  • Patent number: 6513534
    Abstract: A hair dye dispenser 10 for dispensing a fluid hair dye includes a dispensing container 12 for containing and dispensing the hair dye. The dispensing container 12 has a base 14 and at least one side wall 16, together defining an internal volume. The base 14 has a substantially flat upper surface and a lower surface with a plurality of projecting tines 24. One or more dispensing apertures 26 are distributed across the base 14. A piston 28 is configured to fit closely in sliding abutment with the wall 16 so as to be sealingly slidable towards the base 14. The dispenser 10 also includes a housing 30 formed with a socket 32 for removably receiving the dispensing container 12. An actuation mechanism 34 is associated with the housing 30, and configured to displace the piston 28 towards the base 14, thereby dispensing the hair dye through the dispensing apertures 26.
