Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed Becemberll, 1906. Serial No. 347.378.

To all zul/1,0m, t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM EHRLICH, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of Springfield, inthe county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combs, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in a comb of a kind constituted by a plurality of comb-back sections having the teeth thereof vspaced wider than the normal spacing of a The object of the present invention is toproduce a comb made of se arable sections in such a way that a material y greater distance between the spaces of the individual combteeth of a given section than heretofore now becomes'possible. Y

In accordance with the present invention the comb is composed of three separatelyformed sections each having teeth which at their junction with the respective back-section are considerably wider than such section, the teeth of each section being separated by spaces substantially wider than the thicknesses of two of the teeth and relatively located and arranged to constitute a comb having regularly-spaced and suitably close teeth and means for detachably uniting the three comb-back sections.

The improved comb is clearly described in conjunction with .the accompanying drawings and defined in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is a face View of the comb with sectional portions thereof broken away for clearer illustration. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are cross-sectional views, respectively, on the lines 2 2, 3 3, and 4 4, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing portions of the three com b-sections in separated relations. .F 6 a cross-sectional and perspective View of a portion of the clip for uniting the sectionally- 3 formed back of the comb.

In the drawings, A represents an intermediate comb-back section, and B B two opposite 'side comb-back sections, all having teeth a and b b, which at their portions at their junctions with the respective back-sections with which they are integrally made have widths equal to the combined thicknesses of the three back-sections, and the teeth made wider than the back-sections, as aforesaid, have shoulder portions 10, the end walls of which project at right angles to the faces of the back-sections and so that when the parts are assembled they will lie .closely against vthe inner edges of the relatively adjacent back-sections.

Each back-section A and B B. have regularly-spaced teeth, the teeth of each Section being separated by spacesconsiderably wider than the thicknesses of two of the teeth, and they are relatively located and arranged in the assemblage of the parts to constitute a comb having suitably close regularly-spaced teeth, as shown at the left-hand portion of Fig. 1.

As represented at the right-hand portion of Fig. 1, the spacing for the teeth of a'given comb-back section is of a width about five times as great as the thickness of an individual tooth, thereby leaving room for occupancy of one tooth of both of the other backsections with a space between each of the intermediately-disposed teeth and-with spaces between both of these intermediately-located teeth and the teeth ofthe given back-section.

As perceived in the drawings, particularly Figs. 3 and 5, the regularly and widely spaced teeth of the intermediate section are widened oppositely from the faces of the intermediate section A, so as to overlap the inner edges of both the opposite outer/back-sections B B, while the teeth of each outer back-section B are edgewiseflush with the outer sides of theciently far to overlap the inner edges of both the intermediate and the relatively opposite side sections and to be flushwith the outer fa'ce of the latter.

In practice when the comb parts are assembled tlie shoulders 1() are' at the plane of the inner edges of thef back-sections to make IOO close joints; but in the .illustrations here given in order to distinguish the respective teeth of the 'several back-sections the lines indicating the shoulders 10 are slightly dis- 11o posite ends of the outer back-sections B B, each end stop being represented as a thicker and more bulky end tooth having an inner face at right angles to the length of the back- -section, and with an end stop of each backsection engages the corresponding end of the intermediate section and the opposite backsection.

The outer comb-back sections B B have longitudinal grooves inltheir upper and outer sides, as indicated at in which the inturned- 1. In al comb, a back composed of an intermediate section, and two opposite side sections, the intermediate section having regu- .larly-spaced teeth projecting oppositely from its inner edge and each side section having regularly-spaced teeth Wider than the side -opposite side section, the teeth of each section being separated by spaces considerably iWider than the-thickness of two teeth. and

relatively'located and arranged in the assemblage ofthe parts to constitute a comb having suitably close7 regularly-spaced, teeth, and means for detachably uniting the three comb-back sections.

2. A comb consisting ofa back composed of three separately-formed sections each having teeth which at their junction with their respective section are Wider than such section, the teeth of each section bein rated,l by spaces considerably wider t an the thicknesses of two teeth, and relatively located andlarr'anged to constitute a comb having regularly and suitably spaced teeth, and means for detachably uniting the three combback sections.
