Definitions

• THIS INVENTION relates generally to the field of hairdressing combs.
• a hairdressing comb for use in lifting streaks of hair from a scaled out section of hair during a highlighting or other hair-beautifying procedure.
• a hairdressing comb for use in lifting streaks of hair from a scaled out section of hair during a highlighting or other hair-beautifying procedure.
• US patent 4.S96.996 [Hirsh] discloses a comb which has a series of haiNifting teeth, each with a hair-lifting formation which extends at an acute angle from the respective tooth, the haiNifting formations all being on the same side of the teeth.
• the comb disclosed in my US patent 5,152,306 improved on this construction by providing one or more teeth without haiNifting formations (i.e. plain teeth) between each pair of haiNifting teeth.
• a hairdressing comb in which the haiNifting formation of each pair of adjacent haiNifting teeth both extend laterally into the gap between the teeth of that pair, the one haiNifting formation of each said pair extending into the respective gap to a point laterally beyond that to which the other hairlifting formation of that pair extends into the respective gap.
• the haiNifting formations of each said pair of teeth may be staggered with respect to one another, in the longitudinal direction of the teeth.
• the spaces between adjacent pairs of haiNifting teeth may be unoccupied by other teeth or haiNifting formations.
• the spaces between adjacent pairs of haiNifting teeth may be occupied by one or more further teeth, the further teeth being without hair lifting formations.
• Figure 1 is a side view of a comb in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
• Figure 2 is a side view of a comb in accordance with another embodiment of the invention.
• Figure 3 shows part of the comb of Figure 1, drawn to a larger scale, to illustrate more clearly the tooth configuration of the comb;
• FIGS 4 and 5 illustrate two alternative tooth configurations in accordance with the invention.
• reference numeral 10 generally indicates a comb which has a spine 12, a handle or rat-tail 14, and a series of teeth 16 extending from the spine.
• the teeth 16 are arranged in spaced pairs, each pair comprising a tooth 16.1 and a tooth 16.2, the teeth 16.1 and 16.2 defining between them a gap 18 into which hair can enter.
• the tooth 16.1 has a first haiNifting formation 20.1 which extends at an acute angle laterally into the gap 18, whereas the second tooth 16.2 has a haiNifting formation 20.2 which extends at an acute angle laterally into the gap 18.
• the two haiNifting formations 20.1 and 20.2 are staggered with respect to one another in the longitudinal direction of the teeth, and the one haiNifting formation extends into the gap. In other words, the formations 20.1 and 20.2 overlap one another.
• a comb 10.1 which is similar to the comb 10, the same reference numerals being used to indicate the same or equivalent parts.
• the comb 10.1 differs from the comb 10 in that it is double-sided, having a series of plain teeth 24, without haiNifting formations, which extend from the spine 12 on that side thereof which is opposite the teeth 16.
• the configuration illustrated in Figure 4 differs from that illustrated in Figure 3 in that the spacing between adjacent pairs of haiNifting teeth 16.1, 16.2 is greater, there being, in each space between adjacent pairs of haiNifting teeth, a single plain tooth 26, i.e. 3 a tooth without haiNifting formations.
• the configuration illustrated in Figure 5 differs from that illustrated in Figure 4 in that the spacing between adjacent pairs of haiNifting teeth 16.1, 16.2 is even greater than that in the Figure 4 embodiment, there being, in each space between adjacent pairs of haiNifting teeth, two plain teeth 2B.
