Definitions

• the invention is directed to a device for the continuous dispensing of a liquid hair treatment agent onto the hair and / or the skin of humans or animals with a storage for the hair treatment agent and with tines in capillary connection, which prongs the hair treatment agent by brushing past the hair release this or the skin.
• a can for the continuous delivery of a liquid substance to the hair and scalp of animals or humans is known (EP 0 157 032).
• This comb has a cavity in a narrow comb back with a handle on one side, in which there is a first porous material for receiving and storing the liquid substance.
• a multiplicity of inks which engage in the first porous material and are made of a second porous material are in capillary connection with the first porous material which stores the liquid substance. This allows the liquid substance to be applied to the hair and especially the skin via the free ends and side surfaces of the tines.
• the porous materials that can be used and the amount of liquid that can be transported the materials previously known to be suitable are, however, narrowly limited the production of the porous materials in question is complicated and expensive.
• the tines which are made from fiber pens like conventional writing tips, it is also not possible to specifically align and orientate the course of the capillaries in the tines. Rather, the manufacturing process always results in a more or less random, unoriented arrangement of the capillaries.
• the transport of liquids with small solid components is also difficult, for example with multi-component hair dyes.
• the design options with regard to the external shape are limited in the porous materials used to date.
• the insertion of the porous comb teeth into the memory which is made of a different porous material, requires a considerable amount of work or assembly.
• the object of the invention is to provide a solution which enables the application of any hair treatment compositions, including those with the inclusion of small solid components, for example in the case of multicomponent hair colorants, with considerably less effort, combined with the possibility of designing the device in question in its external form in a variety of ways or to meet all design requirements and to be able to specifically design the course of the capillaries if desired.
• both the tines and the storage device are formed in one piece in a comb-like manner from a number of thin plates and / or foils arranged in layers with respect to one another, with gap-like spaces of such size provided between the individual plates and / or foils, that, depending on the respective plate and / or film materials and the hair treatment agent to be dispensed, capillary transport of the hair treatment agent in question takes place in the gap-shaped spaces.
• capillary plate pack which can be processed in plate or film form, because due to the surface roughness of the plates or films by the stacking of the plates or films, the gap-shaped spaces with capillary active Form effectiveness.
• polymers such as PVC, PE, acrylate, polypropylene, polycarbonate can be used, as can glass, mica and metals, e.g. Aluminum or stainless steel.
• the plate thickness is preferably in the range from 0.1 to 0.2 mm.
• the plate and film thickness can also be in the 1/100 mm range and in the um range as well as in the cm range.
• sheets or foils can be used within relatively wide limits vary.
• the heights are preferably between 5 and 150 ⁇ m.
• the surface design is essentially dependent on the manufacturing process of the panels in question, for example, longitudinal grooves are formed in the conventional manufacturing processes for panels made of polyethylene.
• the capillary activities can be influenced or optimized and specifically aligned.
• the plate surfaces are profiled to form the gap-shaped gaps in accordance with the desired liquid distribution, for example continuing grooves in the tines starting from the storage part of the plates and / or deflecting laterally evenly distributed over the tine length such that the liquid flows out the gaps between the individual tines are fed to the storage part of the plate pack and the hair treatment liquid in question can also be driven out laterally from the tines and is particularly well discharged when the hair passes by.
• the individual plates can be connected to one another at least at two mutually opposite edges or by means of spot welding, in the latter case the individual welding points preferably essentially be evenly distributed over the plate surface.
• the plates of a plate pack can have different thicknesses, for example the two outer plates can be made stronger than the inner plates for reasons of strength.
• a particularly simple and inexpensive design is obtained "if the comb-like plate package formed by the layered plates has a side handle which forms part of the storage. As can be seen, such a comb can optimally meet all design requirements with regard to shape and color with the simplest means It has been shown that a comb of normal size, in particular due to its side handle, already has a considerable storage volume for the hair treatment liquid in question, so that certain hair treatments, for example a Streak dyeing is possible without additional storage.
• a comb of the type in question can also be used in the simplest way by immersing its prongs in a separate liquid storage device after emptying, with only wt to be ensured requires that at notedesten point of the memory, ie at the free end of the handle, the vent openings spaltförmi gene spaces are assigned, so that when the comb teeth are immersed in a liquid reservoir, the gap-like spaces fill up very quickly due to their capillary conductivity.
• the comb-like plate pack formed by the layered plates with the exception of its tine or comb tooth area, in a housing space that can be filled with hair treatment agents in order to be able to apply a much larger amount of hair treatment in this way with a single device.
• the plate pack is not constantly immersed in the hair treatment liquid in the housing space during its handling, which can occur especially shortly before the storage liquid is used up in the upward position of the comb teeth, because then the plate package arranged by the housing space formed memory can give hair treatment agent to the hair for a long time without the need for replenishment of the residual liquid still in the housing space.
• the residual liquid can also enter the gap-shaped cavities between the individual plates and be released to the hair via the teeth.
• the gap-shaped spaces at the free ends of the teeth or comb teeth can be closed, for example if you do not want to apply a hair treatment liquid, in particular a hair dye, to the scalp of humans, similarly to the previously known porous comb teeth by closing all of them Pores in the area of the free ends of the comb teeth are already known.

• the plate pack 2 including the comb teeth 4 is formed from a number of mutually parallel plates 7 with gap-shaped spaces 8 provided between the individual plates. These spaces 8 form capillaries for the capillary transport of a hair treatment agent.

• the gap-shaped interspaces 8 can fluctuate considerably with regard to their spacing from one another, depending on the plate materials used and their surface design, which explains the size of these gap spaces between 5 and 150 ⁇ m mentioned at the outset.
