Also, the ratchet rod 21 is preferably extended to have a predetermined absorbing space so that the lower end of the ratchet rod 21 absorbs the hairdye and the oxidizer on the lower sealing caps 13 and 14, and the hairdye and the oxidizer in each compartment are transferred, in an extruding manner, and gathered to one single mixing chamber 30 through a cavity of the ratchet rod 21.
In the meantime, the mixing chamber 30, as shown in
As shown in
Also, a central cavity 411a into which the fitting end 401 of the mixing member 40 is fit, for preventing idle rotation, is formed on the head part 411 of the valve 41 for rotating the mixing member 40, and a hooking protuberance 412 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the valve 41, and a hooking groove 421 of the ratchet wheel 42 is joined to this hooking protuberance 412. Here, the ratchet wheel 42 is mounted on the supporting tube 43 on the lower side, for being rotatable in one direction only.
In the meantime, the ratchet wheel 42 is always given downward elastic force by an elastic member 44 and stuck on and supported by the lower supporting tube 43. At the moment, the ratchet wheel 42 having a protuberance 422 for preventing reverse rotation on its rear side, is engaged with a protuberance 422 for preventing reverse rotation formed on the front side of the supporting tube 43, so that the ratchet wheel 42 is always rotated in one direction only.

Therefore, the button part 50 includes a pressing piece 51; pushing pieces 52 and 53 respectively extended from the pressing piece 51 and having ratchet gears 521 and 531 for being engaged with the ratchet wheels 24 and 42 in order to rotate them in one direction; an elastic member 55 for elastically operating the pressing piece 51. Also, a decorating cover 511 is additionally provided on the outside of the pressing piece 51.
At the moment, as shown in
Referring to
Also, as shown in
Process for dyeing a hair using the dyeing tool of the present invention having the foregoing construction will be described in the following.
Firstly, at the status that the hairdye and the oxidizer for use in dyeing are stored, in a general manner, in each compartment 11 and 12 of the container 10 through the lower cap 13a and 14a, after cork of the container is removed, the plastering tool 60 including the mixing member 40 is forcibly pushed into and joined to the joining tube 15a of the cover body 15 by a user as shown in
At that status, if the pressing piece 51 of the button part 50 elastically installed on the elastic member 55 is pressed forward along an arrow direction with the container 10 taken with one hand as shown in
Therefore, the ratchet rod 21 extended to the inside of each compartment 11 and 12 is rotated by rotation of the ratchet wheel 24, whereby each piston 25 and 25a installed on the ratchet screw 21b is gradually moved to the downward of the compartments 11 and 12 as shown in
Also, the hairdye and the oxidizer extruded into the mixing chamber 30, are uniformly mixed by the mixing member 40 rotated in one direction by the valve 41 that is being rotated simultaneously with the pressing of the button part 50. After that, such mixed hairdye and oxidizer is provided to the exhausting path 62 of the plastering tool 60, and uniformly spouted out to the comb 64 through each rib-shaped cavity 641 and dyeing process is finally performed through combing operation of the comb 64 (Refer to
In the meantime, upon pressing of the button part 50, the protuberances 24b and 422 for preventing reverse rotation, of the ratchet wheels 24 and 42 are engaged with the protuberances 22b and 433 for preventing reverse rotation correspondingly formed on the relevant supporting cap 22 and the supporting tube 43, and each ratchet wheel 24 and 42 is forcibly supported by the elastic members 26 and 44, so that reverse rotations of the ratchet rod 21 and the valve 41 are prevented and extrusion and mixing operations are smoothly performed.
Therefore, the hairdye and the oxidizer accommodated in each compartment 11 and 12 are extruded into the mixing chamber 30 through descending motion of the pistons 25 and 25a by operation of such button part 50, and simultaneously the hairdye and the oxidizer uniformly mixed by the mixing member 40 is provided to each comb 64 of the plastering tool 60, whereby dyeing is possibly performed.
When one time of dyeing is completed, the mixing member 40 is separated from the cover body 15 of the container 10 as shown in
The reason the plastering tool 60 should be separated from the container 10 is that if the mixed hairdye and oxidizer stained on the plastering tool 60 is left alone as it is, the hairdye and oxidizer will be oxidized and not be possibly used afterward. Therefore, if the plastering tool 60 and the container 10 are stored and kept separately, each transferring tube 31 of the mixing chamber 30 is sealed by the head part 411 of the valve 41 raised by elastic force of the elastic member 44 upon separation of the plastering tool 60, so that the unmixed hairdye and oxidizer remaining in the inside of each compartment 11 and 12, are repeatedly reusable. Also, after dyeing, the separated plastering tool 60 is washed with warm water and possibly reused.
As is apparent from the foregoing, according to the present invention, the first and the second dyeing agents could be separately stored in the inside of one single container, and if necessary, the dyeing agent could be simultaneously extruded and mixed by button operation and supplied through ribs, so that dyeing process could be performed by combing in a more simple and convenient manner. Also, upon separation of the plastering tool, extrusion of the hairdye and the oxidizer in each of the compartments is automatically stopped, so that reuse of the hairdye and the oxidizer is possible until their complete consumption. In the meantime, the plastering tool is separated from the container and washed with warm water, so that waste of dyeing agent is reduced.
While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. For example, though the structure for joining the plastering tool 60 to the joining tube 15a is of forcibly fitting type, the structure may be changed to screw joining type, and also the mixing member 40 is possibly changed to variety of forms except those shown in
