Applicator device for a hair strand dyeing or lightening product, or for any other hair treatment

Abstract

Applicator for coloring or bleaching product for hair tresses or other hair treatment, includes a lower jaw, planar and smooth on its base, constituting a coloring compartment or area fed by the treatment product, and an upper jaw, jointed with the lower jaw, maintained closed upon it through the action of a rebound spring, requiring the tip of the jaw which comprises a joint with a soft lip to clamp the selected tresses previously added to the coloring area on the lower jaw. The joint having a lip ( 9 ) has a tapered shape along its width making a distribution and spreading area for applying color, where the traction of the tool towards the rear naturally crushes a corner of dye and causes its natural diffusion inside each tress of hair. One or more moveable reservoirs containing the coloring composition, clamped above the upper jaw, feed the coloring compartment by pressing a button.

1 . An applicator for a hair strand dyeing or lightening product or for any other hair treatment, in the form of tongs, characterized by its lower jaw Rep. 1 , plane and smooth at its base Rep. 5  delimited by its sidewalls Rep. 6 , which form a compartment of a dyeing area supplied with the dyeing, lightening or treatment product, and then by its upper jaw Rep. 2 , which may be translucent so as to allow the operator to control the work taking place inside the device, jointed on the previous one at the axis Rep. 7 , maintained closed on the latter by the action of the return spring Rep. 8 , forcing the end of the jaw which comprises a flexible seal gasket Rep. 9  to strongly press on the base of the lower jaw and therefore providing an energetic nip of the selected strands introduced beforehand in said dyeing area, this lip seal gasket also providing the seal at the sidewalls Rep. 6 , which may also be translucent, having over the whole of its width a relieving shape Rep. 10  somewhat providing a distributing and spreading area for applying the dye, the backward pull of the tongs naturally squeezing the product, which induces its natural diffusion inside each of the hair strands while the gasket Rep. 13  located in the rear portion of the jaw Rep. 2  prevents external overflows. 
   
   
       2 . The applicator for a hair strand dyeing or lightening product or for any other hair treatment according to  claim 1 , characterized by a removable reservoir Rep. 3  having a main axis Rep. 14 , containing the composition for dyeing or lightening or any other treatment for hair, clamped above the upper jaw Rep. 2 , comprising at its end a tubular conduit Rep. 16  which will fit into the feeding orifice Rep. 12  passing through the upper jaw Rep. 2 , and then the lip seal gasket in its centre at right angles to the dyeing area, the main axis having in the rear portion a push-rod Rep. 19 , equipped with a piston Rep. 17  sealed by the O-ring Rep. 18 , allowing sliding inside the reservoir for pushing back the product into the dyeing area.
