HAm soAvENGING DEVICE Mearon E. Pollock, Beverly Hills, Calif. Application August 8, 1939, serial No. 288,963
6 Claims.
My invention has for its primary object the provision of a new and efficient hair scavenging device which is constructed and arranged so that when applied to the hair similarly to a comb, brush or the like, it will readily pick up and retain for removal such loose particles or small ends of hair as are created during a hair cut and usually prove difi'icult of removal from the hair and scalp.
Another object of my invention is to provide a comb-like device having teeth of special construction whereby to retain thereon and therebetween, tufts of cotton or like material which will cause the fine particles of hair to adhere thereto when the teeth and said tufts are moved through the hair and against the scalp similarly to a comb or brush.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a one form of hair scavenging device embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the device shown in Fig. 1 with the cotton removed.
Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of a brush-like device embodying my invention, the cotton being omitted.
Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the device shown in Fig. 4.
In carrying out one form of my invention as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the accompanying drawing, I provide a vcomb-like device consisting of a body or back 6 and teeth l which latter are spaced apart similarly to the teeth of a comb and constructed so as to retain thereon and therebetween tufts of cotton or similar material as indicated by the numeral 8. The cotton tufts take the form of a row located near the ends of the teeth and will cause short and loose particles of hair to adhere thereto as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2, when the teeth are moved into and through the hair similarly to a comb.
As here shown each tooth is substantially square in cross section and tapers sharply from a relatively wide portion 'la near its lower end to a thin, pointed angularly extended and somewhat hook-like free end 1b. The relatively wide portions la act as shoulders to prevent the cotton tufts from being accidentally pushed inwardly on the teeth to an extent that would interfere with the picking up of hair particles close to the scalp, it being desirable to maintain the row of cotton tufts near the ends 1b. The hook or angularly bent ends 1b prevent accdental pulling of the cotton ofi the teeth and also cause (Cl.132-9) i I of;
a'row of cotton tufts be formed when the device is'drawn several times through orV againsta batch of cotton. I find that ordinary absorbent cotton is well sulted to the purpose of my invention and that the tufts 8 may be formed on the teeth in 5 a row as shown in Fig. l by merely drawing the comb through or against a batch of such cottonV as aforesaid, or by otherwise affixing the cotton on the teeth as desired. As here provided the teeth ends 1b' are bent to lie in the plane of the at sides of the device and all extend in the'same direction, but could be otherwise formed and extended as desired, since the main purpose is to provide teeth which will facilitate the picking up and retention of tufts of cotton with said tufts in such position that the small hair particles will adhere to the cotton and may therefore be readily removed from the hair and scalp when the teeth and cotton thereon are moved through the hair and against the scalp or otherwise inserted into the hair.
Another form of my invention as shown in Figs. 4 and 5 may be made similarly to a brush in that it includes a back IO, handle I and a plurality of comb-like devices |2 each similar to the device shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. As here provided the back IO is formed with grooves |3 in which are inserted the backs |4 of the comb-like devices |2. These devices may be frictionally or otherwise held in place. This arrangement provides a plurality of parallel rows of bristles or teeth 15 having hook or angularly extended ends IG and otherwise constructed and arranged as are the teeth in the first described form of the invention. In Figs.A 4 and 5 the cotton has been omitted for clarity of illustration but it is obvious that the teeth 15 will retain rows of cotton in the same manner as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and that the cotton will pick up and retain loose hairs as herein before described while 'brushing the hair. In both forms of the invention the cotton with the small hairs thereon is removed after each scavenging operation. Fresh cotton may then be readily applied as desired.
It should be noted that the cotton will be effectively retained by having the free ends 1b of the teeth bent or extended into the entrances of or into the spaces between the teeth.
I claim:
1. A hair scavenging device including a body, teeth on said body, and means on each tooth for retaining adjacent the free end thereof particles of cotton or other material which will cause small particles of loose hair to adhere thereto when the teeth are inserted into or moved in the hair similarly to a comb or brush.
2. A hair scavenging device including a body, teeth on said body, and means associated With teeth of said body for retaining adjacent the free w ends of the teeth, particles of cotton or other material to which small particles of loose hair will adhere When the device is used similariy to a hair comb or hair brush.
3. A hair scavenging device comprising a body, and a row of teeth on said body With each tooth provided with an angularly extended free end adapted to retain thereon particles of cotton or material to which loose particles of hair will adhere when the device is used as a hair comb or hair brush.
4. A hair scavenging device comprising a body, and a row of teeth on said body Withgeach tooth provided with an angularly extended free end adapted to retain thereon particles of cotton or material to which loose particies of hair will adhere when the device is used as a hair comb or hair brush, each tooth being relatively Wide between its ends and tapering to a point at its free end whereby the Wder portions act as Shoulders to prevent inward displacement of the cotton.
5. A hair scavenging device comprising a body similar to the back of a brush having a plurality of longitudinal grooves therein, and a plurality of comb-like devices mounted in said grooves and each including a plurality of teeth each of which is provided with an angularly bent free end, and particles of cotton or the like mounted on each tooth and retained thereon by the angularly bent free end thereof.
6. A hair scavenging device comprising a body having a series of teeth extending a common plane from said body and bent at their ends in a common direction for the purpose of holding fibrous material whereby when the teeth are moved through the hair, loose cuttings of hair will be picked up and removed.
