[0007] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments as long as they do not contradict the spirit of the present invention.

[0008] The comb of the present invention may be a brush with multiple teeth protruding from one surface, or a plate-shaped comb with multiple teeth protruding from it. The following mainly describes the case where the comb of the present invention is a comb, but when the present invention is applied to a brush, multiple teeth and grooves are provided in the thickness direction as shown in Figures 1 and 2, which will be described later.

[0009] FIG. 1 is a front view of a comb according to an embodiment of the present invention. The comb 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a comb, and a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the plate-shaped comb is viewed from the front. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a comb according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing a first comb portion having an L-shaped groove viewed from the front. Like FIG. 1, FIG. 2 is a front view of a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the plate-shaped comb. FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a comb according to an embodiment of the present invention, and like FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a front view of a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the plate-shaped comb.

[0010] Although not shown, the comb 1 may have a gripping portion for a user to hold the comb 1. If the comb 1 does not have a gripping portion, the user holds the base 21 or the base 31 to use the comb 1. The shape of the plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the comb 1 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, approximately rectangular or approximately semicircular.

[0011] The comb 1 includes a first comb section 2 and a second comb section 3. The second comb section 3 has the same function as a conventional comb. The second comb section 3 has a plurality of teeth 32 protruding from a base section 31, forming a plurality of grooves 33. The user can comb their hair by passing their hair through the grooves 33 and moving the comb 1 in the thickness direction. Note that the comb according to the present invention does not necessarily have to include the second comb section 3.

[0012] In the first comb portion 2, a plurality of teeth 22 protrude from the base 21, and a plurality of grooves 23 are formed. The shapes of the plurality of teeth 22 may be the same or different. The plurality of teeth 22 are preferably arranged parallel to each other so that the teeth 22 extend in the same direction from the base 21. The plurality of teeth 22 are preferably arranged in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the teeth 22 extend from the base 21 and the thickness direction, at least in the vicinity of the openings 24 of the grooves 23.

[0013] However, as long as it is possible to insert the hair into the grooves 23 by bringing the first comb part 2 into contact with the hair from direction 1, and to remove the hair from the grooves 23 by moving the first comb part 2 away from the hair in direction 1, the directions in which the teeth 22 protrude do not have to be parallel. For example, one tooth 22 may be inclined by 2° or less relative to the other adjacent teeth 22. Note that when the directions in which the teeth 22 extend from their bases 21 are parallel, the direction in which the teeth 22 extend from their bases 21 is the direction 1.

[0014] Here, the direction 1 can be defined as the up-down direction. The side with the base 21 can be defined as the upper side, and the side with the opening 24 of the groove 23 can be defined as the lower side. Furthermore, the direction perpendicular to the up-down direction and the thickness direction of the plate-like comb 1 can be defined as the left-right direction.

[0015] The grooves 23 of the comb 1 may have the same or different shapes. In Figs. 1 and 2, the grooves 23 have the same shape. Furthermore, the grooves 23 are preferably arranged parallel to each other near the opening 24 so that the grooves 23 face in the same direction from the opening 24 to the rear (the direction from bottom to top in the up-down direction). In this case, the grooves 23 are preferably aligned in the left-right direction at least near the opening 24.

[0016] However, as long as it is possible to insert the hair into the grooves 23 by bringing the first comb part 2 into contact with the hair from direction 1, and to remove the hair from the grooves 23 by moving the first comb part 2 away from the hair in direction 1, the orientation of the grooves 23 from the opening 24 toward the rear side does not have to be parallel. For example, the orientation of one groove 23 may be inclined at an angle of 2° or less with respect to the adjacent groove 23.

[0017] The tips of the multiple teeth 22 (when the teeth 22 have recesses 25, the outside of the depressions of the recesses 25 are the tips of the teeth 22) may be arranged in a straight line or in an arc. When the tips of the multiple teeth 22 are arranged in an arc, the tips are positioned higher in the vertical direction from the ends of the first comb part 2 to the center. This allows the outer shape of the first comb part 2 to mesh with the curved shape of the head, and when the first comb part 2 is brought into contact with the hair, it becomes possible to insert more hair into the grooves 23. For example, for the multiple recesses 25, the positions of the bottoms of the recesses 25 in the vertical direction can be kept the same, but the depths of the recesses 25 can be changed so that the depth of the recesses 25 becomes shallower from the ends of the first comb part 2 to the center, thereby making it possible to position the tips of the teeth 22 higher in the vertical direction from the ends of the first comb part 2 to the center.

[0018] For multiple recesses 25, the vertical position of the bottom of the recesses 25 is the same, but the depth of the recesses 25 is changed so that the depth of the recesses 25 becomes shallower from the end side of the first comb portion 2 to the center. In this case, the vertical distance between the tips of the teeth 22 at both ends of the first comb portion 2 and the tips of the teeth 22 at the center of the first comb portion 2 is preferably 0.1 to 3 mm, and more preferably 0.5 to 2 mm.

[0019] The material of the comb 1 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, wood, plastic, or metal.

[0020] There is no particular limitation on the length L1 in the vertical direction of the comb 1. When the planar shape of the comb 1 is not rectangular, the length L1 is defined as the shortest distance from the tip of the tooth 22 of the comb 1 to the base 21. For example, the length L1 in the vertical direction of the comb 1 is preferably 15 to 30 mm, and more preferably 20 to 25 mm.

[0021] The length L2 in the left-right direction of the comb 1 is not particularly limited. Here, the length L2 can be defined as, for example, the length from the left end of the leftmost groove to the right end of the rightmost groove. For example, the length L2 in the left-right direction of the comb 1 is preferably 30 to 100 mm, and more preferably 50 to 80 mm.

[0022] A plurality of grooves 23 are provided for hair to pass through. The width (length) L3 of the openings 24 of the grooves 23 is preferably 0.3 to 3 mm, and more preferably 0.5 to 1.5 mm. Here, the grooves 23 refer to depressions that are deeper than the openings 24 by more than 2 mm. Depths of 2 mm or less can also be defined as recesses, which will be described later. The width of the grooves 23, even on the back side of the openings 24, may be the same as the width L3 of the openings 24, or may be narrower or wider than the width L3 of the openings 24.

[0023] The width (length) L4 of the tooth near the opening 24 of the groove 23 (i.e., the width of the tip of the tooth 22, and the distance between the opening 24a of one groove 23a and the opening of the groove 23b adjacent to that groove 23b) is preferably 2 to 12 mm, and more preferably 4 to 8 mm. The larger the width (length) L4 of the tooth, the more hair on the surface side of the hair can be kept outside the groove 23 without being inserted into the groove 23.

[0024] The width of the tooth 22, even on the side further back than the opening 24, may be the same as the tooth width L4 near the opening 24, or may be narrower than the tooth width L4, or may be wider than the tooth width L4.

[0025] The groove 23 is bent to the right at the rear side from the opening 24, but may be bent to the left.

[0026] Preferably, groove 23 is provided so that, in at least a portion of the region deeper than opening 24 of groove 23, direction D2, in which hair can be inserted deeper into groove 23 at opening 24 of groove 23, intersects direction D1, in which hair can be moved from opening 24 of groove 23 to the rear. Direction D1 is typically parallel to the up-down direction, but groove 23 is preferably provided with a region in which direction D2 intersects direction D1. Direction D2 can be made to intersect with direction D1 by, for example, having groove 23 branch in a direction extending in at least one of the left and right directions deeper than opening 24 of groove 23, bending groove 23 in a direction extending in at least one of the left and right directions deeper than opening 24 of groove 23, or gradually changing the direction of extension of groove 23 in a curved shape deeper than opening 24 of groove 23. The angle formed by direction D1 and direction D2 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 90 to 150°, and more preferably 110 to 140°.

[0027] By providing such grooves in comb 1, the left-right position of at least one point in groove 23 behind opening 24 differs from the left-right position of opening 24. Here, assume that the left-right position of at least one point Pa1 in groove 23a behind opening 24a is point Qa1. Opening 24a is located at any point between its end points Pa2 and Pa3, and the left-right position of opening 24 is any point between points Qa2 and Qa3. Point Qa1 differs from any point between points Qa2 and Qa3. By adopting such a configuration, when hair is passed through groove 23 using comb 1, hair that was on the skin side before use of comb 1 and inserted into groove 23 can be positioned on the front side of hair that was on the surface side before use of comb 1 and was not inserted into groove 23.

[0028] It is preferable to form the grooves 23 so that the left-right distance between the point farthest from the opening 24 of the first groove 23 in the left-right direction within the groove 23 on the back side of the opening 24 of the first groove 23 and the opening 24 of the first groove 23 is longer than the left-right distance between the farthest point and the opening 24 of the groove 23 adjacent to the first groove 23. In FIG. 2, the left-right distance between the point Pa1 farthest from the opening 24a in the left-right direction within the groove 23a on the back side of the opening 24a and the opening 24a can be represented by the distance between the points Qa1 and Qa3. On the other hand, the left-right distance between the farthest point Pa1 and the opening 24b of the groove 23b adjacent to the groove 23a (any point between the end points Pb2 and Pb3) can be represented by the distance between the points Qa1 and Qb2. Therefore, it is preferable to provide grooves 23a and 23b so that the distance between points Qa1 and Qa3 is longer than the distance between points Qa1 and Qb2. By adopting such a configuration, when comb 1 is used to pass hair through grooves 23, more of the hair that was on the skin side before using comb 1 and has been inserted into grooves 23 can be positioned on the surface side of the hair that was on the surface side before using comb 1 and has not been inserted into grooves 23.

[0029] The distance in the left-right direction between point Pa1, which is farthest from opening 24 of groove 23 in the left-right direction, and opening 24 of groove 23, i.e., the distance between point Qa1 and point Qa3, is preferably 3 mm or more, and more preferably 5 mm or more. The distance between point Qa1 and point Qa3 is preferably 20 mm or less, preferably 10 mm or less, and more preferably 8 mm or less. By increasing the distance between point Qa1 and point Qa3, it becomes possible to position more of the hair that was on the skin side before use of comb 1 and that has been inserted into groove 23, on the front side of the hair that was on the surface side before use of comb 1 and that has not been inserted into groove 23.

[0030] The grooves 23 are preferably arranged so that the left-right position of the point farthest from the opening 24 of one groove 23 in the left-right direction within the groove 23 on the back side of the opening 24 of the first groove 23 overlaps with the left-right position from the opening 24 of the groove 23 adjacent to the first groove 23 to point Pb2, within the groove 23 on the back side of the opening 24 of the adjacent groove 23, farthest from the opening 24 of the adjacent groove 23 in the left-right direction. The grooves 23 are preferably arranged so that the left-right position of point Pa1 farthest from the opening 24a in the left-right direction (point Qa1), within the groove 23a on the back side of the opening 24a, overlaps with the left-right position from the opening 24b of the groove 23b adjacent to the groove 23a (any point between the end points Pb2 and Pb3) to point Pb1, within the groove 23b on the back side of the opening 24b, farthest from the opening 24b in the left-right direction. In other words, point Qa1 is preferably located between points Qb2 and Qb1.

[0031] The groove 23 may be L-shaped as shown in Fig. 2. The L-shape here refers not only to a shape in which two elongated grooves are joined perpendicularly, but also to a shape in which the grooves are joined at an angle other than perpendicular. In Figs. 1 and 2, the groove 23 is bent to the left above the opening 24, but it may also be bent to the right above the opening 24.

[0032] By making the groove 23 L-shaped, it is possible to increase the distance between points Qa1 and Qa3 without making the width of the tooth 22 too thin, that is, without reducing the strength of the tooth 22 too much.

[0033] Groove 23 extends upward from opening 24 in direction D1, bends to the right at bending point P5, and extends to the upper left in direction D2. The distance L5 between point P4 at the center of opening 24 and bending point P5 is not particularly limited. Distance L5 is preferably 0.5 mm or more, and more preferably 1 mm or more. Distance L5 is preferably 3 mm or less, and more preferably 2 mm or less.

[0034] Furthermore, the distance L6 between the bending point P5 and the point P6 of the groove 23 that is furthest from the opening 24 in the left-right direction within the groove 23 on the inner side of the opening 24 is not particularly limited. The distance L6 is preferably 3 mm or more, and more preferably 5 mm or more. The distance L6 is preferably 15 mm or less, and more preferably 12 mm or less.

[0035] The distance between point P4 at the center of opening 24 of groove 23 and point P6 within groove 23 on the inner side of opening 24 of groove 23 that is farthest from opening 24 of groove 23 in the left-right direction (i.e., the sum of distances L5 and L6) is not particularly limited. The sum of distances L5 and L6 is preferably 5 mm or more, and more preferably 6 mm or more.

[0036] The shape of the grooves 23 is not particularly limited. For example, they may be Y-shaped as shown in FIG. 3(a) or cross-shaped as shown in FIG. 3(b). As shown in FIGS. 3(c) and 3(d), the grooves 23 extending in the left-right direction may have different vertical heights. In FIG. 3(d), the grooves 23 extend parallel to the horizontal direction, while in FIG. 3(c), the grooves 23 extend in a direction inclined relative to the horizontal direction. Alternatively, the shape of the grooves 23 may be T-shaped. The matters described above in the explanation of FIGS. 1 and 2 can also be applied to a comb having grooves of a shape different from those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, as shown in FIG. 3, to the extent that no contradictions arise.

[0037] It is preferable that the comb 1 has a recess 25 between the opening 24a of the groove 23a of the comb 1 and the opening 24b of the groove 23b adjacent to the groove 23a (i.e., at the tip of the tooth 22). When passing hair through the grooves 23 of the comb 1, the recess 25 can accommodate a part of the hair on the surface side of the hair. The comb 1 may or may not have the recess 25.

[0038] The width L7 of the recess 25 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 10 mm, and more preferably 2 to 5 mm. The width L7 of the recess 25 is shorter than the distance between the opening 24a of one groove 23a and the opening 24b of the groove 23b adjacent to that groove 23a. The larger the width L7 of the recess 25, the more hair on the surface side of the head can be accommodated within the recess 25 without being inserted into the groove 23.

[0039] The depth L8 of the recess 25 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1 to 2 mm, and more preferably 0.5 to 1.5 mm. When the shape of the groove 23 is curved at the deep side of the groove 23 or when the groove 23 is branched at the deep side of the groove 23, the depth L8 of the recess 25 is set to a depth that does not penetrate into the groove 23 at the deep side.

[0040] By using the comb 1 of the present invention and passing hair through the grooves 23, the portion of the hair closest to the skin can be positioned closer to the surface than the portion of the hair closest to the surface. For example, if a user is wearing a wig or toupee, combing their hair using a conventional comb such as the second comb part 3 in FIG. 1 will prevent the wig or toupee hair from tangling with the user's natural hair. As a result, even if the color and brightness of the user's natural hair are similar to those of the wig or toupee hair, a third party looking at the user will easily be able to tell that the wig or toupee is placed on top of the user's natural hair.

[0041] On the other hand, when using comb 1 of the present invention to pass hair through grooves 23 of comb 1 (for example, when the hair is inserted into the grooves and the comb is moved from the side of the hair closest to the skin to the tip side of the hair), the part of the hair closest to the skin is positioned more on the surface side than the part of the hair on the surface side, in other words, part of the user's natural hair is positioned more on the surface side than the part of the hair that comes from the wig or toupee, and the natural hair and the hair from the wig or toupee become entangled. As a result, when a third party looks at the user, it can be difficult to tell that the user is wearing a wig or toupee.

[0042] Furthermore, when the color and brightness of natural hair and the color and brightness of hair created by a wig or toupee are clearly different, using the comb of the present invention can create a mesh-like appearance.

[0043] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the movement of hair when it is threaded through the grooves of a comb according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4(a) shows the state before the hair is threaded through the grooves 23 of the comb 1. The hair consists of hair 41 on the surface side and hair 42 on the scalp side. FIG. 4(b) shows the state after the hair has been threaded through the grooves 23 of the comb 1. A portion of the hair 41 on the surface side fits within the recess 25, while the other hair 41 on the surface side enters the grooves 23. At the same time, the scalp-side hair 42 that was on the scalp side of the hair 41 that entered the grooves 23 also enters the grooves 23. With the hair in the grooves 23, by moving the comb 1 from the natural hair side to the tip side of the hair, as shown in FIG. 4(c), a portion of the hair 42 that was on the scalp side before the hair was threaded through the grooves 23 of the comb 1 moves closer to the surface than the hair 41 that was on the surface side.

[0044] The user can move the comb 1 in the thickness direction from the natural hair side to the tip side of the hair multiple times with the hair in the grooves 23 at the same location on the hair, making it difficult for the user to tell that they are wearing a wig or toupee, or creating a state in which a mesh has been inserted. FIG. 5 is a photograph of the state of hair after combing using a conventional comb such as the second comb unit. FIG. 6 is a photograph of the state of hair after passing the hair through the grooves of a comb according to an embodiment of the present invention such as the first comb unit. FIG. 6 shows the state of hair after being combed multiple times using a conventional comb to achieve the state shown in FIG. 5, and then passing the hair through the grooves of the comb according to an embodiment of the present invention multiple times. As can be seen from a comparison of FIGS. 5 and 6, the hair in FIG. 6 appears to have a mesh inserted into it.

[0045] By repeatedly moving the comb 1 in the thickness direction on the same part of the hair with the hair in the grooves 23, the user can move a portion of the hair 42 that was on the scalp side before passing the hair through the grooves 23 of the comb 1 toward the surface side relative to the hair 41 that was on the surface side. Therefore, since the hair 41 that is usually on the surface side can be moved toward the scalp side, it is possible to avoid a situation where the same hair is constantly exposed to UV rays. In this way, by using the comb according to the embodiment of the present invention, damage to the hair caused by UV rays can be reduced.
