ABSTRACT:
A lice comb device constructed as a portable, hand-held housing containing a blower heater, to heat and direct a stream of heated air toward a set of comb teeth attached to the housing. Each of the comb teeth is formed with a hollow cavity having an opening at its end. The heated air stream is directed via the comb tooth and exits at the opening, where it is deflected away from the scalp by a concave surface, so that it impinges on lice and lice eggs attached near the hair root. The temperature of the heated air destroys the lice and lice eggs. An exterior cooling jacket portion surrounding the interior housing portion provides a thermal barrier by conducting the flow of cooler air, allowing for safe handling of the comb housing. A chemical or natural agent may be placed in a receptacle in the housing, so as to introduce vapors in the heated air stream, with the vapors directed via the comb teeth to improve the lice-killing effects.
