The hair styling tool may comprise a styling head connected to an elongated handle by a cylindrical shaft, and a cosmetic jar that is threadedly secured to the base of the handle. The cosmetic jar is configured to store hair cream, lotion, or another cosmetic product therein. In some implementations, the hair styling tool may include a brush portion and a comb portion positioned on opposite sides of the styling head. In this way, depending on the type of hair and/or style, the user may select the appropriate styling tool (i.e., the brush portion or the comb portion) for styling their hair.
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/610,561, which was filed on Dec. 27, 2017, and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
TECHNICAL FIELDThis disclosure relates to implementations of a hair styling tool with a removable cosmetic jar.
BACKGROUNDThe fashioning of hair is an aspect of personal grooming that is common throughout the world. Frequently, hairbrushes and combs are used to detangle and style hair. The type of brush and/or comb used to complete a particular hairstyle is selected based on the how the hair is to be styled, the presence of hair tangles, length of hair, hair thickness, etc. As such, many individuals find the need to use more than one hair styling tool. Further, many hair styles require the use of a cosmetic product such as hair cream, hair gel, etc.
Therefore, a person might need to carry a wide assortment of styling tools and cosmetic products to style their hair and/or to maintain their hairstyle. This can lead to problems such as countertop or handbag clutter, and misplaced styling tools and cosmetic products.
Accordingly, it can be seen that needs exist for the hair styling tool with a removable cosmetic jar disclosed herein. It is to the provision of a hair styling tool with a removable cosmetic jar that is configured to address these needs, and others, that the present invention in primarily directed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONImplementations of a hair styling tool with a removable cosmetic jar are provided. The hair styling tool may comprise a styling head connected to an elongated handle by a cylindrical shaft, and a cosmetic jar that is threadedly secured to the base of the handle. In some implementations, the hair styling tool may include a brush portion and a comb portion positioned on opposite sides of the styling head. In this way, depending on the type of hair and/or style, the user may select the appropriate styling tool (i.e., the brush portion or the comb portion) for manipulating their hair.
In some implementations, the brush portion may comprise grouped bristles that extend from a first exterior surface of the styling head and the comb portion may comprise a series of single and spaced apart teeth which extend from a second exterior surface of the styling head.
In some implementations, the base of the handle may include a recess therein that is configured to threadedly engage with a proximal end of the cosmetic jar. In this way, the cosmetic jar may be threadedly secured to the base of the handle.
In some implementations, the cosmetic jar may comprise a bottom having a cylindrical sidewall extending upwardly therefrom, the proximal end of the sidewall being threaded. An interior space for containing a cosmetic product is defined by the bottom and cylindrical sidewall of the cosmetic jar.

In some implementations, the hair styling tool 100 may be configured so that a cosmetic product contained within the cosmetic jar 140 does not leak therefrom when the cosmetic jar 140 has been secured to the base of the handle 130 (i.e., the junction between the cosmetic jar 140 and the base of the handle 130 may be watertight). In some implementations, the recess 132 of the handle 130 and/or the proximal end 148 of the cosmetic jar 140 may be configured to prevent a cosmetic product contained therein from leaking through the junction therebetween (e.g., an O-ring may be positioned about the proximal end 148 of the cosmetic jar 140).
In some implementations, the cosmetic jar 140 may be secured to the base of the handle 130 using the following steps:
Initially, the proximal end 148 of the cosmetic jar 140 may be positioned adjacent the base of the handle 130.
Then, the cosmetic jar 140 may be twisted so that the proximal end 148 thereof engages with the screw thread located within the recess 132 of the handle 130. In this way, the cosmetic jar 140 may be secured to the handle 130 of the hair styling tool 100 (see, e.g.,
