AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a solution to the problem faced by hairstylists and other professionals who need to use a comb frequently during their work but do not want to hold it in their hand, which can cause tendinitis or carpal tunnel syndrome. The invention is a bracelet with magnets that can attract and hold a comb, allowing the user to easily detach or reattach the comb as needed. The bracelet can be worn on the right or left wrist, providing a new and efficient way to work, with freer fingers and reduced actions. Additionally, the invention allows for the use of ferromagnetic materials in the comb, making it more practical and useful for various hairdressing activities.

Problems solved by technology

All these movements complicated, time consuming and requiring ability, are little practical and require manual skill, which, even if is learned thanks to experience, remain however little practical and require additional time.
At the same time, they can cause physical damage or pain to the user as for example the carpal tunnel syndrome, due to hand and wrist tendons and muscles overstressing.

first embodiment

[0038]A first embodiment, not shown in figure, provides that inside the comb, realized in material based on plastic, possibly carbon-fiber reinforced, or in any material apt to be worked by means of hot injection technique, a thin little bar of ferromagnetic material, as for example stainless steel, is introduced directly in the mold. Such bar can be preferably arranged in the central portion of the comb axis, in barycentric position with respect to the two ends. so that the comb has greater stability once positioned on the bracelet. The metal core inside the comb allows to provide a comb, which outside seems wholly similar to a traditional comb, and at the same time the comb is given the ability to be attracted by a magnet.

[0039]A second embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d as for a fine-toothed comb and FIGS. 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d show a tail comb with tail in plastic or in the same material as the comb. FIG. 3 shows another tail comb, but with metal tail. Said second embodi...

third embodiment

[0041]A third embodiment is provided using paintings or sprays having micro-particles based on antioxidant iron, which are sprayed on the combs so that the same are given magnetic properties so that the same can be used according to the aim of the present invention.

fourth embodiment

[0042]A fourth embodiment to obtain the comb with magnetic properties is the one realized by adding in the plastic material used (ABS, PP, Nylon etc . . . ) micro-particles of anti-oxidant ferrous material, as for example stainless steel, which suitably mixed together allow to obtain, by a process of injection molding, a comb useful for the aims of the present invention.

[0043]FIG. 4 shows a fine-toothed comb, in which the points effect represents the metal particles along the whole surface.

[0044]The production methods described are apt to the realization of combs having various shape and toothing which contain ferromagnetic material apt to be used in combination with a magnetic bracelet and a support for styling chairs, having a magnetic or magnetized surface. As a way of example, in the following there is provided a list of comb types used by hairdressers and hair stylists, to which the present invention can be applied, without this list being limiting:

Abstract

The present invention relates to a comb, used in the professional field of hairdressers and hair stylists, inside which there is ferromagnetic material, to be used together with a bracelet with magnet-holder sliding modules; the magnetic bracelet, preferably in nonallergic material, worn on the wrist, is used as support so that the magnetic comb can be put away temporarily during the steps in which it is not used. The invention can comprise another magnetic support to be provided at the rear of the back of a styling chair.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is the U.S. National Stage under 35 USC 371 of PCT Application PCT / IB2012 / 0560019, claiming foreign priority based on Italian patent application FG201A000010.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a device for improving the working conditions of hair stylists, hairdressers and the like, in particular to reduce at minimum the movements needed to put down temporarily and then take again a comb or other tools during working hours.[0004]2.
