Abstract
A hairbrush has a plurality of molded tines, each with a main shaft and a first branch extending from the shaft. The first branch extends at a point between the base of the shaft and the free end of the shaft, and is oriented on the shaft and dimensioned such that the tine is adapted to comb and separate tangled or matted hair. The tines may be arranged such that the first branch of one tine is randomly oriented relative to the first branch of adjacent tines. The tines may have a second branch extending from the shaft at a point between the base of the shaft and the first branch. The first and second branches extend in a radial direction from the shaft at an angle of 5° to 90° relative to a longitudinal axis of the shaft.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to molded hairbrush tines and a hairbrush made with such tines for combing and brushing hair.
- 2. Background
- Hairbrushes with molded tines, bristles or teeth are known. Hair brushes with molded tines (as opposed to, for example, brushes with bundles or tufts of extruded fiber bristles secured by staples in holes in a solid base, backbone, rod or core) generally comprise several rows of tines either integrally molded, over-molded or assembled onto a core. Each row typically has a plurality of tines. Generally, the profile, shape or design of each of the tines is the same throughout the brush head. Also each tine generally has a circular or semi-circular cross-section.
- Known molded tine hairbrushes have a limited capacity to comb and separate tangled or matted hair.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a molded tine hairbrush with improved ability to comb and separate hair.
- A hairbrush has a plurality of molded tines, each with a main shaft and a first and a second branch extending from the shaft. The first branch extends at a point between the base of the shaft and the free end of the shaft. The second branch extends from the shaft at a point between the base of the shaft and up to and including a height of the first branch. The first and second branches extend in a radial direction from the shaft at an angle of 5° to 90° relative to the free end and to a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The first and/or second branch are oriented on the shaft and dimensioned to adapt the tine to comb and separate tangled, matted hair.
- The invention also relates to a tine adapted to be secured to a base of a hairbrush. The tine has a main shaft with a first end adapted to be secured to the base of the hairbrush, and an opposite free end. The main shaft defines a longitudinal axis and has a length taken from the first end to the free end. At least a first branch extends from the main shaft at a point between the first end and the free end. The first branch extends in a radial direction from the main shaft at an angle of 5° to 90° relative to the free end of the shaft and to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. A second branch may extend from the main shaft at a point between the first end and up to and including a height of the first branch on the shaft. The second branch may extend radially from the shaft at an angle of 5° to 90° relative to the free end and to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The first branch is oriented on the shaft and dimensioned to adapt the tine to comb and separate tangled, matted hair. The second branch may be similarly mounted on the shaft in an orientation and dimension adapted to comb and separate tangled, matted hair.

FIG. 1 , ahairbrush 2 incorporating abrush head 4 with moldedtines 6 of the present invention is shown. The hairbrush includes a handle 8 (shown in broken lines) adapted to be grasped by the user. Thehandle 8 is connected to abase 10 that is adapted to support at least onemolded tine 6, and preferably a plurality ofmolded tines 6, that extend from thebase 10. - For clarity, “tines” are generally understood to be prongs extending from an implement. “Bristles” are generally understood to be stiff, hair-like structures. “Teeth” are generally understood to be projecting parts each resembling a tooth in shape or function, as on a comb, gear, or saw. As used herein, the terms “tines”, “bristles” or “teeth” in singular or plural form are used interchangeably to designate any thin, stiff prong, projection, projecting part or structure extending from a supporting backbone, rod, core or base. The molded tines, bristles and teeth having at least a first branch oriented and dimensioned to adapt the tine to comb and separate tangled, matted hair.
- As illustrated in
FIGS. 1-8 , eachtine 6 has amain shaft 12 with a base end orfirst end 14. Thefirst end 14 is adapted to be secured to thebase 10 of thebrush head 4 by, for example, integrally molding, over-molding, bi-injection molding, adhering, welding, staking, friction fit or other well know means or method. In the illustrations, thefirst end 14 of theshaft 12 is staked to thebase 10 by way of abayonet 24. Thebayonet 24 is comprised of an enlargedcollar 26 and aflared nib 28 connected by a reduceddiameter portion 30. As illustrated inFIGS. 4-5 and 7-8, thebase 10 has asurface 34 with a plurality ofbores 32 for receiving thetines 6. Thebayonet 24 of a tine is secured to thebase 10 by forcing theflared nib 28 through one of thebores 32. Eachbore 32 is dimensioned to receive in close fit the reduceddiameter portion 30 of thebayonet 24. Ashoulder 36 formed by the intersection of the side and bottom of thecollar 26 abuts thesurface 34 of the base. - The
shaft 12 has an oppositefree end 16. Theshaft 12 defines alongitudinal axis 18, and theshaft 12 has a length LL taken from the point on theshaft 12 where theshaft 12 emerges from thesurface 34 at thefirst end 14 to thefree end 16. Afirst branch 20 extends from theshaft 12 at a point between thefirst end 14 and thefree end 16. Thefirst branch 20 extends in a radial direction from theshaft 12 at an angle AA of 5° to 90° relative to thefree end 16 and to thelongitudinal axis 18 of theshaft 12. Thefirst branch 20 is oriented on the shaft and dimensioned to adapt the tine, and thereby a brush including the tine, to comb and separate tangled, matted hair. It is believed that this improved action of the brush tine is because at least some portion of the hair being brushed or combed is captured by thebranch 20 above thesurface 34, thus lifting and separating it from portions of the hair being brushed or combed that pass closer to or touch thesurface 34. In effect, the tine with abranch 20 divides hair into smaller, more manageable portions as the brush is drawn through tangled, matted hair. - At least some of the
tines 6 may have asecond branch 22 extending from theshaft 12 at a point between thefirst end 14 and up to and including a height Y of thefirst branch 20 on theshaft 12 taken from the point on theshaft 12 where theshaft 12 emerges from thesurface 34. Thesecond branch 22 extends radially from theshaft 12 at an angle BB of 5° to 90° relative to thefree end 16 and to thelongitudinal axis 18. Thesecond branch 22 further adapts the tine, and thereby thebrush head 4, to better comb and separate tangled, matted hair in a manner similar to thefirst branch 20. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , each of thetines 6 can be identical in size, branch configuration and branch orientation (though branch orientation is illustrated as random inFIG. 1 ), or branched tines can be mixed with non-branched tines. Thebranches tine 6 and respective branch orbranches branches shaft 12 may be at the same height relative to thefirst end 14, or may be located at different heights along theshaft 12.Adjacent tines 6 on abrush head 4 may havebranches adjacent tines 6 on abrush head 4 may havebranches Adjacent tines 6 may be identical in shape, configuration and dimensions, or may be different in at least one of shape, configuration and dimensions. Similarly,branches same tine 6, or onadjacent tines 6, may be identical in shape, configuration and dimensions, or may be different in at least one of shape, configuration and dimensions. Eachbrush head 4 may have allidentical tines 6 or may havedifferent tines 6 and/ordifferent branches branches - The
brush head 4 may be further adapted to comb and separate tangled and matted hair by randomly orienting at least thefirst branch 20 orsecond branch 22 of onetine 6 relative to thefirst branch 20 orsecond branch 22 of an adjacent tine ortines 6. Preferably, thefirst branch 20 on each of the plurality oftines 6 is randomly oriented with respect to thefirst branch 20 or thesecond branch 22 on adjacent ones of the remainder of the plurality oftines 6. The random orientation is best illustrated, for example, in the top plan view ofFIG. 6 looking down at thesurface 34 of thebrush head 4 wherein atine 6 has afirst branch 20 oriented in a first direction, andtines 6′ and 6″ havefirst branches 20′ and 20″, respectively, oriented in second and third directions relative to the first direction. Similarly, thesecond branch 22 of atine 6 may also be randomly oriented relative to thefirst branch 20 or thesecond branch 22 of adjacent ones of the remainder of thetines 6. It is believed that this random arrangement of the branches of the tines may further facilitate combing and separation of matted and tangled hair by further separating hair into even smaller portions as the brush is drawn through tangled, matted hair. - While the embodiments described herein are illustrated with each
tine 6 of the plurality of tines having at least afirst branch 20, it will be understood that the brush head may include some tines with two or more branches (for example, first andsecond branches tines 6 of the brush include afirst branch 20, or afirst branch 20 andsecond branch 22, the invention is embodied in the brush. For example, each row of tines can include the branched tines of the invention alone, or alternatively, a mix of the branched tines of the invention and conventional tines (e.g., no branches). - The
first branch 20 andsecond branch 22 may extend from theshaft 12 in the same direction. Alternatively, thefirst branch 20 may extend from theshaft 12 in a first radial direction and thesecond branch 22 may extend from theshaft 12 in a second radial direction. The second radial direction may, for example, be opposite the first radial direction as illustrated in the Figures. - The angle of the
first branch 20 relative to thelongitudinal axis 18 may be the same as the angle of thesecond branch 22, or the angles of thefirst branch 20 andsecond branch 22 may be different angles. The angle AA, BB is 5° to 90° relative to thefree end 16 and to thelongitudinal axis 18 of theshaft 12. At least one of thefirst branch 20 or thesecond branch 22 has a length that is at least 5% of the length LL of theshaft 18.Adjacent tines 6 may be equally spaced or the tines may be offset from each other or randomly spaced. - While
brush head 4 with a plurality oftines 6, at least some of which have at least afirst branch 20, is described above as embodying the invention, the invention is also embodied in theindividual tines 6 as illustrated, for example, inFIGS. 3A-3C . Eachtine 6 has amain shaft 12 defining alongitudinal axis 18. Afirst end 14 of theshaft 12 is adapted to be secured to thebase 10 of thebrush head 4. Theshaft 12 has an oppositefree end 16. A length LL of theshaft 12 is taken from the point on theshaft 12 where theshaft 12 emerges from thesurface 34 at thefirst end 14 to thefree end 16. Afirst branch 20 extends from theshaft 12 at a height Y, i.e., a point on theshaft 12 between where theshaft 12 emerges from thesurface 34 and thefree end 16. Asecond branch 22 extends from theshaft 12 at a height Z, i.e., between a point on theshaft 12 where theshaft 12 emerges from thesurface 34 and up to and including the height Y of thefirst branch 20 on theshaft 12. Thefirst branch 20 and asecond branch 22 extend in a radial direction from theshaft 12 at an angle AA, BB, respectively, of 5° to 90° relative to thefree end 16 and thelongitudinal axis 18 of theshaft 12. Thefirst branch 20 and/or thesecond branch 22 are oriented on the shaft and dimensioned to adapt the tine, and thereby a brush including the tine, to comb and separate tangled, matted hair. It is believed that this improved action of the tine is because at least some portion of the hair being brushed or combed is captured by thebranch surface 34, thus lifting and separating it from portions of the hair being brushed or combed that pass closer to or touch thesurface 34 of the brush head. In effect, the tine with at least onebranch 20 divides hair into smaller portions for processing. The tine may be assembled in a brush head such that the first branch is randomly oriented relative to the first branch of adjacent tines to further facilitate the ability to comb and separate tangled or matted hair. - Whether in a plurality of tines or as an individual tine, the
first branch 20 may extend from theshaft 12 in a first radial direction and thesecond branch 22 may extend from theshaft 12 in the same radial direction (seeFIG. 3C ) or in a second different radial direction (FIG. 3B ). The second radial direction may be opposite the first radial direction. The angle AA of thefirst branch 20 may be the same as the angle BB of thesecond branch 22, or the angles of thefirst branch 20 andsecond branch 22 may be different. Preferably, at least one of thefirst branch 20 or thesecond branch 22 has a length that is at least 5% of the length LL of theshaft 12. - The
brush head tines 6 and thebrush head 4 may be made by injection molding (or any other suitable molding means) from any suitable plastic material. Preferred materials are, such as, for example, polymers including silicone elastomers, thermoplastic elastomers (e.g., styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer—SEBS), vinyl elastomers (EVA), thermoplastic polyester elastomers (e.g., Hytrel® from DuPont de Nemours), thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (Pelethane® from Dow Plastic), Nitrile or EPDM. Hardness of the material is preferably from about 35 MPa (35 Shore D Hytrel® from DuPont de Nemours) to about 1180 MPa (82 Shore D Hytrel® from DuPont de Nemours). More preferably, tensile modulus ranges from about 95 MPa (45 Shore D Hytrel® from DuPont de Nemours) to about 570 MPa (72 Shore D Hytrel® from DuPont de Nemours). Most preferably, tensile modulus ranges from about 200 MPa (55 Shore D Hytrel® from DuPont de Nemours) to about 280 MPa (63 Shore D Hytrel® from DuPont de Nemours). - The
tines 6 may have any size, shape and spacing suitable for intended purposes and functions, e.g., arrangement and/or separation of matted or tangled hair. Preferably, but not necessarily, thetines 6 have an average height LL ranging from about 1 mm to about 30 mm. More preferably, thetines 6 have an average height from about 5 mm to about 25 mm and, most preferably, from about 10 mm to about 18 mm. The average cross-sectional diameter of thetines 6 preferably ranges from about 0.5 mm to about 5 mm. More preferably, the cross-sectional diameter of the tines ranges from about 1 mm to about 3 mm and most preferably from about 1.5 mm to about 2 mm. - The brush head and tines of the invention may be used for any hair combing, brushing or styling operation.
- While the invention has been described and illustrated as embodied in preferred forms of construction, it will be understood that various modifications may be made in the structure and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention recited in the following claims.
