Benefits of technology

This patent describes a specialized comb that combines multiple hair styling tools in one compact unit. The comb has several advantages including allowing for multiple hairstyles, easy grip for fast and secure hair manipulation, and being adaptable for all phases of hairstyling. The comb also features stabilizing characteristics to prevent balancing issues while passing through hair. Additionally, the comb can be conveniently manufactured and easily integrated with other tools. Overall, this patent provides a specialized comb that solves previous comb drawbacks and provides a more efficient and precise tool for hairstyling.

Problems solved by technology

General-purpose hair styling tools are often insufficient to achieve desired hairstyling results.
For example, the parting of hair is challenging to execute using a standard comb.
Combs designed for hair parting exist; however, they still require external tools for some parts of the hairstyling process.
They also frequently trap hair and result in pulling or tugging of hair.
Standard parting combs are time-consuming and do not incorporate all the hairstyling surfaces needed to create a desirable hair part.
It is difficult to create a straight part using standard combs, and the stylist must reach for multiple tools to complete a job.

embodiment 60

[0036]FIG. 4 is another overview of an embodiment 60. In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the parting elongated portion 66 is substantially cylindrical and has a cross-section that is substantially a circle, except for the rounded tip 62.

[0037]The cross-bar 64 of the embodiment 60 includes a flat area 68. The flat area 68 can accommodate printed or etched indicia, including branding, instructions, product number, or other information. In one embodiment, the flat area 68 includes a QR code with instructions on how to use the embodiment 60.

[0038]Another embodiment is depicted in FIG. 5. In the embodiment of the comb 70, the elongated substrate 72 comprises a different material than the main body 76 of the comb 70. The elongated substrate 72 comprises a metallic cylinder. The metal for the elongated substrate 72 is selected to be non-reactive with hairstyling products. In one embodiment, the metallic elongated substrate 72 comprises a coated aluminum rod. In another embodiment, the metallic e...

embodiment 10

[0044]In embodiments where the projections form a single hook structure, such as the embodiment 10 shown in FIG. 1, the end-user's hair is styled by hooking onto the top of the structure, such as the top of the first projection 86.

Use Steps

[0045]In use, the specialized comb is grasped by the handle portion or the elongated portion, or both. Compared with a convention comb, the specialized comb described herein has a defined handle portion that is in the middle of the device as opposed to the top or the end of the main body of the comb that does not include the teeth or tines.

[0046]The elongated portion is then inserted into the hair at the approximate location of where the part will be created. The elongated portion is oriented so that it is substantially parallel to the scalp but is inserted into the hair with the tip at the distal end of the elongated portion entering the hair first.

[0047]Once the elongated portion is in its desired location, the hair is parted by lifting the elon...

embodiment 140

[0063]FIG. 8B depicts an overview of an embodiment 140 wherein the elongated substrate 142 comprises a pin 144. The pin 144 comprises a segment 146 with a substantially constant cross-section and a tapered segment 148, which terminates in a point 150. The pin 144 comprises a metallic substrate, in one embodiment.

[0064]The tapered segment 148 is a minority of the length of the pin 144, for example, being 15% of the length of the pin 144, in one embodiment.

[0065]The embodiment 140 shown in FIG. 8B is referred to as comprising a pintail comb.

[0066]The pin 144 is received by the handle portion 152. In one embodiment, the pin 144 is kept in place by frictional engagement with the handle portion 152. In another embodiment, the pin 144 has a threaded segment whose threads are received by threads defined in the handle portion 152.

Abstract

A specialized comb is described. It includes a main body, a handle portion attached to the main body, and a parting elongated portion attached to the handle portion. The comb includes several hair styling areas. A first styling area uses substantially straight teeth extending from a cross-bar. A second styling area comprises a notch with indentations for guiding hair.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The field of the invention is a hair comb with specialized features. In one embodiment, the comb includes components designed to facilitate parting of hair, including an elongated portion and multiple hairstyling portions.2. Background of the Invention[0002]General-purpose hair styling tools are often insufficient to achieve desired hairstyling results. For example, the parting of hair is challenging to execute using a standard comb. A well-defined hair part requires both movements of large amounts of hair and precise styling of small quantities of hair, as frequently found around an end user's hairline.[0003]Combs designed for hair parting exist; however, they still require external tools for some parts of the hairstyling process. They also frequently trap hair and result in pulling or tugging of hair.[0004]Standard parting combs are time-consuming and do not incorporate all the hairstyling surfaces needed to create a desira...
