Abstract: A device and method is provided for the removal of foreign elements and smaller particles from hair and scalp. The device has two sets of parallel interleaving teeth where adjacent teeth can be separated to allow easy removal of foreign matter trapped between the teeth, effectively reducing the time required to perform the cleaning action.

Abstract: A parting comb that parts a user's hair in a straight line is provided. The parting comb may include a first comb and a second comb pivotally attached together. The parting comb may be placed within a user's hair and the first comb and the second comb may be pivoted away from each other to part the hair.

Abstract: A hair apparatus and hair retention method includes a spine having a longitudinal axis, wherein the spine includes a hole and a peg outwardly protruding from an edge of the spine and substantially along the longitudinal axis of the spine. The spine includes a plurality of protrusions outwardly projecting orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the spine. The hair apparatus further includes a first clip portion including a first connecting mechanism that non-integrally connects the first clip portion with the spine, wherein the first connecting mechanism is positioned at a first end of the first clip portion. The first clip portion includes a first attachment mechanism positioned at a second end of the first clip portion, wherein the first end is at an opposite end from the second end, and thereby the first connecting mechanism and the first attachment mechanism are positioned at opposite ends of the first clip portion.

Abstract: A tree stand, for attaching onto a tree and creating an elevated platform thereon, comprising a platform having a pair of side members, a pair of seat supports pivotally attached to the platform, a bracing system for fixing an angle between the platform and side members, and a pair of upper levelers and a pair of lower levelers. The lower levelers extend from the side members and adjust to the contours of the tree. The upper levelers extend from the seat supports and further aid adjustment to the contours of the tree. The bracing system is adjustable to adjust the angle between the platforms and seat supports. A seat assembly is mounted to the seat supports and provides height adjustment to the user. The adjustability of the upper levelers, lower levelers, and bracing system help ensure that a horizontal platform can be achieved despite trees of varying configurations and lean angles.

Abstract: A hair grip has two elongate one-piece jaws connected by a spring-loaded hinge and delimited by two respective first longitudinal edges, two respective other longitudinal edges. The respective other longitudinal edges each carry spaced curved penetrating teeth extending the jaw on the side opposite the first edges and concave sides of which face toward the teeth of the other jaw to penetrate the hair. These pluralities of penetrating teeth conjointly form a longitudinal succession of pairs of teeth of each respective plurality of teeth. The longitudinal succession of pairs of teeth includes at least one pair of bearing teeth whose end areas are disposed and oriented to rest on or slightly below the surface of the hair, and at least one pair of penetrating teeth offset from each other along said other longitudinal edges of the jaws and which can cross over to penetrate in the hair.

Abstract: A hair fluffing device comprising two comb like elements pivotally interconnected such that in the unstressed condition the teeth of one of the combs lie substantially along and between the teeth of the other comb. There is a resilient member mounted between the holding parts of the two combs to cause the teeth of the combs to separate when pressure is applied to the holding parts.
