DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A precise understanding of a typical electric hair clipper and attachment comb and their compatibility is important to understanding the embodiments of the present invention. FIGS. 1-17 depict a typical hair clipper and attachment comb and do not represent the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 5, 6, and 7 the stationary blade 50 of the hair clipper 52 is shown. FIG. 1 shows the outer surface of the stationary blade 50 which is entirely visible when attached to the hair clipper 52. FIG. 5 shows the stationary blade 50 as attached to the hair clipper 52 and FIGS. 6 and 7 show the stationary blade 50 removed from the clipper 52 with the inner surface shown.

The stationary blade 50 is 1.8 inches wide and 1.5 inches from front to back.

The region of cutting teeth 54 at the front of the blade and a central support region 56 both curve toward the inner side of the blade. They are ground flat resulting in two raised flat plateaus 0.025 inches above the remainder of the stationary blade.

It is with these two raised regions that the reciprocating blade 58 is in contact, as shown in FIG. 5.

The rear region 60 is flat and extends to 0.5 inches from the rear edge of the stationary blade 50, at which point the central support region 56 begins to curve toward the inner side. It is by this rear region 60 that the blade 50 is secured to the hair clipper 52 by two bolts 62.

The stationary blade 50 is made from 0.075 inch thick steel, making for a blade 50 with an over all thickness of 0.1 inches from the top of the raised regions 54 and 56 to the bottom, outer surface, of rear region 60. The leading edge along the region of cutting teeth 54 is tapered to 0.025 inches and consists of a series of teeth with flat tips.

Referring to FIG. 8-17 the clipper guide comb 64 and its means of attachment to the blade 50 is now described. The guide comb is secured to the blade 50 by contact with its four edges and the outer surface of the rear region 60 as follows.

Once attached, the guide comb 64 is secured to the stationary blade 50 along its leading edge, the tapered edge of the region of cutting teeth 54, by a V shaped groove 66 in the series of comb teeth 67. The teeth 67 line up with the flat tips of the teeth which make up the leading edge along the region of cutting teeth 54.

The V shaped groove 66 terminates on each end in the groove abutments 68 which rise up to prevent the blade 50 from moving from side to side. The distance between the inside surfaces of the groove abutments 68 is 1.8 inches, corresponding to the width of the blade 50. The V shaped groove's position within the comb can be better understood by referring to FIG. 11 where a dotted line indicates the location of the V shaped Groove 66 in relation to the groove abutments 68. The V shaped groove 66 holds the tapered leading edge of the blade 50 with the upper surface of its raised region of cutting teeth 54 at 0.2 inches above the level of the comb's back 70.

At a distance of 0.5 inches from the rear edge of the comb back 70, two side abutments 72 abut the side edges of the blade 50. The distance between the side abutments 72 is also 1.8 inches corresponding to the width of the blade 50 and they prevent movement from side to side.

The rear edge of the blade 50 is secured by a latch 74. The distance between the latch 74 and the groove 66 is 1.5 inches corresponding to the length of blade 50 and preventing movement forward or backward.

A series of three protrusions 76 rise 0.1 inches and are located within the rear 0.5 inches of the comb back 70. The protrusions 76 abut the outer surface of the blade 50 along the flat rear region 60. In combination with the V shaped groove 66 and latch 74 these protrusions hold the comb's back 70 parallel to and 0.1 inches from the outer surface of the rear region 60 and 0.2 inches from the level of the upper surface of the region cutting teeth 54.

It is in this way that the comb 64 is secured to the blade 50 as shown in FIG. 9. The areas of contact being the V shaped groove 66 along the leading edge, the groove abutments 68 and side abutments 72 along the sides, the latch 74 along the rear edge, and the protrusions 76 contacting the rear region 60. FIG. 9 shows the stationary blade 50 removed from the hair clipper 52 to allow the method of attachment to be more clearly visible. The stationary blade 50 is not normally removed from the hair clipper 52.

The procedure for the attachment of the comb 64 to the hair clipper 52 is shown in FIGS. 2-4. The leading edge is placed in the V shaped groove 66 of the comb 64 as shown in FIG. 3 and the comb is rotated into place where the latch 74 secures the comb at the rear edge of the blade 50. FIG. 4 shows hair clipper 52 with comb attached 64 as it would be used by the operator in cutting along a horizontal surface. To remove the comb 64, the latch 74 is pulled back and the comb 64 is rotated away from the blade 50 and the leading edge of the blade 50 is removed from the V shaped groove 66.

In use, as shown in FIG. 4, the comb's teeth 67 which are flexible to some degree (the comb 64 is typically made of plastic) are supported by the comb back 70 and their engagement with the teeth of the stationary blade 50 along its leading edge at their points of contact at the vertex of the V shaped groove 66. In use it is common for one or more of the teeth 67 to slip off the metal teeth of the blade 50 with which they are making contact at the vertex of the V shaped groove 66 and to lose this support, bending to one side. This is because the teeth along the leading edge of the stationary blade 50 can only provide the series of narrow flat tips of its teeth for support with the series of gaps between them.

FIGS. 10-17 show the guide comb 64 from all angles, depicting just one comb size of the many sizes available in a kit. In use, as shown in FIG. 4, the comb back 70 is above and behind the V shaped groove 66 and the leading edge of the blade 50. The comb back 70 is 1 inch from its rear edge to its leading edge leaving 0.5 inches open between its leading edge and the vertex of the V shaped groove 66. This open area, most clearly shown in FIGS. 10 and 16, will be used by several embodiments of the present invention to be described later.

There are eight teeth 67 which rest on their longest side when in use as shown in FIG. 4. They hold the comb's back 70 and blade 50 at a thirty degree angle with the surface. Refer to the background of the invention for a list of the five advantages of the guide comb 64 over a traditional flat comb.

The first embodiment of the invention is a comb organizer 78 and is shown in FIGS. 20 and 21. The organizer 78 consists of four adjacent dummy blades 80 shown separately in FIGS. 18 and 19.

FIGS. 18 and 19 show the dummy blade 80 above the stationary blade 50 to which it partially conforms. The dummy blade 80 includes a thin rectangle 82 which is 0.025 inches thick, and 1.8 inches by 0.75 inches, overlapping and bonded to a thick rectangle 84 which is 0.075 inches thick, and 1.8 inches by 1.2 inches. The rectangles overlap by 0.45 inches resulting in a combined rectangle 1.8 inches by 1.5 inches, which conforms to those dimensions of the blade 50.

The thin leading edge is 0.025 inches higher than the thick rear edge which also conforms to those dimensions of the stationary blade 50. The underside of the thick rectangle 84 is flat for more than 0.5 inches from the rear edge providing a suitable surface for the abutments 76, just as the rear region 60 does of the stationary blade 50 as described earlier.

With these dimensions the dummy blade 80, made of a suitably rigid material, would be compatible with the guide comb 64. Additionally the leading edge of the dummy blade 80, being continuous, makes a superior engagement with the V shaped groove 66 to that made by the stationary blade 50, as it obviates the possibility of the teeth 67 slipping and losing support as described above.

FIGS. 20 and 21 show the first embodiment of the present invention, the comb organizer 78, which includes four dummy blades 80 spaced 0.5 inches apart and connected by bridges 82 which connect the sides of the dummy blades 80 together. The bridges 82, which are the interconnection between the dummy hair clipper heads, are 0.4 inches wide and extend from the rear edge of the thin rectangle 82 to 0.35 inches from the its leading edge. The bridge 82 does not interfere with the attachment of the comb 64 as the comb 64 is open along the sides between the groove abutments 68 and the side abutments 72.

FIG. 20 shows the comb 64 attached to one of the dummy blades 80. A second, smaller comb 84 which is not attached is also shown.

FIG. 21 shows four guide combs of different sizes attached to said comb organizer 78 which is attached to the lid 86 of a hair clipper kit box 88. The comb organizer 78 is attached to a spacer 89 which is in line with the bridges 82 and which holds the comb organizer 78 at 0.5 inches away from the lid. This is necessary so that the combs can be attached as the teeth 67 with the V shaped groove 66 extend around the leading edge of the blade, as does the latch 74 around the rear edge.

The comb organizer 78 could most easily be made in one piece integral with the lid of the box and its description here in parts is for clarity and to allow a precise understanding of the dimensions. Attached to the lid 86 of the clipper kit box 88, said organizer would provide a means of storing and organizing combs as quick and effective as their attachment to the stationary blade 50.

FIGS. 22-26 show the second embodiment of the invention which is the scissor comb 90. The scissor comb 90 includes a barber's scissor 92 with a single counter-sunk hole 94 drilled into one blade 1.5 inches from the tip. A screw 96 secures the scissor 92 to a dummy blade B 98. The dummy blade B 98 allows the attachment of the guide comb 64. The scissor comb 90 can then be pulled through hair and employed cutting the hair to a uniform thickness.

The dummy blade B 98 is shown from two angles in FIG. 22, from the side and in perspective. It is 1.8 inches wide, as is the stationary blade 50. It is 1.4 inches from its beveled leading edge to its rear edge, where the real stationary blade 50 is 1.5 inches. This shorter length is due to the novel means by which dummy blade B 98 engages the V shaped groove 66 which is indicated by dotted lines in FIG. 25. Rather than contacting the groove 66 at its vertex, as the stationary blade 50 does, it instead makes dual contact, an upper contact along its upper edge 100 with the upper portion of the groove and a lower contact along its lower edge 102 with the lower portion as shown. As both these edges are continuous, this makes a superior engagement with the V shaped groove 66 to that made by the real stationary blade 50, as it obviates the possibility of the teeth 67 slipping and losing support as described above.

In the case of the scissor comb 92, the primary reason dummy blade B 98 contacts the V shaped groove at edges 100 and 102 is precisely so that it can be shorter than the blade 50 and not extend as far forward into the V shaped groove 66. This is because it is important that the cutting blade of the scissor 92 be positioned ahead of the dummy blade B 98 as in the form shown said dummy blade B 98 represents an obstruction to the flow of hair. This novel means of dual engagement of the V shaped groove 66 is part of the razor comb of the present invention as well and has broad applications.

The dummy blade B 98 could alternatively engage the vertex of the V shaped groove with a leading edge consisting of a series of long teeth, as the stationary blade 50 does though with much longer teeth (this alternate form is considered obvious within the present invention and is not shown).

The dummy blade B 98 is 0.25 inches thick. The rear edge is reduced to 0.075 inches as shown, to be compatible with the comb's latch 74.

A groove 104 is carved into the upper surface of dummy blade B 98 at a 30 degree angle. In use the comb 64 hold the comb's back 70 and blade 50 at a 30 degree angle with the surface. This groove 104 is carved at 30 degrees so that the scissor 92 will be parallel to the surface. The groove 104 is also suitably above the upper edge 100 so that when attached the scissor 92 will have its cutting edge above the tops of the comb's teeth 67, as shown in FIG. 25.

The groove 104 is carved in a curve congruent to the back edge of the blade of the scissor 92. Once secured by the screw 96 the blade of the scissor 92 will be firmly connected to and held in place against the dummy head B 98.

Once assembled, the scissor comb 90 could be pulled through the hair and a series of cuts made with the scissor to achieve an overall cut of uniform length. Additionally, the comb 64 and dummy head B 98 would effectively guard the blade and make the scissor comb 90 much safer to use than a scissor alone.

The third embodiment of the present invention, the razor comb 106 is shown in FIGS. 27-30. Referring to FIG. 28 which is an exploded view of the four pieces of the razor comb 106 (other than the guide comb 64), the razor comb 106 consists of a handle 108, a top plate 110, a razor blade 112, and a base plate 114 which when fully assembled connect with the guide comb 64.

The razor 112 is held in position on the base plate 114 by two cylindrical protrusions 116 which are inserted into apertures 118 of said razor 112. The top plate 110 is then placed over the base plate 114 passing the threaded post 119 of the base plate 114 through the hole 122 of the top plate 110 and finally inserting the cylindrical protrusions 116 into corresponding cylindrical depressions (not shown) in the underside of the top plate 110. The handle 108, which has a threaded socket (not shown), is then threaded onto the post 119 and the four pieces are thereby secured together.

The top plate 110 and base plate 114 together constitute a dummy blade with dimensions identical to dummy blade B 98 with the exception of the presence of the threaded post 120 and the omission of the groove 104. The dummy blade of plates 110 and 114 engages the V shaped groove 66 in the same novel fashion as dummy blade B 98 (refer to FIG. 25). The purpose of doing so in this embodiment is to leave the remainder of the V shaped groove 66 open for the operative member, which is the razor blade 112, to occupy. As stated above, this novel engagement is superior to the engagement made by the real stationary blade 50 as the teeth 67 are in contact with a continuous surface. It should also be noted that this engagement is superior as it places the cutting edge ahead of the engaging structure so that the cutting edge is more fully exposed.

While the scissor comb 90 cuts entirely above the V shaped groove 66, the razor blade 112 of the razor comb 106 is near the vertex of the V shaped groove 66, in approximately the same location the cutting teeth of the clipper 52 would be.

As stated with the scissor comb 90 an alternate form (considered obvious within the present invention and lacking several advantages stated above) for the dummy clipper head of the razor comb 106 would be long teeth which would engage the vertex of the V shaped groove 66 as the blade 50 does, leaving the razor 112 exposed between said teeth (as the Custer U.S. Pat. No. 4,663,841 does).

Once assembled, the razor comb 106 could be pulled through the hair and the razor 112 would be both effectively guarded and the length of hair cut reliably, regulated by comb 64.

The remaining embodiments of the present invention all involve the use of a conduit dummy blade 120, shown in FIGS. 31-36. The conduit dummy blade 120 is designed to allow the use of a guide comb with a fluent material flowing through the opening between the teeth 67. This opening is as wide as the comb 64 and begins at the leading edge of the comb back 70 up through the V shaped groove 66, as described earlier and is most clearly shown in FIGS. 10 and 16.

The conduit dummy blade 120 is hollow with a length from the rear edge 122 to its leading edge 124 of 1.5 inches and a width of 1.8 inches. The leading edge 124 is 0.025 inches above the plane of the upper surface of the rear edge 122. The dummy rear edge 122 is 0.075 inches thick for compatibility with the latch 74 and the under side is flat for more than 0.5 inches from the dummy rear edge 122 providing a suitable surface for abutment by the protrusions 76. With these dimensions the conduit dummy blade 120 corresponds to the stationary blade 50 and is compatible with the comb 64. Additionally, as the leading edge 124 is continuous, a superior engagement with the V shaped groove 66 is made to the engagement made by the stationary blade 50 for the reasons discussed previously.

The front of the dummy conduit blade 120 is wedge shaped as shown in FIGS. 31-36, and with the leading edge 124 in contact with the vertex of the V shaped groove 66 this wedge fills said groove.

Referring to FIGS. 31-36 the underside of the conduit dummy blade 120 is parallel to and 0.1 inches from the comb back 70, from the rear edge 122 to 0.7 inches from the rear edge 122. The underside of the dummy conduit blade 120 then slopes down toward the comb back to converge with the comb back 70 at its leading edge, where the opening between the teeth 67 begins. The side walls of the conduit dummy blade 120 continue with their lower edges flush with the outermost teeth 67 until the leading edge is formed as described above. The opening located along the underside of said conduit dummy blade is thereby focused down through the openings between the teeth 67 and not out the sides or back of the comb 64.

FIG. 33 shows that the conduit dummy blade 120 is open on the underside from where it would meet the leading edge of the comb back 70 on up to the leading edge 124. FIG. 34 shows that the restricted conduit dummy blade 121 is closed except for 7 holes 126 along the lower incline of the wedge, which align with the lower portion of the V shaped groove 66 and the spaces between the eight teeth 67.

The upper surface of the conduit dummy blade 120 slopes up from near the rear edge 122 until it meets the wedge of the front of dummy conduit blade 120. Out of this inclined surface on the upper side of the conduit dummy blade 120 conical pipe 128 rises and expands to suitably terminate in conduit socket 130 threaded to accommodate a standard 1 inch lip of a plastic bottle or garden hose.

The fourth embodiment of the present invention is the connection of a plastic bottle 132 to the restricted flow conduit dummy blade 121 as shown in FIG. 35 to create the liquid dispensing comb 134. The restricted conduit dummy blade 121 is screwed onto an upright bottle 132 filled with fluid. The comb 64 is then attached and the three items together constitute a liquid dispensing comb 134. Once inverted the liquid flows through the hollow restricted conduit blade 121 and out the holes 126 and between the teeth 67 and onto the hair being combed through. In this way shampoo and other hair treatments can be applied to hair as it is simultaneously being combed.

Referring to FIGS. 34, 36 and 37 the second variation on the fourth embodiment of the present invention is the connection of a hose 136 to the restricted conduit dummy blade 121, the other end of the hose being attached to a faucet 138. In this way water would flow out the holes 126 as described above. Use of pressurized water would be effective as well as the comb would not be knocked off by the pressure since the holes 126 are aligned with the openings between the teeth 67.

The fifth embodiment of the present invention involves connecting a vacuum source to create a vacuum comb. Conduit Dummy blade 120 with its large opening would have a comb 64 connected to it and a hose 136 connected as described above. The other end of the hose 136 would connect to a cylindrical adapter 140 with an inside diameter appropriate for connection with the attachment vacuum hose 142 of a household vacuum. In this way, once connected the vacuum comb could be combed through the hair as the vacuum removed dislodged debris.

The sixth embodiment of the present invention is a third application of the conduit dummy blade 120, the dryer comb. The device is assembled as described above with the exception that the cylindrical adapter 140 would be replaced by a larger cylindrical adapter 144 suitable for connection to the barrel of a hair dryer 146. In this way, once connected a dryer comb could be combed through the hair as hot air blew between the teeth 67.

The creation of the five tools and the organizer described here are all illustrative examples of the application of a dummy clipper head in creating new uses for guide combs. It should be clear from this description that there is no limit to the number of devices that could be created with the present invention, just as there is no limit to the number of devices which could include a comb.

Only a few of the many forms that the dummy clipper head could take are shown here. These forms have been selected for the clarity with which they illustrate the nature of the present invention. It is likely that if mass produced their form would change though they would still represent the principle of the present invention.

Like the elongated teeth on a dummy head mentioned in the description of the scissor comb 90 and the razor comb 106, there are many variations which are within the scope of the present invention.

The precise dimensions given for both the stationary blade 50 and the guide comb 64 and their means of engagement are to illustrate a typical example. Variations in these dimensions and the method of attachment should be construed as being within the scope of this patent.

The novel dual engagement of the V shaped groove 66 which is part of the scissor comb 90 and razor comb 106 should not be construed as being limited to these two devices. This novel method of connection to a guide comb has broad application to both the dummy hair clipper heads of the present invention as well as to the hair clipper itself.

None of the specifics of the detailed description above should be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. They are in fact not necessarily the preferred embodiments (as mentioned the guide comb organizer would be most practically produced as a single integral piece and was describe in parts for the sake of clarity).

Thus the scope of the invention should be determined by the following claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given.
