Fluid Dispensing Comb Assembly

Abstract

A fluid dispensing comb assembly includes a comb that has a reservoir integrated therein to contain a fluid. The comb has a plurality of teeth for combing hair and each of the teeth has an opening to dispense the fluid into the hair. A heating element is integrated into the comb for heating the fluid in the reservoir. A plurality of balls is each positioned within a respective one of the teeth. Each of the balls is biased into the opening in the respective tooth for closing the opening to inhibit the fluid from passing through the opening. Each of the balls is urgeable into the respective tooth to facilitate the fluid to pass outwardly through the opening in the respective tooth.

         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said comb has a handle portion extending rearwardly from a head portion, said comb having a divider being positioned therein, said divider dividing said handle portion from said head portion such that said handle portion is fluidly discrete from said head portion, said reservoir being positioned within said head portion. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein each of said teeth extends downwardly from said head portion, each of said teeth having a distal end with respect to said head portion, said opening in each of said teeth extending through said distal end. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein said head portion has a top side, said top side having a fill opening extending into said reservoir wherein said fill opening is configured to fill the reservoir with the fluid. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein said heating element is coupled to said divider having said heating element extending into said reservoir. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , further comprising a power supply being positioned within said handle portion of said comb, said power supply being electrically coupled to said switch, said power supply comprising:
 at least one rechargeable battery being electrically coupled to said switch; and   a charge port being recessed into said handle portion wherein said charge port is configured to receive a charge cord from a power source, said charge port being electrically coupled to said at least one rechargeable battery for charging said at least one rechargeable battery.   
     
     
         7 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said balls has a diameter being greater than the diameter of said opening thereby inhibiting said balls from passing through said opening. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly according to  claim 7 , further comprising a plurality of biasing members, each of said biasing members being positioned within a respective one of said teeth, each of said biasing members engaging said ball in said respective tooth, each of said biasing members biasing said ball into said opening in said respective tooth for closing said opening. 
     
     
         9 . A fluid dispensing comb assembly for dispensing a fluid hair treatment while combing hair, said assembly comprising:
 a comb having a reservoir being integrated therein wherein said reservoir is configured to contain a fluid, said comb having a plurality of teeth for combing hair, each of said teeth having an opening extending into said reservoir wherein each of said teeth is configured to dispense the fluid into the hair, said comb having a handle portion extending rearwardly from a head portion, said comb having a divider being positioned therein, said divider dividing said handle portion from said head portion such that said handle portion is fluidly discrete from said head portion, said reservoir being positioned within said head portion, each of said teeth extending downwardly from said head portion, each of said teeth having a distal end with respect to said head portion, said opening in each of said teeth extending through said distal end, said head portion having a top side, said top side having a fill opening extending into said reservoir wherein said fill opening is configured to fill the reservoir with the fluid;   a heating element being integrated into said comb, said heating element being in thermal communication with said reservoir wherein said heating element is configured to heat the fluid in said reservoir, said heating element being coupled to said divider having said heating element extending into said reservoir;   a switch being slidably coupled to said comb, said switch being electrically coupled to said heating element for turning said heating element on and off, said switch being positioned on said handle portion of said comb;   a power supply being positioned within said handle portion of said comb, said power supply being electrically coupled to said switch, said power supply comprising:
 at least one rechargeable battery being electrically coupled to said switch; and 
 a charge port being recessed into said handle portion wherein said charge port is configured to receive a charge cord from a power source, said charge port being electrically coupled to said at least one rechargeable battery for charging said at least one rechargeable battery; 
   a plurality of balls, each of said balls being positioned within a respective one of said teeth, each of said balls being biased into said opening in said respective tooth for closing said opening wherein each of said balls is configured to inhibit the fluid from passing through said opening, each of said balls having a diameter being greater than the diameter of said opening thereby inhibiting said balls from passing through said opening, each of said balls being urgeable into said respective tooth thereby displacing said balls from said opening in said respective tooth wherein each of said balls is configured to facilitate the fluid to pass outwardly through said opening in said respective tooth; and   a plurality of biasing members, each of said biasing members being positioned within a respective one of said teeth, each of said biasing members engaging said ball in said respective tooth, each of said biasing members biasing said ball into said opening in said respective tooth for closing said opening.   
     
     
         10 .
