Comb

Abstract

A comb ( 1 ) according to the present invention comprises: a comb body ( 2 ) that has a through hole ( 4 ) for a plating treatment; a plurality of comb teeth ( 5 ) and a proximal end part ( 6 ) located at a proximal end from which the comb teeth ( 5 ) extend; and a cover ( 3 ) made of metal for covering front and reverse surfaces and side surfaces of the proximal end part ( 6 ) inclusive of the through hole ( 4 ) from a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the proximal end part ( 6 ), wherein the cover ( 3 ) comprises a front surface part ( 3 a ) and a reverse surface part ( 3 b ) for covering front and reverse surfaces of the proximal end part ( 6 ), as well as a side surface part ( 3 c ), the distance between the front surface part ( 3 a ) and the reverse surface part ( 3 b ) is gradually decreased toward the distal end, and, in a state where the cover ( 3 ) is separated from the comb body ( 2 ), the distance between the front surface part ( 3 a ) and the reverse surface part ( 3 b ) at the distal end is less than the thickness of the side surface of the proximal end part ( 6 ).

1 . A comb comprising
 a comb body applied with a plating treatment on its surface and having a through hole for the plating treatment,   a plurality of comb teeth forming the comb body and a proximal end part located at the proximal end from which the plurality of comb teeth extends, and   a cover made of metal for covering front and reverse surfaces and a side surface of the proximal end part inclusive of the through hole from a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the proximal end part, wherein   the cover comprises a front surface part and a reverse surface part for covering the front and reverse surfaces of the proximal end part, as well as a side surface part for covering a side surface of the proximal end part,   the distance between the front surface part and the reverse surface part is gradually decreased toward their distal end, and   in a state where the cover is separated from the comb body, the distance between the front surface part and the reverse surface part at their distal end is less than the thickness of the side surface of the proximal end part.   
     
     
         2 . The comb according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the front surface part and the reverse surface part have both end side regions on both end sides along their longitudinal direction and a center region located between these two both end side regions,   the center region covers the proximal end part inclusive of the through hole, and   the distance between the front surface part and the reverse surface part in the both end side regions is the same as the thickness of the proximal end part.   
     
     
         3 . The comb according to  claim 2 , wherein
 a through hole vicinity region located in the vicinity of the through hole at the proximal end part covered by the central region is gradually reduced in thickness from the side surface of the proximal end part in the comb teeth direction.   
     
     
         4 . The comb according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the side surface part of the cover corresponding to the central region is formed narrower than the side surface part of the cover corresponding to the both end side regions, and   the side surface of the proximal end part corresponding to the through hole vicinity region is formed narrower than the other side surfaces.   
     
     
         5 . The comb according to  claim 1 , wherein
 protrusions to be inserted into the through hole are formed inside the front surface part and the reverse surface part.   
     
     
         6 . The comb according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a raised ridge protruding from the surface of the comb body is formed at the boundary between the cover and the proximal end part.
