Claims
I claim:
1. A cosmetic spray comb device for both combing the hair and
spraying the hair, said spray comb device comprising:
A comb;
An elongated, generally cylindrical container having an open
end;
Means attaching said container to one end of said comb with said
open end adjacent said one end of the comb, and with the container
extending outwardly away from said one end and inclined forwardly
relative to the direction of motion of the comb in use;
And a spray can disposed in said container and having a manually
operable release valve projecting out of said container adjacent
said one end of said comb, said release valve including a discharge
port positioned by the container to direct spray from the spray can
into the path of said comb during use;
And said attaching means defining an opening through which spray
from said discharge port is directed 5 into the path of the
comb.
2. A cosmetic spray comb device as defined in claim 1 in which said
attaching means is a bifurcated member having legs connected to
said container on opposite side of said discharge port.
3. A cosmetic spray comb device as defined in claim 1 in which said
container has means adjacent said open end for bearing against one
end of said can while said release valve projects through said open
end, and has a removable cap closing the other end of the
container.
4. A cosmetic spray comb device for both combing the hair and
spraying the hair with a spray can having a manually operable
release valve with a discharge port for directing spray along a
predetermined path, said spray comb device comprising:
a comb;
and means attached to one end of said comb for holding a spray can
on the comb with the discharge port of the spray can clear of
obstructions and positioned to incline the spray from the can into
the path of the comb and in advance of the latter during
combing.
5. A cosmetic spray comb device as defined in claim 4 in which said
means comprise:
container means for holding a spray can with the release valve and
discharge port exposed adjacent said one end of said comb;
and attaching means connected to said one end and to said container
means, and holding the latter at an angle inclined outwardly away
from said one end and forwardly relative to the direction of motion
of the comb in use.
Description
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
My invention is directed toward apparatus for both combing hair and
spraying suitable hair treatment material onto the hair. Such
material can be, for example, a hair dye, a hair set, a hair
shampoo or the like. Thus I have invented a cosmetic spray comb
which can be used on pets as well as on human beings.
To this end I provide a spray can carrying said material and having
a manually operable release valve. I also provide a comb and means
securing one end of said comb to additional means containing the
can whereby comb and/or spray can be used separately or together as
required.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a side view of my invention;
FIG. 2 is a top view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a view taken along line 3--3 in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 4 is a view taken along 4--4 in FIG. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring now to FIGS. 1-4, a hollow cylindrical container 10 has a
removable screw cap 12 at one end, an inwardly directed shoulder 14
remote from the end and a bifurcated member 16 extending out of the
shoulder which terminates in a cylindrical half section 18. Section
18 is hollow and is secured at a remote point from the cylinder to
one end of a comb 20. Member 16 has an opening 22. A spray can 24
filled with suitable hair treatment material 32 is disposed in the
container in a removable manner. The top end of the can bears
against the shoulder and the manually operable valve 26 extends out
of the opening 22 whereby the discharge port 28 of the valve is
clear of obstructions to permit the spray to be directed as
desired.
A coil spring 30 is disposed in the container between the cap and
the bottom end of the can to hold same in position for use in the
manner previously described.
While I have described my invention with particular reference to
the drawings, such is not to be considered as limiting is actual
scope.
Having thus described this invention, what is asserted as new
is:
