Description

Fluid delivery system

The present invention relates to a kind of induction system, relate in particular to and be used for the compositions of hair conditioning and/or nursing skin of head being applied to induction system on hair and/or the skin of head, but this is not to be unique aspect with timesaving, controlled, mode that cleaning is orderly.

In hair-dyeing nursing, need accurately to control flowing of hair rinse, and can accurately lock will be by the painted zone of hair rinse.

Use with operating process in also need to make dirty and messy minimizing, thereby can in painted whole zone, obtain uniform distribution of color by hair rinse.

It is believed that then above-mentioned these purposes can more easily reach if induction system can make hair dye can both be transferred under any moment, any orientation in the hair dyeing processing procedure.

US-A-4209027 discloses a kind of hair care devices, and this device has been used two kinds of materials that need be mixed together before contiguous using.One in these materials is maintained in the internal container, and this internal container is placed in the body of the external container that accommodates another material.For with two kinds of material mixing, first container need be staved, manual operation subsequently is discharged to first material in second material.Subsequently, external container itself will place in the extrusion bottle, and squeeze bottle has the flapper valve that the control air flows into squeeze bottle.This design allows first material and second material externally to mix in the container, so that be emptied completely subsequently.But when externally container was drained, this design can not make win material and second mixtures of material all be output under any orientation.

JP (UM)-A-7-22951 discloses a kind of bottle and has contained bag-type container, and this container can be under all orientation orientations be carried the hair conditioning liquid through spout or the comb that is installed on the spout, but this hair nursing liquid is not to make at the scene.

But, according to a first aspect of the invention, provide a kind of induction system, comprising:

(a) hold first container of first material;

(b) hold second container of second material, second container can be configured to be communicated with first vessel liquid, thereby makes second material can be added in first material, but in first container, to form flow composition;

(c) be used for mechanically producing the user acting device of pressure reduction, but so that all flow compositions that will be discharged from can under any orientation, from first container, discharge.

Preferably, the invention enables two components of hair dye to mix at the scene, and in the hair dyeing processing procedure, can under any at any time orientation hair dye be exported subsequently.

Preferably, first container have at least the part be to make by material transparent and/or elastically deformable plastic material.

First container comprise storage device and with the perforate of storage device fluid connection, the effect of the inlet that is used for second material is being played in perforate at first, but play the effect of the outlet of flow composition subsequently again, second material is added in first material effectively by pouring into thus.

Preferably, storage device comprises can collapse flat layer of inside, and this layer separates with the outside deformable layer of first container.The flat layer that can be able to be collapsed in inside is peeled off from outside deformable layer gradually by layering.Preferably, can collapse flat layer and form flexible pouch in inside.

Perforate extends through the intubate-intubate that is installed in first container neck and has annular flow path around the tubular member that defines perforate, and described passage is communicated with the relief area air that can collapse in inside between flat layer and the outside deformable layer.

, tubular member enters the storage device of first container if extending beyond the cervical region of first container, the part that tubular member is arranged in storage device can be the form of stay pipe, this stay pipe is installed on the intubate, stay pipe is open in the cross section, with provide to small part be inflexible passage, but flexible pouch collapse flat in flow composition can pass these passages.

For in the process of mixing first material and second material (preferably by rocking) flexible pouch is used restraint, stay pipe can have enough length, make stay pipe away from the free end of intubate near the free end of flexible pouch away from first container neck, but contact with it.

The cervical region interference fit of the intubate and first container, and removable lid is sealed shut perforate, till the moment that will be configured to be communicated with first vessel liquid up to second container.

Preferably, giver is installed on first container, but to promote flow composition from first container, to discharge.Giver comprises integrally-built valve member, but the operation of this valve member can to air in first container, promptly to inside can collapse that the inflow of flat layer outer fix is controlled and to flow composition can collapse internally in first container outflow of the inboard position of flat layer control.

The export department of valve member has four lobe-shape valves, and the inlet portion of valve member has flapper valve, and flapper valve can have the belt shape around four lobe-shape valves.

If giver is the spout with single lengthening path, and but flow composition is scattered by this spout, four lobe-shape valves can be urged in the lengthening path that is assembled in the spout, and spout (through intubate) pushing directly or indirectly is assemblied in first container.

Preferably, also provide foam or sponge giver, it has elasticity, compressible loose structure, but and flow composition is output by this loose structure, described giver is the form of pad, and this pad is located on or near the end that removably pushing is assemblied in the support on the spout.

In order to help aiming at the specific region, described pad only extends around support partly.

Preferably, giver has a plurality of lengthening separating elements from the support member upper process, but and flow composition is transported on the described lengthening separating element through shell, shell can be positioned on the spout, and is removably mounted on first container.

Described shell has guiding tube, and when shell was positioned on the spout, described guiding tube engaged the free end of spout.

The lengthening separating element can be flexible long fibre silk, for example be brush shape configuration, but even more preferably described each lengthening separating element is roughly inflexible tooth pattern, forms the pectination configuration.

For the ease of making, particularly when using molded of plastic material, described tooth is arranged in delegation at least.When an end of described delegation is at least looked, these teeth can but and nonessential be the general triangular profile that comprises different cross section.Convenient for distribution subsequently, have at least one outlet on the free end of each tooth, but flow composition can be output from these teeth.

Described lengthening separating element can separate from shell with support member with pulling down.A plurality of support members can be provided, and user can be selected one from these support members, and the lengthening separating element of different support members has different types.For example, having roughly, the comb support part of inflexible tooth can be had flexible long stapled brush shape support member replacement.

Lengthening separating element and support member can be used as an integral body and form, and this single piece can be fixed on the shell by the fixture that comprises clamp.Clamp is that elasticity is deflectable, and can be meshed with the perforate that extends through shell, and described clamp can be from released away from the direction of lengthening separating element.Also there is a clamp in addition, can be used as pivot and move.But elasticity deflection clamp can unclamp by finger pressure, but but can be by making shell roll across rigid surface, unclamping elasticity deflection clamp thus and will extend separating element and support member take off from shell.

For the convenience of assembling and the intensity of assembling, described shell and container are removable screw thread assemblings.Shell and container all are formed with projection spare, and (this moment, shell was in predetermined aligned position) these projection spares are crossed each other and engaged when shell is screwed on the container fully.

Preferably, but flow composition will be applied on the hair and/or skin of head of user, wherein first material and second material are two independent compositions of composition for hair dying.Preferablely be, provide a plurality of second containers, user can be selected one from these second containers, and each second container accommodates the hair dye of different tones.

Describe in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings according to giver of the present invention system, but these descriptions only are illustrative.In the accompanying drawing:

Accompanying drawing shows the hair-dyeing apparatus; each different aspect that this device has been implemented all aspects of the invention-promptly be in the present invention and will sought to protect in the patent application of some same periods, the various givers and the giver system that relate to induction system and be used to carry flowable composition.

Although flowable composition is composition for hair dying preferably, but either side of the present invention all is not limited in this specific flow composition.But the example of other flow composition comprises: the medicament that for example is used for pet nursing; The food of cake mix for example; For example be used for the cleaning agent of laundry care and carpet nursing; The cosmetics of body lotion and wetting agent for example; Lubricant or bonding agent.

In the use of composition for hair dying, there are some problems.

One of them problem is: needed with two kinds or two or more composition material preparation composition for hair dying before soon using.This just means needs separate storage composition material, and the mode of its storage should allow the user when needed can the blending constituent material.General, a kind of composition material is a hydrogen peroxide, and another kind of composition material is a dyestuff.But, when adding to dyestuff in the hydrogen peroxide, should not have any danger of being polluted, perhaps risk to user.

Another problem is: composition for hair dying need can be applied on the hair with any angle by giver.If giver is to supply with hair dye by simple squeeze bottle, the situation of the full bottle of squeeze bottle foot next under any orientation giver all be useful.But, along with squeeze bottle by crowded empty gradually, find that then giver is not can both use immediately under any orientation, but at first need the perfusion of giver choosing row to offset the back suction effect of any composition for hair dying.This has brought difficulty for using of composition for hair dying controlled (particularly using) on hair when avoiding polluting skin.

Hair-dyeing apparatus of the present invention not only allows to prepare composition for hair dying before closing on use, and has a giver of supplying with composition for hair dying by the induction system that is subjected to user control, wherein composition for hair dying is discharged in the following manner by the pressure differential (non-aerosol) that machinery produces, this mode be induction system when being in any orientation composition for hair dying always be in the state of preparing discharge.

For all composition for hair dying that are discharged from (can surpass the composition for hair dying be produced 90% even 95%), the conveying of all orientations all is possible.

Hair-dyeing apparatus of the present invention also allows composition for hair dying can being transported on the specific zone through giver by the amount of user adjustment, thereby obtains more uniform distribution of color, and makes to subtract in a jumble and put minimum.

Be used for to the root of hair of hair, when sending out the tip and administered composition for hair dying, it is always suitable not having a kind of giver, even if operation also is like this carefully.Therefore dissimilar givers is provided is ten minutes usefulness, and these giver types can be selected from the line giver, surperficial giver and brush shape/pectination giver.The line giver can be the spout with single outlet, and surperficial giver can comprise the porous material with a plurality of outlets.Brush shape/pectination giver can have a plurality of outlets that are used to distribute composition for hair dying, and these composition for hair dying are distributed by a plurality of lengthening separating elements subsequently.Can estimate that the lengthening separating element can be similar to the hair of brush or the tooth of comb.All dissimilar givers can with the container of composition for hair dying fluid connection mutually.

The concrete advantage of hair-dyeing apparatus of the present invention is:

Therefore (a) in use, have only a selected giver to expose in three kinds of givers, in the processing procedure of hair, do not exist by in the giver that remains in other or the caused mixed and disorderly danger of the composition for hair dying on the giver.

(b) the surperficial giver in three dissimilar givers is to be made by foamed materials with elasticity, compressible loose structure or sponge material, thereby the better distribution of composition for hair dying can be provided.

(c) the brush shape/pectination giver in three dissimilar givers has two outlets at least, and these two outlets are respectively formed on its separating element that respectively extends, thereby the better dispersion of composition for hair dying can be provided.

The concrete advantage of another of hair-dyeing apparatus of the present invention is: the monolithic valve has been realized dual-use function simultaneously, promptly controls entering and the discharge of composition for hair dying of air; The support member of separating element of being used to extend can be installed in shell from having contact with of unclamping away from the position of composition for hair dying by at least one; Cross the line giver is installed on the container, brush shape/pectination giver can be located on the online giver, and can directly be installed on the container.

Before describing surperficial giver with reference to figure 7 and 8, describing brush shape/pectination giver, at first referring to figs. 1 through 6 induction systems of describing in conjunction with wired giver with reference to figure 9 to 12.

Bottle 10 is formed with the bottle 12 of hollow, and bottle 12 has the cross section of substantially elliptical, in lower end closed, has the cervical region 14 of opening in the upper end.Cervical region can be formed with external screw thread 16.Cervical region 14 also is formed with a pair of relative projection 18, only shows this to one in the projection in Fig. 1.Each projection 18 preferably includes the gap 20 near inclined-plane 22, and its purpose is described hereinafter.

At least bottle 12 can be by elastic deformable plastic material manufacturing, thereby bottle 10 can be restored to the original state rapidly after being extruded and when unclamping.Plastic material can be low-density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) or polypropylene, and transparent.If not transparent, this plastic material is preferably translucent, can be colored, also can be not colored.

Flexible pouch 24 can be made by having identical shaped eclipsed two lamellas 26, and these two lamellas are closed round their most common peripheries, thereby forms the pouch of side seal, and pouch has the opening 28 on top and the V-arrangement edge 30 of bottom.Bag 24 defines the storage device that is used to deposit first material (as hydrogen peroxide), therefore should provide moist preferably barriers.Can comprise metallized laminated material in each lamella 26, and preferably include following three layers: LLDPE sealant/bonding agent/metallized PET (polyethylene terephthalate).

Bag 24 can be inserted in the bottle 10 by cervical region 14, form the container that have outside deformable layer (bottle 12) and inside can shrivel layer (lamella 26) with this, above-mentioned outside deformable layer and inside can shrivel floor and be cushioned the district and 32 be separated from each other, as shown in Figure 4.

As shown in Figure 4, stay pipe 34 can be inserted in the bag 24 by opening 28.Stay pipe 34 can have a plurality of holes 36 along its length, and to form be the passage of local stiffness at least, and this passage is opening in the cross section.Pipe 34 lower end 38 can be opening or sealing.Pipe 34 lower end 38 can contact with bag 24, and perhaps managing 34 lower end 38 can be approaching with the V-arrangement edge 30 of bag 24, but does not contact.The upper end of pipe 34 can be fixed on the intubate 40 by any suitable manner or device, perhaps can be press fit into simply in the intubate 40.

Intubate 40 partly is inserted in the bag 24 through opening 28, and can partly be inserted in the bottle 10 through cervical region 14.Preferably, intubate for good and all is fixed on the lamella 26 around opening 28 in the close mode of liquid, for example by hot joining or ultrasonic bonding.Perhaps, intubate 40 and bag 24 can be whole structures.Intubate 40 is preferably by simply press-fiting or being fixed on the cervical region 14 in the mode that can't remove by other suitable method or device, perhaps, can be removed system to obtain to fill by user.

Shown in Fig. 2,4 and 6, intubate 40 can be the plastic mould of single-piece, has tubular member 42, and this tubular member 42 defines a perforate, and extend at the center of passing sidewall 44, transverse wall 46 and a pair of relative bottom 48.

The sidewall 44 that illustrates has the flange 50 of the outward extending insert action that is used to limit 40 pairs of bottles 10 of intubate in the top and is in flange 50 and rib 52 that the direction in the roughly centre position of transverse wall 46 is inside.As shown in the figure, transverse wall 46 has a plurality of holes 54 of passing itself, be used for relief area 32 with between tubular member 42 and sidewall 44, limit and be connected around the annular channel 56 of tubular member 42 thus.

The lower end of tubular member 42 can be inwardly recessed, so that the upper end of receiving tube 34, and inwardly cut sth. askew in the upper end of tubular member 42.

General, when bag 24 was fed in the user hands, this bag partly had been filled with first material (as hydrogen peroxide).Therefore need avoid first material from manage 34 and tubular member 42 overflow.Removable pushing (flip) top cover can be set seal the upper end of tubular member 42.Perhaps, the upper end of tubular member 42 can be by rupturable diaphragm seal sealing.But preferably, the lid 58 that can remove is set, as shown in Figure 2.

Lid 58 also can be the plastic mould of single-piece, and it can have the plug sealing 60 of hermetically enclosed tubular member 42 upper ends.The standing part 62 of lid 58 can cooperate airtightly with the cervical region 14 of bottle 10.But, the standing part 62 that covers 58 is made into non-gastight cooperation also has some advantages.For example, can form with bottle 10 cervical region 14 on external screw thread 16 female thread 64 of breathable threaded engagement is arranged, lead to atmospheric air flue to provide from annular channel 56.

An advantage is, if the hydrogen peroxide in bag 24 becomes unstable and produces oxygen, then bag 24 can expand, and the air in relief area 32 will be overflowed by the hole in the intubate 40 54, enters into subsequently between

screw thread

16 and 64.

Another advantage is, if to be subjected to not be to be that the pressure of wishing changes to relief area, for example is the mobile result who causes by air, and then air can be overflowed through above-mentioned indicated path or from relief area 32 again, perhaps flow into relief area 32.

Aforesaid hair-dyeing apparatus allows user preparation hair coloring preparation composition or other flowable composition before contiguous the use.

In practice, be that second material is added in first material in the storage device at least.If storage device is to supply with at the state of sky, or pro-is emptied in once using, and then at first needs certainly some first materials are added in the storage device.In either case, all need to make these initial isolating materials to mix mutually.

As schematically illustrating in Fig. 4, second material can be stored in fully independently in the container 66.If first material is a hydrogen peroxide, then second material may be a dyestuff.Because dyestuff may be oxysensible, so container 66 may need to provide the oxygen barrier performance of excellence.And if dyestuff is example gel shape, emulsion form or pasty state, then needing container 66 is shaping distortion, with allow user with dyestuff from wherein extruding.On the other hand, if dyestuff is a liquid form, then dyestuff can be under the influence of gravity flow container 66.

If container 66 can strain,, then bags 24 preferably discharge gas and be retracted if then bag 24 is not an elastically deformable by the charge of air expansions-container 66 of first material top preferably.

User has a plurality of containers 66, and each container 66 can accommodate the different materials such as the hair dye of different tones, purpose is but that the material in one or more container 66 is emptied in the storage device to form specific flow composition, such as the composition for hair dying with concrete tone of selecting.

Comparatively ideally be, container 66 or each container 66 comprise long nozzle 68, and this nozzle 68 can extend fully through tubular member 42 and enter pipe 34.Can provide good butt joint like this, thereby when even user with the hands removes squeeze receptacle 66, container 66 can not separate yet with bottle 10.But also can promote better mixing, because the material in the container 66 is directly to advance to inject in the material of bag 24 from close scope.Obviously, before will long nozzle 68 being inserted in the tubular member 42, container 66 need be opened, can realize that this opens by fractureing, cut off or twist into two parts nozzle top 70 (shown in broken lines in Fig. 4).

Can understand that in the time of in second material is emptied to bag 24 from container 66, the volume of air that is positioned at above first material is dwindled gradually in bag 24, and should promote these compressed air to overflow, expand to prevent bag 24.

If nozzle 68 is loose fit in tubular member 42, then compressed air will be overflowed from this loose fit.Perhaps, can form one or more keyway, and/or on the position of the substrate of dye reservoir adjacent nozzles 68, be formed with one or more air effusion notch (castellations) along the length of nozzle 68.According to second properties of materials in the container 66 and relevant size, compressed air may pass second material and upwards spray, thereby forms air bag in container 66, and along with the air bag in the bag 24 shrinks, the air bag in this container rises greatly.

Even bag 24 does not expand, overflow in the hole from the transverse wall 46 of intubate 40 like that 54 that the air in relief area 32 also can be as indicated above.

After adding to the second enough material in first material, container 66 is shifted out from bottle 10, this container or be dropped perhaps is sealed again in order to use next time.

As adding second material in first material alternative by decant(-ation), second material can be contained in the container that forms with bag 24, perhaps be contained in the container that is arranged in bag 24, this container can be made an exception by for example bottle 12 of squeeze bottle 10, perhaps this container has other feature, allows second material to be added in first material.

After second material has been added in first material, then preferably be about to these material mixing thirty years of age by rocking bottle 10.User can prevent that the material in the bag 24 from overflowing by the upper end that gloved hands is referred to be placed on tubular member 42 when rocking.But, be that user can cover lid 58 again, so that plug envelope 60 closes the upper end of tubular member 42 more easily.In either case, when rocking and/or overturning bottle 10, pipe 34 plays the effect of restriction bag 24, mixes than more free help of motion of bag 24 by allowing the material in the bag 24.It is believed that if 10% volume of bag 24 reserved as head space and will occur mixing by rocking the optimum of realizing.If the bottle 12 of bag 24 and bottle 10 all is translucent, then can mix whether fully by visual inspection.

But in order to prepare to discharge the flow composition that forms by first material and second material, the perhaps composition for hair dying that forms by hydrogen peroxide and dyestuff specifically, then intubate 40 is come out again, be fixed on the intubate 40, just as illustrated in Figures 5 and 6 to allow spout 72.

Spout 72 also can be the plastic mould of single-piece, comprises cylindrical part 74 here, and this part extends to dome shape part 76, and this dome part 76 extends to tapering part 78.Be formed with rib 80 toward the outer side in the bottom of cylindrical part 74.The top of cylindrical part 74 forms near the shoulder 82 that dome shape part 76 produces.One or more (for example three) air intake extends through dome shape part 76, and these inlets are circumferentially evenly spaced apart around dome shape part.Tapering part 78 is formed with elongated path 86, and this path 86 narrows down along its length towards being in less high-end single outlet 88 gradually from its bigger low side.Annular groove 90 forms on the inner surface of the big low side of the close path 86 of tapering part 78.Circumferential rib 92 forms on the less high-end outer surface of the close path 86 of tapering part 78,

Valve member 94 can be affixed on the spout 72, and this valve member can be made by silicon resin copolymer, and can have overall structure.

Preferably, valve member 94 is included as the intake section of ring-shaped baffle valve 96 forms, and this part is passed the one way stop peturn valve of the air inflow of air intake 84 as control.

Preferably, valve member 94 also is included as the exit portion of central four lobe-shape valves, 98 forms, and this part is controlled the outflow of the composition for hair dying that passes passage 86 as one way stop peturn valve.Four lobe-shape valves 98 are preferred, because it opens from central authorities, rather than open from side, make the composition for hair dying that passes this valve produce level and smooth flowing thus.But as the alternative of four lobe-shape valves 98, the exit portion of valve member 94 also can be flapper valve, umbrella valve or duckbill valve.

Flapper valve 96 can be by comprising that the intermediate member of transverse sealing wall 100 with truncated cone-shaped location wall 102 is connected with four lobe-shape valves 98, and the outer surface of described truncated cone-shaped location wall 102 has circumferential rib 104.

Can engage and at an easy rate valve member 94 is affixed in the path 86 with annular groove 90 in the spout 72 by four lobe-shape valves 98 being inserted the circumferential rib 104 on valve member 94 in the passages 86.

Subsequently, by following manner spout 72 is fixed on the intubate 40 at an easy rate, the cylindrical part 74 that is about to spout 72 pushes in the circular passage 56 of intubate 40, rib 80 on cylindrical part 74 with can hear or be at least certain click cross intubate 40 rib 52 and with it the engaging, the shoulder 82 of spout 72 leans with the flange 50 of intubate 40 this moment, and sealed engagement takes place in the upper end of the tubular member 42 of the sealed wall 100 of valve member 94 and intubate 40.

In an alternate configurations, spout 72 can be secured on the intubate 40 by screw assembling rather than above-mentioned pushing assembling.

After being fixed to spout 72 on the intubate 40, can rock bottle 10 so that mix or the remix flow composition.

For composition for hair dying is transported to outlet 88 in the spout 72 (from composition for hair dying here with the linear for example root of hair of hair that is discharged to) from bag 24, need the bottle 12 of user squeeze bottle 10.This action compresses be in air in the relief area 32, but because flapper valve 96 has played the effect of sealing inlet 84, compressed air can't be overflowed by the fluid passage that comprises hole 54, circular passage 56 and air intake 84.On the contrary, compressed air partly plays the effect that bag 24 is shriveled, thus make some composition for hair dying pass to comprise pipe 34, tubular member 42, truncated cone-shaped location wall 102 and four lobe-shape valves 98 (described four lobe-shape valves 98 are opened so that composition for hair dying passes this valve) fluid passage and be extruded.When user stopped the bottle 12 of squeeze bottle 10, bottle 10 recovered its shape rapidly, thereby relief area 32 is expanded.Four lobe-shape valves 98 cut out, and avoiding the composition for hair dying back suction and to cross four lobe-shape valves 98, and make bag 24 remain on the state that it is shriveled by the part.Air passes flapper valve 96 and is inhaled in the relief area 32, thereby described flapper valve 96 is opened air is introduced through air intake 84.

Any pressure that user is thought with it and situation at that time adapts and frequency repeat the extruding to the bottle 12 of bottle 10.

Can understand, can avoid, and the contacting with each other of lamella 26 of the bag 24 and composition for hair dying that cause be absorbed in the situation at dead angle flat along with collapsing gradually of bag 24 in the hole 36 of pipe in 34, and manage 34 itself can collapse flat, but be discharged from the flow composition that allows to be in the pipe 34.

Along with composition for hair dying is scattered gradually, it is that translucent bottle 12 sees that bag 24 is flattened at least that user can see through.This can give up about the composition for hair dying worry that quilt is used up under the situation that does not have caution for user.

Although the storage device that is used for first material can be the pouch of side seal (as mentioned above), storage device can also adopt other form, for example, can be by half bag of bottle of upset, or layering bottle (preferably from it cervical region is peeled off gradually), perhaps provide with the clear and definite isolating inside of outside deformable layer and can shrivel layer by blowing bag with the Unitarily molded pressure of intubate.

And, although can be as indicated above make valve member have whole structure like that but realize dual-use function, but valve member also can adopt other form, for example, can provide isolating valve to control the outflow of composition for hair dying and the inflow of air, and can realize with the airport of finger sealing by on bottle, leaving user for the latter's control.

Referring now to Fig. 7 and 8, wherein show the surperficial giver 106 in the outlet 88 that removably is fixed on spout 72.Say that more specifically surperficial giver can comprise: the pad of making by foamed materials with elasticity, compressible loose structure or sponge material 108.This structure not only has a plurality of outlets, and allows to pass pad 108 from exporting 88 composition for hair dying of extruding, and by careful operation it is coated with equably along hair.Pad 108 can be positioned at or near the upper end of support 110, and the Lower Half of support 110 is truncated cone-shaped, and its direction is to extend to bigger lower end from less upper end.The inner surface of the Lower Half of support 110 is formed with annular groove 112, and when being pushed to support 110 on the spout 72, this annular groove is used for engaging with circumferential rib 92 removable turning up the soil on the spout 72.Support 110 and spout 72 can be interworkings each other, relatively rotate avoiding.Pad 108 can have the surface of curve, so that accurately use, and curvilinear surface only centers on the periphery extension of the first half of support 110 partly.Make by plastic material if fill up 108, and support 110 also is to be made by plastic material that then filling up 108 can be by using adhesive securement to support 110.Obviously, if initial surperficial giver will no longer be cleaned and reuse, then can provide a series of surperficial giver 106, these surperficial givers or similar (is disposable if wish), or different (is interchangeable if wish).

As shown in Fig. 9 to 12, brush shape/pectination giver 114 can replace surperficial giver 106 and can be fixed in the outlet 88 of spout 72 with pulling down, and brush shape/pectination giver 114 comprises shell 116 and can unclamp assembly 118.

Brush shape/pectination giver 114 can screw fit or the bullet card be coupled on the cervical region 14.

Shell 116 is plastic moulds of another part single-piece, it defines perforate 120, cone-shaped open chamber 122 (it has a series of fluting web 124 on the opposite major sides wall) from top to bottom, guarantee from chamber 128 to chamber the female thread 132 of the lower end of the guiding tube 126 of 122 open communication, the groove 130 that is positioned at chamber 128 upper ends, adjacent cavity 128, and a pair of relative projection 134 that is positioned at chamber 128 lower ends.

Female thread 132 is preferably molded from mould, and is not to be tapping thread.

By the effect that the female thread in chamber 128 132 is meshed with external screw thread 16 on the cervical region 14, shell 116 and bottle 10 have realized that removable screw thread installs.Along with shell 116 is screwed gradually, the outlet 88 of spout 72 progresses in the guiding tube 126.At last, projection 134 is similar to along the inclined-plane 22 of projection spare 18 by the moving of cam jack-up, and is engaged to subsequently in the gap 20 of projection spare 18.This engaging preferably has the sound that can hear, perhaps is definite click at least, has been screwed to fully on the bottle 10 with indication shell 116.On this last position, projection spare 18 and projection 134 are meshing with each other, and this moment, chamber 122 was open on the direction of the main shaft of bottle 12 (this bottle is roughly elliptic cross-section).

Releasable assembly 118 also can be made into the molded of plastic material part of single-piece, this element is last assembly of hair-dyeing apparatus of the present invention, described plastic material can be as having the polypropylene of silicone additive, and the effect of silicone additive is to produce lower coefficient of friction.

Can unclamp assembly 118 is translucent in the part at least, thinks that user makes the indication that flowable composition is about to be output.

Assembly 118 comprises support member 136, and this support member is roughly smooth, and the lower end to broad enlarges tapered gradually from narrower upper end.Narrower upper end has the deflectable clamp 138 of elasticity, and this clamp begins to extend and have hook-shaped leading end 138a from here.The lower end of broad has inflexible clamp 140, and this clamp begins to extend and have hook-shaped leading end 140a from here.Periphery at support member 136 has shirt rim 142, this shirt rim has and the complementary profile of the opening of chamber 122, a plurality of lengthening separating elements for example are roughly inflexible tooth 144, and are outstanding in the direction opposite with the detachable clamp 138 of elasticity, rigidity clamp 140 and shirt rim 142 from support member 136.But a plurality of outlets that are used for flow composition extend through support member 136.

Know as Fig. 9 to illustrate that tooth 144 can be arranged in two row.When from the ends of two row when looking, tooth 144 can but be not the triangular-shaped profile roughly that must have the varying cross-section size.The lower end of the cross sectional dimensions of tooth 144 from the narrower upper end of support member 136 to the broad of support member 136 increases gradually.And the tooth 144 in the different rows can relative to each other be staggered, and when still when looking from the sides of two row being (as figure), then has roughly the same thickness.

As shown in Figure 11, at least two but can be that all outlets 146 further extend through each tooth in the tooth 144.But, wish to have one or more outlet 146 not extend through tooth 144.For example, have at least the outlet 146 can be on the position between the adjacent teeth on the support member 136 144.Extend through at least two of tooth 144 but can be that all outlet 146 can be at each free end of tooth 144 through the hole 148 and reveal.

In fact, although hole 148 is very easily when being positioned at the free end of tooth 144, but the rear can also be partial to a little from the free end of tooth 144 in hole 148, be for fear of being applied directly on the skin of head on the one hand, be that preferred molding technique by so-called " through face cut-out technology " causes on the other hand, this technology can need not to use lateral pin can form hole 148 by simple dissection type mould.

For assembly 118 is assembled into shell 116, only the hook-shaped leading end 140a of rigidity clamp 140 need be navigated in the groove 130, subsequently with its pivot.This action makes the free end of shirt rim 142 engage with fluting web 124, and makes the hook-shaped leading end 138a deflection of clamp 138, so that clamp 128 enters perforate 120.When the hook-shaped leading end 138a of clamp 138 stretches out from perforate 120 when finishing with the engaging of the material of shell 116 around perforate 120, assembly 118 promptly is completely fixed on the shell 116.

For assembly 118 is taken off from shell 116, then need carry out opposite step.The pressure of clamp 118 by finger is unclamped.Perhaps, make rigid surface that the configuration leading end 138a of clamp 138 is struck back perforate 120 by the mode that shell 116 is rolled across rigid surface and roll.More preferably, the action of unclamping of clamp 138 takes place away from hole 148.

The reason that assembly 118 is pulled down from shell 116 is that this will help to remove any residual composition for hair dying.

The Another reason that assembly 118 is pulled down from shell 116 is to allow that former assembly 118 is replaced with another and have dissimilar assembly 118.For example, may wish that the roughly rigid teeth 144 that will present pectinate texture with another brush shape structure replaces, described another structure or comprise the brush shape structure of a plurality of elasticity, flexible mane, or spongiosis, perhaps or even another pectinate texture, tooth in this structure and/or hole are of different sizes and/or configuration.This distribution that will impel (such as different hair lengths or different hair types) composition for hair dying under different situations more completely.

In different assemblies 118, can size, position and the shape in hole 148 be changed, this depends on the rheological behavior of composition for hair dying, perhaps depends on the needs of different hair dyeing effects, for example root covers, streak or strengthen glittering.

As the general remark relevant with all the elements disclosed by the invention, first container that accommodates first material can be interpreted as: comprise the bottle that any one dissimilar giver or giver combination have been installed.

Another for the general remark relevant with all the elements disclosed by the invention is, flowable composition can be interpreted as having puppet-the plastic flow characteristic, its meaning here is when compositions is subjected to shear action, the viscosity of this flowable composition reduces, in case shear action stops, the internal structure of flowable composition (this has caused intrinsic viscosity) rebulids rapidly, causes that viscosity number increases, and trends towards intrinsic viscosity.

Flow composition should be at 0.01s ^-1To 10,000s ^-1The scope of shear strain rate in have above-mentioned puppet-plastic flow characteristic, but the shear stress scope that above-mentioned scope is a flow composition most possibly to be run into when being composition for hair dying.

But the example of suitable flow composition is, is 2000s in shear strain rate ^-1The time viscosity measured be not less than 0.01PaS (preferably being not less than 0.15PaS); And in shear strain rate is 10s ^-1The time viscosity measured be no more than 5PaS (preferably being no more than 1.4PaS).
