CHARLES H. BARTLETT, OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR TO THE SPRING CURRY COMB COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
CURRY-COMB.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 416,545, dated December 3, 1889. Application filed July 15, 1889. Serial No. 317,623. (No model.)
T at whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, CHARLES H. BARTLETT, of South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph for irregularities in the pressure exerted.
A further object is to render the comb in a degree self-cleaning while in use.
To these ends the invention consists of a sectional comb, each section of which is secured to the handle by an independent springsupport, the first-mentioned object being attained by reason of the fact that each section is thus allowed independent movement to yield on projections or fit closely into depressions, and the second object being accomplished by a special arrangement of the sections and their supports by which, when the comb is raised temporarily from the horse or the sections sprung apart, the spring-supports snap certain parts together or cause them to vibrate, and thus tend to free the sections of dirt by reason of the jar thus occasioned.
Another desirable" end attained by me through the arrangement herein shown is that the workman may at his option use a combsection whichwill yield to a slight pressure, or by properly holding the comb bring into action a more rigid section.
In the drawing, which is aperspective View of the comb, A is the handle; B O, the combing-sections, the two being representative of any number. These sections may be formed in any well-known or desirable manner and be of any shape other than that shown, this feature being immaterial to the accomplishment of the broad object. The preferred form is the band of metal, the lower edge being serrated to provide the teeth. v The scctionB is near the handle and the section C is more remote, being on the side of section B opposite the handle. The supports 1) b are secured to the side 1 of the band, and, passing through the other side 2, converge toward the handle. The supports 0 c for the other section 0 G likewise start from the far side 3 of the band, and, passing through the side 4,'tliey also converge toward the handle. These latter supports a o are bent upwardly at points 5 intermediate of the two sections, so that they pass above the section B, lying normally in notches 6 6 in the upper edge thereof, from which points they bend downwardly for attachment to the handle. The meeting ends of all the supports are twisted about each other, and the shank thus formed is fastened in the end'of the handle. By thus bending the second set of supports 0 c all the sections are normally positioned in the same plane. The notches 6 6 tend to hold the section 0 against lateral displacement when under strain. These supports are made of spring material, and as they are independent of each other atv their outer ends, not only is a springcomb provided,but one in which a more perfect action is secured, as each section moves independently, and the spring action of one does not aitect the others, and as each is on a separate support this may be made of lighter material,and thus secure sensitiveness of action. Besides this, when it is desired to curry lightly, the outer section 0 may be used along by properly holding the comb, this section being the most yielding, as it is carried upon the longer support 0, and, obviously, when a more rigid section is desired the inner one B is employed. \Vhen the sections of the comb are sprung apart, the spring-supports return them to normal position, and the meeting of the parts at this action occasions a jar or vibrations of sufficient force to cause the accum ulated dirt to be dislodged from the teeth. The formation of the sections in elongated or oblong shape by the bands enables a secure fastening to be made between said sections and the supports, forby this two points of support are provided each spring, asat 7, the 5 point of attachment, and at 8,where it passes through the second side of the band. At this latter point all the lateral or twisting strain is taken up, thus relieving the point of attachment 7 of just What would wrench the end of the support from the band. This point 7 is thus subjected to only pulling strain.
The upper edge of the sections may be left smooth or rough for scraping purposes.
\Vhat I claim is- 1. In combination, the handle, a combing- 5 section connected with said handle bya springsupport, and a second section and springsupport connected to the handle independent of the first section and support, substantially as described.
10 '2. In combination, the handle, a combingsection connected with said handle bya springsupport, and a second section and support independent of the first section and support, said second support being of greater length 15 than the first, substantially as described,
3; In combination, the handle, the independently-movable section 0, connected to the handle and spring-support c, and the section B and support I), the said support 0, also connected to the handle, engaging the section B, substantially as described.
4. In combination, the handle, the section
