Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a device for dispensing and / or taking up a liquid with a number of thin plates and / or foils arranged in layers in relation to one another and between the individual. Plates and / or foils have gap-shaped spaces such that capillary transport of the liquid in question takes place through the gap-shaped spaces depending on the respective plate and / or foil materials and the liquids to be dispensed or taken.
  • Pens, blotting paper, application devices for applying hair treatment agents and the like are suitable
  • materials are very limited and the production of porous materials, which are suitable, for example, for applying hair treatment agents to human or animal hair, is very complicated and time-consuming, and the transportation of liquids with small solid components is also difficult, for example with multicomponent hair colorants.
  • neither in the manufacture of papers nor in the manufacture of writing tips for felt-tip pens is it possible to form the course of the capillaries in a targeted and oriented manner. Rather, there is always a more or less random, unoriented arrangement of the capillaries.

Since, in such an application, larger amounts of liquid are generally to be dispensed or taken up, it is particularly advisable here to assign a memory made of capillary-conductive material to the plate pack according to the invention.

If the plate pack filled with liquid is then brought into contact with suitable materials, either by brushing past such materials or simply by contacting them, the liquid is released from the pack and transferred to the coated material, especially if the materials themselves are so porous that they develop appropriate capillary forces, e.g. Blotting paper or other capillary-active materials.

  • the free ends of the comb teeth 5 can be closed in a manner not shown by welding, gluing, lasering or the like. In such a way that a plate packet 4 pulled through the hairs of a human head with the comb teeth 5 when the teeth brush past the comb teeth 5 one releases hair treatment liquid stored in the gap-like spaces between the plate pack laterally to the hair without directly wetting the scalp, as is usually desired, for example, when applying hair dye.
  • the gap-shaped interspaces 9 can fluctuate considerably in terms of their distance from one another due to their production-related surface roughness or a special surface design and processing, for example profiling, from which the size of these gap spaces mentioned at the beginning varies between 5 up to 150 ⁇ m explained.

Abstract

Un dispositif de distribution et/ou d'absorption d'un liquide comprend une pluralité de minces plaques et/ou pellicules superposées entre lesquelles sont situés des interstices en forme de fentes de dimensions telles que selon le matériau dont se composent les plaques et/ou les pellicules et selon le liquide à distribuer ou à absorber un transport par capillarité du liquide en question est assuré à travers les interstices en forme de fentes. On peut ainsi avec des moyens simples transporter par capillarité des quantités plus élevées de liquide, le cas échéant contenant de fines particules solides pour de nombreux nouveaux cas d'application. A cet effet, le dispositif forme un objet usuel ou outil manuel avec lequel on peut appliquer un liquide sur des surfaces, ou faire absorber le liquide sur ces surfaces. Au moins une face latérale du paquet de plaques et/ou de pellicules sert de surface de distribution et/ou d'absorption du liquide, tandis que les zones restantes du paquet de plaques et/ou de pellicules emmagasinent le liquide.
