Haircut Blending Crown Comb

Abstract

A head mounted device with comb teeth for use with a clipper comprising a main body with an internal adjustment cord portion designed to go around the front or forehead of the head, a top support strap to go over the top of the head, the main body going from one edge of the forehead to the other, configured with mounting comb teeth extending from the main body, the main body has an inner soft ban that fits against the users head, the inner band when placed against the users head pushes horizontal pegs with screw attachments which cause the comb top to push out and the comb bottom to push in allowing the user to create a surface which will automatically angle a hair clipper for a blended haircut.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

Headgear with cutting combs to facilitate people who want to cut their own hair.

BACKGROUND

The present invention relates to a head mounted device with a mounting comb for use with clippers and, more particularly, configured to allow a user to get a blended cut, leaving the hair on the upper portion on the side of the head longer that the lower portion of the side of the head, the mounting comb includes a plurality of teeth. In addition, the teeth of the mounting comb according to the invention are preferably spread so as to facilitate the alignment and feeding of the hair, especially the long hair, with respect to the clipper cutting blade. In general, most of the currently used mounting combs include a group of teeth that extend away from the tooth area of the clippers. These teeth contact the skin of the head (or other area to be cut) to keep the cutting blade at a relatively fixed distance from the skin, thereby keeping the hair evenly long. The bottom edge of the mounting comb is typically pushed along the surface of the scalp so that the teeth guide the hair toward the hair clipper cutting blade. Different types of attachment combs that maintain the blade at different distances from the skin may be used to cut the hair to different lengths.

Accordingly, in view of the above problems, one object of the present invention is to provide an improved mounting comb for use with clippers that can provide greater control to the person cutting the hair, this is especially important when a person is cutting their own hair.

Another object of the present invention is to easily cut the hair to a uniform length by reducing the probability that the hair clipper assembly will be “oscillated” and consequently the hair will be cut to a non-uniform length. It is to provide an improved mounting comb capable of an even blended cut over the entire head.

The above objectives include a series of teeth with a lower peripheral surface with a special curvature configured to move comfortably along the head of the cutting subject. This is achieved by the head mounted device with comb teeth for use with a clipper of this invention.

SUMMARY

More specifically, the present invention provides a head mounted device with comb teeth for use with a clipper comprising a main body with an internal adjustment cord portion designed to go around the front or forehead of the head, a top support strap to go over the top of the head, the main body going from one edge of the forehead to the other, configured with mounting comb teeth extending from the main body, the main body has an inner soft ban that fits against the users head, the inner band when placed against the users head pushes out horizontal pegs with screw attachments which cause the comb top to push out and the comb bottom to push in allowing the user to create a surface which will automatically angle a hair clipper for a blended haircut.

Each of these teeth in this device includes a body portion that is delineated by an upper peripheral edge and a lower peripheral edge such that the lower peripheral edge of the tooth is in sliding contact with the head of the person being haircut. Finally, the teeth may spread outward as they extend away from the base portion, so that the hair being cut is aligned and directed to the hair clipper's cutting blade.

Other embodiments include: the comb teeth having curvature rather than being straight; having the comb teeth vary in width, wider on the top, narrower on the bottom; using screws rather than pegs with screws to adjust the angle of the comb teeth, and using clips or other fasteners rather than having the top support strap with a flexible hook end; the flexible front piece that can fold over itself; having the comb section removable so an alternate comb with different angles can be used; and having the top support strap and the flexible front piece removed.

The above and other features of the present invention and the manner in which they are obtained will become more apparent and best understood by referring to the following accompanying drawings.

PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION

• • 1. base
  • 2. teeth
  • 3 pegs that can move in and out
  • 4. inner soft ban that goes against the head and pushes the pegs outward when next to the head, which pushes the top of the teeth outward.
  • 5. top support strap that goes around the top of the head.
  • 6. flexible hook section of strap 5 that allows adjustment for head size.
  • 7. flexible front piece that can fold over itself on the end to adjust for head size.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring now to FIG. 1, it can be seen that a preferred embodiment head mounted device with comb teeth for use with a clipper according to the present invention includes a base portion 1 and a plurality of teeth 2. The head mounted device with comb teeth for use with a clipper is preferably molded from a plastic material, although other materials and manufacturing methods are also considered to be within the scope of the present invention. The base portion 1 of the head mounted device with comb teeth 2 operates by placing the device on a person's head, adjusting the top of the head strap 5 with the end folds into a flexible hook 6 which attaches to a flexible front piece 7 which can be folded over itself on one end to adjust for head size. The device has a soft inner piece 4 which is in excess of 0.25 inches in width, toward the inside of the device which rest against a person's head. When placed against a person's head the soft inner piece 4 pushes against the portion of the pegs 3 on the inside top of the device, pushing the top edge of the teeth 2 out, and the bottom of the teeth 2 toward the users head, which creates the angel required for giving a blended cut. The pegs 3 can be adjusted in and out to change the angle of the blended look

Claims

1. A head mounted device with comb teeth for use with a clipper comprising: a main body with an internal adjustment front piece designed to go around the front or forehead of the head, a top support strap to go over the top of the head; the main body going from one edge of the forehead to the other; configured with comb teeth extending downward from the main body; the main body has an inner soft band that fits against the users head; the inner band when placed against the users head pushes adjustable horizontal pegs with screw attachments which cause the comb teeth top to push out and the comb teeth bottom to push in.

2. The device of claim 1 where one set of comb teeth can be changed out with another set to change the length of hair being cut.

3. The device of claim 1 where the teeth have curvature.

4. The device of claim 1 where the teeth vary in width, wider on the top, narrower on the bottom.

5. The device of claim 1 where horizontal mounted screws are used rather than horizontal pegs with horizontal screws used to adjust the angle of the comb teeth.

6. The device of claim 1 where clips or other fastening devices are used to adjust the length of the top support strap and the flexible front piece.

7. The device of claim 1 with the comb section being removable.

8. The device of claim 1 without the top support strap.
