Abstract
A device (1) for applying a hair product to tresses includes a tip (12) for separating a given tress (21) of a head of hair, rows of teeth (5) capable of being charged with a hair product, the application of the hair product to the separated tress being effected by bringing the tress into application contact at a given point of the tress with the teeth (5) and by displacing the teeth (5) relative to the tress from the given point towards the free end of the tress. A part (3, 13) of the device 1 keeps the tress in application contact with the teeth (5) during the whole of the displacement.
Claims20
A device for applying a hair product to tresses, comprising:
- an application member configured to a hair product to a tress by bringing a portion of the tress into application contact with said application member, said application member being displaceable relative to the tress in a direction towards a free end of the tress;
- a retaining element mounted relative to said application member so as to come into retaining engagement with said application member, said retaining element being configured to keep the tress in application contact with the application member during displacement;
- a separating element arranged adjacent said retaining element and configured to separate the tress from a remainder of the hair before treatment of the tress, said separating element being positioned on a first side of said remaining element;
- and
- a positioning member arranged adjacent said retaining element and in cooperation with said separating element, configured to ensure automatically a proper positioning of the separated tress relative to said application member, said positioning member being arranged on a second side of said retaining element, opposite to said first side.

A device for applying a hair product to tresses comprising:
- application means for applying a hair product to a tress, said application means being displaceable relative to the tress in a direction towards a free end of the tress;
- retaining means for keeping the tress in application contact with the application means during displacement;
- means for separating the tress from a remainder of the hair before treatment of the tress, and for positioning the tress relative to said application means;
- a first part having a first end carrying the application means;
- a second part carrying the retaining means and being articulated to the first part around an articulation perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the first part said articulation being located adjacent a second end of the first part;
- wherein said retaining means comes into engagement with the application means in a folded position of the first and second parts;
- and
- wherein said means for separating the tress includes a pointed element disposed adjacent to the retaining means, and also includes means for forming a rotational stop adjacent to a portion of the retaining means opposite to the pointed element.
