Comb

Abstract

A comb includes three rows of outer and inner comb teeth, and a pitch dimension of the inner comb teeth is narrower than pitch dimensions of the outer comb teeth. Each inner comb tooth is formed with a stepped part at an intermediate position in a protruding direction thereof, and a height of a tip end of each comb tooth are different from each other and a depth of a tooth bottom are also different from each other. By providing the three rows and the stepped part, hair is easily caught with each comb tooth entirely. As a result, resistance can be increased, suitable tension can be obtained, and backcombed hair can easily be formed. Moreover, the height and depth of each tooth of the inner comb teeth are differentiated to distribute the resistance, fewer sweater-pill-like portions are generated, and backcombed hair can be formed uniformly.

         7 . The comb in accordance with  claim 3 ,
 wherein rows of a plurality of comb teeth where the stepped part is not formed are formed parallel to and on both sides of the row of the plurality of comb teeth where the stepped part is formed,   wherein an interval of the comb teeth where the stepped part is not formed is larger than an interval of the comb teeth where the stepped part is formed, and   wherein any teeth of the rows of the plurality of comb teeth where the stepped part is not formed is formed at both sides of any teeth of the row of the plurality of comb teeth where the stepped part is formed.   
     
     
         8 . The comb in accordance with  claim 3 ,
 wherein the comb teeth where the stepped part is not formed are longer than the comb teeth where the stepped part is formed.   
     
     
         9 . The comb in accordance with  claim 5 ,
 wherein the comb teeth where the stepped part is not formed are longer than the comb teeth where the stepped part is formed.   
     
     
         10 . The comb in accordance with  claim 3 ,
 wherein the comb teeth where the stepped part is formed are longer than the comb teeth where the stepped part is not formed.   
     
     
         11 . The comb in accordance with  claim 5 ,
 wherein the comb teeth where the stepped part is formed are longer than the comb teeth where the stepped part is not formed.   
     
     
         12 . The comb in accordance with  claim 3 ,
 wherein some of the plurality of comb teeth where the stepped part is formed are longer than the comb teeth where the stepped part is not formed, and   wherein other comb teeth where the stepped part is formed are shorter than the comb teeth where the stepped part is not formed.   
     
     
         13 . The comb in accordance with  claim 5 ,
 wherein some of the plurality of comb teeth where the stepped part is formed are longer than the comb teeth where the stepped part is not formed, and   wherein other comb teeth where the stepped part is formed are shorter than the comb teeth where the stepped part is not formed.   
     
     
         14 . The comb in accordance with  claim 1 ,
 wherein the stepped part is formed so as to be exposed between the comb tooth and an adjacent comb tooth.
