Abstract
A comb comprised of an elongated back having integral substantially parallel teeth extending therefrom. A bubble-type level is rotatably mounted within a first recess provided in the comb back. The level is mounted to rotate about its longitudinal axis and is provided with a plurality of projections spaced at predetermined angular intervals arranged along one end of the level for cooperation with a second recess to form a "click-lock" arrangement with the second recess provided in a cooperating sidewall of the first recess to automatically lock the level into the desired orientation which may, for example, be right-lock, center-lock or left-lock orientations. The level facilitates leveling of the comb during use.
Claims17
A comb-like member for use in cutting hair comprising:
- an elongated back having a plurality of integral teeth extending therefrom and being substantially arranged in spaced parallel fashion;
- said back having a recess extending into one edge of said back remote from said teeth;
- a level arranged within said recess, the longitudinal axis of said level being substantially perpendicular to said teeth;
- and means for rotatably mounting said level within said recess to permit said level to be oriented at any desired angle by rotation about its longitudinal axis, said recess facilitating the viewing of said level at a plurality of orientations to facilitate orientation of said comb-like member and viewing of said level.
