Abstract
A hair groomer thinning guide relates to a hair groomer whose casing comes with a <CUSTOM-CHARACTER FILE="US06618948-20030916-P00900.TIF" ALT="custom character" HE="20" WI="20" ID="CUSTOM-CHARACTER-00001"/>-shaped comb carrier featuring combing teeth as a thinning guide on the front end. Both the top and the bottom are equipped with a lengthy groove, with the groomer having a cylindrical switch on its top and a round-shaped adjustable knob on the bottom. The lengthy grooves on the top and bottom plates are fitted with a positioning claw and a braking claw, which are positioned correspondingly on both sides of the switch and the adjustable knob. By pressing the adjustable knob to separate the braking claw from the braking teeth, the comb carrier would then move in linear form back and forth to form irregular pitches between the combing teeth and the groomer, thus thinning the hair, and the comb carrier moves to the front end to turn in 180° forcing the comb face backward, thus freeing the thinning combing teeth.
