Hair care product applicator apparatus

Abstract

A hair preparation applicator apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a container for holding the hair preparation; a reservoir for holding a predefined amount of the hair preparation, wherein the reservoir is attached to the container; an orifice in the reservoir adjacent to the container for allowing hair preparation to flow from the container into the reservoir; at least one tubular element extending from the reservoir and having an interior volume continuous with an interior volume of the reservoir; and wherein each of the at least one tubular elements includes a roller ball on a first end that allows hair preparation to exit the first end for application to a consumer's skin via the roller ball.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a hair preparation applicator apparatus that includes a container for holding the hair preparation, a reservoir for holding a predefined amount of the hair preparation, an orifice in the reservoir for allowing the hair preparation to flow from the container into the reservoir, at least one tubular element extending from the reservoir and having an interior volume continuous with the interior volume of the reservoir, and wherein each of the at least one tubular elements includes a roller ball on a first end that allows the hair preparation to exit the first end for application to a consumer's skin via the roller ball. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and efficient way to apply hair preparations to consumers' skin.

Problems solved by technology

One of the problems with the aforementioned conventional apparatus for applying hair growth preparation to a consumer's scalp is that the application process can be messy.

Once applied to the user's scalp, the hair growth preparation, being a liquid, can drip down onto the consumer's forehead, eyes and face, which can be annoying to a consumer and requires clean-up afterwards.

Much of the hair growth preparation ends up on a consumer's hair, which is wasteful, since the preparation must be applied to the scalp.

Further, the manual massaging process requires that the consumer wash his hands to remove the hair growth preparation from his hands.

Another problem with the conventional apparatus is that the consumer must use his hands during the massaging process, which can cause hair to grow on the consumer's hands, due to the nature of the hair growth preparation.

Finally, the conventional apparatus can be unwieldy and difficult to use on a daily basis, which is usually required for hair growth preparations.
