![]() 4-6 is identical to that identified by reference numeral 10 and described while referring to FIGS. 4-6, a hair collecting plate 28 is coupled to the hairbrush 20. ![]() In accordance with the improvement of FIGS. 2 by simply sliding plate 10 axially and downwardly along the bristles 2 so as to lie flush against the brush head 6. To reuse the hairbrush 1 after cleaning, the hair collecting plate 10 is returned to the at-rest position of FIG. Thus, the hairbrush 1 is quickly and easily cleaned without having to remove the hair 14 strand-by-strand. That is, by sliding the hair collecting plate 10 axially and upwardly along the bristles 2, the hair 14 that is distributed among the bristles 2 is collected and moved to a common location atop brush 1 at which the hair may be efficiently and completely removed. 2 which are trapped among the bristles 2 during the brush strokes are collected and carried away from the brush head 6 by relocating the hair collecting plate 10 to the brush cleaning position of FIG. The strands of loose hair 14 shown in FIG. 2, the hairbrush 1 is used in the usual manner for grooming either humans or animals. The buttons 8 are applied to the bristles 2 by any suitable method including a process of first dipping the ends of the bristles 2 in a bath of hot plastic melt and then removing the bristles from the bath to permit the plastic to cool.Äuring use, with the hair collecting plate 10 initially in the at-rest position of FIG. The thickness of each bristle 2 is less than the thickness of the button 8 carried thereon. Affixed to the opposite end of each bristle 2 is a smooth, generally spherical button 8. One end of each bristle 2 is secured to the brush head 6. The bristles 2 are individually arranged in generally spaced, parallel alignment with one another. ![]() However, the bristles 2 may also be manufactured from a relatively rigid material should the brush be used specifically for grooming animals. 1-3, the bristles 2 are manufactured from a flexible plastic material so that the bristles may bend during the brushing strokes. Typically, the handle 4 and head 6 of hairbrush 1 are manufactured from plastic, although the material used to form hairbrush 1 is not to be regarded as a limitation of this invention.
