A comb structure that includes a handle, and a hollow housing having a number of hollow teeth extending away from the handle. Communicating cavities in the handle and housing provide storage for a liquid ointment that can infiltrate out through holes at tip areas of the teeth. The comb structure can be drawn through fur on a live animal (pet) or fur on a leather pelt, such that the ointment is directed onto the skin surface of the animal or leather pelt, so as to prevent skin diseases or provide lubrication against fur loss or leather cracking. In one form of the invention the handle is adjustably connected to the tooth housing so that the structure can be used either in rake-like fashion or in comb-like fashion.

A comb structure for use on fur-bearing animals or fur-bearing animal skins, comprising a hollow tooth housing having a plural number of hollow teeth extending therefrom in a common tooth plane, and a handle-attachment surface facing away from the hollow teeth; each tooth having at least one liquid discharge opening therein the vicinity of the tip area of the tooth; an elongated rigid hollow handle adjustably attached to the hollow housing for manual movement of the teeth through animal fur; said handle having one end thereof overlying the attachment surface on the tooth housing; said one end of the handle having a transverse hole extending therethrough, said housing having a threaded opening (18) aligned with said transverse hole; a screw connector (20) extendable through said transverse hole into the threaded opening to connect the handle to the tooth housing; said screw connector forming the sole attachment connection between the handle and tooth housing; said handle being rotationally adjustable around the screw connector axis for adjustment between a first position extending crosswise of the tooth plane in a rake-like “T”configuration, and a second position extending generally within the tooth plane in a “comb”configuration; said handle and housing having communicating cavities therein for containment of a liquid ointment adapted for outflow through said liquid discharge openings.
