Improvements in Combs.
Year: 1897

page_text: I, EDMOND DELOT, of 15, Boulevard Saint-Denis, Paris, in the Republic of
France, Ladies' Hairdresser, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention has for its object to provide a comb adapted to dry and comb wet
hair simultaneously.
To this end I form my improved comb in two parts namely of a handle made of
wood and furnished with a metal stem in continuation thereof and of a metal comb
having a tubular back adapted to be slid into the said metal stem.
The inner end of the back of the metal comb is furnished with a spring blade
formed with a hole adapted to engage a pin on the handle and thus retain the comb
in position on the stem.
Across the handle is employed a pin adapted to be pushed against the said spring
blade for the purpose and lifting it off the pin on the handle and thus allow of
removing the comb.
When it is desired to use the comb the comb part is removed from the stem in
the manner described and the latter heated, after which the said comb part is
replaced and heated from the said stem by conduction.

Improvements in Combs.
I, EDMOND DELOT, of 15, Boulevard Saint-Denis, Paris, in the Republic of
France, Ladies' 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:
-
This invention has for its object to provide a comb adapted to dry and comb wet
hair simultaneously.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused
to be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures, Fig. 1 being a side view of a complete
comb constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 a view of the handle
without comb. Fig. 3 a side view and Fig. 4 a cross section at line x-y of Fig. 3
of the comb without its handle.

page_text: In carrying out my invention and referring to the figures generally I form my
improved comb in two parts namely of a handle A made of wood and furnished
with a metal stem B in continuation thereof and of a metal comb C having a
tubular back G, Figs. 3 & 4, adapted to be slid onto the said stem B.
The inner end of the comb back is furnished with a spring blade H formed with
a hole adapted to engage a pin E on the ferrule D of the handle A and thus retain
the comb C, G in position on the stem B.
Across the said ferrule and handle is employed a pin F adapted to be pushed
against the spring blade H for the purpose of lifting the latter off the pin F and
thus allow of removing the comb from the stem and handle.
When it is desired to use the comb, the comb part is removed from the stem
in the manner described and the latter heated, after which the said comb part is
replaced and then heated from the said stem by conduction or it may be previously
heated.
This comb is heated to such an extent that it will not burn the hair and only
dry it after having been wetted in washing the head.
By using the comb described, persons subject to pains, rheumatism or neuralgia
need not be afraid of washing their hair as it will be dried in a few minutes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1st. A comb adapted to dry wet hair, consisting of a handle having a metallic
stem adapted to be heated in combination with a metallic comb having a tubular
back adapted to be placed upon the said stem and be heated thereby by conduction,
all substantially as set forth.
2nd. The comb specified in the preceding claim constructed and operating sub-
stantially as set forth.
