Abstract
A foldable hair brush includes a hollow elongated handle having an elongated opening therein for receiving a brush portion hingedly connected at one of its ends to the handle. A flange depends from the brush portion at one end thereof and extends between a bi-furcated end portion of the handle at which the brush portion is hingedly connected to the handle portion. A pin socket is connected to the distal end portion of the flange and hingedly receives a hinge pin connected across the bi-furcated end portion of the handle so that bristles extending from the brush portion can be moved from an open position through the elongated opening into the hollow interior of the handle for storage purposes. When the brush portion is disposed in a common plane with the handle portion for using the hair brush, the bi-furcated end portion provides great lateral stability for the unit. Detents are provided to maintain the hair brush in its open position, and another set of detents are used to maintain the hair brush in its closed or storage position.
