Description

SYSTEM FOR THE APPLICATION AND A PRODUCT FOR THE HAIR FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the field of hair care, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for applying to the hair a product such as a hair colorant.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Distributors and applicators of hair dyes and cosmetics for hair care are, in general, known in the art. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,152,305 apparently describes an apparatus for applying dye to hair, which includes a tubular housing with an end cap having a nozzle and a rod for applying dye to hair. The housing contains a movable piston which can be operated by the user to compress, and thus expel, the hair colorant through the nozzle. U.S. Patent No. 5,076,298 apparently describes a device that includes a tubular member that contains multiple storage compartments, and each compartment contains an absorbent material. The absorbent materials may each contain a different component of a hair-free solution. The even dye component to the hair is provided from each of the absorbent materials, to multiple tips where the components are mixed together. The mixture can then be applied from the jaggies of the hair to be dyed. US Patent No. 4,966,175 apparently describes an apparatus having a cylindrical body with a storage chamber for storing a liquid hair dye and a supply medium or a medium consisting of a valve that connects the storage chamber with an upper portion . The upper portion has small holes that lead to the outside of the cylindrical body through which the hair dye passes. The hair dye is distributed over brush members from which the dye can be transferred to the hair to be treated. U.S. Patent No. 4,958,647 apparently describes a hair dye dispenser, which contains a motor that rotates an absorbent material to thereby transfer, by centrifugal force, the hair dye, from the absorbent material to a second absorbent material. located radially outwardly of the first absorbent material. The second absorbent material is placed externally to the dispenser, to apply 1 dye to the hair. ^ technique fail to provide an apparatus or method, such as in a way that is simple to use, reliable, and that its manufacture is not dropped, and that it can be used as a disposable unit, or that it can alternatively be adapted simply to be filled ..; c: SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus that includes a main body portion having an inner part adapted to receive a hair product or a hair coloring substance, an outer part, and an opening or orifice for the hair. wherein the inner part communicates with the outer part The device includes a wick or applicator tip placed in the hole, the wick has a first end placed on the inside of the main body and a second end placed on the outside of the main body , and a cover adapted to cover the second end of the wick and to connect in a sealed manner to the main body.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a device that can be easily used and which can be accessed instantaneously, without the need to mix or pour the components or ingredients, to color the hair with any desired color. For example, any desired hair colorant may be used in the container according to the present invention to have access to the hair colorant., for example through a hole in the container which has a wick that distributes the hair colorant contained within the container. The container may also have a shape such as to allow the user easy handling. The shape of the container is not restricted to elongated cylindrical shapes but encompasses any shape, including, without limitation, shapes and designs that may be extravagant, ergonomic, functional and / or stylized. A further object of the present invention is to provide a superior means for retouching hair color, particularly in the root area, for example, as a short-term resource, by providing a convenient container with a convenient application means that allows Users easily put color to the hair in specific locations of it. In addition, the device can be used to easily apply light colored accent stripes.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the means for applying the hair coloring product to the hair includes a wick that provides a capillary action through which the hair coloring product can be transported from the interior of the container to the hair. . In another embodiment of the present invention, the opening of the main body of the apparatus may include a removable accessory or collar. The collar is attached to the main body through a removable medium such as threads, interconnecting slots, or press fit. A wick-type applicator is placed through the collar such that one end of the applicator is inside the main body and the other end of the applicator is on the outside of the main body. Since the collar is removable, the main body can be filled and filled with the coloring substance for the hair. In an alternative configuration, the main body can be filled through an opening at the bottom of the device. The bottom opening can preferably be sealed and the seal is created, for example, by a threaded connection between a sealing plug and the main body portion, interconnecting slots, or it can be placed under pressure. The sealing plug can be stuck in place, for example, with adhesive, electrostatic seal, or thermal seal.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, a section of the toll elevator. of the device, is substantially separated from a section of the reservoir, for example, by a valve. The valve allows the hair product to pass from the section of the tank to the section when the user exercises some action. For example, the user can press a lever, press the tip of the applicator into the body, or press the sides of the main body together to open a conduit through which the hair product can pass. This allows, for example, that a non-homogeneous product for the hair, or a solution for the hair, which is susceptible to separation, be stirred and mixed immediately before it enters the section of the wick applicator, of the device. Upon entering the applicator section, the mixed hair solution can be transported by the capillary action of the wick applicator to the hair. The unused portion of the hair solution, which may be susceptible to separation, remains in the reservoir section separated from the wick by a valve, so that the wick will not absorb the separated solution. This helps to prevent, for example, the wick from administering to the hair an unbalanced amount of a component of the hair solution. One advantage of a valve configuration is that a hair solution consisting of two or more components that tend to separate can be contained within a single applicator and will not require external mixing or emptying. Additionally, a user can fill the deposit with components selected by himself. For example, the applicator system of the invention allows a user to follow a simple filling operation by which a solution of multiple components or two different components of a solution can be added to the tank. Once the tank has been filled, it can be closed in a sealed manner. In this way, multi-component solutions are simply stored and easily accessed without further external mixing or pouring. The present invention is also focused on a method for dyeing the hair using the device for the application of a hair product, described above, which includes the steps of removing a lid from a main body of the device for the application of a product for the hair, to expose the wick; and applying the wick to the hair to thereby transfer the solution for hair care, from the wick to the hair; and replacing the lid over the wick and also coupling the lid with the main body of the device for the application of the hair product, to form with ^^^^^^ ^^ ^ k ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ it a substantially air tight between the cover and the main body fastener, such that the The wick is stored in a substantially airtight seal. An advantage of the present invention is that it integrates the applicator with the reservoir, providing a mechanically simple and easy-to-use device for dyeing hair, which may be disposable or refillable, which is not uncomfortable to use, does not create confusion, and avoids leaks or spills. In this way the device avoids problems associated with the availability of instruments for hair dyeing, especially those which for example are based on separate and separable applicators. The present invention is also inexpensive to manufacture. These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in view of the description and the following accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Figure 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, designated, in general, as device 100, which pulls a main body 1 defining a deposit 2. | f? reservoir 2 is a substantially closed region having an opening 3 through which a hair product or hair care solution can be dispensed from the device 100 to the hair. The hair product or the hair care solution may include, for example, hair coloring substances such as a permanent, semi-permanent, washable dye, of the type that is left on the hair, hair bleach, ashen hair, or other solutions for hair treatment, such as conditioners or solutions to shape. A wick or applicator tip 5, which is partially contained within the reservoir 2 and partially outside the reservoir 2, interacts with the inner part of the reservoir 2 to absorb the hair care solution and supply it to the outside of the reservoir 2, for example, by capillary action. The opening 3 of the reservoir 2 can be adapted to receive the applicator tip 5. The applicator tip 5 can be, for example, felt, fiber, sponge, or any other material capable of transporting, through a wick, a solution for hair care, from the reservoir 2 to the outer surface of the applicator tip 5, by capillary action. The applicator tip 5 is Sf * '^ mm ^ ¡^ gággggjg¡ 3 placed in the opening 3 of the tank 2 having a first portion 5.1 of the applicator tip 5 inside the main body 1, and a second portion 5.2 exposed on the outside of the body Main 1. The applicator tip 5 should fit properly within the opening 3 so that the air pressure can be equalized between the outside and the inside of the reservoir 2. This can also be achieved by giving an appropriate shape to the applicator tip 5 with a slot 5.3 or other opening to achieve equalization of the pressure. By allowing equalization of the pressure, for example, a pressure differential preventing the flow of the hair care solution, through the applicator tip 5, from the inside to the outside of the tank 2 can be avoided. The applicator tip 5 should be adjusted, for example, in such a way that it can not be inadvertently pushed into the reservoir 2, and in such a way that the hair care solution, which is inside the reservoir 2, can not escape further. beyond the applicator tip 5, but which can pass out of the reservoir 2 for example, by the capillary action of the wicking tip 5. The opening 3 may include a neck portion 6 surrounding the applicator tip 5 and providing a support for it. The opening 3 is preferably adapted to receive a cover 7. The cover 7 preferably performs a substantially air-tight connection with the main body 1 to prevent drying of the applicator tip, wick 5 and to prevent evaporation, leakage or spillage of the cap. the solution for hair care contained within the main body 1. Suitable connections between the lid 7 and the main body 1 include, for example, parallel grooves for interconnection, threads, and snap-fitting. When the lid 7 is placed on the main body 1, the lid substantially covers the applicator tip 5 in such a way that the device is not in an active operating state. The cover 7 prevents inadvertent contact between the applicator tip 5 and the surfaces on which it is not desired to place the solution for hair care. The device may optionally contain a number of features as shown in Figure 2. For example, the reservoir 2 may contain an absorbent material or an absorbent pad 4 that absorbs and retains the hair care solution. The absorbent pad 4 can substantially fill the reservoir 2 and can serve to absorb the solution for hair care and aid in the prevention of spillage or leakage of the solution. A further feature of the device is that the optional neck portion 6 is contained on a removable collar 11. The collar 11 can be attached to the main body 1, for example by a threaded connection 12 such as • $ • shown in Figure 2. The removable collar 11 can facilitate the filling and filling of the device with the hair care solution. An additional option for filling or filling the device includes having an opening 13 for filling, which is at the bottom of the main body 1. The filling opening 13 can be joined and sealed with the main body 1 by means of a threaded fit, pressure adjustment, or an adjustment by electrostatic or thermal sealing. The main body 1 may contain a liner or wrap 8 that substantially surrounds the hair care solution. The wrapper should have an opening 8.1 through which the solution for hair care can pass. The opening 8.1 can, for example, coincide or be aligned with the opening 3 of the main body 1 so that the applicator tip 5 can pass through the opening 3 and the opening 8.1. The casing 8, which is placed inside the main body 1, provides a barrier to the solution used for hair care, and can be constructed of a flexible material. The wrapper 8 is preferably made of a material that will not react with the hair care solution contained therein, such as for example plastics, rubbers and synthetic materials known in the art, as well as ceramic products and some metals. The selection of the material for the wrapper 8 will depend in part on the composition of the hair care product. In this way, although the main body may be formed of any number of suitable materials, such as moldable plastics, ceramic, synthetic, and the like, known in the art, the main body 1 may also be made of materials that are otherwise they are not suitable due to a certain tendency to react with the chemical composition of the hair products or solutions for hair care. For example, the main body 1 could be formed of a metallic material that could be reactive with the hair care product, but that, because the main body 1 can be substantially separated from the hair care solution, by wrapping 8, contamination or chemical reaction with the solution for hair care is prevented. In addition, the main body 1 can have any shape, either functional or extravagant, regardless of the desired shape of the wrapper 8. A retainer ring 9 can be incorporated within the device according to the present invention, adapted to fit tightly around a s3 £? x & faith? »- ^ -. ^ ~ m * £ 2é &tea & bmmm portion of the applicator tip 5 so that the retainer ring 9 places and maintains the applicator tip 5 inside the reservoir 2 and prevents the applicator tip 5 from being inadvertently pushed into the reservoir 2. The retainer ring 9 can provide, for example, a means for locating the applicator tip 5 within the main body 1, for example, in a centered position as shown in Figure 2. It can be advantageous to build the retainer ring 9 to cooperate with the casing 8, so that the casing 8 is held in a sealed manner around the applicator tip 5 by the retainer ring 9. Also, the retainer ring 9 can be maintained relative to the main body 1 in a position substantially fixed, such as by a groove or flange in the lower part of the main body 1, which prevents longitudinal movement of the retainer ring 9. In a further embodiment of the present invention, a spacer 10 can be adapted to fit within the main body 1. The spacer 10 removes space from the main body 1 that would otherwise be filled with the hair care solution. In this way, the use of a spacer is provided for independence between size and shape of the main body 1 and the size and shape of the reservoir 2. When using a spacer 10, the volume of the liquid contained within the reservoir 2 can be independent of the volume occupied by the main body 1. The separator 10 can simply be, for example, an empty space formed inside the main body 1 by virtue of the shape of the main body 1. Figure 3a shows an alternative embodiment of the applicator tip 5 which extends from the neck 6 of the hair product applicator system according to the present invention. The second portion 5.2 of the applicator tip 5 has a serrated tip 5.4. The serrated tip 5.4 provides an alternative configuration for applying the hair care solution, from the reservoir 2 to the hair. Figure 3b shows another embodiment of the applicator tip 5. The second portion 5.2 has a beveled tip 5.5 that can be used to apply the product thereto to the hair. Figure 3c shows a side view of the applicator tip 5. The side view of Figure 3c depicts a side view for both the serrated tip 5.4 of Figure 3a and the bevel tip 5.5 of Figure 3b.
