Improvements in Hair Combs.
1, WILLIAM BALLIN HINDE, of the Firm of Hindes Limited, of Metropolitan
Works, Bromsgrove Street, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in hair combs iny object being to construct
a comb having the ends of the teeth so formed as to prevent the liability to scratch
or injure the head that exists with combs of the usual construction.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the teeth of my improved comb
preferably from round or other metallic wire and secure the same to the back of
the comb in any ordinary manner. At the extremity of the teeth I form spherical
or ball ends and smooth and polish the surfaces of the same in order that there
shall be no sharp points or projections to scratch or injure the head of the user
during combing of the hair. I so form the ball or spherical ends that they cause no
inconvenience and do not in any way impair the efficiency of the comb.
I do not limit the application of my invention to a comb of any particular
pattern but adapt it to the construction of pocket combs and other ordinary or
special patterns.

Works, Bromsgrove Street in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer, 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 :-
This invention relates to the manner in which I construct the ends of comb
teeth or wires in order to prevent scratching or injury to the head.
In carrying my invention into effect I form my improved comb teeth preferably
from round or other metallic wire and secure the saine to the back of an ordinary
comb or to a brush or like stock in any well-known manner, as shown at Figures 1
and 2 on the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings. At the extremity of
the teeth I form spherical or ball ends as A and smooth or polish the surfaces of
the same in order that there shall be no sharp points or projections to scratch or
injure the head of the user. I so form the ball or spherical ends that they cause
no inconvenience or obstruction but permit of the teeth or wires being readily
drawn through the hair.
I do not limit the application of my invention to comb teeth or wires of any
particular pattern but adapt it in the construction of any ordinary or special form
that may be required.

tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-

tially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and as illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.
