2 Shee'ts-Sheet 1 Filed NOV. 19, 1954 INVENTORY WALTER PFLUEGER BY HENRY AUGENSTEIN waa/mfg Sept. 1 l, 1956 W. PFLUEGER ETAL COMB 2 sheetsfshet 2 Filed Nov. 19, 1954 United States Patent COME Walter Pllueger and Henry Augenstein, Newark, N. J. Application November 19, 1954, Serial No. 469,880 6 Claims. (Cl. 132-135) This invention relates to combs.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a comb having stationary teeth suciently spaced apart to permit rotatable intermediate -teeth to be swung out of line with the stationary teeth to vary the distance between the teeth and the comb and to facilitate the combing of knotted portions of the hair.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a comb of the above type wherein the distance between the teeth may be varied permitting the comb to be first used for aligning the hair and thereafter to be combed.
Other objects of the present invention are to provide an adjustable comb bearing the above objects in mind which is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, has a minimum number of parts, is easy to use and eflicient in operation.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:
Fig. l is a front elevational bodiment of the invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical sectional view through one end of the comb.
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view thereof taken along the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
view of a preferred em- Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view thereof taken along the line 4-4 of Fig. 2, showing the movable teeth in moved position in dot-dash lines.
Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view the line 5 5 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 6 is an exploded fragmentary view of the invention shown partly in elevation and partly in section.
Fig. 7 is a top plan view thereof taken along the line 7-7 of Fig. 6.
Fig. 8 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevational view of the other end of the comb and showing the symmetrical construction.
Fig. 9 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but showing a modified form of the present invention.
Fig. 10 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but showing a still further modified form of the present invention.
Referring now more in detail to the drawing, 10, 10 represent a pair of elongated side members laterally spaced apart and integrally formed at their opposite ends with the end closure portions 11, the end closure portions 11 extending downwardly in the integrally formed end stationary teeth 12, substantially as illustrated. The side members and end closure portions form a hollow body portion.
As shown in Fig. 3 the lower longitudinal edges of the side portions 10 are connected by the integrally formed intermediate stationary teeth 13, the teeth 13 being spaced thereof taken along rice relatively far apart relative to each other and provided at their upper ends with the semicircular recesses 14.
The end portions 11 on their inner faces are provided with the recesses 15 adapted to be aligned with the cutouts 14'forming shoulder, the end portions 11 being also provided with the substantially cylindrical bores 16 extending downwardly from their upper ends thereof.
An elongated substantially cylindrical shaft 17 adapted to be rotatably supported Within the aligned cut-outs 14 is integrally formed along its lower surface with the intermediate movable teeth 18. Each pair of teeth 18' is adapted to lit between the stationary teeth 13 with the ends of movable teeth 18 extending downwardly slightly below the lower ends of the stationary teeth 13, 12.
Pins 19 are secured to opposite ends of the shaft 17 and are rotatably supported within the recesses 1S, the Vouter ends of the pins 19 being provided with the inwardly extending slots 20. Springs 21 are sleeved over the pins 19, one end of the springs- 21 being secured within the slots 20 whereby to prevent rotational displacement of the springs relative to the pins. The other ends of the springs 21 extend upwardly in a vertical direction a substantial amount above the top of the shaft 17. It will be noted that the upwardly extending portions of the springs 21 at opposite ends of the shaft 17 are disposed on opposite sides so as to abut the inner faces of the opposite side portions 10. Thus, when the movable teeth 18 are moved away from the stationary teeth 13 upon rotation of shaft 17, in either direction, one of the springs 21 will at all times vurge the teeth back into mesh (Fig. 5).
A removable back closure member 22 is provided and is adapted to fit downwardly onto the open upper end of the side portions 18.' A pair of pins 23 are lixedly carried and depend from the undersurface of the back meinber. 22 at the opposite ends thereof, the pins 23 being adapted to be press tted into the boresk 16 whereby to retain the back member 22 in abutment with the upper edges of the side portions 10. The undersurface 'ofthe back member 22 is provided with an elongated'hollow portion 24 within which is positioned a leaf spring 25 secured thereto by rivets 26 or the like, the free ends of the leaf spring 25 being curved and adapted to bear directly on the shaft 17 whereby to resiliently retain the same within the cutouts 14.
Thus, vertical displacement of the movable teeth 18 relative to the stationary teeth 13 is prevented by the-leaf spring 25 while angular displacement therebetween is prevented by the springs 21.
When the movable teeth 18 are in alignment with the stationary teeth 13, the spaces between the teeth will be relatively small and when the teeth 18 are rotated, as shown in phantom in Fig. 4, the spaces between the teeth will become relatively wide. Thus, the comb may be first used for aligning thehair intermediate the stationary, Widely spaced teeth 13 (the movable teeth 18 being displaced angularly against the action of the springs 21) and 'thereafter the hair may be combed upon the return of the intermediate teeth 18 to their initial position. It will be noted that the displacement of the movable' teeth 18 relative to the stationary teeth is automatic upon en'- countering tangled portions of the hair and that the return of these'teeth to their original aligned position is likewise automatic due to the action of the springs.
Uponremoval of the back member 22, the shaft 17 and associated teeth 18 may be readily removed upwardly through the side portions 10 to facilitate the cleaning of the teeth 13 and 18, as will be obvious.
Referring now more particularly to Fig. 9, there iS shown a modified form of the present invention wherein the pins 23a are integrally formed at their lower ends with the lateral enlarged portions 27 which are adapted to be snapped into the laterally enlarged portions 28 at the lower ends of the bores 16. Thus the enlargements 27 will snap into the enlarged hollow portions 28 to more firmly secure the back member 22 to the side portions 10. Referring now particularly to Fig. l0,.there..is shown a still further modified form of the present .invention wherein the shaft 17 is integrally formed with half as many movable teeth 18a so that only one such tooth is disposed intermediate each pair of stationary teeth 13;
In other respects the form of the invention shown in Figs. 9 and l0 is the same as that shown in Figs. l through 8, and like reference numerals identify like parts throughout the several views.
The side portions 10, teeth 12, 13, back. member 22, shaft 1,7 and teeth 18 will preferably be formed of plastic orother suitable material. The pins 23 may be integrally formed in the back member 22. The leaf spring 25 will preferably be made of plastic and may be formed integral with the back member 22.
While we have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of our invention, it is to be understood that we do not limit ourselves to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as dened in the appended claims.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
