Abstract
This invention is directed towards a hair comb which includes a fluid (e.g., hair oil) reservoir in the body of the comb. The fluid in the fluid reservoir is positively ejected under the influence of an air pump into the teeth of a comb. The fluid passes through an adjustable needle valve so that the feed rate to the teeth of the comb is precisely variable over a wide range. The fluid then passes around roller or ball bearings mounted in the teeth ends of the comb, for uniform distribution over the hair and scalp. The combination of a positive pressure fluid dispenser, and adjustable needle valve to control the positive flow of oil and distribution means, via roller bearings, provides an improved, precisely controllable, oil-reservoir hair comb with uniform fluid distribution.
Claims3
A fluid-reservoir hair comb comprising:
- a fluid reservoir;
- means for providing positive pressure within said fluid reservoir;
- a comb body;
- a plurality of teeth, each having a bore, fluid-connected to said comb body;
- a plurality of roller bearings, each of said roller bearings being mounted, for rotational movement only, within an outer end of each of said bores of said teeth;
- and
- an adjustable valve means which in its open position, fluid-connects said fluid reservoir body to said comb body to provide uniform flow of fluid, from said fluid reservoir, through said valve means, into said comb body and through each of said bores of said teeth to wet said roller bearing and dispense said fluid uniformly to a person's hair, and scalp by means of the rotational movement of said roller bearings.
