Abstract
A hair clamp adapter, and formulation delivery devices and formulation delivery systems with the hair clamp adapter attached thereto. A hair clamp adapter is configured for attachment to and use with a formulation delivery device to controllably and evenly apply a cosmetic composition, such as a viscous or thickly lathered composition, to strands of hair of an individual. The hair clamp adapter includes a first compressible substrate and a second compressible substrate configured for passage of composition expelled from the formulation delivery device therethrough, such that contact of the first and second compressible substrates evenly distributes the composition between the compressible substrates for even and reliable application to the hair.
Claims15
A hair clamp adapter configured for attachment to and use with a formulation delivery device to controllably apply a cosmetic composition to hair of an individual, the hair clamp adapter comprising:
- a moving handle slidingly attached to a moving arm that comprises a first compressible substrate thereon, and a stationary handle comprising a stationary arm that comprises a second compressible substrate thereon, wherein the moving arm is hingedly attached to the stationary arm via a hinge and is slidingly attached to the stationary handle;
- wherein the stationary arm and the second compressible substrate each comprises a plurality of apertures that are configured to align to form a plurality of formulation pathways for passage of the cosmetic composition therethrough;
- and
- wherein a bias of the hair clamp adapter biases the hair clamp adapter toward an unclamped configuration, and wherein when the bias is overcome the hair clamp adapter transitions toward a clamped configuration.
