Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a straightening comb with elastic floating teeth, comprising a shell, a heater, a tooth assembly, a control switch and a circuit board, wherein the tooth assembly comprises fixed and elastic teeth, the fixed teeth are installed fixedly in the shell, the elastic teeth are installed movably in the shell, and each elastic tooth is opposite to a fixed tooth; an elastic component is provided on the side of each elastic tooth, and presses against the side of the elastic tooth, allowing the elastic tooth to move closer to or farther away from the fixed tooth. Thus, the teeth can adapt to different hair thicknesses and fineness levels, and ensure that each hair is under an appropriate tension. This helps to distribute the straightening force evenly, prevent the over-stretching or insufficient straightening of a single hair.

Dependent claims

A straightening comb with elastic floating teeth, comprising:

a shell, a heater, a tooth assembly and a circuit board, wherein the heater is connected to the circuit board,
the tooth assembly comprises fixed teeth and elastic teeth, the fixed teeth are installed fixedly in the shell where a tooth hole is provided between each adjacent pair of fixed teeth, and the elastic teeth are installed movably in the shell and extend within the tooth holes such that the fixed and elastic teeth alternate, where each elastic tooth comprises symmetrically arranged left and right teeth;
an elastic component disposed in each of the elastic teeth between the respective left and right teeth thereof, where each of the elastic components press against adjacent sides of the respective left and right teeth to form a structure that pushes and moves the left and right teeth simultaneously, and permits each of the elastic teeth to independently move closer to or farther away from the respective adjacent fixed tooth;
an upper part of the elastic teeth or the fixed teeth includes an inclined structure to provide a gap that accommodates hair between the elastic and fixed teeth;
and
wherein the elastic component is a silicone block or a spring.
