Description

Deformable comb TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a comb, in particular to a deformable comb. BACKGROUND

[0002] A comb is a tool for grooming hair, which is mainly used for grooming and cleaning hair, and also can massage scalp, promote blood circulation, help hair growth and nourish hair. Common combs include flat structure of rib comb or round column comb, etc. The structure of a comb usually includes a comb back for supporting the whole comb, a plurality of comb teeth arranged at the lower part of the comb back, which are directly contacted with hair and used for combing hair. The comb teeth of the existing structure are generally fixed on the comb back and cannot be detached. Although this structure is relatively firm, the comb teeth cannot be replaced when broken. In addition, the existing comb only has a comb function and is not beautiful in appearance.

[0003] According to the search, the existing patent No. CN201020650199.X "A plug-in comb" includes auxiliary teeth, comb teeth and comb back in a split structure. The comb back has an end face on which the auxiliary teeth and the comb teeth are arranged. The comb back is provided with a plurality of polygonal recess groove holes corresponding to the number of the auxiliary teeth and the comb teeth on the end face. The roots of the auxiliary teeth and the comb teeth are respectively provided with protruding plugs corresponding to the polygonal recess groove holes on the end face of the comb back. The auxiliary teeth and the comb teeth are glued and connected in the corresponding polygonal recess groove holes on the end face of the comb back through the protruding plugs at the roots. The comb teeth are inserted on the comb back in a plug-in manner and then glued and fixed, which has the advantages of saving materials and low production cost. However, the comb teeth cannot be detached and the assembly needs to use glue, which is relatively troublesome.

[0004] SUMMARY

[0006] The technical scheme adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problems is as follows: a deformable comb includes a comb body, characterized in that the comb body is detachably assembled by a plurality of first comb pieces with comb teeth and a plurality of second comb pieces as comb back. The first comb pieces and the second comb pieces are cross-hooked and connected to form a grid-shaped structure which can be freely scaled and extended. When the first comb pieces and the second comb pieces are folded and contracted, the comb body presents a predetermined designed shape structure. When the first comb pieces and the second comb pieces are stretched to a use state, the comb body presents a multi-tooth comb structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the first comb piece is a flat sheet structure, and the first comb pieces are arranged in sequence to form a three-dimensional structure, among which the first comb piece located in the middle is the longest and the highest, and the other first comb pieces are arranged in pairs on both sides of the first comb piece in the middle, and the comb pieces at the outermost two ends are the shortest in length and the lowest in height. The lower end of the first comb piece is provided with a plurality of comb teeth, and the upper end of the first comb piece is recessed with several first buckle grooves at intervals; the lower end of the second comb piece is recessed with second buckle grooves that cooperate with the first buckle grooves to facilitate disassembly and assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, the first buckle groove is a strip groove, and a locking point is convexly provided on one side of the middle part of the strip groove. The structure of the second buckle groove is the same as that of the first buckle groove to improve the firmness after installation and prevent it from falling apart and affecting use.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of first buckle grooves are evenly spaced and recessed on the upper end of the first comb piece.

[0010] More preferably, the directions of the comb-bar locking points of at least two adjacent pieces are opposite to each other, so as to improve the stability of the cross-hooking connection.

[0011] More preferably, the shape and arrangement of the second comb blades are the same as those of the first comb blades.

[0012] Furthermore, the first comb pieces are in a flat elliptical structure, the first comb pieces are arranged in sequence to form an ellipsoid structure, and the other first comb pieces are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the middle first comb piece, so that the comb body presents the shape of a bionic hedgehog.

[0013] Furthermore, when the first comb piece and the second comb piece are folded and retracted, the first comb piece and the second comb piece are in an obliquely crossed state; when the first comb piece and the second comb piece are extended, the first comb piece and the second comb piece are in a vertically crossed state.

[0014] Furthermore, the first comb piece and the second comb piece are both made of plastic, and the comb teeth and the first comb piece are an integrated part, which is easy to produce and reduce costs.

[0015] Preferably, the number of the first comb blades is 9 to 11, and the number of the second comb blades is correspondingly 9 to 11.

[0016] Finally, the predetermined design shape structure adopts a rectangle, a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon with four or more sides.

[0017] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of the present invention are: it adopts a detachable sheet-like combination structure, in which the first and second comb blades are connected and assembled by interlocking and forming a grid-like structure that can be freely extended and retracted. The expansion and contraction of the overall structure can achieve different appearances, and the hedgehog-shaped ellipsoid is particularly novel and unique in appearance. The present invention has a simple and novel structure, an attractive appearance, and is easy to disassemble. The product can be held in one hand and can be freely extended and retracted between the palms. It can be used as a comb for combing hair or as a fashionable stress-relieving toy. It is also easy to carry and store. If the comb blades or teeth are broken, they can be replaced and reassembled, extending the service life and saving costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
