United States Patent HAIR DRY-CLEANING COMB Victoria Grace Corel, San Leandro, Calif.
Application November 25, 1952, Serial No. 322,413
2 Claims. (Cl. 132--111) This invention relates to improvements in means for cleaning the hair, for removal of oil and dirt, and is very effective for such purposes as also for application of dyes, bleaches, oil, and other hair treating lotions. In addition, this comb is very effective for washing the ha1r as every strand and individual hair is acted upon, thus assuring perfect cleansing with resultant lustre and natural color.
This comb is used in combination with any suitable absorbent material, such as felted cotton, absorbent cellulose, or absorbent woven material, the absorbent material being merely slit between the teeth of the comb so that the teeth of the comb function mainly as supports for the absorbent material, with the absorbent material actually producing the results and being the effective part of the combination.
The objects and advantages of the invention are as follows:
First, to provide a comb-like structure for supporting a toothed blanket of absorbent material with the absorbent material functioning as a comb.
Second, to provide a comb-like structure as outlined in which the supporting element for the absorbent material is provided with teeth and a back, with the back and teeth longitudinally formed in two sections connected together at the ends of the teeth and divergent from the point of connection to the top of the back.
Third, to form said comb-like structure of a relatively resilient material whereby upon gripping and compressing the respective members at the back, the absorbent material will be secured against displacement during use.
Fourth, to provide the adjacent faces of the tooth portions with engaging elements to maintain the position of the teeth of the absorbent material during use and prevent slippage in any direction.
Fifth, to provide said comb-like structure with a clamp element to engage over the back portions for maintaining the clamping effect on the absorbent material under predetermined tension.
In describing the invention reference will be had to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the invention.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of Fig. 1, with the absorbent material removed.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation showing the absorbent material in place and the clamp member securing the back of the comb under tension.
'Fig. 4 is a section through the absorbent material showing the means for inserting in the comb-like structure.
The invention consists of a body consisting of two portions and 11 each of which includes a back 12 and a plurality of half-teeth 13 and terminating at the ends of 2,699,173 Patented Jan. 11, 1955 the teeth in common tooth points 14 with the opening between the portions terminating in spaced relation above the points as shown.
Engaging elements are formed on the adjacent faces 15 and 16 of the half teeth and may consist of merely a roughening of the surfaces, serrations, or as shown, grooves 17 in one face, and projections or ribs 18 on the other face, the half teeth having suificient resiliency to permit the divergent members 10 and 11 at the back 19 to be brought almost into contact as indicated in Fig. 3.
The absorbent blanket consists of a sheet of absorbent cotton 20 or other suitable absorbent material, and which is folded centrally of its width as indicated at 21, a knife or other suitable relatively thin flat instrument 22 placed in the fold and thereby pressed down into the space between the half members, to the bottom of the slot 23. The backs 19 of the two half-members are gripped, compressing the absorbent material between the teeth, and may be used in this manner, or the spring clamp 24 can be applied to relieve the user of the constant gripping during use.
After the absorbent material has been inserted between the two half-members, a pair of shears or a razor blade is used to form the slits 25 in the absorbent material and which extend substantially to the point of connection of the teeth to the back.
In use, for dry cleaning, the comb is passed through the hair, the hair passing into the slits 25 in a thin layer, and thereby being wiped throughout as the comb is drawn out from the head. In passing the comb through the hair several times, practically every individual hair is wiped, assuring clean lustrous hair. Obviously, if oil, hair 10- tion, a dye or a bleach is to be applied, it is applied to the absorbent material and used in the same way as for dry cleaning the hair, making a very eflicient applicator.
Icl-aim:
1. A dry cleaning comb for the hair comprising, a blanket of absorbent material, a comb-like structure including a back and a plurality of teeth and divided into two halves throughout the lengths of the back and downwardly into said teeth to a point adjacent the terminal ends of the teeth forming a slot between the halves for insertion of said blanket of absorbent material, and en gaging elements formed on the inside adjacent surfaces of the respective tooth halves for securing said blanket against displacement while in use and comprising longitudinal, substantially spaced grooves on the inside face of one of the halves, and longitudinal, substantially spaced ribs on the inside face of the other of the halves, said halves being formed of resilient material for compression of said halves toward each other to grip the said blanket.
2. A structure as defined in claim 1, said slot being divergently formed from said terminal ends to the top of the back, for ease of insertion of said blanket and said two halves being compressible toward each other to grip the blanket, and said blanket being slitted between the respective teeth from the lower edge thereof substantially to the root of the teeth.
