Definitions

  • This invention relates to a hair-comb cleaner and, more particularly it is concerned with a device of the type designed for removing the dirt, hairs and greasy matters from a hair-comb toothed portion and, particularly from the narrow gaps or intervals comprised between the teeth thereof, by causing the said hair-comb to pass and preferably to be lengthwise reciprocated between two rotatably supported and parallel small cylindrical brushes.
  • a plurality of devices of the type referred to above have been heretofore proposed and currently produced.
  • a such device generally consists of a substantially rectangular frame structure, confining a space wherein two small.
  • cylindrical brushes are rotatably supported about parallel axes at an interval smaller than the diameters of said brushes, so that the tips of the bristles thereof are caused to relatively intersect when such brushes are caused to rotate.
  • the hair-comb may be cleaned by the action of said bristle tips when the comb is forced through said brushes.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a new and useful hair-comb rotary cleaner as above, wherein the brushes supporting frame structure thereof is provided with a passage in the plane of reciprocation of the hair-comb between the rotary brushes thereof, so that the device of the invention may be made use of for tent ice 2,919,454 Patented Jan. 5, 1960 cleaning of hair-combs of size larger than the size of said space.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a new and advantageous hair-comb cleaner as above, wherein the frame structure thereof is adapted for varying at will the interval between the brushes axis, for proper adaptation of the device to differing modes of operation, and further for overcoming the progressive wearing down of the bristles.
  • Figure 2 is a vertical sectional View of same, taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and further illustrating an end portion of said current hair-comb, but inversely positioned in respect to the position shown in Fig. 1;
  • Figures 3 and 4 are horizontal sectional views of same devices, taken on lines and shown in directions indicated by arrows 3-3 and respectively 4--4 in Fig. 1;
  • Figure 5 is a horizontal sectional view corresponding to Fig. 4, but illustrating the device of the invention as set to operate with a reduced interval or spacing between the axis of the rotary brushes thereof.
  • a pair of parallel and spaced arm portions 12 are made integral with said handle portion 14 co-planar to and at the corners of the larger upper edge 16 thereof, and the said arm portions 12 are made integral with co-planar, symmetrical in-turned end portions 13, arranged to define a space or opening 15 therebetween (Fig. 1) and having hub forming ends 14. Therefore,
  • the described structural member of the device defines a space, confined by the said upper edge 16 of portion 10, the said arms 12 and the in-turned end portions 13, having an opening at 15 in the plane of symmetry of the device.
  • a pair of conventionally constructed cylindrical brushes 17 are rotatably and symmetrically supported in said space, and the axis 18 thereof may be for example embodied in conventionally constructed structures consisting of tightly twisted wires clamping the brush bristles therebetween.
  • the end portions of said axis forming structures are rotatably arranged into bores provided in said hub end portions 14 and in said upper edge 16.
  • the said rotary brushes 17 are diametrally dimensioned and rotatable about axis 18 located at such interval or spacing S (Fig. 3) that the cylinders defined by the bristle tips thereof (the traces of said cylinders are shown by dashed circles at 19 in Fig.
  • An up-facing hollow 23 is provided in the said upper edge 16 of handle forming portion 10, in the plane of symmetry of the device, i.e. oppositely located in respect to said passage at 15 and the said space including the rotary brushes 17.
  • the depth of said hollow 23 is chosen to nearly correspond to the height of the rib portion 22 of a conventionally constructed middle sized hair-comb, as the one fragmontarily illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, provided with a toothed portion
  • the said hair-comb When a medium sized currently produced hair-comb having a toothed portion 21 including teeth of length not larger than the axial dimension of the bristled portions of brushes 17 is to be cleaned, the said hair-comb is preferably introduced between the said brushes in the up-turned position illustrated in Fig. 2.
  • the outer edge of the rib portion 22 of the comb is caused to slide in the said hollow 23 while the hair-comb is lengthwise reciprocated between the brushes, in the plane of symmetry of the device.
  • the said rib portion 22 of the comb passes free from the bristles of the brushes, without causing an undesirable excessive bending thereof, while said bristles correctly and usefully operate on the toothed portion 21 of the comb.
  • the said hair-comb is readily supported and guided in the said hollow 23, for easy performance of the cleaning in the most correct relative position of the comb across the device of the invention.
  • said comb may be passed across the device in the down-turned position shown in Fig. 1, wherein the end portions of the comb teeth may be passed between the bristled portions of brushes 17, while the remaining portions of the comb, near to its rib 22, may freely pass through said space 15.
  • the device By properly choosing the material of which the said structure member may be produced, say commercially available poly-ethylene or like resinous materials, and by properly sizing the said member at its part 11, the device may be made readily capable of resisting a very severe bending, greatly more than the bend illustrated in Fig. 5, say of or more.
  • a hair comb cleaner comprising, in combination, an elongated support member hingedly foldable along a line longitudinal thereof; a pair of cylindrical brushes rotatably mounted on said support member on respective sides of said line, said brushes having axes substantially parallel to said line and respective bristle means radially arranged on said brushes for mutual interengagement when said support member is folded; and guiding support means on said support member for slidably supporting a comb to be cleaned, said support means being arranged on said line and defining a guide channel extending in a plane substantially symmetrical and tangential relative to said cylindrical brushes.
