Abstract: |
A combined brush and comb having a body, brush tufts on an exterior surface of the body, a comb which may be adjusted for various angles with respect to the body of the brush and retractable handles for ease of gripping and positioning the brush and comb. The combination of the brush and comb has many practical advantages such as minimizing the possibility of losing the comb or not having it available when it is desired to use it with the brush, the advantage of having retractable handles which move into the body of the brush so as to save space, the advantage of packing one object, while traveling, instead of a separate brush and also a separate comb, the convenience of being able to keep the combined brush and comb in a desk drawer for a office worker or in a brief case for a person who visiting at another place of business and who wishes to freshen up immediately before entering the other place of business for an interview.
