Patent ID: 7712176

Claim:
A hairbrush comprising a handle ( 1 ) and a head ( 2 ) that extends from said handle and comprises surface bristles ( 3 ) that are used to detangle, smooth and shape wet hair ( 11 ) during the performance of a styling operation using a dryer ( 8 ) generating a first air flow ( 9 ) in the direction of said head ( 2 ), said head ( 2 ) being at least partially hollowed out and having, at least in the area equipped with said bristles ( 3 ), through-holes including an inlet and an outlet, said through-holes running perpendicular or parallel to a longitudinal axis ( 4 ) of said brush, characterized in that the axes ( 6 ) of said inlet and outlet of said through-holes ( 5 ) form between them an angle of less than 90° so that the air propelled by said dryer ( 8 ) and circulating inside said head ( 2 ) emerges in the vicinity of said inlet through which said air entered, thus constituting a second flow ( 10 ) in a direction approximately opposite that of said first flow ( 9 ), characterized in that said head ( 2 ) comprises at least one recess ( 14 ) that runs parallel to a longitudinal axis ( 4 ) and is closed at two transverse ends ( 15 , 16 ) thereof and, disposed inside said recess in an approximately axial plane, an insert ( 17 ) composed of a longitudinal bar ( 18 ) whose ends ( 19 ) are fastened into the transverse end walls ( 15 , 16 ) of the head of said brush, the top edge ( 20 ) of said bar being located approximately in the virtual extension of the surface of the area of the head in which said recess is formed, while a bottom edge ( 21 ) is spaced apart from the bottom ( 22 ) of said recess, said bar ( 18 ) being extended transversely in the form of multiple, evenly spaced parallel branches ( 23 ) whose top edge ( 25 ) is located approximately in the virtual extension of the surface of the head and whose bottom edge rests against the bottom of the recess.
