TNO. 857,472.
Specicaton of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 1,1906. Serial No. 328,747.
.T0 @ZZ whom t may concern.-
Be it known that I, RICHARD FRANKLIN LAWSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Effingham, in the county of 5 Effingham and State of Illinois, have made certain new and useful Improvements in Currycombs,oi1 which the followingis a specification. My invention is an improvement in curry combs and consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts as will be hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawing-Figure l is a perspective view partly broken away in section, of a curry comb embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail cross section showing the application of the teeth to the main plate. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of one of the teeth ready for application to the plate. Fig. 4 is a detail side view of the blank or plate from which the tooth is formed. Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view of the curry comb. Fig. 6 is a detail view illustrating a somewhat different construction fromthat shown Ain the other gures, and Fig. 7 is a detail section on about line 7 7 of Fig. 6.
By my invention I provide a curry comb having a series of teeth composed of tooth plates projecting from the main plate andA rounded on their outer edges. These tooth plates are arranged in-rows and are staggered or alternated, the width of the teeth at the juncture with the plates being slightly greater than the spaces between the adjacent teeth of the same row so that when the teeth are arranged as shown they will overlap the spaces between the adjacent teeth of the next rows. This may be effected by cutting the teeth 1 from a back plate 2 as in Fig. 6 of the drawing, the teeth after being cut being bent to a right angle With the main' plate as shown, or it may 'be accomplished by the construction shown in Figs. l and 5, in which the teeth are made separate from the main plate and secured thereto in the manner which I will now describe.
As shown, the main plate A is provided with slots A arranged in rows with the slots of each row alternating with those of the adjacent row and by preference the slots are usually slightly greater in length than the spaces between the adjacent alined slots and in practice I nd it desirable to make the slots fifteen-sixteenths of an inch long and to 5 5 space them a half-inch apart.
The teeth B are cut from a plate of metal and flare or widen at their upper ends atB and are slitted transversely at B2 from the base edges, the sections or flanges B3 so formed being bent in opposite directions into parallel planes at a right angle tothe plane of the tooth plate. The tooth plates are then forced through the slots A of the main plate, the ilanges B3 forming a head bearing against the upper face of the said plate A and stopping the teeth as will be understood from the drawing. The cover plate C is fitted over the inain plate and flangedat its edges O and forms a cover and stop for the heads B3 of the tooth plates, also fastening the handle D, which maybe of webbing, leather or metal.
The Well rounded teeth arranged in alternate rows enable the operator to cover every part of the animals hide Wit-hout pain or injury to the tender skin in such manner as to ythoroughly cleanse the animal of all dirt,
dust, dandruff, dead hair, etc., With great facility. The comb in operation should be moved sidewise over the body and limbs of the animal being curried and when drawn lengthwise through the mane and tail will most effectively comb the long hair.
The peculiar shape of the teeth and their arrangement upon the body -or main plate serve to massage the skin of theyanimal and will be highly beneficial for promoting a healthier circulation of the blood.
I claim- 1. A curry comb comprising a main or body plate provided With slots arranged in parallel rows, the slots of each row being spaced apart and alternating with the slots of the adjacent rows and the said slots being of a length in excess of the spaces between the alined slots, tooth plates having Well rounded edges and slitted transversely in their upper edges and having the sections or flanges so formed bent in opposite directions at right angles to the tooth plates and forming heads to abut the main plate, the teeth being inserted through the main plate with the said head flanges abutting the upper side thereof and a cover plate fitting upon the main plate and flanged at its edges over the edges of the main plate, substantially as set forth.
2. A curry comb comprising ya lmain or body plate having slots for the passage of tooth plates, tooth plates passed. through IIO ' said slots and having Well rounded edges and headed to abut the upper side of the lnain plate, and a cover. overlying the heads of the teeth and securing the same in place, 'substantially as set forth.
3. A curry comb oomprisin a main or body plate having slotsand individual teeth in the form of independent plates projeetin through said slots in the niain plate, an means above the rnain plate securing the said individual teeth and plates, substan-v tially as set forth.
4. A curry comb comprising a main or body plate having slots, tooth plates projecting through said slots from above and having heads upon said niain plate and means securing the same in place, substantially as set forth.
5. A curry comb having a main or body plate slotted for the passage of tooth plates, and tooth plates having Well rounded edges and extensions at their back edges and having said edges separated and bent forming l vided at their upper ed head flanges, the toothl plates being passed through the slots of the main plate with the head flanges abutting the upper side thereof and retaining means overlying the head flanges, substantially as set forth.
6. A curry comb comprising a main plate provided With slots arranged in series and tooth plates projecting through said slots and having Well rounded edges, and proes With iian es bearing upon the main p ate, the said tooth plates being arranged in .rows with the teeth of one rowT alternating With the spaces between those of the adjacent row and the Width of said teeth at their juncture with the niain plate being in excess of the space hetween the alined teeth, substantially as set Orth.
