Hair brush with a removable ceramic hair pick

Abstract

A brush has a head with a number of bristles connected to a handle with a distal end and a proximal end. The handle has a hollow interior and an aperture disposed in the distal end. The aperture is opposite the bristles and a hair pick removably disposed in the aperture. The hair pick has one or more portions that are made from a ceramic material.

1 . A brush comprising: 
 a handle having a proximal end, a distal end with an aperture and a hollow interior;    a plurality of bristles being opposite said aperture; and    a hair pick being disposed in said aperture, wherein said hair pick has one or more portions that are made of ceramic material.    
   
   
       2 . The brush of  claim 1 , wherein said hair pick is a substantially longitudinal member.  
   
   
       3 . The brush of  claim 1 , wherein said hair pick has a distal end and a proximal end and a bulbous member connected to said distal end.  
   
   
       4 . The brush of  claim 2 , wherein said hair pick has an elongated staff portion connected to a cylindrical portion.  
   
   
       5 . The brush of  claim 4 , wherein said cylindrical portion has a sheath, said sheath for selectively engaging said aperture of said handle.  
   
   
       6 . The brush of  claim 5 , wherein said cylindrical portion has a plurality of grooves disposed thereon.  
   
   
       7 . The brush of  claim 4 , wherein said cylindrical portion of said hair pick has a first diameter and said staff portion of said hair pick has a second diameter, said first diameter being greater than said second diameter, and wherein said aperture of said handle has a third diameter, said third diameter being complementary in size to said first diameter so that said hair pick is selectively engageable in said handle.  
   
   
       8 . The brush of  claim 5 , wherein said sheath is formed of an elastomeric material,  
   
   
       9 . The brush of  claim 1 , wherein said hair pick is formed entirely from a ceramic material.  
   
   
       10 . The brush of  claim 1 , wherein said hair pick has a base material with a ceramic coating on one or more portions of said base material.  
   
   
       11 . The brush of  claim 1 , wherein said hair pick is formed from a resilient material and has a layer on said resilient material, said layer being disposed over a portion of said hair pick, said layer being a ceramic material.  
   
   
       12 . The brush of  claim 1 , wherein said hair pick is formed from a resilient material and has a second layer, said second layer being disposed over a portion of said hair pick being selected from the group consisting of a staff portion, a hair pick handle, a tip, a bulbous gripping member, and any combinations thereof.  
   
   
       13 . A brush comprising: 
 a handle having a proximal end, a distal end with an aperture and a hollow interior;    a plurality of bristles being disposed substantially opposite relative to said aperture; and    a hair pick being selectively engageable in said aperture of said handle, said hair pick having a portion being made from a material that retains heat.    
   
   
       14 . The brush of  claim 13 , wherein said hair pick is ceramic and when heated assists in styling of hair.  
   
   
       15 . The brush of  claim 13 , wherein said hair pick emits heat for styling the hair.  
   
   
       16 . The brush of  claim 13 , wherein said hair pick retains ions for styling the hair.  
   
   
       17 . The brush of  claim 13 , wherein said hair pick retains infrared energy for styling the hair.  
   
   
       18 . The brush of  claim 13 , said hair pick has a thermally non-conductive material around said hair pick for grasping said hair pick.  
   
   
       19 . The brush of  claim 13 , further comprising a bulbous member disposed on an end of said hair pick for selectively disengaging said hair pick from said aperture.  
   
   
       20 . A hair pick comprising: 
 a bulbous member;    a cylindrical member being connected to said bulbous member, said cylindrical member having a coating disposed thereon, said coating being made from a thermally non-conductive material, said thermally non-conductive material being an elastomeric material, said coating having a plurality of grooves disposed thereon, said plurality of grooves being suitable to grasp and hold the hair pick; and    a staff portion being elongated and connected to said cylindrical member, said staff portion having a tip opposite said cylindrical member for picking hair, wherein the hair pick is made from a material for retaining an energy for an amount of time to style the hair, said energy being selected from the group consisting of an electric charge, infrared energy, thermal energy, and any combinations thereof.
