Embodiment Construction

[0013]FIG. 1 shows a hairbrush 100 with a fluid regulation valve disclosed that is configured for dispensing fluids or hair products of varying viscosity levels through the at least three openings 109, 110, 111 in the head 107 of the hairbrush 100 onto a user's hair and / or scalp in a drizzling manner. While fluids of low viscosity levels, i.e. watery fluids, may be used with the hairbrush 100, such as leave-in conditioners, use of higher viscosity level fluids, i.e. thicker fluids, such as hair gels, mousse, or thicker conditioners is also contemplated. Once the fluid is dispersed, the user can spread the fluid using the bristles 108 of the hairbrush 100 in a brushing motion.

[0014]Use of the hairbrush 100 prevents a user from unwanted contact on a user's hands with fluids. Many hair products can be sticky or cause dry skin on a user's hands, and in some cases, a user's skin may become irritated by a hair product that may not irritate the user's scalp. Further, use of a fluid dispens...

Abstract

A fluid dispensing hairbrush with a regulation valve is disclosed for dispensing hair products onto a user's hair and/or scalp, particularly viscous fluids, such as gel, mousse, or thick conditioners, in a drizzling manner. The valve is adjustable for use with various fluids depending upon viscosity levels, as well as amounts of fluid to dispense. Use of the hairbrush prevents a user from unwanted contact on a user's hands with fluids. Many hair products can be sticky or cause dry skin on a user's hands, and in some cases, a user's skin may become irritated by a hair product that may not irritate the user's scalp. Further, use of a fluid dispensing hairbrush can expedite one's hair preparation routine substantially.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION [0001]This application claims priority on co-pending U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60 / 753,355 filed on Dec. 22, 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002]This invention relates to a fluid dispensing hairbrush, and particularly to a hairbrush with a regulation valve for releasing various fluids of varying levels of viscosity, such as gel, mousse, thick conditioners, as well as more watery leave-in conditioners, and the like onto a user's hair and / or scalp.BACKGROUND [0003]Certain fluid dispensing hairbrushes are known in the art and are useful for releasing fluids on hair and / or scalp for dissemination by the hairbrush bristles. Fluid dispensing hairbrushes known in the art most commonly dispense less viscous fluids, such as leave-in conditioners, or even hairspray that a user mists onto hair. Many hair products can be sticky or cause dry skin on a user's hands, and in some cases, a user's...
