Structure of negative ion hairbrush
Abstract
A negative ion hairbrush mainly comprises a comb holder and a
handle which are folded and pivoted in overlapping manner. The comb
holder contains a plurality of flexible or retractable combs and
the handle embraces a negative ion generator and a negative ion
outlet at the pivot joint directing the anion energy from the
generator flowing toward the combs when the comb holder and the
handle are in opening position. While the comb holder and the
handle are in folded position, the negative ion outlet is exposed
and the anion energy continues flowing outward so the negative ion
hairbrush is used as the hairbrush and as the air purifier. When
used as a hairbrush, the negative ion energy will neutralize the
cation charge to prevent the hair cell from decaying and the hair
from falling off.

Claims
What the invention claimed is:
1. A negative ion hairbrush is foldable mainly comprising a comb
holder and a handle, said the comb holder is planted with a
plurality of flexible or retractable bristles, said the handle
contains a negative ion generator with an outlet opened at the
joint, so the negative ion generated from the negative ion
generator will flow out of the outlet and toward the bristle while
the comb holder and the handle are in open position; when the comb
holder and the handle are in closed position, the outlet is still
exposed outside, allowing the negative ion flowing outward.
2. The negative ion hairbrush as claimed in the claim 1 in which
the back-side of handle recess a compartment to receive two pieces
of cell battery which supplies the DC power to the negative ion
generator.
3. The negative ion hairbrush as claimed in the claim 1 in which
the battery compartment has a removable cover for easy replacement
of exhausted cells.
4. The negative ion hairbrush as claimed in the claim 1 in which
the bottom end of the hairbrush has an exposed connector to be
linked to the terminal of the charger.
5. The negative ion hairbrush as claimed in the claim 1 in which
the electrical circuit of the negative ion generator constitutes a
on/off switch, 6 capacitors, 4 resistors, a transistor, a HF
transformer and two rectifiers to organize a high voltage
oscillator, a high voltage transformer, a rectifying multiplier and
a discharger polar; the battery or charger provides the DC power
required for the oscillator, transformer and rectifying multiplier
which in turn output the high voltage pulse current to the
discharging polar from there a great amount of negative ion is
generated and flows out of the outlet.
6. The negative ion hairbrush as claimed in the claim 5 in which
the switch is exposed to the outside of handle for easy operation
of the negative ion generator by the operator.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] This invention relates to new creation of hairbrush, in
particular, an integration of a negative ion generator to be
effectively employed in the hairbrush.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] In most cases, the hair combs are made of plastic material,
in hair combing, the friction creates great amount of cation, which
is likely deteriorate the hair cells and renders them to easy death
or causes the hair an easy falling off. This kind of trouble
requires an early way of improvement.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] To avert such a deadlock, the inventor has designed a
negative ion hairbrush. In operation, the negative ion generated
from the hairbrush will neutralize the most amount of cation charge
occurred in the comb friction to prevent the deterioration of hair
cells and the hair falling off as well as to remove the hair knot
caused by the over cation for easy combing. This is the key object
of this invention.
[0006] Another object of the invention is to provide a structure of
negative ion hairbrush where the handle has a compartment to
install the negative ion generator operated by DC power supply. The
negative ion energy, generated by the negative ion generator, has a
concentration of 100,000 negative ion contained in each C.C. at the
distance of 20 cm away from the outlet. When the concentration of
the negative ion reaches as high as 50,000 per C.C. it works as
sterilization and air purification. When the hairbrush is in folded
not in use, the negative ion outlet is still exposing to outside,
it works as a portable air purifier to be employed in the car to
avert the infection of the flu epidemic or the contraction of
bronchus by dust and pollen.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0013] Please refer to FIGS. 1 through 3, the negative ion
hairbrush mainly comprises comb holder 1 and handle 2, the comb
holder 1 planted with a plurality of flexible or retractable
bristles 11. When the comb holder 1 and the handle 2 are in open
manner, the bristle 11 will automatically jump upright for hair
combing. When the comb holder 1 and the handle 2 are folded
closely, the bristle 11 will retract to show a flat surface.
[0014] The handle 2 contains a negative ion generator 3 and an
outlet 21 at the joint which joined with comb holder 1, so the
negative ion energy generated in the negative ion generator 3 will
flow out of the outlet 21 while the comb holder 1 and the handle 2
are in open manner, and the negative ion flow will pass the
bristles 11 as shown in FIG. 4. When the comb holder 1 and the
handle 2 are in close manner, the outlet 21 is still exposing
outside and flow out the negative ion as shown in FIG. 1.
[0015] The back-side of handle 2 recess a battery compartment to
receive two batteries 4 which supplies DC power to the negative ion
generator 3. On the top of battery compartment, there is removable
cover 22 for easy replacement of batteries 4. The bottom end of the
handle 2 has a DC connector 23 to be linked to the charger 5 as
shown in FIG. 5, when the DC battery is turned off, the DC power
can be supplied via the connector 23 and the charger 5.
[0016] The circuit board of the negative ion generator 3 is
provided with a switch S1, six capacitors C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 and
C6, four resistors R1, R2, R3 and R4, a transistor Q1, a high
frequency transformer T1, two sets of diode D1 and D2 to organize a
high voltage oscillator, a high voltage transformer, a rectifying
multiplier and a discharging polar as shown in FIG. 6. The
batteries 4 or the charger 5 supplies DC power to high voltage
oscillator, high voltage transformer and rectifying multiplier
which output the high voltage pulse current to discharging polar to
generate a great amount of negative ion flowing out of the outlet
21. The main switch S1 of the negative ion generator 3 is exposed
outside on the handle 2 for the operator to turn on or off the
negative ion generator 3.
[0017] In physical practice, the hairbrush as provided in this
invention works twofold, as a hairbrush and as an air purifier. As
shown in FIG. 4, when the comb holder 1 and the handle 2 are
opened, the bristles 11 will automatically jump upright for hair
combing, meanwhile the on/off switch S1 turns on and controls
negative ion generator 3 in operating and a great amount of
negative ion is generated which coming out of the outlet 21 will
sweep over the bristles 11, as the operator moves the hairbrush
onward, the negative ion energy will certainly and neutralize the
cation when contacted. The cation is a culprit causing the death of
hair cell, hair falling off and the knot in combing operation.
[0018] When the comb holder 1 and the handle 2 are closed, the
outlet 21 is exposed, when the hairbrush is inserted into the
charger 5, the connector 23 of the hairbrush links to the terminal
of the charger 5 and the charger 5 is thereby inserted into the
socket of lighter 51 so the vehicular battery will supply the DC
power to the negative ion generator 3. So the on/off switch S1
controls negative ion generator 3 in operating and a great amount
of negative ion is generated. At this moment, the negative ion
generated will act as an air purifier to purify the air in the car
and sterilize the bacteria contained therein in an effort to
prevent the contraction of flu epidemic or the infection of dust
and pollen.
[0019] The hairbrush as provided in this invention is entirely new,
novel creature to achieve the prospective advance, fully justified
to grant a patent.
