Vibrating hair brush having isolator support system for controlled vibratory movement
First Claim
1. A vibrating hair brush for enhanced detangling of hair, comprising a head portion including a motor assembly for operating a vibrating actuator and a plurality of bristles depending from a bristle pad of the head portion, wherein the actuator is disposed for generating a vibrating movement of the bristles in a curvilinear direction within a plane generally parallel to the bristle pad.

Abstract
A vibrating hair brush provides enhanced detangling of user'"'"'s hair. The brush has a bristle pad comprising a plurality of bristles disposed in a brush head. The bristle pad is supported within the brush head by a vibrating motor and isolator assembly disposed for directing a vibratory movement of the motor to a bristle pad movement in a plane generally parallel to a user'"'"'s scalp. The motor and isolator assembly effectively translate a circular vibratory movement of the offset weight into an elliptical movement of the bristle pad while insulating the vibration caused by the movement of the weight from a handle of the brush.

17. A vibrating hair brush for enhanced detangling of hair, comprising a motor operating an actuator to move a plurality of bristles operatively connected to the motor such that a distal end of a majority of the bristles move in a curvilinear manner within a plane generally normal to a direction in which the majority of bristles extend.
- 18. A vibratory hair brush for enhanced detangling of hair, comprising a head portion including a vibrating actuator for inducing a vibrating movement in an actuator plane and a bristle pad having a plurality of bristles, wherein the bristle pad is associated with the actuator to vibrate the bristle pad in a curvilinear direction within a bristle pad plane generally parallel to the actuator plane.
