Abstract
A fluid applicator has a rotatable handle attached to a handle on a fluid reservoir and a plunger which forces chemical from the fluid reservoir through an applicator tip for applying chemical to selected strands of hair.
Claims26
A fluid applicator for applying fluids to selected strands of hair, including a fluid reservoir having sides and bottom outside surfaces, first and second handle parts connected at one end, and a plunger, comprising:
- a fluid reservoir having inside walls which conforms to a radius swept by the plunger as the second handle part pivots around the second handle part where connected at one end;
- said first handle part connected to the reservoir;
- a reservoir lid;
- said second handle part connected to the lid and pivotally connected to the first handle part where connected at one end;
- said plunger connected to the reservoir lid and removably positioned inside the reservoir;
- an applicator tip connected to the side of the fluid reservoir;
- and
- a closure flap between the applicator tip and fluid reservoir;
- wherein fluid is directed to the applicator tip from the reservoir when the second handle part causing the plunger to force fluid within the fluid reservoir through the applicator tip while causing the closure flap to open to allow the fluid to flow from the reservoir to the applicator tip.
A fluid applicator for applying fluids to selected strands of hair, including a fluid reservoir having sides and bottom outside surfaces, first and second handle parts connected at one end, and a plunger, comprising:
- a fluid reservoir having inside walls which conforms to a radius swept by the plunger as the second handle part pivots around the second handle part where connected at one end;
- said first handle part connected to the reservoir;
- a reservoir lid;
- said second handle part connected to said reservoir lid and pivotally connected to the first handle part where connected at one end;
- said plunger connected to the reservoir lid and removably positioned inside the reservoir;
- a seal positioned on the plunger which engages said inside walls of said fluid reservoir;
- an applicator tip connected to the side of the fluid reservoir;
- and
- a closure flap between the applicator tip and fluid reservoir;
- wherein fluid is directed to the applicator tip from the reservoir when force is directed to the second handle part and lid causing the plunger to force fluid within the fluid reservoir through the applicator tip while causing the closure flap to open to allow the fluid to flow from the reservoir to the applicator tip.
An applicator tip for a fluid applicator used to apply chemical solutions to selected strands of hair, comprising:
- a tubular hollow body open on one end for admitting chemical solutions;
- a clover leaf opening through which strands of hair are drawn for applying the chemical solution;
- a plurality of fluid passages from the one end of the tubular hollow body to the clover leaf opening for admitting solution to the clover opening to evenly distribute fluid around the strands of hair being drawn through the clover leaf opening;
- and
- a V-shaped notch on another end of the tubular body extending from the another end to the clover leaf opening for admitting strands of hair to the clover leaf opening.
An applicator tip for a fluid applicator used to apply chemical solutions to selected strands of hair, comprising:
- a tubular hollow body open at one end for admitting chemical solutions;
- a comb structure having a plurality of teeth mounted at a first end on the tubular body;
- at least one clover-leaf shaped opening, including a plurality of openings associated with the clover-leaf-shape opening, near a second end of each tooth through which strands of hair are drawn for applying the chemical solution, said clover-leaf shaped opening including said plurality of openings for applying fluid around said selected strands;
- and
- a V-shaped notch extending from the end of each tooth to the said at least one clover-leaf shaped opening in the tooth.
A method for applying chemical solution to selected strands of hair on the scalp with an applicator having a reservoir for storing and dispensing the solution through a applicator tip located on the side of said reservoir, the hair and dispensing the solution, comprising the steps of:
- separating selected strands of hair from other strands of hair;
- drawing the selected strands of hair through said at least one opening of the applicator tip located on the side of the reservoir;
- and
- applying the chemical solution from the reservoir to the selected strands of hair while strands of hair are drawn through a multi-sided opening having a plurality of openings in the multi-side opening to evenly distribute the chemical solution around the selected strands of hair, and whereby the applicator is in close proximity to the scalp as the solution is applied.
