Abstract
A lice comb comprises a handle and a resiliently flexible elongated member having the end portions thereof connected to the handle and teeth mounted outwardly from the member and extending in the same plane as the handle. A manually movable cam member is mounted on the handle and contacts the member opposite the side holding the teeth and intermediate of the end portions to flex the member outwardly relative to the handle between a minimum flexure position wherein the teeth have a minimum spacing therebetween and a maximum flexure position wherein the teeth have a maximum spacing therebetween. As a result the comb can be used for different textures of hair and the teeth can be easily cleaned.
