beads 13 disposed in staggered relation to the companion and cooperating teeth 14, more particularly to the intermediate portions ll thereof. In other aspects the form according to Fig. 5 is along the lines of Fig. 4.
Without further analysis, the foregoing disclosure will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can by applying current knowledge readily adapt it to various applications without omitting certain features that from the standpoint of the prior art fairly constitute the essential characteristics of the generic and specific aspects of the invention and therefore such adaptations are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalency of the following claims:
I claim:
1. In a comb, an arcuate support, an arcuate row of teeth comprising upper portions extending rearwardly of said support and integral therewith, said teeth having intermediate portions spaced from said support and extending below the latter, said intermediate portions and said support defining a gap disposed longitudinally of said comb, said support comprising a posterior vertical surface having spaced means disposed in staggered relation in respect to said teeth and coloperating therewith for clamping hair within said gap and interposed between said intermediate portions and said support.
2. In a one piece comb, an arcuate support, an arcuate row of teeth comprising upper portions extending rearwardly of said support and integral therewith, said teeth having intermediate portions spaced from a posterior surface of said sup:- port and extending below the latter, said intermediate portions and said support defining a gap disposed longitudinally of said comb, said support having vertically disposed spaced means extending rearwardly of said surface and disposed in staggered relation in respect to said teeth and cooperating therewith for clamping hair within said gap and interposed between said intermediate portions and said support.
3. In a flexible and resilient comb, an arcuate support, an arcuate row of teeth comprising upper portions extending rearwardly of said support and integral therewith, said teeth having intermediate portions spaced from a posterior surface of said support and extending below the latter, said intermediate portions and said support defining a gap disposed longitudinally of said comb, said support having vertically arranged and horizontally spaced ribs extending rearwardly of said surface into said gap and disposed in staggered relation in respect to said teeth and cooperating therewith for clamping hair interposed between said intermediate portions and said support.
4. In a one piece flexible and resilient comb, an arcuate support having a posterior undulating surface, an arcuate row of teeth comprising upper portions extending rearwardly of said support and integral therewith, said teeth having intermediate portions spaced from said surface and extending downwardly below said support, said intermediate portions and said support defining a gap disposed longitudinally of said comb, said surface having spaced means disposed in staggered relation in respect to said teeth and cooperating with said intermediate portions for clamping hair within said gap.
5. In a flexible and resilient comb, an arcuate support, an arcuate row of teeth comprising upper portions extending rearwardly of said support and integral therewith, said teeth having depending intermediate portions spaced from a posterior surface of said support and extending below the latter, said intermediate portions and said support defining an arcuate gap disposed longitudinally of said comb, said support including an inner posterior surface having vertically arranged and horizontally spaced but rearwardly extending ribs projecting into said gap and cooperating with said teeth for clamping hair interposed between said intermediate portions and said support.
