Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a hair dyeing apparatus and
more particularly, a hair dyeing apparatus with a brush applying
colorant and a comb entangling the hair.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Hair dyeing is used to give unique look to the hair by
partially or fully changing the hair. In general, a hair dyeing
process can be performed according to the following steps. First,
ingredients for the colorant are mixed in the separate bottle until
they are well combined. Second, the colorant is applied onto the
hair with a brush. Then, the hair on which the colorant is applied
can be entangled with a comb. After leaving the colorant in the
hair for a while and rinsing the hair, the hair color can be
changed.
[0003] Generally, a brush applying the colorant and a comb
entangling the hair are separate apparatuses, which makes the hair
dyeing process complicated and inconvenience. In order to solve
these problems, Korean Utility Model Publication No.
20-2009-0005692 suggests a comb for a hair coloring. It discloses a
comb for a hair coloring comprising: a main toothcomb part 20'
having different sizes of tooth in a front of the comb, a sliding
guide groove 50' formed in a lateral side between the main tooth
comb part 20' and the opposite part thereof; a parting toothcomb
30' formed in the end of a handle configured in the opposite side
of the sliding guide grove 50', and the handle 10' having a
plurality of acupressure bumps. The comb comprises a dyeing brush
disposed in the edge or the lateral side of the main toothcomb
part. With a combination of the dyeing brush and the toothcomb
part, this structure enables a hair dyeing process quick.
[0004] However, according to this conventional structure, as the
dyeing brush is formed in the lateral side of the toothcomb part,
the dyeing brush or the toothcomb part can interfere with the hair.
Thus, when applying the colorant onto the hair with the dyeing
brush, the hair is tangled with the toothcomb part. Likewise, when
combing the hair with the toothcomb part, the hair is tangled with
the dyeing brush.
[0005] In addition, according to the prior art, a user has to make
the colorant by mixing ingredients in a separate bottle. A user
also has to take a small amount of the colorant from the bottle
with the dyeing brush and bring it onto the hair. During this
process, the colorant is spilt and dropped on skin, clothes, or
floor, which causes skin problems and leaves colorant stains.
[0006] The present invention provides a hair dyeing apparatus that
integrates a bottle for mixing the colorant ingredients, a brush
for applying the dye, and a comb as one body. According to this
structure, a user does not need to prepare for a separate bottle
and take a certain amount of ingredient from the product, which
enables convenient use. In addition, this structure prevents from
drips and spills of the colorant. Furthermore, an individual as
well as a professional hairdresser can evenly apply the colorant
onto the hair.
[0007] Therefore, according to the hair dyeing apparatus of the
present invention, a user can evenly apply the colorant on the hair
and perform a hair dyeing process quick and easy with one
integrated body of a bottle, a comb, and a brush.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The present invention provides a hair dyeing apparatus
comprising: a body part having an interior space containing a
colorant; a cover part connecting a top of the body part and

part. The flow path comprises a first part extended inside the
handle part, a second part exposed to outside and connected to an
end of the first part, and a flow path connection forming a screw
joint between the first and the second part, wherein the flow path
connection comprises a first connection part formed in the end of
the first part, and a second connection part formed in an end of
the second part.
[0012] In the second and the third embodiment of the present
invention, the hair dyeing apparatus may further comprise a parting
rod. The parting rod is protruded from a lateral side of the brush
part and bent toward a top direction, where the top direction is a
direction from the body part toward the brush part, and a bottom

[0024] Referring to FIG. 2, the present invention comprises a body
part 100 having an interior space containing the colorant, a cover
part 200 connecting a top of the body part and sealing the interior
space, a handle part 300 protruding upward from a center of the
cover part with a certain diameter, a brush part 310 formed in an
end of the handle part 300, an application part 400 including an
outflow hole 420 communicating with the interior space of the body
part 100, and a comb part 500 including a plurality of combtooth
501 protruding outward. The cover part 100, handle part 300, and
the comb part 500, and the brush part 310 are formed, or
integrated, as one body.
[0025] The plurality of combtooth 501 of the comb part 500 may
comprise multiple teeth, each having the same height or different
heights. The multiple teeth may also have the same thickness or
different thicknesses.
[0026] The body part 100 is made of elastic materials. Accordingly,
when the body part 100 is pressurized, the colorant contained in
the interior space of the body part 100 is discharged through the
outflow hole 420. The colorant discharged from the outflow hole 420
is evenly applied onto the hair using at least one of the comb part
500 and the brush part 310. The application part 400 comprises a
flow path 430 having a pipe shape, which includes an inflow hole
410 formed in one end thereof and the outflow hole 420 in the other
end thereof. The colorant is introduced through the inflow hole 410

430 is formed the inside of the cover part 200. The flow path 430
is extended from the inside of the handle part 300 toward the other
end of the combtooth 501. The other end of the flow path 430 splits
to a plurality of ends, thereby the flow path 430 having a
plurality of outflow holes 420 as described above. The plurality of
outflow hole 420 are respectively disposed in the ends of the
plurality of the combtooth 501. According to the structure
described above, when the body part 100 is pressurized in a state
that the body part 100 is sealed by the cover part 200, the
colorant contained in the body part 100 is introduced through the
single inflow hole 410 into the flow path 430, and the colorant
delivered through the flow path 430 is discharged through the
plurality of the outflow holes 420 to outside.
[0032] FIG. 5 is a side view showing a hair dyeing apparatus
according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
[0033] Referring to FIG. 5, a comb part 500 is formed in a bottom
of the body part 100. The comb part 500 is formed, or integrated
with the body part 100 as one body. A protruding direction of a
combtooth 501 of the comb part 500 is parallel to a longitudinal
direction of the body part 100. A flow path 430 of an application
part 400 is plural, and each of the flow path 430 is extended from
the bottom of the body part 100 toward each end of the combtooth
501. An inflow hole 410 is plural and formed in the bottom of the
body part 100. As an outflow hole 420 is formed in the end of at
least one of the combtooth 501, the colorant introduced through the
inflow hole 410 is discharged through the outflow hole 420. The
number of the inflow hole 410 corresponds to that of the outflow
hole 420, and the flow path 430 connects the inflow hole 410 to the
corresponding outflow hole 420.
[0034] FIG. 6 is a side view showing a hair dyeing apparatus
according to the third embodiment of the present invention.
[0035] Referring to FIG. 6, a comb part 500 is formed in a bottom
of the body part 100. The comb part 500 is integrated with the body
part 100 as one body. A protruding direction of a combtooth 501 of
the comb part 500 is parallel to a longitudinal direction of the
body part 100. One end of the flow path 430 of an application part
400 is extended inside the handle part 300, and the flow path 430
comprises at least one of bent portion. In this case, it is desired
that the bent portion of the flow path 430 should be rounded or
curved in order for the colorant to be smoothly moved and
discharged. In addition, the other end of the flow path 430 is
protruded from the handle part 300, and the outflow hole 420 is
exposed to outside. The inflow hole 410 disposed in the end of the
