Comb

Abstract

A comb with a dent formed in an outer edge surface of an edge part. A tip of the edge part is pressed against a scalp where the parting line in hair is to be formed, and a hair bundle divided outside the edge part is pinched between the edge part and a finger. Since a part of the pinched hair bundle spreads naturally inside the dent, a stuck feeling is eliminated, and the edge part moves smoothly along the parting line without the pinched hair resisting formation of the parting line. Further, in the comb, a plurality of through-holes are formed in a main body at predetermined intervals. When measuring hair, the outer surface is pressed against the scalp, and measurements of the length of hair lengths are made based on the through-holes, while a two-point contact state in which edge portions on both sides of the dent contact the scalp.

1 . A comb comprising a comb main body, one end edge comb part formed on one end side in a longitudinal direction of the comb main body, and a plurality of comb teeth formed on the comb main body,
 wherein the one end edge comb part has a sharpened tip end to be used for formation of a parting line in head hair; and   a dented portion is formed in an outer edge surface between a tip end side and a base end side of the one end edge comb part so as to make a space in which a hair bundle of the parting line is spread, the hair bundle being pinched by a finger applied to the outer edge surface.   
     
     
         2 . The comb as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the comb main body has indexes indicative of distances parallel to the longitudinal direction as the outer edge surface of the one end edge comb part is pressed against a scalp to contact outer edge portions that remain on both sides of the dented portion with the scalp,
 wherein a measurement of a length of head hair is carried out based on the indexes by applying the outer edge surface of the one end against the scalp.   
     
     
         3 . The comb as recited in  claim 2 , wherein a grip part is formed on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the comb main body,
 wherein an outer edge dented portion is formed in an outer edge surface of the grip part, and   wherein the measurement of the length of the head hair is carried out based on the indexes by applying the outer edge surface of the grip part to the scalp to contact outer edge portions that remain on both sides of the outer edge dented portion with the scalp.   
     
     
         4 . The comb as recited in  claim 2 , comprising an other end edge comb part formed on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the comb main body,
 wherein an other end dented portion is formed in an outer edge surface between a tip end side and a base end side of the other end edge comb part, and   wherein the measurement of the length of the head hair can be carried out based on the indexes by applying the outer edge surface of the other end edge comb part to the scalp to contact outer edge portions that remain on both sides of the other end dented portion with the scalp.   
     
     
         5 . The comb as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the outer edge surface of the one end edge comb part is formed obliquely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the comb main body. 
     
     
         6 . The comb as recited in  claim 4 , wherein the outer edge surface of the one end edge comb part is formed obliquely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the comb main body. 
     
     
         7 - 12 . (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . The comb as recited in  claim 4 , wherein the outer edge surface of the one end edge comb part and the outer edge surface of the other end edge comb part are formed obliquely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the comb main body, respectively, and
 wherein an angle of the oblique outer edge surface of the one end edge comb part is different from an angle of the oblique outer edge surface of the other end edge comb part.   
     
     
         14 . The comb as recited in  claim 4 , wherein the comb main body has first indexes indicative of distances from the one end side of the comb main body and second indexes indicative of distances from the other end side of the comb main body. 
     
     
         15 . The comb as recited in  claim 13 , wherein the comb main body has first indexes indicative of distances from the one end side of the comb main body and second indexes indicative of distances from the other end side of the comb main body. 
     
     
         16 . The comb as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the comb main body has first indexes corresponding to a first distance unit system and second indexes corresponding to a second distance unit system. 
     
     
         17 . The comb as recited in  claim 4 , wherein the comb main body has first indexes corresponding to a first distance unit system and second indexes corresponding to a second distance unit system. 
     
     
         18 . The comb as recited in  claim 15 , wherein the first indexes are different in appearance from the second indexes. 
     
     
         19 . The comb as recited in  claim 1 , wherein a comb part having a plurality of comb teeth is provided to the one end edge comb part, and tip ends of the respective comb teeth of the comb part form the outer surface. 
     
     
         20 . The comb as recited in  claim 2 , wherein a comb part having a plurality of comb teeth is provided to the one end edge comb part, and tip ends of the respective comb teeth of the comb part form the outer surface. 
     
     
         21 . The comb as recited in  claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the one end edge comb part is larger at the base end side than the tip end side, and
 wherein a concave portion is formed in the outer edge surface at a center portion in a thickness direction, on the base end side of the one end edge comb part.   
     
     
         22 . The comb as recited in  claim 2 , wherein a thickness of the one end edge comb part is larger at the base end side than the tip end side, and
 wherein a concave portion is formed in the outer edge surface at a center portion in a thickness direction, on the base end side of the one end edge comb part.
