Abstract
A combing device to facilitate de-matting or untangling of animal hair comprises a pair of combs, a handle unit and a switch. The handle unit comprises an internal energy conduit device through which energy or force can be caused to flow and effectuate a forceful movement of at least one of the combs. In operation, a user places the pair of combs in or near the area of an animal's matted hair and controls the switch to repeatedly cause one of the combs to forcefully move forward and then back, thereby generating repeatedly strong combing actions.
Claims17
A device for de-matting animal hair, comprising;
- a rod having a first portion encased in a handle unit and a second portion extending beyond the handle unit;
- a first comb comprising a plurality of teeth and a body to which one end of each tooth is attached;
- and said first comb being connected to a part of the second portion of the rod;
- a switch operationally connected to the rod for adaptively controlling the movement of the rod and the first comb;
- and
- an energy conduit means encased in the handle unit;
- wherein the first comb moves in response to energy allowed to flow into and through the energy conduit means in response to a first action on the switch.
A device for de-matting animal hair, comprising:
- first and second combs;
- an elongated handle unit having front and back portions;
- the first comb being affixed to a part of the front portion of the handle unit so as to be stationary relative to the handle unit;
- the handle unit comprising a pneumatic cylinder and a valve, said valve defining a hollow channel;
- and the pneumatic cylinder further comprising a rod which extends beyond the handle unit and to which the second comb is affixed;
- and
- a switch for controlling the valve such that the channel of the valve is adaptively opened or closed with respect to the pneumatic cylinder.
A device for de-matting animal hair, comprising
- a first comb having a plurality of teeth and a body;
- a handle unit having front and back portions, said handle unit encasing a first portion of a rod whose second portion extends beyond the front portion of the handle and connects to the body of the first comb;
- the handle unit further encasing a conduit means for allowing energy to flow from the back portion to the front portion of the handle unit;
- and
- a switch for adaptively controlling energy to flow into and through the conduit means.
