A pet grooming tool includes a tool body extending longitudinally and having a transverse insert slot and a latch displacing space communicated with the insert slot, a latch member displaceable in the latch displacing space to insert a latch portion into the insert slot in a latch position so as to retain an insert plate portion of a comb plate in the insert slot, and to retreat into the latch displacing space in an unlatch position so as to permit removal of the comb plate from the tool body for replacement.

The present invention comprises systems and methods for using a specialized styling device, such as a smart hairbrush, smart comb, or accessories, which allow for the collection of data from the devices, and for users to interact over a wireless network. The devices may including a wireless radio frequency modem connected to the internet and a battery to power components, including lights, speakers, cameras, microphones, and sensors. A smart brush may allow for computations through processors, memory, system-on-a-chip, applications, batteries, operating systems, and wired or wireless communication interfaces. It is also possible for the smart brush to connect with other electronic devices, including phones, tablets, and cameras in order to share electrical power and communicate over one or more interfaces. A smart brush may operate as an independent mobile device or within a smart home or other system with multiple computing devices, appliances, and sensors connected together within a network.

A brush device for animals without an actuator connected to the brush device, which is intended for fixed installation in the construction of an animal shed for animals to use independently, including a base for fastening the brush device to a wall, a column or some other structure, a pendulum frame diverging from the base made such that it extends out of the base and to it is fastened a bristle section against which animals rub up. Between the base and the pendulum frame diverging from it, there is a joint which enables the pendulum-like rotational motion of a brush section around a rotation axis.

An apparatus for cleaning animals useful for simultaneously brushing and applying a fluid to a pet's coat. The device is a brush shaped like a cone with rounded contours having metal bristles with rounded tips. In addition to the bristles, the brush includes fluid conduits which run parallel to the bristles. The conduits are attached to a fluid reservoir housed in the body of the brush or in a handle attached to the brush. In some embodiments, the fluid may be contained in a cartridge. A button may be included to selectively dispense the fluid, through use of a manual pump or an electric motor. A disposable pad may be attached to the exterior of the brush, allowing the metal bristles to pass through the pad. The pad may attach using hook-and-loop fasteners or some other type of adhesive. The device is particularly useful for cleaning dogs.

A method of damaging a parasite while being a resident in or on a surface of a body of a mammal. The method comprises irradiating the parasite with ultrasound radiation at a frequency of from about 1 MHz to about 2.6 MHz for a period of at last one second.

A structure of pet comb comprises a case body, an outer lid for covering the placement part, an electric circuit board, an atomizer, a liquid container and a hair comb combined onto the bottom plane of the case body, wherein one end of the case body has an accommodation space, while the other end thereof has a placement part configured with an opening thereon; the liquid container includes at least a liquid and a sponge in contact with the liquid; and the atomizer can contact the sponge held in the liquid container such that, by means of the operation of the atomizer, the liquid on the sponge can be sprayed out through the openings of the accommodation part. Therefore, upon combing a pet's hairs by using the structure of pet comb according to the present invention, with the liquid atomization in the atomizer, it is possible to comb the pet and, at the same time, apply the atomized liquid onto the skin surface of the pet thereby increasing the effect of the liquid.

A self-cleaning brush assembly for grooming and cleaning pets has a main body and a pair of contoured handle portions depending therefrom. The main body has a plurality of bristles that extend through a scrub pad and a cleaning element. The scrub pad and the cleaning element both have a plurality of openings that are configured to receive the plurality of bristles. The brush assembly is also self-cleaning and capable of removing pet hair from the bristles. As the brush assembly is lifted off the pet, the resilient cleaning element flexes away from the main body, moving the scrub pad with it over the bristles. The movement of the scrub pad functions to clean the bristles and deposit the entrained pet hair onto the outer surface of the scrub pad.

A pet grooming tool has a pet engageable portion and a handle portion. The pet engageable portion has a first section of a first brush characteristic and a second section of second brush characteristics different from the first brush characteristic. The handle portion is secured to the pet engageable portion sized for grasping by a human hand. A fur removal mechanism removes fur from the pet engageable portion.

A combined brush and comb contains a body, a fixing cushion, multiple bristle sets, and multiple spherical needles. The fixing cushion is disposed on the body and includes multiple receiving notches and multiple through orifices. A respective one receiving notch includes an opening defined on a top thereof, and the respective one receiving notch includes a bottom face formed on a bottom thereof. A diameter of the respective one receiving notch increases from the opening to the bottom face. The multiple bristle sets are fixed in the multiple receiving notches. The multiple spherical needles are mounted in the multiple through orifices. A respective one spherical needle includes an inverted H-shaped base, and the inverted H-shaped base has a first engagement section, a second engagement extension parallel to and spaced from the first engagement extension, and a trench defined between the first engagement extension and the second engagement extension.
