The invention relates to an applicator for dry hair coloring agents to the. ! Dyeing of human hair.

One of the major difficulties with dry hair dye applicators is the uneven wear of the Materials during use. This prevents uniform coloring of the hair, especially where the hair is divided and the uncolored hair roots become uncomfortably visible. An application material is used to color the uncolored, exposed hair roots with an elongated edge that can be set in the area where the hair is parted is desirable. At acquaintances Devices for applying non-liquid hair colorants the applicable part wears out quickly and unevenly, rendering most of the paint device unusable.

For applying dry paint (as opposed to applicators for liquid paint), the use of a comb was proposed in TJS-PS 2 785 693, which completely consists of a mixture of pigments with stearic acid and thinning fillers consists. With this construction, the comb wears itself out during use and the cross-section of the tines becomes with it so little time that they break off and the comb becomes effective loses. Combs were also provided with an overall wedge-shaped pastel pen (US Pat. No. T 707 665), in which the pastel pen sits in a chamber formed by the comb itself. With wear and tear the pastel color is where the parquet surfaces appear between the Tines back more and more from the comb teeth surrounding them, so that the uncolored hair roots remain uncomfortably free. The colored pencil cannot be moved outward to make the receding To compensate or replace colored areas.

Application devices according to IJS-PS 2 818 167 have the Disadvantage that they do not have multiple sides and their edges for application. Several edges and corners on the colored wax block namely facilitate the application while the edges of a product quickly become dull with a single surface. The same applies to the application device for wax according to the US-PS 2,379,745 and the application device according to US Pat. No. 2,477,245.

In the applicant's US Pat. No. 3,640,288, a hair-on was indeed Tragvörrichtung described, which is through an open area is characterized along a wax block, which has several elongated and essentially continuous paint application areas, the lengthways this area of the block spaced apart are. Nonetheless, further improvement is desirable for the usefulness and safety of hair dye devices raise. ■
