[0019] With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 6 thereof, a new disposable hair glue application kit embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

[0020] As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6, the disposable hair glue application kit 10 generally comprises a first applicator tool 12 and a second applicator tool 14. The first applicator tool 12 includes a first handle 18 and a first applicator head 20 designed to apply adhesive glue for lace fronts. The second applicator tool 14 includes a second handle 22 and a second applicator head 24 designed to apply adhesive glue for lace fronts, wherein the second applicator head 24 has a different shape than the first applicator head 20.

[0021] In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 through 4, the disposable hair glue application kit 10 includes a third applicator tool 16. The third applicator tool 16 includes a third handle 26 and a third applicator head 28 designed to apply adhesive glue for lace fronts, wherein the third applicator head 28 has a different shape than each of the first applicator head 20 and the second applicator head 24. The disposable hair glue application kit 10 can have two, three, or more applicator tools.

[0022] In another embodiment, any one of the applicator tools 12, 14, 16 shown in FIGS. 1 through 4 can be sold individually or in a pack, wherein each has an identical design.

[0023] In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 through 4, the first applicator tool 12 includes a pair of the first applicator heads 20, one at each end of the first handle 18. Similarly, the second applicator tool 14 includes a pair of the second applicator heads 24, one at each end of the second handle 22, and the third applicator tool 16 includes a pair of the third applicator heads 28, one at each end of the third handle 26. Alternatively, the applicator tools 12, 14, 16 could have only one applicator head, such as in the example shown in FIG. 5.

[0024] The applicator heads can have virtually any shape. In the exemplary embodiment, the first applicator head 20 is flat and includes a straight applicator edge 30 positioned transverse to the first handle 18. The first applicator head 20 also includes a pair of side edges 32 extending from and transverse to the straight applicator edge 30, which side edges 32 could be straight or have a slight curvature. As shown in FIG. 1, the first applicator head 20 has a rectangular or trapezoidal shape. The second applicator head 24 is flat and includes a curved applicator edge 34 positioned transverse to the second handle 22. The second applicator head 24 includes a pair of curved side edges 36 extending from and transverse to the curved applicator edge 30. As shown in FIG. 1, the second applicator head 24 has a circular or oval shape. The third applicator head 28 includes an applicator point 38 positioned at an end of the third applicator tool 16. The third applicator head 28 includes a tapered portion 40 extending from the third handle 26 to the applicator point 38. As shown in FIG. 1, the third applicator head 28 has a conical shape. Alternatively, the third applicator head 28 could be flat and triangular.

[0025] Each of the first, second, and third applicator tools 12, 14, 16 includes a one-piece plastic structure. In one possible embodiment, each of the first, second, and third applicator tools 12, 14, 16 is a different color. Each of the first, second, and third handles 18, 22, 26 is elongated and cylindrical. Alternatively, the handles 18, 22, 26 could be flat.

[0026] FIGS. 1 and 3 show the first, second, and third applicator tools 12, 14, 16 each having one length, whereas FIGS. 2 and 4 show the first, second, and third applicator tools 12, 14, 16 each having a longer length. In one possible embodiment, the disposable hair glue application kit 10 could include applicator tools 12, 14, 16 of different lengths.

[0027] With reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the disposable hair glue application kit 10 is used to apply adhesive glue 60 when placing lace fronts 62, as well as wigs and hairpieces. FIG. 5 shows the second applicator tool 14 being used to apply and spread the adhesive glue 60. When the user has applied sufficient adhesive glue 60, the user can dispose of the second applicator tool 14. Depending on the particular styling needs, the user can use the first applicator tool 12 and the third applicator tool 16 to apply and spread adhesive glue 60 in different areas and in different ways. Once sufficient adhesive glue 60 has been applied, the user can then place and affix a hairpiece 64 as shown in FIG. 6.

[0028] With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

[0029] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
