Hair brush including hair removal means

A hair brush including hair removal means, comprising:

• a hair brush frame having a recess;
• an arcuate bristle retaining plate adapted to engage said recess, said plate having a multiplicity of bristle receiving holes extending between a frame recess engaging major surface and an upper major surface of the plate,
• said recess having an arcuate bottom surface adapted to contact said frame recess engaging major surface of said bristle retaining plate;
• and
• an elongated generally cylindrical bendable bristle slidably disposed in each of said holes of said bristle retaining plate,
• each bristle having an enlarged frame engaging end adjacent said recess engaging major surface and an enlarged bulbous other end adjacent said upper major surface of said bristle retaining plate,
• each of said ends having a diameter greater than the diameter of the corresponding hole, so that each bristle may slide within the corresponding hole until one of said ends engages an adjacent major surface of said bristle retaining plate;
• whereby the bristle retaining plate can be disengaged from the recess of said hair brush frame to facilitate removal of hair from said bristle retaining plate and bristles, and wherein when said plate is disengaged from said recess the bristles may slide through the corresponding holes in the bristle retaining plate until the bulbous ends engage the upper major surface of the bristle retaining plate, and may also slide through the corresponding holes in the bristle retaining plate until the frame engaging ends engage the corresponding holes in the bristle retaining plate so as to facilitate reengagement of the recess engaging surface of the bristle retaining plate with the recess in the brush frame.

A hair brush including hair removal means, comprising:

• a hair brush frame having an arcuate surface portion;
• an arcuate bristle retaining plate having a frame engaging major surface conforming to the shape of said arcuate surface portion and adapted to overlie the same,
• said plate having a multiplicity of bristle receiving holes extending between the frame engaging major surface and an upper major surface of the plate;
• an elongated generally cylindrical bendable bristle slidably disposed in each of said holes of said bristle retaining plate,
• each bristle having an enlarged frame engaging end adjacent said frame engaging major surface and an enlarged bulbous other end adjacent said upper major surface of said bristle retaining plate,
• each of said ends having a diameter greater than the diameter of the corresponding hole, so that each bristle may slide within the corresponding hole until one of said ends engages an adjacent major surface of said bristle retaining plate;
• and
• means for securing said bristle retaining plate to said frame with the frame engaging major surface thereof disposed in juxtaposition with the arcuate surface portion of the frame,
• whereby the bristle retaining plate can be disengaged from the hair brush frame to facilitate removal of hair from said bristle retaining plate and bristles, and wherein when said plate is disengaged from said frame the bristles may slide through the corresponding holes in the bristle retaining plate until the bulbous ends engage the upper major surface of the bristle retaining plate, and may also slide through the corresponding holes in the bristle retaining plate until the frame engaging ends engage the corresponding holes in the bristle retaining plate so as to facilitate re-positioning of the frame engaging surface of the bristle retaining plate in juxtaposition with the arcuate portion of the brush frame.
