Comb assembly

Abstract

A comb assembly includes a comb body having a plurality of teeth. The plurality of teeth form a first row and a second row on the comb body. The comb assembly also has an insert that selectively connects to and disconnects from the comb body in between the first row of the plurality of teeth and the second row of the plurality of teeth so that the comb can be used with or without the insert.

1 . A comb assembly comprising:
 a comb body having a plurality of teeth, the plurality of teeth forming a first row and a second row on the comb body; and   an insert that selectively connects to and disconnects from the comb body in between the first row of the plurality of teeth and the second row of the plurality of teeth so that the comb can be used with or without the insert.   
     
     
         2 . The comb assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the comb body has a head portion connected to a handle portion. 
     
     
         3 . The comb assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the comb body has the plurality of teeth formed on the head portion. 
     
     
         4 . The comb assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of teeth each have a wavy shape. 
     
     
         5 . The comb assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of teeth include first end teeth on a side of the head portion that is opposite the handle portion that have a shape that is different than other of the plurality of teeth and only have a wavy shape on one side. 
     
     
         6 . The comb assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the plurality of teeth include second end teeth on a side of the head portion that is adjacent the handle portion that have a shape that is different than other plurality of teeth and only have a wavy shape on one side. 
     
     
         7 . The comb assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the head portion has a middle wall formed between the first row of the plurality of teeth and the second row the plurality of teeth having a slot that is formed at an end of the middle wall that is opposite the handle portion. 
     
     
         8 . The comb assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the slot is formed between the middle wall and first end teeth that are on a side of the head portion that is opposite handle portion. 
     
     
         9 . The comb assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the slot has a first slot portion with a first width that is greater than a second width of a second slot portion. 
     
     
         10 . The comb assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the head portion has a lower wall that extends from an end of the middle wall that is adjacent the handle portion. 
     
     
         11 . The comb assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the insert has a plurality of pins that extend from an insert support. 
     
     
         12 . The comb assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the insert support has a support body with a length that is greater than a width and a depth. 
     
     
         13 . The comb assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the insert support has an extension that extends from the support body that is sized to fit in a slot of a head portion of the comb to connect the insert to the comb. 
     
     
         14 . The comb assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the insert support has a protrusion that is sized to fit in a lower wall of the comb. 
     
     
         15 . The comb assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the insert support has a support body that is made of plastic and the plurality of pins are each metal. 
     
     
         16 . The comb assembly of  claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of pins is straight and has a thickness that is thinner than each of the plurality of teeth of the comb. 
     
     
         17 . The comb assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the insert has spacing having a distance between each of the plurality of pins that is less than a distance between each of the plurality of teeth of the comb. 
     
     
         18 . The comb assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the insert is a sliding insert so that the insert is slidingly received in between the first row of the plurality of teeth and the second row of the plurality of teeth where the plurality of teeth are fixed, wavy comb teeth. 
     
     
         19 . The comb assembly of  claim 11 , wherein adding the insert with the plurality of pins to the comb body, an overall configuration of the plurality of teeth that are wavy bristles and the plurality of pins is such that a gap for the hair to pass between adjacent pins of the plurality of pins and/or the plurality of teeth is narrowed.
