Add-on hairbrush for pets, people and livestock that releases active ingredients

A hairbrush for humans, pets and livestock, comprising:

• a. a brush base with an end having a connection means integrated with a base aperture and a pathway leading into an internal cavity within said brush base, said internal cavity having a bottom surface with a first opening, and a top surface having a second opening, said second opening being appointed with a cover;
• b. an interchangeable flexible deformable membrane having bristle elements fixedly attached thereto and at least one spray element having a central spray aperture being integrated within said flexible deformable membrane;
• c. said first opening being adapted to receive said interchangeable flexible deformable membrane;
• d. a vessel housing a composition containing active ingredients;
• and
• e. said connection means of said end of said brush base being adapted to receive said vessel;
• and
• f. said vessel having an opening with a mating portion appointed for engagement with said connection means for attachment of said vessel to said brush base and transference of said composition containing active ingredients to said internal cavity of said brush base;
• whereby brushing hair with said hairbrush deforms said flexible deformable membrane and squeezes said internal cavity, releasing said composition containing active ingredients through said spray element in said interchangeable flexible deformable membrane into said central spray aperture for delivery into said hair;
• and
• whereby pressing said cover squeezes said internal cavity, releasing said composition containing active ingredients through said spray element in said interchangeable flexible deformable membrane into said central spray aperture for delivery into said hair even when said bristles of said brush are not in contact with hair.

A method for making a hairbrush for humans and pets that releases a composition containing active ingredients directly to hair or fur, comprising the steps of:

• a. forming a brush base having an end appointed with a connection means integrated with a base aperture and a pathway leading into an internal cavity within said brush base, said internal cavity having a bottom surface with a first opening and top surface having a second opening;
• b. producing a flexible deformable membrane having bristle apertures with bristles rigidly attached thereto;
• c. forming at least one head aperture within said flexible deformable membrane;
• d. inserting at least one spray element in said delivery aperture of said flexible deformable membrane, said spray element having a central spray aperture being aligned with said delivery aperture of said flexible deformable membrane;
• e. inserting said flexible deformable membrane into said first opening in said internal cavity;
• f. forming a vessel having an opening with a mating portion appointed for attachment to said connection means of said end of said brush base;
• g. filling said vessel with said composition containing active ingredients;
• h. attaching a cover into said second opening in said internal cavity, said cover having a control mechanism that acts in conjunction with a flow valve to allow said composition from said vessel to enter said pathway of said internal cavity and become transferred and housed within said internal cavity of said brush for delivery during brushing;
• whereby said flexible deformable membrane and cover create a leak-tight seal for said internal cavity in said brush base, and brushing hair or manually depressing said cover releases said liquid containing active ingredients to hair through said spray element.
