Abstract
A hair styling apparatus is provided including a brush head, a plurality of tines located on the brush head, and a series of movable linearly arranged prongs having an angled orientation with respect to the brush head. A user causing movement of the linearly arranged prongs serves to secure the user' s hair against a subset of the plurality of tines.
Claims20
A hair styling apparatus comprising:
- a brush head;
- a plurality of tines located on the brush head, the plurality of tines fixedly mounted to the brush head;
- two bases oriented in parallel, each base of the two bases affixed with a plurality of movable linearly arranged prongs;
- and
- a rack and gear arrangement comprising a rack and a gear, the rack and gear arrangement connected to the two bases affixed with the plurality of movable linearly arranged prongs and actuatable by a user;
- wherein the plurality of movable linearly arranged prongs comprises a plurality of hair capturing prongs formed of two integrally formed linear segments of equivalent thickness, each hair capturing prong comprising:
- a lower angled linear segment comprising a lower angled linear segment bottom and a lower angled linear segment top, the lower angled linear segment bottom nonperpendicularly formed to one base of said two bases, and the lower angled linear segment extending in a straight line from said one base;
- and
- an upper vertically oriented linear segment comprising an upper vertically oriented linear segment base angularly formed to the lower angled linear segment top such that the upper vertically oriented linear segment is perpendicular to the one base.
