Improvements in Hair Brushes.
I CAMILLO GIACOMO BIAGGIO RIGOLA of No. 5 The Avenue, Bournemouth
in the County of Hants Hairdresser do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
I have observed that the use of whalebone brushes (i.e. brushes the acting part
of which is formed of filaments of whalebone) is much more conducive to a healthy
condition of the skin of the head than the use of ordinary brushes such as bristle
brushes and I have also observed that the use of whalebone brushes is less directly
beneficial to the hair than the use of ordinary brushes. Now the object of my
invention is the production of a brush the use of which will be beneficial alike to
the skin of the head and to the hair and this object I attain by forming the acting
part of a hair brush partly of filaments of whalebone and partly of bristles or
filaments or fibres of any of the other materials heretofore ordinarily used in the
manufacture of brushes.
In making a brush according to my invention I arrange the filaments of
whalebone in clusters or tufts alternating with clusters or tufts of bristles or
filaments or fibres of the other materials hereinbefore referred to or I arrange the
filaments of whalebone and the bristles or filaments or fibres of the other materials
in alternate rows of clusters or tufts or I otherwise arrange the filaments of
whalebone in combination with or dispose them among bristles or filaments or
fibres of the other materials. I prefer that the filaments of whalebone and the
bristles or filaments or fibres of other materials in different parts of the brush or in
the several clusters or tufts or rows of clusters or tufts shall be of different lengths
but I do not limit myself thereto.

Improvements in Hair Brushes.
I CAMILLO GIACOMO BIAGGIO RIGOLA of No. 5 The Avenue Bournemouth
in the County of Hauts Hairdresser do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
I have.observed that the use of whalebone brushes (i.e. brushes the acting part
of which is formed of filaments of whalebone) is much more conducive to a healthy
condition of the skin of the head than the use of ordinary brushes such as bristle
brushes and I have also observed that the use of whalebone brushes is less directly
beneficial to the hair than the use of ordinary brushes. Now the object of my
invention is the production of a brush the use of which will be beneficial alike to
the skin of the head and to the hair and this object I attain by forming the
acting part of a hair brush partly of filaments of whalebone and partly of bristles
or filaments or fibres of any of the other animal or vegetable materials heretofore
ordinarily used in the manufacture of brushes.

whalebone in clusters or tufts alternating with clusters or tufts of bristles or
filaments or fibres of the other materials hereinbefore referred to or I arrange the
filaments of whalebone and the bristles or filaments or fibres of the other materials
in alternate rows of clusters or tufts or I otherwise arrange the filaments of
whalebone in combination with or dispose them among bristles or filaments or
fibres of the other materials. I prefer that the filaments of whalebone and the
bristles or filaments or fibres of other materials in different parts of the brush or in
the several clusters or tufts or rows of clusters or tufts shall be of different lengths
but I do not limit myself thereto.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing is a side view Figure 2 is a face view and
Figure 3 is an end view of a hair brush illustrating the form and general contour
which I prefer for the acting part of a brush made according to my invention.
Although the form illustrated in the said figures is that which I consider to be the
most advantageous for brushes embodying my invention yet I wish it to be
understood that I do not limit myself to the said form or to any particular form or
contour and I would observe that I make no claim in respect of the mere form or
contour of the brush or to the use of different lengths of filaments and bristles
or fibres in different parts of a brush.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim as my said invention of "Improvements in hair brushes" is
The manufacture of hair brushes substantially as hereinbefore described that is
to say forming the acting parts of such brushes partly of filaments of whalebone and
partly of bristles or partly of filaments of whalebone and partly of any of the other
animal or vegetable filaments or fibres heretofore used in the manufacture of
brushes.
