Antistatic grooming device for dissipation of electrostatic charges that may exist in the hair

Abstract

An antistatic grooming device, such as a comb or brush, whereby a portion of it contains static dissipative material—notably conductive polyethylene, sophisticated laminates with very thin metallized films, and other materials demonstrating similar properties—that will dissipate charge upon contact with strands of hair. The static dissipative material may be applied as a coating or incorporated in whole or in parts into the grooming device itself, as long as the static dissipative material can come into direct contact with the hair.

1 . What I claim as my invention is a antistatic grooming device in the form of a comb or hairbrush that is comprised in part or in whole of static dissipative materials.  
     
     
         2 . What I claim as my invention is a device as claimed in  claim 1 , that exhibits charge dissipation properties when in contact with hair.  
     
     
         3 . What I claim as my invention is a device as claimed in  claim 1 , where the static dissipative material can either be part of the substrate or added in the form of a coating.  
     
     
         4 . What I claim as my invention is a device as claimed in  claim 1 , where the antistatic material is imparted to the hair.  
     
     
         5 . What I claim as my invention is a device as claimed in  claim 1 , where the static dissipative material can remain permanently affixed to the comb or hairbrush and reused.
