UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SAYIUEL TAYLOR, Of HOUSTON, TEXAS.
HAIR-DRYING BRUSH.
990,314. Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. 25, 1911.
Application filed March 21, 1910. Serial No. 550,692.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL TAYLOR, a citi-
zen of the United States, residing at Hous-
ton, in the county of Harris and State of
5 Texas, have invented certain new and useful
Improvements in Hair-Drying Brushes, of
which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to new and useful
improvements in hair drying brushes.
10 The object of the invention is to provide a
device of this character that will effectually
dry the hair after shampooing or washing
the same, yet not burn the scalp.
Another object of my invention is to pro-
15 vide means whereby a number of the teeth
of the device may be heated, and the re-
mainder will remain relatively cool, the cool
ones contacting with the scalp while the
heated ones are brought in close proximity
20 to but do not touch the scalp.
Finally the object of the invention is to
provide a device of the character described
that will be simple, comparatively inexpen-
sive to produce, practical and easily manipu-
25 lated.
With the above and other objects in view
my invention has relation to certain novel
features of construction and operation, an
example of which is given in this specifica-
30 tion and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings, wherein
Figure 1 is a view of the brush in perspec-
tive. Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof, par-
tially opened and Fig. 3 is .a view in perspec-
35 tive of the portion to be heated with the
handle broken away.
Referring now more particularly to the
drawings, wherein like numerals of reference
indicate corresponding parts in each of the
40 figures, the numeral 1 refers to the back guard
member which is secured to the brush proper
2, by a suitable hinge 3. The body portion
of member 1 carries a fringe of teeth 4 and
projecting therefrom is also a plurality of
45 finer teeth 5. Intermediate the ends of mem-
ber 1 is a section 12 of preferably hard rub-
ber which is grooved to receive handle 6 of
member 2 and also form an extension of grip
7, of member 2, and form a complete handle
50 for the device.
Upon the free end of member 2 is a plate 8
with which wires 9 communicate and throughwhich a current of electricity is to pass and
heat the said plate and the teeth 10, carried
thereby. These teeth 10, are shorter than 55
the teeth 4 and 5 so that when heated they
will not come in contact with the scalp but
be held away from the same by teeth 4 and B.
A series of perforations, 11 are provided
in the plate 8 so that teeth 5 may pass there- 60
through in order that they may assist in
separating the hair.
A device of this character constructed in
accordance with this specification and the
drawings accompanying the same and made 65
a part hereof, will be found to be simple,
easily manipulated and cheaply constructed.
What I claim is:-
1. A hair drying brush comprising a guard
portion carrying teeth upon its free end, a 70
brush portion carrying a plate and teeth
upon its free end, the former being adapted
to receive the latter and means for securing
the said portions together.
2. A hair drying device comprising a 75
guard portion carrying teeth upon its free
end, a brush portion hingedly connected to
the first mentioned portion, said second por-
tion carrying a plate upon its free end, teeth
carried by said plate, means for conducting 80
a heating element to said plate, and the teeth
carried thereby, the teeth of said guard be-
ing longer than the teeth of said brush por-
tion so as to prevent the heated teeth from
contacting with the surface over which the 85
device is to be passed.
3. A hair brush comprising a guard por-
tion carrying teeth upon its free end, a
brush portion carrying a plate and teeth
upon its free end, the former being adapted 90
to receive the latter and means for securing
the said portions together and means for
conducting electricity to the said plate and
teeth carried thereby.
4. A hair drying brush comprising an 95
outer and inner portion; teeth carried by the
inner portion; means for conducting an elec-
tric current to said teeth, the teeth, carried
by said outer portion, projecting beyond the
teeth of the inner portion, when closed and 100
means for hingedly securing the said por-
tions together.
5. A brush, as described composed of a
guard portion and a brush portion hingedly
