vMy invention relates to applicators for applying hair dye to the head and scalp. In more detail, my invention provides a combination arcuate shaped applicator fitting the curve of the head and a dye pit suitable for use with the applicator.
At present, hair dye is applied either with a small tooth brush, or a small brush similar to a tooth brush, or'a small straight sided pad and comb applicator. The curvature of the head limits the usable length of the applicator and causes the use of the tooth brush and the like kind of applicators which have short straight applicating faces and cannot hold much dye or cover much head surface per stroke. Because of the small surface covered at each stroke with these applicators much overlapping of the ends and sides of these strokes takes place and some parts of the head are gone over more times than others and an imperfect dyeing results, an excess of dye is used and the work consumes much time.
An object of my invention is to provide an applicator having an applicating face corresponding in shape to the curvature of the head so that a single stroke of the applicator covers a considerable portion of the head. In this way, the number of strokes necessary to complete the application is appreciably diminished, the time necessary to do the work is decreased, amore even application of dye results and less dye is used.
Another object of my invention is toprovide a dye receptacle, or holder, for use with an arcuate applicator whereby each part of its applicating face can be simultaneously forced against a corresponding arcuate pit face so that each part of the applicator face retains the same amount of liquid.
Further and more specific objects, features and advantages will moore clearly appear from the detail, description given below taken in connection with the accompanying sheet of drawing which forms a part of this specification.
Referring to the drawing, Fig. 1 is a plan view of my applicator and pit, Fig. 2 is a section along the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Referring to Fig. 1, the brush l for applying liquids such as hair dye to the head is comprised of a body part 2 and bristles 3, or other applicating surface as felt or cotton pads. The back side of the body part 2 is provided with a handle 4 for holding and using the brush. This handle may be placed at one end of the brush or as shown in the drawing at the center of the back side. The front. side of the body part is arcuate shaped'as at 5 to correspond to the head and curved crescent like. The bristles 3 of which there may be as many rows as desired are attached to the front crescent shaped side of the .25.
body part and impart the same crescent shape to the brush. Thus, the brushing surface 6 corresponds to the curvature. of the head and when applied thereto, all bristlescontact with the head and a maximum of head surface is covered at 10 each stroke of the brush. As the head is obate shaped, brushing may take place in any direction and the same maximum contact will result. Because of the curvature of the brush and the amount of head surface covered at a single stroke 15 few strokes are necessary to complete the process, and little overlapping of dyed parts takes place and a corresponding decrease in time and material results.
The dye holder 20 is constructed with a re- 20 ceptacle 2| for holding the dye and has sides 22 and 23 and ends 24. The front side 22 slopes from the top 25 of the holder to the bottom of the receptacle 2 I. The corners 26 of the bottom of the receptacle are rounded to prevent the ac- 25 cumulation of impurities and to facilitate cleaning. The back side 23 slopes moderately downward from the top of the receptacle to an almost level part called a shoulder 21 midway into the receptacle and then slopes at an increasingly 30 sharp angle to the bottom of the receptacle, thus making a sharp slope at the top of the pit, a levelling off near the middle of the receptacle and another sharp slope toward the bottom of the receptacle. The levelling off part, or shoulder 21, 35
forms a platform on which the brush can rest and against which the brush can be forced to deposit any superfluous liquid. This back sloping side 23 is horizontally arcuate, or curved shape, with the ends of the curve near the ends 40 24 of the receptacle and the center of the curve extending forward into the receptacle and toward the front side 22. In this way the curve and face of the side 23 of the receptacle is constructed to correspond with the curve shape of the brush 45 face so that when the brush is rubbed or pushed against this receptacle face, equal pressure results on all the brush bristles and each will retain an equal amount of dye, thus preventing an excess of dye in the ends of the brush or drippings there- 50 from and insuring an equal and even distribution of dye when the brush is used.
The front side 22 and top of the holder is provided with an indentation 28 or cut out piece as a resting place for the handle of the brush. The
While I have described my improvements in great detail and with respect to a preferred form thereof, I do not desire to be limited to such details and forms since many changes and modifications may be made and the invention embodied in widely dilferent forms without departing from the spirit and scope thereof in itsfbroad er aspects. Hence I desire to cover all modifica-- tions, forms and embodiments coming within thelanguage or scope of any one or more of the appended claims. 7 V
WhatI claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A receptacle having a convex arcuate shaped side, said side having a'shoulder.
2. A receptacle for holding liquids having a convex arcuate'shaped side, said convexity directed inward of the receptacle, and said arcuate shaped side having a nearly horizontal shoulder.
3. A receptacle for holding liquids and a rear sloping horizontallyconvex arcuate shaped side, said convexity directed inward of the receptacle,
said rear sloping side havingan upper gently sloping part below which a shoulder and below the shoulder a steep sloping part.
4. A trough having ends and sides, one of said sides having a moderate slope at the upper part a nearly level part and a steep slope at the lower 8 part and said side being convex arcuate shaped, 1 said convexity directed inward of the trough.
5. A brush receptacle for holding liquids having sides, one of said sides having a moderate slope at the upper part, below which a 10 nearly level part and below the level part a. steep sloping part and said side being convex arcuate shaped; Isaid convexity directed inward of..the receptacle, the other of said sides opposite the arcuate shaped side having a cut out part. 15 6.
