Shave brush with gel dispensing system

Abstract

The invention provides an exclusive device for applying shave cream to the body which includes a proprietary, replaceable, Aerosol reservoir (can) that contains shave gel and is small enough to fit in the hand to easily apply the gel to the body. The brush attached to the can contains a brush head. It is designed to aerate and apply the gel in a foamy manner. The dispensing mechanism in the brush contains a simple spring loaded button which, when depressed in a downward direction, allows the gel to move from the can through a delivery tube, through the body of the brush to the hollow core of the bristles of the brush to be applied to the body. This shave cream dispensing system employs simple mechanics and it is small enough for travel.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Shave cream brushes have long been known and widely used to apply shave cream / gel / soap to the body to achieve optimum hydration to the body hairs to be removed via a shaving razor.[0002]Aside from electric razor use, the use of a ‘straight edge’ or ‘safety’ razor typically requires the use of a cream, gel or soap in order to hydrate the whiskers to be shaved from the body. Shave gel is typically dispensed from an aerosol can into the hand of the user. Then spread on the body part to be shaved with the other hand of the user. This application process creates an excess use of the product and an extra step in cleaning as; once applied to the body part to be shaved, the excess shave gel has to be rinsed from the hands before shaving the body part can commence. Using hands to apply shave gel also creates an uneven application of the product to the body part to be shaved.[0003]The use of a shave brush utilizes a brush and a cake of soap stored in a cup.

Benefits of technology

[0008]Therefore, it is the object of this invention to eliminate the aforementioned challenges and create a shaving device that avoids the disadvantages of applying shaving cream as mentioned before.

[0009]In keeping with this object and others which will become apparent hereinafter, this invention includes a proprietary, replaceable, reservoir (aerosol can) which contains shave gel and is small enough to fit in one hand to easily apply the gel to the body. The brush attached to the can contains a brush head. It is designed to aerate and apply the gel in a foamy manner. The dispensing mechanism in the brush contains a simple spring loaded button which, when depressed in a downward direction, allows the gel to move from the nozzle of the can through a delivery tube

Problems solved by technology

Using hands to apply shave gel also creates an uneven application of the product to the body part to be shaved.

Although the brush does provide much better moisturizing action to the body hairs via the swirling motion of the bristles on the whiskers, this process most often, creates an inferior lather and creates a storage issue for the cake of soap and its storage cup.
