In the case of hair brushes the arcuately shaped bristle members of which are studded with bristles, mounted in the side walls of a housing being U-shaped in cross section, are arranged in a plurality adjacently and with a distance from one another and are pivotable by means of a slide guided in the housing below these bristle members from a position of non-use into a position of use, this pivoting into the position of use and back into the position of non-use is complicated and time-consuming. This disadvantage is eliminated in that the slide has at its longitudinal edges edge cutouts facing one another, the bristle members resting between these edge cutouts on the slide in such a manner so as to be secured against unintended pivot movement. The slide can be approached with its edge cutouts to the ends of the bristle members by sliding movement in such a manner that the bristle members, by a sliding pressure by hand on the bristles, obliquely engage in the edge cutouts in the position of non-use. From this position the bristle members are pivoted, by moving the slide, into the initial position, i.e. the position of use of the bristles.

A hair brush comprising: (a) a housing including a pair of elongated members spaced from each other; (b) a plurality of arcuately shaped bristle support members spaced from each other and pivotally mounted at opposite ends on respective of said elongated members, a plurality of bristles projecting from one side of each of said support members, the surface of each of said bristle support members, opposite said bristles and adjacent the opposite ends of said bristle support members, being on opposite sides of a line transverse to said surface and passing through the pivotal axis of said support member; (c) a slide member slidable between first and second positions in said housing and having a surface for contacting at least a portion of the sides of each said plurality of bristle support members opposite said one side thereof for preventing pivotal movement of said bristle support members when said slide member is in said first position, said surface of said slide member adjacent said bristle support members having a plurality of cutouts at spaced intervals corresponding to the spaced intervals between said ends of said bristle support members, whereby when said slide member is in said second position said spaced cutouts register with said ends of said bristle support members permitting said bristle support members to be pivoted to positions wherein the bristles on each support member are oriented obliquely with respect to the bristles on adjacent support members; (d) whereby said bristles may be extended when said brush is in use and retracted when said brush is not in use.
