COMB
Filed Feb. 11, 1933 Patented Jan. 22, 1935 COMB Paul Compan, Hollywood, Calif. I 2 Application February 11, 1933, Serial No. 656,222 i I '6 Claims. (o1. 1s2 -1 1-) This invention relates to a comb, and more particularly to .a comb :used in setting finger waves in the art of hairdressing.
Henetofore combs used in setting finger waves in the :art of hair dressing have customarily been the ordinary combs found on the market and certain objectionable features have been found in the use of such combs, that is to say, heretofore a portion only, preferably about an inch or two from one end of the comb has been used, and in many instances the teeth of the comb not actually being used in setting the finger wave will engage the hair which has been previously set and destroy the accomplishment of the operator, and in attempting to avoid the teeth of the comb that are not being used from engaging the hair already set, the operator has a tendency to tilt the comb so that one end thereof many times digs in to the scalp of the person whose hair is being dressed; and an object of this invention is to provide a new and novel comb useful for setting finger waves in the art of hair dressing, and which comb will avoid the foregoing objectionable features.
An object of this invention is to provide a new and novel comb for setting finger waves in the art of hair dressing and which comb will be simple and inexpensive to manufacture and afford great comfort and ease in the use thereof.
Other objects, advantages and features of invention may appear from the accompanying drawing, the subjoined detailed specification and the appended claims.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention in some of the forms I at present deem preferable.
Figure 1 is a side elevation view of a preferred embodiment of a comb constructed in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 shows in side elevation a modified form of a comb constructed in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 3 shows in side elevation another modified form of a comb constructed in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 4 is an end elevation of said combs as viewed from the right looking toward the left.
My invention comprises a comb A having a body 1 provided with a plurality of teeth 2, 2 at each end thereof, and which teeth 2, 2 extend from the same side of body 1 and are arranged at each end of the comb A in longitudinal rows of a predetermined length along said body. The teeth 2, 2' may extend from the tips to the roots thereof any suitable distance that may be predetermined by the manufacturer, and be either fine v :as shown :at 2 or coarse as shown at 2 or all fine or all coarse as desired.
-- The back 13 of the comb is preferably substan- 'tially straight .orsubstantially in :a straight line that extends in the same plane so that when in use the back thereof will afford to the operator the greatest ease and comfort in the use of the comb as well as to serve as an aid or guide to hold the comb correctly while setting a finger wave.
In the preferred form shown in Figure 1 the tips of the teeth 2 and 2 are arranged so that they extend at an angle to the substantially straight back 3 thereof and so that such angle increases from the end of the comb toward the center thereof. It will be seen from the drawing that the teeth 2 and 2 extend from the end of the comb toward the center of the comb for a distance approximately equal to one-third of the length of said comb and that intermediate the teeth 2 and 2' or at the center of the comb there is provided a portion 4 that is devoid of teeth and which portion 4 is approximately equal to onethird the length of the comb, this construction has been found to provide a requisite number of teeth to enable the operator to use my comb in setting finger waves without likelihood of the balance of the comb engaging the hair already set and distorting the same. The underside or lower edge of portion 4 as shown in Fig. 1 is provided with curved surfaces or portions 5, 5' that are adapted to serve as finger grips to aid in firmer grasping of the comb by the operator. A thickened portion 6 is provided at the center of the comb to form the curved portions 5, 5 as well as to increase the rigidity of the comb.
In Fig. 2 the portion 4 may be constructed as shown that is, with the portion 4' being shown as a recess in the comb so that the lower edge thereof will be recessed or offset from the tips of the teeth 2, 2.
In Fig. 3, the portion 4" is shown as being solid but such portion of the comb is devoid of teeth so that when the comb is in use such portion is prevented from engaging or disturbing the hair which has previously been set with a finger wave by the operator.
I claim:
1. A comb having a body extending in a longitudinal plane, teeth extending from and longitudinally along the same side of said body; and said body having a central portion, the lower edge of which is recessed from the tips of said teeth and provided with finger gripping surfaces.
2. A comb having a body extending in a longitudinal plane, teeth extending from and longitudinally along the same side of said body; and said body having a central portion, the lower edge of which is offset from the tips of the said teeth and provided with curved portions providing finger gripping surfaces.
3. A comb having a body, teeth extending from and longitudinally along said body from each end thereof for a distance approximately one-third the length of said body; said body being provided with a substantially straight; back, and said teeth being arranged so that a line drawn through the tips of said teeth will form an acute angle relative to said back; and the central third portion of said comb being devoid of teeth.
4. A comb having a body provided with a substantially straight back, teeth extending at an angle from said back and longitudinally along said body from each end thereof, said teeth being arranged relative to said body so that an angle between the back of the comb and a line drawn through the tips of each group of teeth is'an acute angle.
5. A comb having a body extending in a substantially longitudinal plane and provided with a substantially straight back; teeth extending from, and on the same side of, and longitudinally along said body from each end thereof; said body having a central portion devoid of teeth; said teeth being arranged so that a line drawn through the tips of said teeth will form an acute angle relative to said back; and the central portion of said body devoid of teeth, being provided with curved portions providing finger gripping surfaces.
6. A comb having a body extending in a substantially longitudinal plane and provided with a substantially straight back; teeth extending from, and on the same side of, and longitudinally along said body from each end thereof; said body having a central portion devoid of teeth; said teeth being arranged so that a line drawn through the tips of said teeth will form an acute angle relative to said back; and the central portion of said body devoid of teeth, being provided with curved portions providing finger gripping surfaces, said central portion being thicker intermediate its ends than at the portions adjacent said teeth to aid in forming said finger gripping surfaces.
