Abstract
A rotating hair brush has several dividers between some of the rows of bristles. The dividers prevent hair from being tangled in the bristles as the brush rotates. The dividers also help smooth the hair and absorb and transfer back to the hair heat from a blow dryer. The dividers may be of many different shapes and may extend longitudinally or curve along the brush. Structure allows the brush to be removed from the handle that contains the motor and battery powering the brush. The brush also may have a guide covering part of the bristles.
Claims45
A rotating hair brush comprising:
- a. a handle;
- b. an elongated core rotating about the handle, the core having a longitudinal length and a longitudinal axis, and a plurality of bristles extending outward from the core from a proximal end attached to the core to a distal end;
- c. divider means between some of the bristles extending from the core to a distal surface adjacent the distal end of the bristles to which the divider is adjacent, the distal surface having a curved distal surface, the divider means being positioned to contact and push hair away from the longitudinal axis of the core as the core rotates.
A hair brush comprising:
- a. a handle and a brush portion mounted for rotation on the handle;
- b. the brush portion having an elongated core, the core having a longitudinal length and a longitudinal axis, and a plurality of bristles extending outward from the core from a proximal end attached to the core to a distal end;
- c. divider means between some of the bristles extending from the core to a distal surface for contacting the user's hair and pushing the hair outward, away from the bristles as the divider means contacts hair during rotation of the core, the divider means comprising at least one divider element, the at least one divider element extending from the core to a distal surface adjacent the distal end of the bristles to which the divider is adjacent, the distal surface having a curved distal surface.
A method of brushing hair comprising:
- a. rotating a series of bristles on a hair brush about an axis of rotation under the hair, the bristles extending outward from a central core of the brush to a distal end;
- b. revolving at least one divider on the hair brush about the axis of rotation between the bristles under the hair, the dividers extending outward from the central core to a distal surface, the distal surface being positioned to contact the hair as the divider revolves, and the distal surface pushing the hair away from the axis of rotation as the divider revolves.
A rotating hair brush comprising, an axis of rotation, a plurality of bristles extending outward away from the axis of rotation, the bristles revolving about the axis of rotation, at least one divider between some of the bristles, the at least one divider revolving about the axis of rotation and having a surface positioned to contact hair as the bristles travel between parts of the hair, the hair brush further comprising a central core around the axis of rotation, the at least one divider having a hollow cylinder extending outward from the central core and a tab connecting the hollow cylinder to the central core, the hollow cylinder having at least one opening to permit fluid to flow from inside the cylinder through the opening to the outside of the cylinder.
A hair brush comprising a handle, a motor and a rotating core, the motor rotating the core relative to the handle, the core having a length, a circumference and an axis of rotation, a plurality of bristles attached to the core and projecting outward from the core to a distal end for pushing hair away from the core, at least two dividers attached to the core and projecting outward from the core to a distal end, the divider means being between some of the bristles, each divider being circumferentially wider than a bristle, each divider having a curved distal surface facing away from the core to contact hair as core rotates.
A rotating hair brush for brushing hair comprising:
- a. a handle;
- b. an elongated core attached to the handle, the core having a longitudinal length and a longitudinal axis, and a plurality of bristles extending outward from the core from a proximal end attached to the core to a distal end;
- c. a motor for rotating the core relative to the handle;
- d. divider means between some of the bristles extending from the core to a distal surface for contacting the user's hair and pushing the hair outward, away from the bristles as the divider means contacts hair during rotation of the core.
