Comb

摘要

A comb having an elongate spine, a plurality of tines extending from the spine, and a guide for use in association with a scissors or a clippers. The guide has a shelf that is tapered in three dimensions from a first end towards a second end and has a widest point closer to the second end than the first end. The guide extends along a portion of the length of the spine and extends from the surface which is generally transverse to the longitudinal axis of the spine such that the scissors or clippers may be supported on the shelf as the scissors or clippers are moved in a horizontal direction.

1. A comb (10) configured to enable a user to achieve a scissors-over-comb or clippers-over-comb cutting action so that a user can cut a person's hair following the hairline to achieve a soft appearance rather than a shaven look, the comb (10) comprising an elongate spine (12) and a plurality of tines (16, 20) extending from the spine (12), characterised in that the comb (10) further comprises a guide (30) for scissors (50) or clippers (40) to slide along when cutting hair thereby facilitating steadiness of the scissors (50) or clippers (40), wherein the guide (30) extends along a portion of the length of the spine (12), wherein the guide (30) extends transversely from the spine (12) to form a shelf-like structure gradually extending from the spine (12) which enables a user to have the scissors or clippers correctly positioned over the comb (10) when performing scissors-over-comb or clipper-over-comb cutting action, the guide (30) having a first end (32) and an opposite second end (34), the guide (30) having a shape that is tapered in three dimensions from the first end (32) towards the second end (34) along said portion of the length of the spine (12), wherein the guide (30) has a widest point (36) positioned closer to the second end (34) of the guide (30) than the first end (32) of the guide (30), wherein a section thickness behind the shelf-like structure (30) has a hollow core (38), the guide (30) being integrally formed along the spine (12).
