Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a fluid dispensing device that includes a dispensing bristle for selectively dispensing fluid onto an application surface. In an illustrative example, the fluid dispensing device may include a tapered cylindrical valve for flow control. For example, upon applying a predetermined pressure, the tapered cylindrical valve may be opened, allowing the fluid dispensing device to dispense a small amount of fluid (e.g., medicine, soap, shampoo, coconut oil, plant extract combinations) onto an application surface. Various embodiments may advantageously allow a user to dispense a selective amount of the medicine to the scalp.
Claims10
A dispensing apparatus comprising:
- a first housing;
- a second housing coupled to the first housing to form a cavity configured to receive a fluid;
- a plurality of hollow bristles, each defining a fluid communication channel in fluid communication with the cavity;
- and,
- a plurality of dispensing bristles extending out of the cavity through the fluid communication channels in a stowage mode, the plurality of dispensing bristles connected to a common gusset configured to deform in response to a predetermined force such that, when the predetermined force is applied to at least one of the plurality of dispensing bristles, the at least one dispensing bristle is operated into a dispensing mode within at least one corresponding fluid communication channel of the plurality of hollow bristles such that the fluid is dispensed from the cavity through the at least one corresponding fluid communication channel.
