  • Publication number: 20040177858
    Abstract: A hair dye applicator device includes a collapsible fluid container for containing a liquid dye, a one-way valve in communication with the open end of the fluid container for allowing egress of the liquid dye, and a compressible air container encasing the fluid container. The fluid container includes an open end for allowing egress of the liquid dye. The air container includes an open end for receiving the fluid container and a one-way valve for allowing air into the air container. As the air container is compressed by a user, the fluid container collapses to force the liquid dye out of the fluid container.
