Oil Dispensing Beard Comb with Pump System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing liquid dispensing brushes are not suitable for applying treatments to beards, as they are designed for hair and scalp application, leading to messy and inefficient liquid distribution.
Innovation Solution
An oil dispensing beard comb with a body, teeth, and a pump system that integrates an oil bottle, featuring passageways and conduits for controlled oil distribution through teeth, allowing for efficient application of oil to the beard and skin.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If liquid is placed in a container with a long spout for application to scalp or skin, then the liquid can be delivered directly to the target area, but the liquid runs off the scalp or skin before it can be rubbed in
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid delivery system is segmented into multiple discrete dispensing points (holes in the brush head) rather than a single spout, allowing liquid to be distributed across multiple locations simultaneously, which prevents running off and improves retention on the scalp or skin
Solution Approach 2:
The brush head acts as an intermediary between the liquid container and the scalp/skin, providing a structured interface that distributes liquid through its holes and bristles, enabling controlled application and preventing the liquid from running off before absorption
2Adaptability or versatility
If liquid dispensing brushes are used for hair and scalp application, then liquid can be applied to hair, but they are not suitable for applying treatments to beards
Solution Approach 1:
The brush head is designed with universal applicability by incorporating both bristles and holes that can effectively treat different types of hair (head hair and beard hair) and underlying skin, making a single product suitable for multiple application targets without requiring separate specialized designs
3Ease of operation
If liquid is sprayed onto the desired area and rubbed in with hands, then the liquid can be applied to the scalp or skin, but the method is messy and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The brush head serves as an intermediary tool between the liquid container and the user's hands, providing a structured mechanism that distributes liquid through its holes and bristles directly onto the scalp or skin, eliminating the need for manual rubbing and preventing messiness during application
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The comb provides a convenient and controlled method for applying oil to beards, preventing liquid from running off and ensuring even distribution through oil collection grooves, enhancing user experience and application efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
A pump is carried by an upper portion of the body, and an oil bottle is coupled to the pump... When the opening is aligned with the at least one passageway in the body, the oil is directed to the at least one passageway
Data Source
AI summary
An oil dispensing beard comb includes a body, and teeth extending outwards from a lower portion of the body. The teeth have oil dispensing openings therein. A pump is carried by an upper portion of the body, and an oil bottle is coupled to the pump at the upper portion of the body. The body has at least one passageway therein extending between the pump and the oil dispensing openings in the teeth.
