Retractable Tail Comb- Pop Comb

Abstract

The present invention is a tail comb that features a retractable tail and a toggle on the spine, allowing one-handed operation. The retractable tail allows for easier hair manipulation and can be securely stored inside the handle when not in use. This enables easy storage and transportation, making it ideal for use at home or on the go, and eliminating the need for a separate storage compartment or case. By extending the tail, the toggle is pushed to the bottom of the spine, enabling easier sectioning and parting of the hair. When the toggle slides to the top, the tail retracts and safely stores inside the handle, preventing injuries, tangles, or breakage of the comb. The toggle mechanism is user-friendly and suitable for professional hairstylists and everyday users. The patent application aims to protect the inventor's intellectual property and restrict unauthorized production, use, or sale of a similar tail comb.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present application relates to a tail comb hairstyling tool with a retractable tail that can be easily extended or retracted using a toggle that slides vertically on the spine of the comb.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] A traditional tail comb is a hairstyling tool that is used to create precise partings and sections in the hair. It typically consists of a long, narrow handle with a pointed tail at one end and a row of teeth on the other end. However, the traditional tail comb has limitations in terms of its safety, functionality, and convenience. For example, the tail can be easily broken off during use or when transporting. The tail can also get in the way while in use, get tangled in the hair, and can cause injuries to the user or their clients. Therefore, there is a need for an improved tail comb that addresses these common issues.SUMMARY

[0003] By providing a tail comb with a retractable tail, the limitations of traditional tail combs will be addressed in terms of safety, functionality, and convenience by reducing the risk of tool breakage, hair tangling, and injury during use or transport.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0004] In the following detailed portion of the present description, the teachings of the present application will be explained in more detail with reference to the example embodiments shown in the drawings, in which:

[0005] FIG. 1 is an isometric view according to a first embodiment.

[0006] FIG. 2 is an isometric view according to a second embodiment.

[0007] FIG. 3 is an isometric view according to a third embodiment.

[0008] FIG. 4 is an isometric view according to a fourth embodiment.

[0009] FIG. 5 is an isometric view according to a fifth embodiment.

[0010] FIG. 6 is an isometric view according to a sixth embodiment.DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] The present invention is a tail comb that combines the functionality of a traditional tail comb with the convenience of a retractable tail and a toggle on the spine. The comb is composed of several key components, including a spine, a row of teeth or comb bristles, a retractable tail, a sliding toggle positioned on the spine, and a secure latch lock mechanism. Within the spine lies a hollow chamber that serves as the housing for the retractable tail, allowing it to seamlessly retract and extend as needed. This retractable tail (FIG. 4) positioned opposite the comb bristles (FIG. 1), can be effortlessly maneuvered using the sliding toggle mechanism. With the use of a sliding toggle (FIG. 5), the tail is designed to slide in and out of the hollow chamber (FIG. 3) located inside of the spine (FIG. 2) and can be locked in place using a mechanism such as a spring-loaded button, a twist-lock, or a latch lock (FIG. 6). When the retractable tail is extended, it surpasses the length of the comb's teeth, acting as an extension of the handle. This unique feature facilitates effortless parting and manipulation of the hair, enhancing user experience and versatility during the styling process.
