Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a comb having a surface subjected to a plating treatment. Background Art

[0002] When the surface of the comb is plated, the surface becomes smooth and the contact friction with the hair is reduced. Such a comb has the effect of discharging static electricity retained in the hair by using the human body as a ground (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). As shown in Patent Document 1, if a plating treatment is applied, a non-plated portion will be generated at the contact point with the electrode portion. There is a problem of peeling starting from the non-plated portion, and there is a possibility of being dissolved by hair dye during dyeing, so the non-plated portion needs to be covered with a plated component. In Patent Document 1, the non-plated portion is covered by a cover body that is interlocked with each other. Such a plating treatment can achieve the feeling of combing smooth hair and prevent hair from tangling.

[0003] On the other hand, as a hairbrush for combing hair, even without plating, it is possible to prevent hair from becoming tangled by forming teeth individually from a flexible material (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0008] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0009] However, in the case of a comb, not a hairbrush, all parts, including the teeth and grip, are made of a relatively rigid material, such as resin. Therefore, in the case of a comb, it is not common for only the teeth to be made of a different material, making manufacturing difficult. Furthermore, when combing hair, it is preferable to have teeth that are highly rigid and whose contacting parts are made of extremely smooth, low-friction components. This is because, especially when hair is intricately tangled, combing hair with soft teeth can be time-consuming.

[0010] Furthermore, to prevent hair from getting tangled in the teeth, a comb with widely spaced teeth is used to first comb the hair into strands, followed by a comb with narrower teeth for finer combing. However, this method requires two combs, each requiring replacement, which is time-consuming and troublesome.

[0011] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a comb which, even if made of a material with relatively high rigidity, does not tangle hair, so that hair can be smoothly combed with only one comb.

[0012] Solution for Solving the Problem

[0013] To achieve the above object, in the present invention, there is provided a comb, characterized in that the comb includes a comb body and comb teeth. The surface of the comb body is subjected to plating treatment. The comb body includes: a holding part for a user to hold; a base part continuous with the holding part; and a plurality of comb teeth protruding from the base part. The comb teeth include: at least one row of main teeth arranged at intervals along the central axis in the longitudinal direction of the comb body; and sub-teeth with at least one row respectively arranged on both sides of the main teeth in parallel with the main teeth. The height of the main teeth is higher than that of the adjacent sub-teeth (located on the left and right of the main teeth) in the left-right direction of the comb body, and the number of the main teeth is less than that of the sub-teeth.

[0014] Preferably, the base part has a through hole penetrating between the main teeth and the sub-teeth.

[0015] Preferably, the main teeth are formed to expand toward the root.

[0016] Preferably, the base part is formed to be wider than the holding part, and the sub-teeth are formed along the left and right peripheries of the base part.

[0017] Preferably, the main teeth and the sub-teeth are formed in a curved shape that is recessed in the center when viewed as a whole from the side.

[0018] Effect of the Invention

[0019] According to the present invention, there are main teeth and sub-teeth as comb teeth. The height of the main teeth arranged along the central axis is higher than that of the adjacent sub-teeth (located on the left and right of the main teeth). And the number of the main teeth is less than that of the sub-teeth. Therefore, first, the main teeth contact the user's head, and the hair is initially combed by the main teeth. Since the number of the main teeth is small, the hair is initially roughly combed by the main teeth. Then, by tilting the comb body, the sub-teeth can be used to comb the part that has been combed by the main teeth. Since the number of the sub-teeth is large, the hair that has been roughly combed by the main teeth can be combed more carefully. The hair is aligned to a certain extent by the main teeth, so when using the sub-teeth with a larger number of teeth to comb, the situation where the hair is wound around the sub-teeth can be prevented. Thus, even for a comb body made of a material with relatively high rigidity, it is possible to prevent hair from tangling and comb the hair with only one comb body. That is to say, the hair can be roughly combed by one action and then carefully combed.

[0020] In addition, since through-holes are formed in the base portion, when the comb body is plated, the plating solution can flow through these through-holes, thereby improving the reliability of the plating's adhesion to the comb body. Also, when combing hair, the hair can also pass through these through-holes, thus further preventing hair entanglement.

[0021] In addition, since the main teeth are formed in a manner that expands toward their roots, high rigidity can be ensured, enabling the hair to be roughly combed first and also reducing the occurrence of hair entanglement.

[0022] In addition, since the base portion is formed to be wider than the holding portion and the sub-teeth are formed along the left and right peripheries of the base portion, a certain distance is formed between the main teeth and the sub-teeth. Therefore, after the hair is roughly combed between a certain distance by the main teeth, the sub-teeth can be used to comb the hair. Thus, by forming locks of hair after roughly combing the hair to a certain extent with the main teeth and then using the sub-teeth to comb the hair, the hair can be combed more smoothly. Compared with using the sub-teeth to comb the hair immediately after using the main teeth to comb the hair, if the sub-teeth are used to comb the hair after the main teeth have combed the hair to a certain extent, the degree of hair combing is better, so a certain distance is provided between the main teeth and the sub-teeth.

[0023] In addition, since the main teeth and the sub-teeth are formed in a curved shape that is recessed in the center as a whole when viewed from the side, the front ends of the main teeth and the sub-teeth contact the human head along the shape of the human head, which can reduce damage to the scalp and thus smoothly comb the hair.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 it can be seen that the comb 1 of the present invention has a comb body 2. The surface of the comb body 2 has been plated. Specifically, the comb body 2 is formed by plating a resin molded product (such as an ABS resin molded product). Thus, the surface becomes smooth, thereby reducing the contact friction with the hair. In addition, for the plating treatment, the effect of discharging the static electricity remaining on the hair to the human body as the ground has also been confirmed. When performing this plating, the electrode contacts the comb body 2, and the comb body 2 is held by the electrode. In order to ensure reliable holding of the comb body 2 by the electrode, an insertion hole 6 through which the electrode passes is formed in the comb body 2 for the plating treatment. This insertion hole 6 is blocked by a cover (not shown) or the like when the product is turned into the comb 1.

[0032] The comb body 2 is formed by comb teeth 3, a holding portion 4, and a base portion 5. The holding portion 4 is the part held by the user who uses the comb 1 to comb the hair. The base portion 5 is continuously formed from one end of the holding portion 4. And, a plurality of comb teeth 3 are formed so as to protrude from the base portion 5.

[0033] The comb teeth 3 include at least one row (one row in the figure) of main teeth 7, and at least one row (one row on each of the left and right sides in the figure) of sub-teeth 8 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the main teeth 7. Specifically, a plurality of (six main teeth 7 in the figure) main teeth 7 are arranged at intervals along the central axis in the long side direction of the comb body 2. The sub-teeth 8 are arranged at intervals on the left and right sides of the main teeth 7 in a manner parallel to the main teeth 7. Referring to the accompanying drawings, the number of main teeth 7 in each row is less than the number of sub-teeth 8. And, referring to Figure 7 it can be seen that the height of the main teeth 7 is higher than the height of the adjacent sub-teeth 8 in the left-right direction (the direction orthogonal to the central axis of the comb body 2) of the comb body 2.

[0034] That is, as the comb teeth 3, there are main teeth 7 and sub-teeth 8. The height of the main teeth 7 arranged along the central axis of the comb body 2 is higher than that of the adjacent sub-teeth 8 (located on the left and right of the main teeth 7). Also, the number of main teeth 7 is less than the number of sub-teeth 8. Therefore, when the user holds the holding part 4 and makes the comb teeth 3 contact the user's head, first the main teeth 7 contact the user's head. Then, the hair is first combed by the main teeth 7. Since the number of main teeth 7 is small, the hair is first roughly combed by the main teeth 7. Then, by tilting the comb body 2, the sub-teeth 8 can be used to comb the part that has been combed by the main teeth 7. Since the number of sub-teeth 8 is large, the hair that has been roughly combed by the main teeth 7 can be combed more carefully. The hair is combed somewhat neatly by the main teeth 7, so when combing with the sub-teeth 8 having a larger number of teeth, the situation where the hair gets entangled with the sub-teeth 8 can be prevented. Thus, even for a comb body 2 made of a material with relatively high rigidity, it is possible to prevent hair entanglement and comb the hair with only one comb body 2. That is, it is possible to roughly comb the hair with the main teeth 7 in one action and then carefully comb it with the sub-teeth 8 to finish.

[0035] The main teeth 7 are formed in a manner that expands toward their roots. Therefore, the main teeth 7 can ensure relatively high rigidity. Due to the relatively high rigidity, even for entangled hair, it is possible to roughly comb the hair initially. Thus, the situation of hair entanglement is reduced. It should be noted that it is preferable that the front ends of the main teeth 7 and the sub-teeth 8 are spherical. This is to reduce the damage caused by contact with the scalp.

[0036] Here, the base part 5 has a through-hole 9 that penetrates between the main teeth 7 and the sub-teeth 8. That is, the main teeth 7 and the sub-teeth 8 are separated at a certain constant distance, and at this separated interval, the base part 5 penetrates through the through-hole 9. Through this through-hole 9, when plating the comb body 2, the plating solution can flow through the through-hole 9, thereby improving the reliability of the adhesion of the plating to the comb body 2. Also, when combing the hair, the hair can also pass through this through-hole 9, so it is possible to further prevent hair entanglement. That is, when the base part 5 is only in a plate shape, when using the comb 1 to comb the hair, the hair will concentrate at the bottom of the comb teeth 3, so the possibility of the hair getting entangled with the comb teeth 3 becomes high. In contrast, by providing the through-hole 9, the hair passes through the through-hole 9 of the base part 5, so the situation where the hair concentrates at the bottom of the comb teeth 3 and gets entangled can be prevented.

[0037] In addition, the base portion 5 is formed to be wider than the gripping portion 4. Further, the auxiliary teeth 8 are formed along the left and right circumferences of the base portion 5. Therefore, a certain distance is formed between the main teeth 7 and the auxiliary teeth 8. Thus, after roughly combing the hair between a certain distance by using the main teeth 7, the hair can be combed by using the auxiliary teeth 8. Thereby, after forming a lock of hair by roughly combing the hair to a certain extent by using the main teeth 7, the hair can be combed by using the auxiliary teeth 8, so that the hair can be combed more smoothly. Compared with the case of immediately combing the hair by using the auxiliary teeth 8 after combing the hair by using the main teeth 7, if the hair is combed by using the auxiliary teeth 8 after combing the hair to a certain extent by using the main teeth 7, the degree of hair combing is better, so a certain distance is provided between the main teeth 7 and the auxiliary teeth 8.

[0038] In addition, the main teeth 7 and the auxiliary teeth 8 are formed in a curved shape that is concave in the center when observing the whole row from the side. Therefore, the front ends of the main teeth 7 and the auxiliary teeth 9 contact the human head along the shape of the human head, which can reduce the damage to the scalp and thus smoothly comb the hair.

[0039] The protrusion 10 is formed to extend from the surface on the opposite side of the comb teeth 3 of the base portion 5. Specifically, the protrusions 10 are arranged at intervals along the back sides of the main teeth 7 and the auxiliary teeth 8. By using this protrusion 10, the user can massage by rubbing the scalp or other skin. In particular, if the protrusion 10 is formed in a manner located directly on the back side of the main tooth 7, it can also be used to strengthen the main tooth 7, thereby further improving the rigidity of the main tooth 7.
