Comb

Abstract

The purpose is to reduce a load on fingers which grip a comb and to increase a gripping power to the fingers which grip the comb. In a comb, first and second recessed parts of a curved shape are formed in both perimeter edges of edge comb parts in width directions, respectively, and also first and second comb tooth recessed parts of a curved shape are formed in both perimeter edges of a plurality of comb teeth in width directions. When one of the edge comb parts is mainly gripped by the fingers, the fingers are fitted into the first or second recessed part of the edge comb parts and also into the first or second comb tooth recessed parts of the comb teeth located nearby. Since each of the recessed parts has the curved shape, it achieves surface contact with the fingers.

         12 . A comb comprising a comb main body having a plurality of comb teeth, and an edge comb part projecting from one end of the comb main body characterized in that:
 the edge comb part is divided into a range on a tip-end side having a tapered tip end, a range on the root side connected with the comb main body and a range of a middle part which is between the tip-end side and the root side,   an outer edge surface forming an edge of a perimeter of the edge comb part in a front view is concave at the middle part and convex at the tip-end side by forming a depressed part at the middle part in the outer edge surface,   a tip end through-hole penetrating in the width directions of the edge comb part is formed within the range on the tip-end side, and   a counter bore is formed around the tip end through-hole.   
     
     
         13 . The comb of  claim 12 , wherein the tip end through-hole and the counter bore are elliptical shape, and
 the tip end through-hole and the counter bore are arranged so that long-axis direction of the elliptical shape is oblique with respect to a projecting direction of the edge comb part.   
     
     
         14 . The comb of  claim 12 , wherein the range of the middle part is wider than the range on the tip-end side. 
     
     
         15 . The comb of  claim 13 , wherein the range of the middle part is wider than the range on the tip-end side. 
     
     
         16 . The comb of  claim 12 , wherein a recessed part is formed at the middle part in at least one side of perimeter edges of the edge comb part in width directions, and
 the root side of the perimeter edge where the recessed part is formed is a flat surface.   
     
     
         17 . The comb of  claim 13 , wherein a recessed part is formed at the middle part in at least one side of perimeter edges of the edge comb part in width directions, and
 the root side of the perimeter edge where the recessed part is formed is a flat surface.   
     
     
         18 . The comb of  claim 14 , wherein a recessed part is formed at the middle part in at least one side of perimeter edges of the edge comb part in width directions, and
 the root side of the perimeter edge where the recessed part is formed is a flat surface.   
     
     
         19 . The comb of  claim 15 , wherein a recessed part is formed at the middle part in at least one side of perimeter edges of the edge comb part in width directions, and
 the root side of the perimeter edge where the recessed part is formed is a flat surface.   
     
     
         20 . The comb of  claim 16 , wherein in each of the comb teeth at least included in a range provided to the edge comb part side among the plurality of comb teeth, comb tooth recessed parts are formed in a part corresponding to the recessed part of the edge comb part in width directions of the comb teeth, and
 the recessed part smoothly leads to the comb tooth recessed parts.   
     
     
         21 . The comb of  claim 17 , wherein in each of the comb teeth at least included in a range provided to the edge comb part side among the plurality of comb teeth, comb tooth recessed parts are formed in a part corresponding to the recessed part of the edge comb part in width directions of the comb teeth, and
 the recessed part smoothly leads to the comb tooth recessed parts.   
     
     
         22 . The comb of  claim 18 , wherein in each of the comb teeth at least included in a range provided to the edge comb part side among the plurality of comb teeth, comb tooth recessed parts are formed in a part corresponding to the recessed part of the edge comb part in width directions of the comb teeth, and
 the recessed part smoothly leads to the comb tooth recessed parts.   
     
     
         23 . The comb of  claim 19 , wherein in each of the comb teeth at least included in a range provided to the edge comb part side among the plurality of comb teeth, comb tooth recessed parts are formed in a part corresponding to the recessed part of the edge comb part in width directions of the comb teeth, and
 the recessed part smoothly leads to the comb tooth recessed parts.
