Hair Comb With Slashed Teeth Columns And Wide Vacant Areas
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional hair combs often cause high resistance and risk of tangling or tearing due to densely arranged comb teeth with small gaps, leading to unsmooth combing operations.
Innovation Solution
A hair comb with a slab-shaped main body featuring parallel slashed-shaped teeth implant areas and serial teeth columns aligned in a slash-shaped direction, accompanied by a vacant area wider than the distance between teeth columns, reducing resistance and improving smoothness during combing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If comb teeth are arranged densely with small gaps, then hair attachment effect is improved, but combing resistance increases and hair may be torn
Solution Approach 1:
The comb teeth are divided into multiple serial parallel columns (at least two columns) implanted in parallel slashed-shaped teeth implant areas. This segmentation allows hair to be combed through multiple staggered rows of teeth, improving attachment while the slashed shape and spacing reduce resistance and prevent tangling.
Solution Approach 2:
The comb teeth are arranged in a slash-shaped direction rather than traditional transverse or longitudinal patterns. This dimensional change in tooth arrangement creates a diagonal combing action that reduces resistance and prevents hair from getting caught in gaps, while maintaining effective hair attachment.
2Ease of operation
If gap between comb teeth is increased to reduce resistance, then combing smoothness is improved, but hair attachment effect deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple serial parallel teeth columns are combined in a single comb structure, with each column contributing to hair attachment. The combination of multiple columns with moderate spacing provides both effective hair gripping and reduced resistance, resolving the contradiction between attachment and smoothness.
Solution Approach 2:
The comb features localized dense tooth arrangement in parallel columns for effective hair attachment, while maintaining larger spacing between columns and using slashed shapes to reduce resistance. Different regions of the comb serve different functions: tooth columns for attachment, vacant areas for reducing resistance.
3Ease of manufacture
If comb teeth are arranged in traditional transverse and longitudinal positions, then manufacturing is simple, but combing resistance is large and operation is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The comb teeth are arranged in a slash-shaped (diagonal) direction rather than straight transverse or longitudinal lines. This curved or angled arrangement reduces the resistance encountered during combing by aligning the teeth with the natural direction of hair flow, making operation smoother while remaining manufacturable.

AI summary
Disclosed is a hair comb capable of reducing the resistance and improving the smoothness of combing hair, and the hair comb includes a slab-shaped main body, a plurality of parallel slash-shaped teeth implant areas disposed on a surface of the main body, a plurality of serial comb teeth sequentially implanted in the teeth implant areas and disposed opposite to the slash-shaped teeth implant areas respectively, a vacant area without any implanted tooth and disposed on a surface of the main body and the width of the vacant area falling between the serial comb teeth is greater than the distance between two adjacent comb teeth to achieve the effects of reducing the resistance of combining hair by the hair comb and the occurrence of tangled hair and providing a smooth combing operation.
