Publication number: 20230200525Abstract: A material treatment device intended for use for human or animal hair includes a plurality of rods arranged circumferentially as part of a rod barrel and a handle attached to the rod barrel for rotatable support thereof. A mechanism is provided to rotate the rod barrel in a first direction and a second mechanism is provided to rotate each of the rods separately from the rod barrel in a second direction opposite the first direction. The material being contacted by the rods during use of the hair treatment device rolls away from the contacted rod in the second direction or permitting each of the rods to freely spin during rod barrel rotation. The device can also include bristles that move with respect to the rod barrel or are fixed thereto, the bristles moving with the rod barrel rotation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventor: Franklin ELLIOTT

Patent number: 11083270Abstract: A device for selectively entraining hair strands from the scalp has at least one hooking applicator, the at least one hooking applicator employing a hook that rotates to entrain the hair strands, a hair color container having hair color therein and a way to apply the hair color to the entrained hair stands. The at least one hooking applicator forms a channel between a surface of the hook and a surface of a body portion of the at least one hooking applicator having a hair color outlet therein to better accommodate high viscosity liquid hair color. The hook and/or the at least one hooking applicator includes a recess to hold entrained hair and permit hair color to fill the recess for application. A trigger mechanism first rotates the hook to entrain hair strands and then squeezes the hair color container to apply hair color to the entrained hair.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2016Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: F. G. Elliott LLCInventor: Franklin Elliott
