Apparatus for automatic application of compositions to the skin

Abstract

An apparatus is described for the coating of a human body with a tanning composition, such as a sunless tanning composition, wherein an arm with a plurality of nozzles thereon traverses within a booth to spray coat a body in the booth. The spray nozzles are oriented to avoid opposing air flows and excessive air flows which cause inefficient and uneven, dripping or streaking in the deposition of tanning composition on the skin. In another aspect, the apparatus provides for a foot rinser to rinse the feet of a user while the apparatus applies a sunless tanning composition to the user to avoid overly darkening the user's feet. In yet another aspect, the apparatus provides for a sanitation system to wash-down the spray booth between successive uses.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . Apparatus for spray application of a composition on a human which comprises the presence of distinctive indicia on a lower horizontal surface to guide the placement of the feet of a human using the spray application to an optimum distance from the spray applicator.  
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  in which said indicia is a stripe.  
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2  in which said stripe is a markedly different color than the rest of said lower horizontal surface.
