Hairspray applicator

A spray applicator for applying spray to the hair of a person without the build-up of excess spray fumes, said applicator comprising:

• a generally cone-shaped funnel adapted to be easily moved around the head of a person, said funnel having an outlet end of sufficient diameter to provide a space between said cone and the hair of said person, said outlet portion including a generally curved concave base section adapted to contact the head, neck, or face of said person to protect said person from direct contact with said spray,
• holding means attached to said cone-shaped funnel for holding a source of said spray having a spray nozzle, said holding means being adjustable for securely holding spray sources of differing sizes,
• activation means attached to the inlet end of said cone-shaped funnel, said activation means including a pliable member providing a seal at the inlet end of said funnel and being depressible against said spray nozzle for activating said source of spray, said source of spray extending into said activation means so that, upon activation of said source of spray, said spray will be released into the inlet end of said funnel and will travel toward the outlet end of said cone-shaped funnel, and
• an exhaust port located in said cone-shaped funnel through which fumes generated from said spray exit said funnel, said cone-shaped funnel being transparent to allow a visual examination of the spraying operation.

A spray applicator for spraying a person's hair while exhausting fumes which occur during spraying, comprising:

• a lightweight generally cone-shaped funnel having an inlet end at which said spray enters said funnel and an outlet end through which said spray exits to be applied to a person's hair, said inlet end being generally sealed with a pliable end member having an opening therein through which a spray container having an output nozzle extends such that its output nozzle is located adjacent said inlet end of said funnel, said pliable end member being pliant to allow depression thereof to activate the nozzle of said spray container for the release of spray into said funnel, the outlet end of said funnel having a diameter of a size which allows said outlet end to enclose a substantial portion of the head of said person to allow the application of spray to a desired section of a person's hair, said outlet end having a generally curved concave portion thereof which allows the outlet end of said funnel to be closely held against the person's head, neck, or face, thereby substantially preventing spray from striking areas of the person other than where said spray is intended to be applied,
• an exhaust port located in said funnel through which fumes developed by said spray are exhausted from said funnel, and
• holding means attached to said funnel for holding said spray container so that said output nozzle of said spray container is located adjacent said inlet opening to said funnel, said holding means including adjustable means for holding spray containers of differing sizes.
