COMB.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 18, 1910.
Application filed April 18, 1910. Serial No. 556,002.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMEs F. LYNCH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Swampscott, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combs; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My present invention relates to toilet combs and more particularly to a toilet comb adapted for the use of barbers in cutting and trimming the hair of the human head.
It is well known that barbers in order to place the hair in proper position to be clipped or trimmed off by shears lift the hair by means of a comb which is run through the hair against the grain as it is termed, that it is in a direction opposite to that in which the hair is trained, and thus lifting step by step, the ends of the hair are clipped and trimmed ofi. Much difiiculty is encountered in the use of the ordinary barber comb for this purpose and it requires the utmost skill and care on the part of the operator to trim the hair without leaving ridges. This comes from the fact that in the ordinary comb the hairs which are in contact with the ends of the slots or kerfs in the comb are supported and bent outward at almost a right angle to the surface of the comb and scalp, (the comb being usually held fiat against the scalp or with one of its sides parallel to the surface of the head), while the hairs above or nearer the points of the teeth of the comb are not supported at all and will drop down naturally as they grow, thus passing and crossing the hairs supported by the ends of the slots and it is practically impossible to clip or trim the one set of hairs which are properly supported without also clipping the ends of those which are angularly disposed and cross the others and unless great care and skill is observed a ridge will be the result.
The object of my invention therefore is to produce a comb for barbers use which will have a plurality of supports for the hairs arranged longitudinally of the comb and in parallel relation to each other so as to hold and support two or more lines of hairs at right angles to the surface of the comb and thus prevent the crossing of the hairs above with the line of hairs which it is desired to trim or clip, as will be fully set forth in the following specification.
To the above ends my invention consists of the improved comb which will be hereinafter described and claimed.
My invention is shown in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 shows in plan view a comb embodying my invention. Fig. 2 shows a diagrammatic view illustrating the operation of my comb.
Similar reference characters are employed to designate corresponding parts.
My improved comb a is made of any material suitable for the purpose and isprovided with a back 6 and teeth a. The teeth 0 may be of any desired shape and size and are formed in the usual manner by forming the slots or kerfs d and d, the slots or kerfs d being deeper than the slots 02, thus there is produced two lines of supports 6 and c at different elevations with relation to the back edge of the comb. This is the novel feature of my invention.
An inspection of Fig. 2 shows my comb in operation wherein it will be seen that the line of supports 6 supports the hairs to be trimmed ofl", while the line of supports e supports the hairs above and prevent them from falling down and crossing the line to be cut or trimmed.
Having described my invention, I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States:
1. A barbers comb having teeth, the points of which are in alinement and havin between the teeth, slots or kerfs of different depths, substantially as described.
2. A barbers comb in which the alternate slots or kerfs between the teeth are of different depths, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signa ture, in presence of two witnesses.
JAMES F. LYNCH.
Witnesses JOSEPH L. BARRY, JOHN M. BARRY.
