HAIR COMB BODY INCLUDING MEASURING AND LEVELING FUNCTIONS

Abstract

A hair comb body physically associated with hair comb teeth having an electronic-based level that determines the angle of orientation of the associated hair comb teeth and a plurality of lightsvisible from at least the front or back face of the bodythat indicate the angle of orientation of the associated comb teeth as measured by the electronic-based level, wherein the electronic-based level can be selectively locked to a desired angle, such that the level selectively provides a human-perceivable indication (e.g. audible and/or visual) when the comb teeth are oriented at the desired angle, thus, simplifying the provision of a consistent haircut. A method of cutting hair using the hair comb body is also disclosed.

Claims

1. A hair comb body physically associated with hair comb teeth, the hair comb body comprising: a front face; a back face; an electronic-based level that determines the angle of orientation of the associated hair comb teeth; and a plurality of lights visible from at least one of the front face and the back face of the hair comb body, wherein the plurality of lights together provide an indication of the angle of orientation of the associated hair comb teeth as measured by the electronic-based level, wherein the electronic-based level can be selectively locked to a desired angle, such that the electronic-based level selectively provides a human-perceivable indication when the hair comb teeth are oriented at the desired angle.

2. The hair comb body of claim 1 wherein the human-perceivable indication is audible, the hair comb body further comprising an audio speaker.

3. The hair comb body of claim 1 further comprising a switch that upon activation selectively locks the electronic-based level to the desired angle.

4. The hair comb body of claim 1 wherein the hair comb body can be adapted to accommodate any type of hair comb teeth.

5. The hair comb body of claim 1 further comprising: a means for measuring a length of hair passing through the associated comb teeth; and an electronic-based display for displaying the length of hair.

6. A method of cutting hair comprising: bringing a hair comb body near hair, the hair comb body comprising an electronic-based level that determines the angle of orientation of associated hair comb teeth, wherein the electronic-based level can be selectively locked to a desired angle, such that the electronic-based level selectively provides a human-perceivable indication when the hair comb teeth are oriented at the desired angle; adjusting the hair comb body to the desired angle; locking the electronic-based level at the desired angle; adjusting the hair comb body on the hair until the electronic-based level provides the human-perceivable indication; and cutting the hair along the comb in accordance with the desired angle.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising cutting the hair on the other side of the head by flipping the hair comb body over and adjusting until the electronic-based level provides the human-perceivable indication.

8. The method of claim 3 wherein the hair comb body further comprises a plurality of lights visible through at least one of the front face and the back face of the hair comb body, wherein the plurality of lights together provide an indication of the angle of orientation of the associated hair comb teeth as measured by the electronic-based level, the method further comprising: providing a visual cue as to the angle of the associated hair comb teeth along the associated hair.

Description

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the comb is approximately 71.25 and can use any of a varied number of tooth patterns. The bar may be removable from the comb so as to enable the comb to be separately disinfected and the bar to be separately cleaned, as needed.

[0014] The following engineering documents, code, drawings, etc., of the device further illustrate various embodiments of the invention. It is understood that various embodiments of the disclosed subject matter may be derived based on the disclosure provided herein.
