Comb and a protective glove for thermal protection that employs the comb

A comb system comprising:

• a glove having a palm covering portion and at least three finger covering sleeves;
• one or more of the at least three finger covering sleeves each have a mounting sleeve providing a slot wherein the mounting sleeves are disposed along lateral side portions of the respective finger covering sleeves;
• at least one comb comprising:
• a base having a right side, a left side, a top side and a bottom side, where the top and bottom sides extend between the right and left sides to define a length of the base;
• a longitudinal row of teeth extending along the length of the base on said top side;
• an arch shaped curved structure attached to said bottom side of said base and extending downwardly away from said bottom side and said longitudinal row of teeth;
• and an attacher having a coupling end and an extension, the coupling end being connected to a bottom side of said curved structure and to the left side of said base, the extension protruding longitudinally from the coupling end toward the right side such that a gap exists between the extension and the bottom side of the curved structure along the length of the extension;
• wherein a cross section of the attacher in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal length of the base has a curved shape defined by an arched central portion and flattened laterally extending end portions protruding from opposing ends of the arched central portion and the attacher is removably coupled to one of the mounting sleeves of the finger covering sleeves of the glove by sliding the extension into the slot of the one of the mounting sleeves,
• wherein the curved structure has flared ends which extend laterally outwardly past the flattened end portions of the attacher such that the curved structure covers the lateral side portions of the respective finger covering sleeve.
