4 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures US. Patent Sept. 30,1975
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Combs and brushes have long been used for separating, adjusting and generally arranging hair. Grooming or conditioning materials such as oils, pastes and the like have also been used. The normal technique for grooming or conditioning the hair is torub the material into the hair with the fingers, afterwhieh the hair is combedor brushed. In the present invention the hair is automatically groomed or conditioned during the combing or brushing operation without the necessity of applying grooming or conditioning material and the like beforehand.
The prior art discloses a number -of comb or brushlike devices associated with cleaning means for removing lint and other particles from the hair. There having also been disclosed in prior art comb or brush-like devices having oil reservoirs associated with the devices for depositing grooming material in the hair during the combing operation. In general, these devices are considered' cumbersome and/or sticky, do not apply the material to the hair shaft uniformly and tend to plug.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a simple and more efficient means for conditioning or grooming and arranging the hair than heretofore available free from the problems generally referred to above.
Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a device which will both arrange and groom or condition the hair inone operation. As used hereafter, the term conditioning will include grooming and/or conditioning and the use of materials such as grooming, perfuming and/or dressing aids, conditioners for the purpose of softening, strengthening and- /or medieinally curing hair, hair dyesand the like.
Another :object of the present invention is to provide a conditioning device having a main body support member and a plurality of generally depending elements associated with conditioning material.-
Anothcr object of theprcsent invention is to provide a hair conditioning device associated with conditioning material which can be used repeatedly to condition and arrange the hair. L Y
Another object of the present invention is to provide a hair conditioning device associated with conditioning is to provide material in substantially solid form, which material is at leastpartially fluidized when in contact with water.
Other objects of this invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a device or comb I0 having a supporting member 12 and a plurality of generally depending elements or teeth 14. Towards the upper portion 'of'the' depending teeth 14 is a stratum 16 of conditioning material 18. The width of the stratum of conditioning material l8-which can be seen more clearly in FIG. 2 extends from the supporting member 12 along the depending teeth to a line or lower stratum border 19 located anywhere between the supporting member'l2 and the ends of the depending teeth 14 of the comb 10.
FIG. 3 illustrates an alternate embodiment of the present invention wherein the device is substantially in the form of a brush 20 having a supporting member 22 with a plurality of depending teeth or bristles 24. Between'the supporting member 22 andthe ends, of the depending bristles 24 is a stratum or layer 26 of conditioning material. As shown in FIG. 3 the layer of conditioning material fills the Space 28 between the bottom of the supporting member 22 to a level between said member and the ends of the bristles 24. However, it is obvious only portions of the space 28 need be filled with conditioning material and the shape of the conditioning material may even take various forms, for example parallel rows of conditioning material as opposed to a solid layer of material.
In operation, the comb or brush is moisturized by dipping it in water or immersing it in water flowing from a valve or faucet. The moisturization tends to partially dissolve or fluidize the outer portion of the straturn of conditioning material such that when the comb or brush is moved through the hair, conditioning mate- -rial will be uniformly deposited on the hair shafts.
The conditioning material on the comb or brush is in substantially solid form. In addition, the conditioning material should be soluble to some extent or at least affected in a short period of contact with water to fluidize the material sufficiently so that it will uniformly coat or be applied uniformly to the hair shafts during the combing or brushing operation. On the other hand, the conditioning material should not be so affected or solu ble upon a short period of contact with water such that a significant amount of the material is lost or dissolved in the water prior to the combing 'orbrushing.
For practical purposes, the short period of time referred to above means less than five seconds. Furthermore, the depth of the stratum fluidized in contact with water for periods of time of 3 seconds and less should not e'xceed'ZO thousandths of an inch nor should it be less than one thousandth. Furthermore, if tests are run according to the procedure of Example III, the loss of conditioningmaterial should not exceed 40% by weight nor be less than 571 by weight. Although the test described in Example III is, of course, more rigorous than would be encountered during normal usage, it is a fair measure of performance. In addition, the conditioning material forming the core or unfluidized portion of the stratum should not be too soft or else most of the conditioning material will be pulled from the comb or brush after one or two strokes through the hair resulting in nonuniform messy deposits of the material in the hair. It is recommended that the stratum of conditioning material have a Shore D hardness of 30 or higher. In addition, the conditioning material making up the stratum should be sufficiently tough or elastic such that portions or pieces of the stratum will not be breaking off during normal usage.
The amount of conditioning material making up the stratum will vary depending on the size and type of device to be used. Normally, the width of the stratum will not exceed about one-half the length of the depending elements for satisfactory combing or brushing and should be more than one-twentieththe length of the depending elements for adequate repeated use.
The following examples are given to further illustrate the invention and are not intended as limitations thereof, and unless otherwise specified, quantities are mentioned on a volume basis.
EXAMPLE I Ten parts of glycerine, parts of propylene glycol and 35 parts of keratin protein are added to 45 partsof water in a small tray. The particular keratin protein used is a soluble one produced by Cudahy Laboratories having approximately 12.0% by weight ofnitrogen, 6.06% by weight of sulfur, 2.2% by weight free amino acids and 2.2% by weight volatiles, mainly moisture. The keratin protein also contains about 40to 45% by weight of di-, triand tetra-peptides having molecular weights in the order of 10,000.
After the above solution is mixed, aplastic comb (e.g. polystyrene having a Standinger molecular weight of about 55,000) which is approximately inches long having depending teeth approximately linch long is dipped teeth down into the solution up to about the lower edge of the supporting member 12 as shownin FIG. 1 of the drawings. The cornb is turned over and clamped such that the teeth point upwardly thereby allowing the solution to drain down along the teeth to form a stratum such as shown in FIG. 1. The comb stratum is allowed to dry in this position for 2 days at room temperature or until substantially dry, after which the comb is wetted and immediately used to combthe hair of a human head. It is found that the grooming material was substantially uniformly applied during the combing process.
EXAMPLE II EXAMPLE III A comb is prepared in accordance with the procedure of Example I except that the comb is weighed be fore being dipped and also after it has been dried for 2 days. After the comb is dried, the upper end or support member is clamped in a holder and the teeth are fully I immersed in a water tank at least 12 inches long and about 6 inches wide. The comb is then moved broadsidely through the 12 inches of water at a rate of 1 inch- /second and immediately withdrawn.
The specimen is then dried for 2 days at approxia hair dye (e.g. henna) or the like, or a hair conditioner such as lanolin esters, natural food extracts and the like. as long as the ingredients selected are compatible with any other admixed ingredients and can form stratums alone or in admixtures.
It is not essential that all of the ingredients in the conditioning material be soluble or affected by water contact. For example, certain of the ingredients which are fluidized incontact with water may serve as vehicles for other ingredients which are not so affected.
The range of vehicles which may be used as carriers for conditioning aids is quite broad. On the other hand to:effectively carry out the objects of the invention, the particular vehicle must meet several requirements. First, the vehicle in combination with its conditioning aids should be sufficiently solid to retain its shape at normal atmospheric pressure on the comb or brush through the range of climatic temperatures normally encountered through the four seasons or at least from about 50 to about F. In fact, this temperature range is applicable broadly with respect to the stratum whether a vehicle is employed or not. Secondly, the vehicle must be compatible with the particular conditioning aid or aids which are to be used, either miscible or dispersible as the case may be without significantly adversely affecting the effectiveness of the conditioning aid. Finally, the vehicle in combination with the conditioning aid must be sufficiently fluidizable after a short period of contact with water to uniformly coat or uniformly apply conditioning aids to the hair shafts without substantial loss of such materials in the water.
As indicated above, various types of vehicles may be used as long as they meet the requirements described herein. Vehicles made up of gelatin, water and a plasticizer such as glycerin have been found to be effective to carry'conditioning materials.
The supporting member and the depending elements may be made from any of the conventionally known materials such as plastic, vulcanized rubber, metal or wood.
While there has been shown and described a preferred embodiment of the present invention it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various arrangements and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
The invention claimed is:
l.
