Description

May 9, 1950 Y. B. SPIEGEL HEAD TREATING APPARATUS Filed Dec. 23, 1948 IN V EN TOR.
22.21 B. Spzgel Patented May 9, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1mm ram'rmo mana'rus Yetta B. Spiegel, Chicago, Ill. Application December 23, 194:, Serial No. 00,030
Claims. (01. 132-9) This invention relates tus suitable for applying dye to the hair and for applying scalp treating lotion to the scalp. An object of 'the invention is to provide improved apparatus of that category.
According to this invention, the apparatus consists of a double-walled cap which fits snugly over the user's head and encloses the hair on the user's head. A hair dye or any other hair or scalp treating liquid may be introduced between the walls of the cap through an opening in the outer wall. The cap may then be massaged causing the liquid to seep through minute orifices in the inner wall of the cap and onto the user's scalp and hair.
Preferably the orifices are in the form of short tubes or nipples which are of sufiicient length to to head treating apparaI extend inwardly through the user's hair to his scalp. This will resultin the application of much of the treating iluid to the roots of the hair and the scalp.
Extending around the edge of the cap and ok the inner surface thereof is a channel opening upwardly toward the body of the cap. The inner wall of this channel fits snugly against the users head with the result that the channel will catch any excess liquid which would otherwise run down over the user's face or neck. The channel is also adapted to receive a quantity of absorbent material to insure further against the escape of any excess liquid.
Accordingly, it is another object of this invention to provide improved head treating apparatus adapted to apply head treating fluid directly to the roots of the hair and the scalp.
Another object of this invention is to provide improved head treating apparatus adapted to prevent excess head treating fluid from running down over the face and neck of the user.
- Another object of this invention is to provide simple and inexpensive head treating apparatus having the advantages stated above.
Tins invention, together with further objects .and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, and its scope will be pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a front perspective view partially z tional view of one of the tubes or nipples attached to the inner wall of the apparatus and Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the edge of the apparatus, showing the channel and absorbent material.
The apparatus shown in the figures consists of a cap it having an outer wall ii and an inner wall I2. The two walls ii and I2 are joined at the edge of the cap, as best shown in Fig. 4, thereby forming a substantially enclosed envelope. At the top and preferably near the front of the cap it is an opening H for the introduction of dye or other head treating fluid. An enclosure i5 for this opening is shown in the form of a screw cap.
Head treating fluid when introduced through the opening H in the proper quantity will partially or completely fill the envelope formed by outer and inner walls H and II respectively. Subsequent kneading of the cap III will cause the fluid to pass through nipples or tubes l3. Simple orifices maybe used but it has been found to be desirable to use tubes or nipples l3 of such length that the end of the tubes will extend inwardly through the hair to the scalp. This results in the application of the fluid to the scalp or the roots of the hair as well as to other portions of the hair. This feature is desirable when the apparatus is used for dying the hair since it insures a thorough application of the dye to the roots of the hair; this being a portion of the hair frequently not reached when apparatus previously known in'the art has been used. This feature is also desirable when using this apparatus in the application of liquid for treatment of the scalp since the liquid will obviously be applied primarily directly to the scalp.
The edge of the cap III is turned inwardly and upwardly to form a channel as shown in Fig. 4. The inner wall It of the channel fits tightly against the users head with the result that the channel will catch and retain any excess liquid which might otherwise run down over the users face or neck. However, in the event that there is a considerable amount of excess fluid running down from the treated portion of the head, this fluid would normally run through the channel and collect at the lowermost point with the result that it will overflow the channel. Therefore, it is desirable that an absorbent material H such as absorbent cotton be placed in the channel throughout the length thereof. Such absorbent material will absorb and will tend to distribute the excess fluid thereby further insuring against its escape.
The absorbent material and thechannel may be replaced bya strip of absorbent material, such as one made of sponge rubber for example, the strip of absorbent material preferably being permanently attached to the inner wall near the edge of the cap.
While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown, it will be understood, of course, that the invention is not limited thereto since many modifications may be made, and it is, therefore, contemplated to cover by the appended claims any such modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patcut is:
1. Head treating apparatus comprising a cap having an inner wall and an outer wall, said walls forming a substantially closed envelope, a
plurality of open ended tubes attached to and extending inwardly from said inner wall and connecting with the space between said walls, an opening in said outer wall, a removable closure sealing said opening, and absorbent means exwall, a removable closure sealing said opening,
and an upwardly opening channel extending along substantially the entire-edge of said cap on the inner surface thereof.
3. Head treating apparatus comprising a cup having an inner wall and an outer wall, said walls forming a substantially closed envelope, a plurality of open ended tubes attached to and extending inwardly from said inner wall and connecting with the space between said walls, an opening in said outer wall, a removable closure sealing said opening, and an upwardly opening amm channel extending along substantially the entire edge of said cap on the inner surface thereof. 4. Head treating apparatus comprising a cup having an inner wall and an outer wall, laid walls forming a substantially closed envelope, a plurality *of open ended tubes attached to and extending inwardly from said inner wall and connecting with the space between said walls, an opening in said outer wall, a removable closure sealing said opening, an upwardly opening channel extending along substantially the entire edge of said cap on the 'inner surface thereof, and a quantity of absorbent material contained in said channel.
5. Head treating apparatus comprising a cap having an inner wall and an outer wall, said walls forming a substantially closed envelope, a plurality of orifices in said inner wall terminating in tubes connected to and extending inwardly from said inner wall, an opening inlaid outer wall, a removable closure sealing said opening, anupwardly opening channel extending along substantially the entire edge of said cap on the inner surface thereof, and a quantity of absorbent material contained in said channel.
