Abstract

A lice comb (10) comprising a housing (12) having a planar lower wall portion (14), an upper wall portion (16) and a side wall portion (18). A comb unit (20) comprising a blade (22) having a plurality of teeth (24) is moveable from a retracted position, in which the blade (22) is parallel to the lower wall portion (14), and an extended position, in which the blade (22) extends at an angle away from the lower wall portion (14). A fan unit is provided within the housing (12) such that the fan unit operates to draw air inwardly through an opening (30) in the lower wall portion (14) adjacent the comb unit (20). When the blade (20) is in the extended position, the housing (12) may be moved to draw the teeth (24) through hair such that lice captured by the teeth (24) are drawn in through the opening (30).
