HAIR STYLING TOOL WITH MOVABLE DIVIDERS

摘要

A hair styling tool having a plurality of bristles and one or more movable members extending radially outward from the core and movable between opposing positions is provided. The movable members move between a retracted position where the divider is fitted between and even with or slightly above or slightly below the bristles to engage the hair and an extended position where the divider is moved out beyond the bristles to disengage the hair from the bristles. The hair styling tool having the movable member which engages and disengages the hair with the bristles minimizes tangling of the hair while brushing. The hair styling tool may be a rotating brush optionally equipped with a motor.

主权项

1. A hair styling tool comprising:
a) a handle; b) a core having a longitudinal axis and attached to the handle; c) a plurality of projections extending radially outwardly from the core at a first fixed distance from the longitudinal axis, wherein the projections extend substantially along the length of the core; and d) at least one pair of movable members comprising a first movable member and a second movable member and positioned at opposing sides of the core and connected through the core with a connector, the first movable member and the second movable member each extending radially outward from the connector to a distal end having a distal surface, wherein the distal surfaces of the moveable members extend substantially the length of the projections, and wherein the pair of movable members move together between opposing positions, the opposing positions comprising:
(i) a retracted position wherein the movable member distal surface is distant radially from the longitudinal axis at a second distance that is less than the first distance, and(ii) an extended position wherein the movable member distal surface is distant radially from the longitudinal axis at a third distance that is more than the second distance, wherein the pair of movable members move together between opposing positions such that when the first movable member moves from its extended position to its retracted position, the second movable member moves together with the first movable member from its retracted position to its extended position, and when the second movable member moves from its extended position to its retracted position, the first movable member moves together with the second moveable member from its retracted position to its extended position so that the movable members push hair away from the projections to keep hair from tangling in the projections as the movable members move to their extended position.
