  • Patent number: 8091559
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an applicator (1) which allows for precise, non-messy and even application of a hair treatment composition to a hair strand. The applicator (1) comprises a plate (10) movably joined by a connection (30) to a well (20) and at least one metering layer selected from non-wovens, foams or combinations thereof. The metering layer has a caliper of from 0.15 mm to 39.5 mm and a compressibility as defined herein of from 59% to 93%. The metering layer may be a first metering layer (50) and be laid upon the rim (222) of the well (20) or may be a second metering layer (60) and be laid upon the internal surface (101) of the plate (10), preferably along the perimeter (103).

  • Patent number: 6588964
    Abstract: A fluid applicator having a body with a fluid inlet in communication with a reservoir of fluid to be dispensed. The applicator further includes a plurality of applicator tines extending outwardly from an application area of the body, and the tines are at least partially flexible. Moreover, at least some of the tines include a fluid pathway. Additionally, the applicator further includes a handle portion generally above the application area. An actuator is located on the body adjacent the front end and generally above and off-center from the application area. The actuator is operably configured to selectively dispense a predetermined amount of fluid to the fluid pathways of the tines for accurate and consistent dispensing and application of the fluid to a target surface.
