Description
No Flip Hi-Lite Comb
By
Kevin Balboa CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application number 12, 925,267, entitled No Flip Hi-Lite Comb, filed on October 18, 2010.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a comb for selectively separating strands of hair for the purpose of coloring or highlighting the selected strands of hair, and for teasing and combing the hair.
DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
The present invention is directed to a hair sectioning technique where some strands of hair will be separated or weaved. The small sections of weaved out hair will have a gentle highlighted effect when a hair coloring or a bleaching agent is applied to the sections. This is called highlighting, tipping or low lighting. Traditionally, the comb used has a "rattail," the point end of which is then used in a weaving manner to thread through sections of hair in order to separate it into alternating sections of hair strands, passing either over or under the "rattail." The sections of hair are separated using a sheet of material such as a metal foil, and then the coloring agent is applied to those sections, only on one side of the foil, then the foil is folded.
The technique of separating hair for highlighting with a "rattail" requires a flip movement. The technique is time consuming and requires a certain level of expertise. My invention, by having the weaving tool on top of comb, eliminates the flipping of the comb, thereby making the highlighting more efficient.
SUMMARY
To make the use of highlighting techniques more efficient and ergonomically effective, I have created a tool that will improve the method of separating hair strands.
Hairdressers enjoy to be creative. The tool of the present invention will help them be more creative, for it will allow them to eliminating the need to flip the tool after combing the hair section. This is accomplished by having the weaving section of the present invention on top of the combing section.
Normally, hair sectioned for highlighting needs to be combed first, then weaved. With the use of any "rattail comb," after hair is combed, a stylist needs to flip the comb in order to use the "rattail" portion of comb and be able to weave sectioned hair.
With my new tool there is no need to flip the comb, because it has the combing and weaving sections on the same side of the tools and a rounded handle with grips that enables the maneuverability of the tool to a right and/or left handed person.
The combing and weaving sections of the present invention will be great for hair teasing, backcombing, and styling by any person.
DRAWINGS
The above and other features, aspects and, advantages of the present invention will become apparent, as will a better understanding of the concept underlying the present invention, by reference to the description which follows and, refers to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a side view of the comb;
FIG. 2 is a top view of the comb; and
FIG.3 is a detailed view of the teeth of the comb.
DESCRIPTION
As seen in FIG. 1, a side view of the highlighting comb 30 of the present invention, comprises of a weaving stick 10 attached to a handle 11, the handle has a plurality of non-slip grips 12 on each side. The handle 11 defines a smooth rounded beginning tip 13 and a forward slanted end 14 which hold a weaving stick 10.
The Comb 30 includes a spine attached to bottom half of the comb handle 11, extending outwardly from the comb spine 15 is a row of teeth 16, the row of teeth 16 are between two relatively rigid portions 17 that also extend from the comb spine 15
As seen if Fig. 2, The handle 11 has a plurality of protruding non-slip grips 12 located on each side of handle 11. The Handle 11 has a smooth and rounded beginning tip 13. The comb spine 15 attaches to the handle 11 and the weaving pick extends over the comb spine 15 and diminishes in width towards the end of the stick 10.
As seen in Fig. 3, an enlarged view of the teeth 16 is shown. The teeth 16 are of four different lengths: Length one teeth are the longest and shall be referred hereinafter as L-l teethl8; length two are the smallest and shall be referred hereinafter as L-2 teeth 19; length three teeth
are greater in length than L-2 teeth 19 and shall be referred hereinafter as L-3 teeth 20; and length four teeth are greater in length than L-3 20 teeth yet are lesser in length than L-l teeth 18 and shall be referred hereinafter as L-4 teeth 21. The teeth are preferably made from a material which allows them to be somewhat flexible and resilient. The teeth 16 extend outwardly from the comb spine 15. In the following sequence, an L-l tooth 18 is adjacent to an L-2 tooth 19, then the L-2 tooth 18 is adjacent to an L-3 tooth 20, then the L-3 tooth 20 is adjacent another L-2 19 tooth, and then the other L-2 19 tooth is adjacent to an L-4 tooth 21, then the L-4 tooth 21 is adjacent to a next L-2 tooth 19, then lastly the next L-2 19 tooth is adjacent to another L-l tooth 18, the sequence repeats for the length of the spine 15 holding the teeth 16.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the weaving stick of the handle extends above and over the end of comb spine, the stick can be positioned from about a 0 degree to about a 45 degree angle, the stick is separated from and not attached to the comb spine.
