Definitions

  • Hair cutting comb The present invention relates to a comb for cutting hair and method of use, and in particular a comb which facilities hair to be cut at a precise length.
  • Various apparatus and techniques for cutting and styling hair are known. The most frequently used technique is the scissor-over-comb method. This method allows a wide variety of hair styles and cuts to be achieved. However, this method also requires a high degree of skill to craft the hairstyle.
  • the scissors-over-comb method allows a hair stylist to cut close to the head and follow the hairline to achieve a precise cut. However, this method requires years of training to cut, shape and style the hair as desired.
  • Another method is the use of hair clippers with attached cutting guard.
  • a hair comb for cutting hair comprising:
  • each tooth has a polygonal profile shape and each side of the polygonal profile has a different length

  • the tooth depth gradually increases from the first depth until it reaches the intersection of the second and third surface, point X at in Figure 5A, before the tooth depth is reduced to reach tooth tip 530.
  • the handle section 514 is attached at one end of the comb body and it extends in the same plane or a plane parallel to the first surface 522.
  • FIG. 5B shows comb 600 which is similar to comb 500 and will be understood from the description of Figure 5A. However, in comb 600 as shown in Figure 5B, the length of the second surface (side) 624 is longer than the corresponding second surface 524 of the teeth in Figure 5A. Also, the length of the third surface (side) 626 of each tooth is shorter than the corresponding third surface 526 of the teeth in Figure 5A. The profile of the teeth in Figures 5A and 5B are different.
  • a range of tooth profile shapes each with a different tooth width or depth can be produced. This allows a range of cutting gradients or lengths to be produced.
  • the second surface 624 of the comb 600 diverges away from the first surface 622 at a smaller incline angle to the horizontal plane than the corresponding second surface 524 in comb 500 shown in Figure 5A.
  • a cutting device is moved along the surface of second side 624 it is in a closer position to the scalp and allows hair to be cut at a shorter length. Controlling the lengths of the sides of the scalene profile a range of cut lengths may be produced. The cuts may range from one eighth of an inch to one inch.
  • the teeth 516 and 616 have markings on their surfaces to act as a visual guide to indicate to the user the length that the hair will be cut to if the cutting device is moved over the surface of the second side 524 and 624 adjacent to that marking.
  • the markings are located on the first side 522, 622. However, the markings may be located additionally or alternatively on the second sider 524 and 624.
  • the terms 'comprise' or 'include', or variations such as 'comprises' or 'comprising', 'includes' or 'including' will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or group of integers, but not the exclusion of any other integer or group of integers.
  • the invention provides a hair comb comprising a base section and a plurality of teeth extending from the base section. Each tooth has a polygonal profile shape and each side of the polygonal profile has a different length. At least two sides of the polygonal profile extend from the base section.
  • the invention may provide a robust, reliable and efficient hair comb suitable for cutting hair to variety of lengths.
  • the base section has a triangular profile, it will be appreciated that other profile shapes may be used.
  • the profile shape may be selected to provide structural and stability support to the teeth and handle.
  • the profile shape may be selected to provide enable the comb to pass through the hair with little resistance and/or promote separation of the hair strands.
  • An alternative embodiment of the invention may comprise the teeth profile having a polygon shape profile which is not triangular. It will be appreciated that other tooth profile shapes may be used.
  • the profile shape may be selected to provide support to the cutting device.
  • the profile shape may be selected to contact the scalp and enable the comb to pass through the hair with little resistance and/or promote separation of the hair strands.
