The device combines the detangling capability of a comb or brush with the ability to massage lotions and other hair treatments into the hair follicles and through the entire length of each hair strand. A two-jaw clamping or clamshell design is provided with an interchangeable brush or comb element attached to one of the jaws and a pair of soft rollers extending from the other jaw element. The two jaws are detachable from one another in order to permit the user to operate the comb or brush portion separate from the rollers. When fully assembled, the comb or brush protrudes through the pair of rollers when the jaws of the device are clamped together. There may be an additional mechanism within the device to provide internal vibrations in the housing to propagate through the entire device and into the user's hair in order to aid in the detangling, smoothing and treatment application processes. One or more additional versions may also include vibrating or oscillating rows of bristles in the brush or comb element. Another embodiment provides a combination motor and offset weight on the end of the upper jaw assembly. In another form, the upper housing and jaw assembly are separable from the lower jaw assembly and housing, so as to provide a vibrating comb/brush without the need to use the rollers on the lower jaw assembly.

This invention is directed toward a compact, multifunctional tool and a method of making the compact, multifunctional tool. The embodiments disclosed include a comb and a variety of additional tools including a screwdriver, a wrench, a chip clip, a bottle opener, a retention device for storing headbands, elastics, ear buds, and the like, and a stand for propping up a mobile phone, tablet, book, magazine, and the like. The compact, multifunctional tool is preferably made of a monolithic, substantially flat body having cutouts or contours. The overall size of the compact, multifunctional tool, in a preferred embodiment, is less than the size of a standard credit card. This small size allows users to easily transport the tool in their wallet or pocket. By combining so many tools, each performing a different task, into a monolithic flat, compact body, this invention allows users to carry one small device that enables them to perform a wide variety of functions.

A comb for a hair-care appliance that is configured to supply a heated airflow. The comb includes a housing defining an inlet for receiving an airflow from the hair care appliance, and first and second longitudinally extending and transversely spaced-apart outlets that are in fluid communication with the inlet. The comb further includes a tooth structure mounted to the housing, the tooth structure comprising a row of comb teeth spaced along a longitudinal axis, the row of comb teeth interposed between the first and second longitudinally extending outlets. The comb further includes a flow director movably mounted to the housing so as to be moveable between a first position in which the flow director directs airflow from the inlet to the first outlet, and a second position in which the flow director directs airflow from the inlet to the second outlet.

An atomizing comb comprises a main body internally provided with a channel for passing mist; comb teeth connected to the main body; and a box removably connected to an outside of the main body and comprising a bottle and an atomizing device. In the present invention, the active ingredients in the care solution effectively penetrates into the scalp, hair roots and hair tips, with particles of 5 to 10 micron in size. Finer particles will form more uniform adhesion and deeper penetration, leading to faster effectiveness. Through combing the hair with the comb teeth, the hair is fully dispersed to create spaces, so that the tiny droplets penetrate into the hair through the comb teeth, and the active ingredients in the care solution are fully and evenly transferred from the patient's scalp and hair roots to the hair tips, solving problems of the scalp, hair follicles, hair roots and hair.
