Abstract:
A hair brush system with a rapid, consistent, and efficient means for connecting and ejecting the brush handle from the brush head. The hair brushes feature a strong support member structure that gives the hairbrush strength while the handle and brush head are connected. The handle has a pair of barbed ejection fingers that engage and retain the brush head. When separation of the brush handle and the brush head is desired, the user depresses an actuator associated with each ejection finger. The compressed ejection finger has a tip that comes into contact with a conical protrusion in the brush head. The resulting action first disengages the brush head and then causes an outward force to be applied to the brush head thereby ejecting it from the handle.

Claim (Index 1):
A hair brush comprising:\n a brush head comprising a female opening, the female opening comprising a back wall, the back wall connected to a handle retaining structure, and a protrusion on the back wall, the protrusion extending toward the handle retaining structure; a handle comprising a male member configured to enter the female opening and connect with the handle retaining structure; the male member comprising a seat, a front wall, and an outer wall; the seat positioned distal to the front wall; the seat and the front wall connected by the outer wall; the front wall comprising an opening to receive the protrusion of the female opening; a pair of ejection fingers integrated with the handle; each ejection finger comprising a tip, a barb, and a slot formed between the barb and the seat; the outer wall comprising at least two openings exposing the barb and the slot of each ejection finger; the handle retaining structure comprising at least two barb openings and at least two slot engaging walls; at least two depressible actuators positioned on the handle and in mechanical contact with each ejection finger; the tip of each ejection finger is out of contact with the protrusion of the female opening when the male member is inserted into the female opening and when each barb is engaged with each barb opening of the handle retaining structure and each slot is engaged with the slot engaging wall of the handle retaining structure; and the tip of each ejection finger approaches and then contacts the protrusion of the female opening to eject the brush head from the handle after the barb is disengaged from the barb opening of the handle retaining structure and the slot is disengaged from the slot engaging wall of the handle retaining structure upon depressing the depressible actuators so that the tip of each ejection finger contacts and slides along the protrusion ejecting the brush head from the handle.
