Description
Patented Mar. 18, 1952 UNITED sTATEs PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim. 1
My invention relates to the art of hair dressing and has for its particular objects the provision of a contrivance or devi-ce for that purpose which is remarkably efficient, attractive in appearance, sturdy and cheap to manufacture. Other objects of the invention will hereinafter appear.
Heretofore it has been proposed, as set forth in Patents Nos. 1,347,260 and 323,889, to provide a comb both with a series of line, relatively short teeth and also an adjacent series of coarse relatively long teeth but su-ch comb constructions do not possess the advantageous hair-combing and hair smoothing characteristics, hereinafter set forth, that are possessed by my aforesaid hairdressing device.
My invention is fully set forth in the following detailed description and drawings forming a part thereof, in which latter:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal elevation of my improved haii` dressing contrivance.
Figure 2 is a vertical, transverse section taken on the line 2 2 of Figure 1; and
Figure 3 is a vertical, transverse section taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawings and the construction therein shown, the reference numeral l designates such contrivance, as such, the same having a frame composed of a main longitudinal 2 and opposing off-set, tooth- like end members 3 and 3 integrally united thereto and lying in the same plane therewith between which end members are interposed two series of hair-dressing teeth 4 and 5, respectively, the teeth 4 being relatively coarse and the teeth 5 being relatively iine, and all of the teeth of both series thereof lying in a plane that includes the longitudinal axis of said main longitudinal and also the longitudinal axes of the said end members. Integral Webs 6 are formed intermediate the successive teeth 4 of the series of coarse teeth and also between the end member 3 and the nearest adjacent tooth of such series. Likewise the successive fine teeth 5 of the other series are respectively interconnected with each other and with the last tooth of the first series and the end member 3 by integral webs 1. Said webs 5 and'l extend at least about two-thirds of the length of the adjacent teeth and have surface grooves a and b formed thereon which are of arcuate cross-section and extend throughout the length of said webs. These serve as guides for facilitating the alining and smoothing of the hairs during the stroking thereof with 'said contrivance Said webs are truncated at their lower ends, as designated by the reference letters c and d, to form blunt, rectangular surfaces which serve as hair-smoothing elements during the stroking thereof when dressing the hair.
Preferably the aforesaid contrivance is molded or cast in one piece from hard rubber or other plastic such as Bakelite, a phenol resin condensation product or other suitable plastic or even metal.
If desired the webs 6 interconnecting the coarse teeth 4 can be dispensed with entirely, in which event such teeth will be completely separated from each other throughout their length. Also in lieu of forming the back of the frame rectilineal,
vthe same may, if desired, be arcuate in configuration, for example it may constitute an arc of a radius of say 6 or '7 inches.
The aforesaid grooved webs especially the webs, l, that are formed between the ne teeth of my device, serve not only as hair guides but also function to shorten the effective length of the teeth and thereby admit of the blunt ends d thereof functioning as pressing surfaces and exerting a smoothing effect on the hair being stroked thereby, while at the same time, due to their abbreviated length, these iine teeth will not function, as do long tooth combs, as a condenser for static electricity and periodically discharge the same into the scalp of the user whose hair is being dressed.
Desirably, both the coarseand the line teeth of my device project but about 1/4 to beyond the bottom of the webs.
Desirable dimensions for the coarse teeth series are elf for the width and a space between successive teeth of about 11s". For the fine teeth series a tooth width and spacing of half that of the coarse teeth series is found to be quite satisfactory. Y
The term hair-dressing as used throughout the specification refers to both the aligning and smoothing or pressing of the individual hairs in a single stroking operation.
The said webs in addition to functioning in the manner above set forth materially increase the Weight of the implement thereby enhancing its value for hair-smoothing purposes.
Various modifications of the foregoing construction of my improved contrivance, Within the scope of the appended claim, may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as embraced therein.
Having thus described the invention, what I Iclaim is:
A comb, comprising a frame that includes a longitudinal and opposing off-set, tooth- 3 like end members integrally united thereto and REFERENCES CITED lying in the same plane therewith, a series of hairdressing teeth au lying in a, piane that includes The followmg references are of record in the the longitudinal axis of said main longitudinal fue 0f m15 Patent: and also the longitudinal axes of the end mem- 5 bers; and Webs intermediate and integral with UNITED STATES PATENTS adjacent teeth and having blunt lower ends said Number Name Date Webs having on both sides thereof hair-alining 681,695 Gren Sept .3' 1901 and hair-smoothing grooves of arcuate cross- 1843,437 Angermayr Feb. 2, 1932 section extending the entire length thereof and 10 said webs extending at least about two-thirds of the length of the adjacent teeth.
