Set of varying size combs for hairstyling

Abstract

Broadly, one embodiment of the present invention is a set of combs, used for sectioning and styling, that includes a small-size comb, a medium-size comb, and a large-size comb that are precisely sized and clearly defined in terms of the precise size. Each comb includes a handle section and a comb section. The comb section includes a proximal outer tooth disposed proximal the handle section, a distal outer tooth disposed distal the handle section, and a number of widely spaced inner teeth disposed between the distal outer tooth and the proximal outer tooth, with the proximal outer tooth and the distal outer tooth each having a greater length than a length of each of the plurality of widely spaced inner teeth

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hairstyling set comprising:
 a small-size comb comprising a handle section and a comb section, with the comb section comprising: a proximal outer tooth disposed proximal the handle section, a distal outer tooth disposed distal the handle section, and a plurality of widely spaced inner teeth disposed between the distal outer tooth and the proximal outer tooth, with the proximal outer tooth and the distal outer tooth each having a greater length than a length of each of the plurality of widely spaced inner teeth;   a medium-size comb comprising a handle section and a comb section, with the comb section comprising: a proximal outer tooth disposed proximal the handle section, a distal outer tooth disposed distal the handle section, and a plurality of widely spaced inner teeth disposed between the distal outer tooth and the proximal outer tooth, with the proximal outer tooth and the distal outer tooth each having a greater length than a length of each of the plurality of widely spaced inner teeth; and   a large-size comb comprising a handle section and a comb section, with the comb section comprising: a proximal outer tooth disposed proximal the handle section, a distal outer tooth disposed distal the handle section, and a plurality of widely spaced inner teeth disposed between the distal outer tooth and the proximal outer tooth, with the proximal outer tooth and the distal outer tooth each having a greater length than a length of each of the plurality of widely spaced inner teeth.   
     
     
         2 . The hairstyling set of  claim 1 , wherein a distance between the proximal outer tooth of the small-size comb and the distal outer tooth of the small-size comb is approximately half an inch. 
     
     
         3 . The hairstyling set of  claim 2 , wherein a distance between the proximal outer tooth of the medium-size comb and the distal outer tooth of the medium-size comb is approximately an inch. 
     
     
         4 . The hairstyling set of  claim 3 , wherein a distance between the proximal outer tooth of the large-size comb and the distal outer tooth of the large-size comb is approximately 1.5 inches. 
     
     
         5 . The hairstyling set of  claim 1 , wherein the small-size comb, the medium-size comb, and the large-size comb each have visible indicia on the comb section thereof that identify the size of the respective comb. 
     
     
         6 . A comb comprising:
 a handle section and a comb section, with the comb section comprising: a proximal outer tooth disposed proximal the handle section, a distal outer tooth disposed distal the handle section, and a plurality of widely spaced inner teeth disposed between the distal outer tooth and the proximal outer tooth, with the proximal outer tooth and the distal outer tooth each having a greater length than a length of each of the plurality of widely spaced inner teeth.   
     
     
         7 . The comb of  claim 6 , wherein a distance between the proximal outer tooth and the distal outer tooth is approximately half an inch. 
     
     
         8 . The comb of  claim 6 , wherein a distance between the proximal outer tooth and the distal outer tooth comb is approximately an inch. 
     
     
         9 . The comb of  claim 6 , wherein a distance between the proximal outer tooth and the distal outer tooth comb is approximately 1.5 inches. 
     
     
         10 . The comb of  claim 6 , further comprising visible indicia formed on the comb section that identifies the size of the comb.
