(under subclass 11) Devices in which the space between adjacent teeth narrows in the direction in which the teeth project from the back.
(1) Note. This construction is usually given the teeth so that the hair may be gripped between the teeth to secure the comb thereto. To promote this purpose the teeth often have a hole through them so as to provide resilient side portions bowed toward adjoining teeth.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
144+, for combs having means other than or in addition to the interaction between adjoining comb teeth due to their configuration or resiliency for maintaining the comb and the hair in which it is inserted secured together.
156, for combs in which the teeth are mounted upon a resilient back so that on bending the back the teeth spread apart and on releasing the back after insertion in the hair the teeth return to grip the hair between them.
160, for combs having teeth obliquely relative to the line of the row or in which a tooth is curved or angled along its length.
