Designer comb

Abstract

Most methods of hair styling requires the use of gels, electric tools, or heavy and dangerous hot-irons. The invention I made alters the structure of the teeth in combs/brushes to create friction by adding edges (of various shapes and sizes) to the teeth to rob against the hair as the hair is being combed/brushed thus causing friction and creating heat. The heat created and the force of the friction of the Designer Comb straightens the hair for all hair types but for 3 b hair and kinkier it also flattens the hair so people with afros can simply comb up the sides of their hair to get a high-top hair style.

Claims

1. A comb comprising a plurality of elongated teeth extending generally in parallel to each lather, the plurality of elongated teeth being separated from each other, wherein each of the plurality of elongated teeth comprises on at least one side of the tooth a plurality of edges between outermost edges; and, wherein for each of the plurality of elongated teeth, the plurality of edges on the tooth between the outermost edges on at least one side of the tooth form at least one channel on the tooth extending along the length of the tooth.

2. The comb of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of teeth comprises a cross sectional geometry defined by the plurality of edges.

3. The comb of claim 1, wherein for each of the plurality of elongated teeth, the plurality of edges on the tooth between the outermost edges on at least one side of the tooth form a plurality of channels on the tooth extending along the length of the tooth.

4. The comb of claim 1, wherein the edges are rough edges.

5. The comb of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of teeth comprises at least three edges on the tooth between the outermost edges on at least one side of the tooth.

6. The comb of claim 2, wherein the cross-sectional geometry defined by the plurality of edges is saw-like.

7. The comb of claim 2, wherein the cross-sectional geometry defined by the plurality of edges is a star.

Description

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) FIG. 1 This drawing shows a close up on the teeth of the saw-like designer comb with two teeth having part of their caps removed to show the inner structure of the teeth and their edges.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE MANNER AND PROCESS OF MAKING AND USING THE INVENTION

(2) The invention can take many forms but one form that will be illustrated today is a comb with a saw-like teeth and a brush with teeth having shafts in the shape of stars will be used as an example of a possible alternative shape of the designer comb. Both can be used like a normal brush Or comb (its suggested to use the invention after the doing basic detangling as the edges may break knotted hair and for people with thin hair or hair that can easily fall out to not use the invention as the pulling on the hair may worsen their condition). With hair that is not wetter than damp simply brush or comb your hair in the desired direction a few times (3-5 times) and the heat will straighten and flatten that section of hair. This heat is generated by the edges of the saw-like comb that is displayed in FIGURE I. The side of the top of the comb's tooth was removed to better contrast the edges on the side to how they are formed in the inside of the saw-like tooth.

(3) The customer can then request to increase or decrease the number of edges, or even have a more wavy shape for certain hair styles (like the saw-comb mentioned earlier rising in a wavy fashion from the base of the tool).

(4) These combs can typically be made via: 3D printing the drawn model, lost-wax (the process used to make jewelry and toys), and potentially extruded and threaded for some forms like the star-like brush.
