ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a hairbrush, more particularly to a hairbrush which has a brush seat provided with a plurality of slidable bristles thereto.
BACKROUND OF THE INVENTION
Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2
, a conventional hairbrush
10
is shown to include a handle body
13
with a brush seat
11
at one end thereof, and a plurality of bristles
12
.
As illustrated, the brush seat
11
is formed with a bottom portion llB. Each of the bristles
12
has a connecting portion
12
C connected securely to the bottom portion
11
B of the brush seat
11
, and a combing portion
12
B extending away from the bottom portion
11
B.
A drawback of the aforesaid conventional hairbrush arises when combing hair. Because the length of the bristles
12
is fixed, the bristles
12
that are located on two lateral sides of the hairbrush
10
can not fully reach the scalp
14
such that the user will have a feeling that his/her hair is not thoroughly brushed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of this invention is to provide a hairbrush which is clear of the aforesaid drawback that generally results from the use of the conventional hairbrush.
Accordingly, the hairbrush of the present invention includes a handle body, a flexible bristle retention member, and a plurality of bristles. The handle body is formed with a hollow brush seat on one end. The brush seat has a bottom wall, and defines a bristle accommodating space above the bottom wall. The bottom wall is formed with a row of bristle holes therethrough. The bristle retention member is disposed on the bottom wall inside the bristle accommodating space. Each of the bristles has a head portion connected to the bristle retention member, a middle portion that passes slidably through a respective one of the bristle holes, and a tip portion disposed outwardly of the bristle accommodating space.
