The present invention may comprise a grooming and dematting tool with a housing, a plurality of tines extending outward from the housing, each tine linked with a linkage arm, each linkage arm independently activated by a crankshaft to urge the distal ends of each tine back and forth, up, and down, or in other translational or extending movement pattern. The tines urge hair or fur of a pet to untangle or remove knots, snags, matting, and imperfections in the coat, while optionally cooperating with scissoring cutting blades to cut hair from the coat of the pet.

By removing burrs of the pin of the card clothing used in the slicker brush, and by giving a rounded distal ends, the feeling of use and safety of the slicker brush are improved, and removal of hair after use is facilitated. The method includes: a first process of implanting a plurality of pins made of metal wire on a base clothing to produce a card clothing; and a second process of polishing each pin of the card clothing, using a polishing material having flexibility and elasticity, in which in the second process, polishing is performed by rubbing, while pressing the polishing material against each of the pins, thereby manufacturing a card clothing having a rounded distal ends with no burr.

A brush device for brushing an animal, in particular the back, head and/or tail of the animal, such as a cow, includes a rotatable brush, as well as an electric drive motor, which is configured to supply a drive torque for rotatably driving the brush in at least one rotation direction. The drive torque supplied by the drive motor is set in such a manner that the brush can be turned back by means of muscular power of the animal and/or an individual counter to the driven rotation direction while said drive torque is being supplied by the drive motor.

A grooming tool for removing dead, shed hair from the coat of an animal such as a dog, has a blade, and a handle affixed thereto, with the blade having two separate rows of teeth along opposite edges thereof. A kit for removing shed hair from an animal's coat contains two of these grooming tools which in turn have different degrees of teeth along the respective rows to accommodate stripping shed hair of different texture.

A pet comb generally includes a comb plate and a handle. The comb plate is provided with a plurality of comb strips at its front surface and a base portion at its rear surface. The handle is constructed of a spring element, which is attached with a connection portion and an enlarged main grip portion at two opposite ends thereof, and a covering, which has a concave neck portion formed integrally with the spring element, such that the enlarged main grip portion abuts on a rear end of the concave neck portion. The connection portion of the handle is fixedly attached to the base portion of the comb plate, such that the handle is at a predetermined angle to the comb plate. As such, the comb plate together with the comb strips can be easily operated by the handle to groom a pet.

A grooming device includes a plurality of flexible tines, each having a grooming element mounted to the distal end thereof. The tines are spaced from one another laterally and may be the same or different lengths. The grooming elements may be described as blades in which each have a planar body with a plurality of teeth or other features that enable grooming of an animal by contact with the teeth. The handle of the grooming device may be ergonomically configured to fit comfortably in a user's hand. The handle may have a plurality of indentations or grooves that enable the fingers to be comfortably placed in the indentations/grooves.

A pet hair removal apparatus has a plurality of engagement members. The apparatus operates in a plurality of different operational engagement position in which different engagement members contact the surface to remove pet hair from the surface depending on which operational engagement position the apparatus is positioned. The pet hair removal apparatus may be formed through a coextrusion process to form the resultant shape of the pet hair removal apparatus using multiple different materials to form the engagement members and a body thereof.

A pet hair removal apparatus has a plurality of engagement members. One of the engagement members is a squeegee that includes a textured surface. The textured surface extends transversely or laterally between first and second sides of the apparatus. The apparatus operates in a plurality of different operational engagement position in which different engagement members contact the surface to remove pet hair from the surface depending on which operational engagement position the apparatus is positioned. The pet hair removal apparatus may be formed through a coextrusion process to form the resultant shape of the pet hair removal apparatus using multiple different materials to form the engagement members and a body thereof.

A pet hair removal apparatus has a plurality of engagement members. The apparatus has a handle and connected base member. At the end of the handle is a pointed end defined by a pointed tip. The pointed end and pointed tip operates in an operational engagement position to remove pet hair from the surface of an inanimate object, such as a couch or other fabric. The pointed end removes hair or other debris that are in or near a crease or crevice of the fabric. This operational engagement position is one of a number of other operational engagement positions for the pet hair removal apparatus.

A pet hair removal apparatus has a plurality of engagement members. The apparatus operates in a plurality of different operational engagement position in which different engagement members contact the surface to remove pet hair from the surface depending on which operational engagement position the apparatus is positioned. In one operational engagement position, two or more engagement members, that are different types of engagement members, simultaneously contact the surface. In another operational engagement position, only one type of engagement member contacts the surface to remove pet hair from the surface.
