Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispensing brush. More specifically, the present invention relates to a dispensing brush having a reservoir for retaining a predetermined fluid, such as a hair-coloring product. The predetermined fluid is dispensed through dispenser apertures .
  • Thiruppathi U.S. Patent No. 5,927,290 teaches dispersing liquids onto the hair by way of a spray pump and nozzle incorporated within a hairbrush.
  • spray nozzles such as those disclosed therein, accommodate liquids of moderate viscosity, rather than more viscous fluids that may be needed in hair coloring, for example.
  • a spray nozzle may cover an area larger than required, leading to excess use of the liquid, and a lack of control over dispersal .
  • the brush includes a hollow, refillable reservoir for storing the, fluid to be dispersed, and a plurality of dispersal openings communicating with the reservoir.
  • the device of the present invention evenly disperses a predetermined fluid onto a head of hair or a scalp without need of manual regulation by the user.
  • the hairbrush is designed to use gravity in the dispensing process rather than the pumps or controls seen in known devices.
  • a predetermined fluid such as a hair colorant, is preferably added to the device through a fill aperture in one end of the brush.
  • the fill aperture is in fluid communication with the brush reservoir. Once the reservoir is filled, the aperture may be closed with a plug or other stop means thereby retaining the fluid in the reservoir.
  • the brush further includes a top surface and a bottom surface .
  • the top surface preferably includes a plurality bristles extending normal to the top surface, and a plurality of dispenser openings.
  • FIGURE 2 is a top plain view of the dispensing brush seen in Figure 1.
  • FIGURE 3 is a partially exploded, longitudinal section of the dispensing brush seen in Figures 1 and 2, and taken along line 3 - 3 of Figure 2.
  • FIGURE 4 is an end view of the dispensing brush seen in Figures 1 - 3.
  • FIGURE 5 shows the dispensing brush of Figures 1 - 4 in use with on a head of hair.
  • FIGURE 6 shows the dispensing brush of figures 1 - 5 and a head of hair after application of fluid by the dispensing brush.
  • FIGURE 7 is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment of a dispensing brush according to the present invention.
  • the dispensing brush 10 includes a handle portion 12 and a head portion 14, and may be fabricated from any suitable material such as plastic, metal, wood, or other rigid material.
  • the handle portion 12 may be of any shape that allows for easy manual gripping of the dispensing brush 10 and includes a proximal end 16 and a distal end 18.
  • the head portion 14 of the dispensing brush 10 has a first end 15 and a second end 17.
  • the head portion 14 of the dispensing brush 10 is connected to the proximal end 16 of the handle portion 12 at the first end 15 of the head portion 14.
  • the head portion 14 further includes at least a top surface 20 and a bottom surface 19, with the top surface 20 holding a plurality of bristles 22 and further including a plurality of dispenser openings 24.
  • the handle portion 12 and the head portion 14 as shown are fabricated from one piece of material, but it is to be understood that the dispensing brush 10 may be fabricated from multiple parts, if desired.
  • a fill aperture 26 is preferably located at the second end 17 of head portion 14.
  • a plug 28 removably engages the aperture 26, thereby allowing a predetermined fluid, such as a hair coloring fluid, to be placed and retained in a reservoir 30 (shown in Fig. 3) within the head portion 14.
  • the reservoir 30 is preferably in fluid communication with the dispenser openings 24 and the fill aperture 26.
  • Figure 2 shows a top plan view of the dispensing brush 10.
  • the dispenser openings 24 are preferably located on the top surface 20 of the head portion 14 and are centrally situated between multiple linear rows of bristles 22, with the linear rows of bristles 22 being aligned along the central, longitudinal axis of the dispensing brush 10.
  • FIG. 3 a section view of the dispensing brush 10 is shown as taken along a central, longitudinal axis. As seen, dispenser openings 24 are preferably in fluid communication with the reservoir 30.
  • the dispenser openings 24 each include a respective longitudinally extending collar portion 40, which is elevated above the top surface 20 of the head portion 14. While each of ⁇ the dispenser openings 24 is shown having a collar portion 40, it is to be understood that the dispensing brush 10 may include at least one dispenser opening without the collar portion- 40.
  • the respective collar portions 40 of the dispenser openings 24 are preferably elevated a predetermined height above the top surface 20 of the head portion 14. The predetermined height is preferably approximately 0.125 inches (0.3175 cm) , although it is to be understood that the present invention may be practiced using greater or lesser heights, depending on user preference.
  • the height of the collar portions 40 above the top surface 20 could be greater than 0.125 inches (0.3175 cm), but a less viscous fluid may not dispense evenly if the height is much less than 0.125 inches (0.3175 cm).
  • the collar portions 40 function to inhibit uncontrolled liquid dispersal from the dispenser openings 24.
  • the entire height of the dispenser openings 24, from the reservoir 30 to the top of a respective collar portion 40 is preferably 0.25 inches (0.635 cm). This height allows adequate control of a predetermined fluid during passage from the reservoir 30, to exit onto a head of hair (See Figs. 5 and 6). Again, although 0.25 inches (0.635 cm) is preferable, the height may be decreased or increased according to the viscosity of the fluid used, or user preference.
  • Figure 4 shows an end view of the dispensing brush 10 viewed from the second end 17. of the head portion 14.
  • the reservoir 30 is aligned with the dispenser openings 24 along the center of the dispensing brush 10.
  • the dispenser openings 24 are symmetrically located between the rows of the multiple linear rows of the bristles 22.
  • the fill aperture 26 is also aligned with the reservoir 30 for facile filling with a predetermined fluid (not shown) .
  • the fill aperture 26 preferably includes a diameter 26A of at least approximately 0.25 inches (0.635 cm) in diameter for a viscous fluid to properly enter the reservoir 30.
  • the fill aperture diameter 26A may be more than approximately 0.25 inches (0.635 cm) in diameter, but it is not recommended for the aperture diameter 26A to be much less than approximately 0.25 inches (0.635 cm) in diameter for applicable flow of a viscous fluid.
  • the dispensing brush 10 is shown in use to apply a predetermined fluid 38 to a head of hair 36.
  • the dispensing brush 10 is brought through the hair 36 with the bristles 22 facing towards the hair 36.
  • the predetermined fluid 38 is dispensed through the dispenser openings 24 and onto the hair 36.
  • the fluid 38 is left behind on the hair 36 (See Fig. 6) .
  • the design of the bristles 22 around the openings 24 and the height of the collar portions 40 above the top surface 20 allow the fluid 38 to be evenly dispersed over the head of hair 36, as is shown by the streaks of the fluid 38 in Fig. 6.
  • the head of hair 36 is evenly treated with the fluid 38, with relative ease on the behalf of the user.
  • Figure 7 shows a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the present invention wherein the fill aperture 26 is located on the bottom surface 19 of head portion 14.
  • the plug 28 preferably removably engages the aperture 26 with the reservoir 30 in fluid communication with the dispenser openings 24 and the fill aperture 26.
  • the shape of the handle and head of the brush may be changed while still being within the bounds of the invention.
  • the length and width of the brush may be modified, and the number of bristles and openings, and the size of the fluid reservoir may be modified as deemed necessary.
