Abstract
A hairbrush is provided. The hairbrush includes a handle with an engagement shaft featuring a first magnet, a brush head with a first end and a second end, and bristles radially distributed around the brush head body. The hairbrush further includes a second magnet disposed within a receiving volume of the brush head. The first magnet attaches to the second magnet. The resistance to rotation of the brush head with respect to the engagement shaft is achieved through the magnetic interaction between the first and second magnets. The brush head rotates upon encountering resistance from tangled or matted hair, allowing it to brush past the tangled or matted hair and limit the maximum amount of tension that would otherwise be transferred to the hair.
Claims18
A hairbrush (100), comprising:
- a handle (101) ergonomically designed and comprising an engagement shaft (102) extending from a first end (101a) of a grip portion(101b), the engagement shaft (102) comprises at least one first magnet (102a);
- a brush head (104) comprising a first end (104), a second end (104b), and a plurality of bristles (104g) radially distributed about a brush head body (104i);
- at least one second magnet (106a) disposed within a receiving volume (104h) of the brush head (104);
- wherein the at least one first magnet (102a) attaches to the at least one second magnet (106a), and wherein the resistance to rotation of the brush head (104) with respect to the engagement shaft (102) is by means of the magnetic interaction between the at least one first magnet (102a) and the at least one second magnet (106a);
- and
- wherein, the brush head (104) rotates upon encountering resistance from tangled hair and/or matted hair (112) of a user (110) to brush past the tangled hair or matted hair (112) and limit the maximum amount of tension that would otherwise be transferred to the hair (112).
