Abstract
An apparatus, method, composition, and system for coating of the skin of a person with a fluid. In one aspect, the apparatus includes a relatively small, lightweight framework that supports a reservoir for containing a tanning solution, a plurality of misting heads for simultaneously dispensing relatively short, gentle misting bursts of the tanning solution upon operation of actuators.
Claims75
An apparatus for applying a fluid to a persons'skin comprising:
- a. a framework;
- b. a plurality of misting heads mounted on the framework;
- c. a conduit in fluid communication between the misting heads and a reservoir of said fluid;
- d. an actuator operatively connected to the misting heads adapted to cause a controlled in time and quantity gentle burst of said fluid in misted form to move out from the misting heads and then fall by gravity.
A method of applying a fluid to the human body comprising:
- a. creating a gentle burst of misted fluid;
- b. positioning the body so that the gentle burst falls by gravity onto a portion of the body.
A composition for artificial tanning consisting essentially of:
- a. water;
- b. DHA in solution in the water at between 5 and 15%.
A kit for artificial tanning consisting essentially of:
- a. an artificial tanning apparatus comprising
- i. a framework;
- ii. a plurality of misting heads on the framework;
- iii. an actuator adapted to operate the misting heads to issue bursts of misted artificial tanning solution limited in pressure, time, and quantity;
- iv. a control circuit for controlling the actuator;
- b. a quantity of artificial tanning solution, the solution consisting essentially of:
- i. water;
- ii. DHA in the range of 5 to 15% in solution in the water;
- c. instructions for use of the apparatus and solution.
An apparatus for application of a fluid to a person or animal comprising:
- a. a framework;
- b. a plurality of misting heads mounted on the framework, the misting heads comprising manual push type spray heads with resilient return to normal position;
- c. a conduit in fluid communication between the misting heads and a reservoir of said fluid;
- d. an actuator operatively connected to the misting heads adapted to cause a controlled in time and quantity gentle burst of said fluid in misted form to move out from the misting heads and then fall by gravity without any substantial enclosure to contain the burst;
- the actuator comprising a electrically powered component adapted to move a member to depress the spray heads and release the spray heads to return to normal position;
- e. an application area under or adjacent the misting heads;
- f. a control circuit operatively connected to the actuator.
A tanning apparatus for coating the skin of a person, comprising:
- a reservoir for containing a tanning solution;
- and actuators that, when activated, depress press down bars that in turn press down on misting heads, releasing tanning solution, with no containment of the misted solution.
A method of artificial tanning, comprising:
- activating a hand or foot control to spray tanning solution with no containment of the solution, drying off between sprays in front of air jets;
- and rotating the body between sprays to expose uncoated skin.
A method of artificial tanning, comprising:
- activating an automatic control system that sprays tanning solution, with no containment of the solution;
- drying off between sprays in front of air jets;
- and rotating the body between sprays to expose uncoated skin.
A tanning apparatus for coating the skin of a person, comprising:
- a plurality of misting heads for delivering tanning solution to at least one tanning zone of the person;
- and the apparatus without structure for substantial recovery of the tanning solution.
A visual screen, which comprises:
- a frame constructed to cover an artificial tanning system;
- a sheet of material fit to the constructed frame with openings of sufficient size and number to allow artificial tanning fluid to be emitted from a dispensing apparatus;
- and a fanciful design applied to the sheet of material.
