Description

Technical area

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of hairdressing salon tools, in particular a straightening comb with floating comb teeth. Background technology

[0002] Straightening combs are widely used in the hairdressing industry for straightening hair. One example is the electric straightening comb published in China under patent number CN201510321623.3. This comb comprises a handle and a comb section containing a heating element and protruding comb teeth, consisting of upper and lower teeth. Contact between the heating element and the comb section heats the upper and lower teeth, directly straightening the hair. Because the upper and lower teeth are staggered, the distance between adjacent teeth is reduced, allowing for better contact with the hair during straightening. Therefore, the hairdresser does not need to use an additional comb or hold the straightening comb, simplifying its use.The disadvantage, however, is that the spacing between the comb teeth is fixed and cannot be changed. This means the distance between each tooth is always the same and cannot be adjusted, which may make the straightening comb unsuitable for all hair types or thicknesses.

[0003] For example, if the combs are too far apart, i.e., the gap is too large, fine hairs may not be effectively caught, which impairs the straightening result. Conversely, if the combs are too close together, i.e., the gap is too small, it can be difficult to straighten thick or curly hair without breaking it.

[0004] Furthermore, the metal teeth of existing straightening combs are usually open from root to tip, with the gaps widening towards the top. When combing, some hair can slip out of these gaps at the tips of the teeth and detach from the comb, preventing this section of hair from being effectively straightened. This is particularly noticeable when combing the ends of the hair, where there is less hair, and it compromises the straightening result. Contents of the utility model

[0005] The utility model eliminates the disadvantages of the prior art and offers an elastic floating comb-tooth straightening comb with a more rational design that can adapt to the thickness of the hair and achieves a better straightening effect.

[0006] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, the utility model employs the following technical solution: An elastic floating comb-tine smoothing comb, comprising a housing, heating elements, a comb-tine assembly, a control switch, and a printed circuit board, wherein the heating elements are connected to the printed circuit board; the comb-tine assembly comprises mounting comb tines and elastic comb tines, wherein the mounting comb tines are fixedly mounted in the housing and the elastic comb tines are movably mounted in the housing, with each elastic comb tine facing a mounting comb tine; elastic parts are attached to the side of the elastic comb tines, bearing against the side of the elastic comb tines, so that the elastic comb tines form a structure that can move closer to or away from the mounting comb tines.The upper side of at least one of the elastic comb teeth and the fastening comb teeth is inclined, so that a gap is created between the elastic comb teeth and the fastening comb teeth to pick up the hair.

[0007] Thanks to its flexible comb teeth construction, which can adjust the spacing between the teeth under external force and the elasticity of the comb's body, the comb adapts to different hair thicknesses and strengths, ensuring that each individual hair receives the correct tension. This contributes to an even distribution of straightening force and prevents individual hairs from being overstretched or insufficiently straightened. This floating feature allows the combs to glide smoothly through the hair, reducing friction and minimizing the risk of breakage, which is particularly beneficial for people with brittle or damaged hair. This results in gentler and more effective straightening, resolving problems such as insufficient tension and hair breakage.

Elastic parts are arranged on the side of the elastic comb teeth 3, bearing against the side of the elastic comb teeth 3, so that the elastic comb teeth 3 can move closer to or further away from the mounting comb teeth 22. The upper surface of at least one of the elastic comb teeth 3 and the mounting comb teeth 22 is inclined, so that a gap is provided between the elastic comb teeth 3 and the mounting comb teeth 22 for picking up hair.

[0010] The fastening comb teeth 22 are arranged on a comb pin 2, with several fastening comb teeth 22 being connected to a unit at their lower sides by a fastening frame 21; between adjacent fastening comb teeth 22 are comb tooth holes 23, from which elastic comb teeth 3 protrude and are opposite the fastening comb teeth 22.

[0011] In each comb tooth hole 23, a set of elastic comb teeth 3 is arranged, each set of elastic comb teeth 3 comprising left and right comb teeth 31 and right comb teeth 32 arranged symmetrically to the left and right, i.e., one fastening comb tooth is connected to two elastic comb teeth; the left comb teeth 31 are opposite the right side of the fastening comb teeth 22, the right comb teeth 32 are opposite the left side of the fastening comb teeth 22; the elastic parts are arranged between the left and right comb teeth 31, 32 and simultaneously press against the opposite sides of the left and right comb teeth 31, 32 to form a structure that can move the left and right comb teeth 31, 32 simultaneously to the left and right.

[0012] Furthermore, the device comprises comb tine covers 5, wherein the comb tine covers 5 are provided with separating covers 51 and separating tines 52, wherein a gap is formed between the separating covers 51 and the separating tines 52 to form comb grooves 53, each comb groove 53 corresponding to a slot for receiving hair.

[0013] The housing comprises a first housing 11 and a second housing 12, wherein the comb tine cover 5 is attached to the first housing 11, the separating covers 51 and the separating tines 52 are arranged at a distance from each other, the separating covers 51 covering the elastic comb tines 3 and the separating tines 52 covering the fastening comb tines 22.

[0014] On the upper side of the elastic comb teeth 3, protruding limiting lugs 34 are provided, and on the inside of the separating covers 51, comb tooth covers 54 corresponding to the limiting lugs 34 are provided, into which the limiting lugs 34 are inserted. The dimensions of the comb tooth covers 54 are larger than the dimensions of the limiting lugs 34, so that the limiting lugs 34 can move within the comb tooth covers 54 to limit the range of movement of the elastic comb teeth 3.

[0015] Separating webs 24 are arranged along each fastening comb tine 22, running in the same direction as the fastening comb tines 22 and extending to the underside of the fastening frame 21 on both sides. Support feet 33 are arranged on the underside of the elastic comb tines 3, which are blocked by the space formed by the fastening frame 21 and the separating webs 24, so that the elastic comb tines 3 can only move laterally.

[0016] The heating elements 8 are secured by a mounting cover 6, the mounting cover 6 clamping the mounting frame 21 of the comb pins 2; heat-conducting plates 7 are attached to the heating elements 8, the individual mounting comb prongs 22 and the individual elastic comb prongs 3 being in contact with the heat-conducting plates 7 via the separating webs 24 and the support feet 33 respectively, to form a heat transfer structure; the mounting cover 6 can be made of an aluminum alloy or another metal material.

[0017] The fastening comb teeth 22 and the elastic comb teeth 3 protrude from the first housing 11, and the second housing 12 covers the underside of the fastening covers 6.

[0018] Silicone blocks 4 are used as elastic parts.

[0019] In a second embodiment, which relates to the Fig.With reference to 7 to 9, springs 9 are used as elastic elements, each spring 9 corresponding to a group of elastic comb teeth 3; on the opposite sides of the left comb teeth 31 and the right comb teeth 32 of each group of elastic comb teeth 3, fastening grooves 36 are provided into which the two ends of the springs 9 are inserted, thus ensuring a more stable connection with the elastic comb teeth 3. The springs 9 protrude with two fastening feet 91, which clamp the underside of the elastic comb teeth 3.

[0020] Under the action of the springs 9, the left and right comb teeth 31 and 32 are spread as far to the left and right as possible, minimizing the gap between the elastic comb teeth 3 and the fixed comb teeth 22, which serve to hold the hair. This is suitable for fine hair. With thicker or coarser hair, the hair presses against the left comb teeth 31 and / or the right comb teeth 32, compressing the springs 9. This increases the gap for holding the hair and reduces the pressure on the hair. In this way, both insufficient pressure prevents the hair from being stretched too much and excessive pressure prevents it from breaking. The function is similar to using silicone blocks 4 as an elastic element.

[0021] An inclined section 25 is provided on the upper side of the fastening comb teeth 22, whereby the upper side of the fastening comb teeth 22 is tapered inwards, and hook-shaped parts 35 are provided on the upper side of the elastic comb teeth 3, which project in the direction of the inclined section 25, wherein the hook-shaped parts 35 project in the direction of the fastening comb teeth 22 and between the fastening comb teeth 22 and wherein the hook-shaped parts 35 project to near the fastening comb teeth 22 and form a gap between these and the fastening comb teeth 22, which forms the hair channels 10 through which the hair enters the straightening comb; wherein the hook-shaped parts 35 are oriented relative to the inclined parts 25 of the fastening comb teeth 22 such that they project over the gap between the fastening comb teeth 22 and the elastic comb teeth 3, i.e. the inclined parts 25 are located below the hook-shaped parts 35.It should be noted that the definitions of upward and downward direction in this utility model are based on the smoothing comb teeth facing upwards. If the viewing angle of the combs changes, the directions mentioned above will change accordingly.

[0022] Once a strand of hair has passed through the hair channels 10 into the straightening comb, it is held in place by the hook-shaped parts 35 in the spaces between the comb teeth and is only pulled out of the comb teeth after heating and straightening. This ensures that all hair is straightened, effectively reducing the time required for repeated combing and increasing user comfort.

[0023] The utility model has been described in detail above. The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the utility model. If the scope of the utility model cannot be limited, all equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of this application will continue to fall under the scope of the utility model.
