Hair coloring device

Abstract

An improved hair coloring device is a lightweight cylindrical unit measuring approximately four to five inches (4″-5″) in length, with a slightly curved handle to provide a comfortable, ergonomic grip. The hollowed interior of the improved hair coloring device would house the interchangeable cartridge of chosen hair dye, which would extend downward and distribute out of an egress point or nozzle. A comb attachment, and an optional brush attachment are able to be inserted into this nozzle as well. Premixed and comprised of colorant ingredients, the dye cartridges for the improved hair coloring device would be produced in a manageable mousse form, as well as a liquid form, with a virtually endless array of shades to match the popular hair colorants available on the market, as well as any user's own natural hair color. A battery operated, automatic dispenser is also available for times when house current is not available.

What is claimed is new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims: 
     
         1 . A hair coloring device for covering gray hair, comprising:
 a main body including:
 a front portion;
 wherein said front portion includes:
 a first aperture therethrough adapted to allow a button member to extend therethrough; and 
 a second aperture therethrough adapted to allow a tube member to extend therethrough, and a comb attachment to releasably connect thereto and connect with said tube member; <a back portion releasably connected with said front portion wherein said main body forms a hollow interior volume; 
 
 
   a color canister including:
 a canister body including:
 an aperture therethrough;
 wherein said aperture is adapted to allow liquid colorant to pass therethrough, and is adapted to releasably connect with said tube member; and 
 
 wherein said canister body forms a hollow interior volume, and is adapted to fit within said interior volume of said main body; and 
 a liquid colorant;
 wherein said liquid colorant is disposed within said interior volume of said canister body; 
 
 
 a comb attachment including:
 a hollow interior adapted to allow said liquid colorant to pass therethrough; 
 an end portion adapted to releasably connect with said second aperture of said main body; and 
 bristle members attached to an opposite end from said end portion and adapted to receive said liquid colorant thereon and be used to place said liquid colorant upon the hair of a user; 
 
 an optional brush attachment including:
 a hollow interior adapted to allow said liquid colorant to pass therethrough; 
 an end portion adapted to releasably connect with said second aperture of said main body; and 
 bristle members attached to an opposite end from said end portion and adapted to receive said liquid colorant thereon and be used to place said liquid colorant upon the hair of a user; 
 
 a tube member;
 wherein said tube member is adapted to be releasably connected between said end portion of said comb attachment and said aperture of said color canister, such that said liquid colorant can pass from said color canister to said comb attachment; and 
 
 a button member;
 wherein said button member is attached to said first aperture of said main body and is adapted to connect with one of said tube member and said color canister and adapted to allow and to cut off flow of said liquid colorant between said color canister and said comb attachment. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The hair coloring device of  claim 1 , wherein said main body is formed having a cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         3 . The hair coloring device of  claim 1 , wherein said main body is formed from a material chosen from a group of materials consisting of plastic, stainless steel, and ceramic. 
     
     
         4 . The hair coloring device of  claim 2 , wherein said main body is formed having a length between 4 inches and 5 inches. 
     
     
         5 . The hair coloring device of  claim 1 , wherein said main body is formed having a cross-section that is curved to thereby provide a curved gripping area. 
     
     
         6 . The hair coloring device of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of said color canisters, such that said color canister can be interchangeable and replaced by another chosen canister; and wherein each of said plurality of said color canisters includes a liquid colorant that is different from the liquid colorant of the rest, thereby offering a user a choice of liquid colorants to choose from. 
     
     
         7 . The hair coloring device of  claim 1 , wherein said color canister is pressurized. 
     
     
         8 . The hair coloring device of  claim 6 , wherein each of said plurality of color canisters are pressurized. 
     
     
         9 . The hair coloring device of  claim 1 , wherein said main body includes a plurality of ridges on an exterior surface thereof adapted to allow a user to more securely grip said hair coloring device. 
     
     
         10 . The hair coloring device of  claim 1 , wherein said back portion of said main body is releasably connected to said front portion through respective interdigitating screw threads. 
     
     
         11 . The hair coloring device of  claim 1 , wherein said end portion of said comb attachment is releasably connected with said second aperture of said main body through respective interdigitating screw threads. 
     
     
         12 . The hair coloring device of  claim 1 , wherein said comb attachment is formed from a plastic material. 
     
     
         13 . The hair coloring device of  claim 1 , wherein said liquid colorant is formed as a liquid foam mousse. 
     
     
         14 . The hair coloring device of  claim 1 , wherein said button member is adapted such that when pressed creates a pressure inside said tube member forcing said liquid colorant to pass from said color canister, through said tube member and into and out of said comb attachment.
