A fluid delivery means disperses fluid from the reservoir throughout the wand to effect even distribution of the fluid throughout the hair. The fluid delivery means comprises a series of conduits and/or a porous material. Teeth and/or fins are formed upon the wand such that the wand may be moved through the hair in a comb-like fashion to effect transfer of the fluid thereto. An absorbent covering may optionally be formed over the wand intermediate the teeth or fins to further enhance the even distribution of fluid. A plug or seal preferably closes the reservoir, thus providing a fluid cartridge. Thus, various cartridges may be installed upon the wand to effect application of various desired fluids to the hair.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1992Date of Patent: September 6, 1994Inventor: William D.

Patent number: 5337764Abstract: A dispensing comb for applying a fluid to the hair has a body with a plurality of teeth formed thereon and at least one, preferably two, fluid reservoirs removably attached to the body such that fluid communication is provided from the reservoirs to the teeth. The two reservoirs have thin seals which rupture when the two reservoirs are interconnected such that two different fluids contained therein intermix. Attachment of the two reservoirs to the comb body similarly causes the puncture of a seal to facilitate fluid communication of the mixed components through the comb to the teeth thereof. In a first embodiment, a pin disposed upon the first reservoir punctures a seal in the second reservoir and two fluids then intermix via a bore in the pin. A similar pin, disposed upon the body, punctures a similar seal in the first reservoir to effect fluid communication from of the mixture from the two reservoirs to the teeth of the comb.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1992Date of Patent: August 16, 1994Inventor: William D.

Patent number: 5333627Abstract: A container 3 contains fluid to be applied to human hair. A plunger 5 is movably mounted in the container 3 and moves the fluid towards a dispenser and of the housing. An expulsion base is mounted on the dispenser end of the housing. This expulsion base defines a plurality of container channels. A removable dispenser head is mounted on the expulsion base and the dispenser then defines a plurality of head channels. These head channels are substantially aligned with the container channels at one end of the dispenser head. The head channels are distributed along another end of the dispenser head. A spreading device is positioned at the another end of the dispenser head and receives fluid from the dispenser head and spreads out the fluid on the hair.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1993Date of Patent: August 2, 1994Inventors: Ricardo F. Mehringer, Hugo A. Bardon, Augusto P. Pozzetti

Patent number: 5311887Abstract: A comb for combing an individual's hair or scalp and applying a liquid to the individual's hair or scalp includes a reservoir connected to comb base and a plurality of comb teeth connected to the comb base. Liquid is disposed in the reservoir, passed through the comb base and through the comb teeth where the liquid is dispensed through the tooth outlets in the comb teeth. The reservoir, the comb base and the comb teeth are transparent so that the liquid and the dispensing of the liquid may be observed. The reservoir, the comb base and the comb teeth are constructed of a microwaveable material so that the comb may be disposed in a microwave for heating the liquid. The reservoir has a flat upper end so that the comb may be supported on the flat upper end of the reservoir in a storage position of the comb.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1992Date of Patent: May 17, 1994Inventor: Floyd W. Ramsey

Patent number: 5297882Abstract: A brush dispenser designed to emit a controlled amount of liquid through and out the ends of or other opening in the middle set of bristles. Selection of the number of bristles being used as conductors can be achieved by adjusting the shaft to which cams are connected. Control of the amount of liquid flowing through the selected bristles can also be achieved by adjustment of the shaft to which the cams are connected. The liquid is contained in a removable container in the handle of the brush. Finger pressure on the removable container activates the liquid flow. A cutout in the handle allows the fingers to contact the liquid-holding container.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1993Date of Patent: March 29, 1994Inventor: James R. Kornides
