I j 1 1 I '1 HOT PICK COMB This invention relates to grooming accessories, more particularly to combs.
A principal object of the present invention is to provide a metal comb which, after heating, is used for unsnarling and styling afro hairdos, natural hairdos and the like.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a comb that is easy to use, attractive in appearance and rugged for long use under the conditions of repeated beatings and resistive hair snarls.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a comb that is designed to be unaltered in outward appearance and function when the comb base is provided with an electrical heating element, the only evidence then being an electric cord passing through the end of the handle.
These and other objects will be readily evident upon a study of the following specification and the accompanying drawing wherein the comb 10, according to the invention, comprises a multiplicity .of steel or brass tines ll, swaged or brazed into copper spacing support sleeves 12. Support sleeves 12 are mounted on one end of a copper or other metal body 13 having a handle base or socket 14 formed integral with the other end of body 13 approximately midway of the opposite sides of body 13.
A significant feature of the present invention resides in the relatively long axial lengths of the comb teeth or tines 1 1 and the relatively wide but equal spacing therebetween as opposed to the closely spaced, short teeth of conventional combs. The comb construction of the present invention permits smooth and easy insertion of the tines 11 in a generally horizontal direction deeply into the user's hair adjacent the scalp line without unduly pulling or tearing the hair. The comb 10 is then raised vertically with the tines l1 projecting horizontally to unsnarl any tangled or matted portions of hair without excessive pulling while imparting the desired lift and body thereto to form the afro type hair style. By inducing eat in the tines 11 via the heating element 20, the hair is left softer and more manageable and will retain its uplift for a longer period of time. As opposed to daily combings with conventional combs, it has been found that a weekly treatment of the hair with the comb of this invention is normally sufficient to maintain the desired hair body and bushiness necessary in the afro type hair style.
What I now claim is:
1. A comb comprising: a body member having opposite ends; a socket member formed integral with one end of said body member and projecting axially out-- wardly therefrom; an elongated handle having one end thereof mounted in said socket member; means releasably securing said handle in said socket member; a plurality of laterally spaced sleeves formed integral with the other end of said body member and projecting axially outwardly therefrom in a direction opposite to said handle; a plurality of tines rigidly secured within said sleeves, respectively, and extending outwardly therefrom in said opposite direction for a substantial distance to form a row of teeth, means mounted within said body member for heating said tines tofacilitate controlled hair styling.
2. A comb according to claim 1 wherein said heating means comprises an electrical heating element and means connecting said heating element to a source of electrical power.
3. A comb according to claim 1 wherein said releasable means comprises an elongated rod extending axially through said handle and threaded at the inner end thereof into said socket member, and a nut threaded on the other end of said rod preventing displacement of said handle from said socket member.
4. A comb according to claim 2 wherein said releasable means comprises an elongated rod extending axially through said handle and threaded at the inner end thereof into said socket member,'and a nut threaded on the other end of said rod preventing displacement of said handle from said socket member.

A comb comprising: a body member having opposite ends; a socket member formed integral with one end of said body member and pRojecting axially outwardly therefrom; an elongated handle having one end thereof mounted in said socket member; means releasably securing said handle in said socket member; a plurality of laterally spaced sleeves formed integral with the other end of said body member and projecting axially outwardly therefrom in a direction opposite to said handle; a plurality of tines rigidly secured within said sleeves, respectively, and extending outwardly therefrom in said opposite direction for a substantial distance to form a row of teeth, means mounted within said body member for heating said tines to facilitate controlled hair styling.
2. A comb according to claim 1 wherein said heating means comprises an electrical heating element and means connecting said heating element to a source of electrical power.
3.
