Fluid-dispensing comb and method of use

Abstract

A fluid-dispensing comb comprising a handle base including a reservoir to hold a fluid to be dispensed by the fluid-dispensing comb to the scalp; a hollow comb head attached to the handle base, the comb head including a plurality of hollow teeth with curved interior faces and terminating into open ends through which the fluid is dispensed to the scalp.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A fluid-dispensing comb, comprising:
 a handle base including a reservoir to hold a fluid to be dispensed by the fluid-dispensing comb to the scalp;   a hollow comb head attached to the handle base, the comb head including a plurality of hollow teeth with curved interior faces and terminating into open ends through which the fluid is dispensed to the scalp.   
     
     
         2 . The fluid-dispensing comb of  claim 1 , wherein the ends of the teeth are separated by a distance of at least 7 mm. 
     
     
         3 . The fluid-dispensing comb of  claim 1 , wherein the curved interior faces of the plurality of teeth form V-shaped spaces between the curved interior faces of the teeth. 
     
     
         4 . The fluid-dispensing comb of  claim 1 , wherein the ends of the teeth include roller balls that are rotatably received within the ends that roll along the scalp to distribute fluid to the scalp. 
     
     
         5 . The fluid-dispensing comb of  claim 1 , wherein the handle base and the hollow comb head are rotatably attachable and detachable with respect to each other. 
     
     
         6 . The fluid-dispensing comb of  claim 1 , wherein the handle base includes a proximal portion with a suction cup to secure the fluid-dispensing comb upright to a flat horizontal surface. 
     
     
         7 . The fluid-dispensing comb of  claim 1 , wherein the handle base is transparent and includes volume level markings. 
     
     
         8 . A method of using the fluid-dispensing comb of  claim 1 , comprising:
 receiving fluid to be dispensed to the scalp in the fluid-dispensing comb;   based on user input, orienting the fluid-dispensing comb so that liquid flows from the hollow comb head out of the open ends to the scalp.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , further including, based on user input, rotatably detaching the hollow comb head from the base handle and filing the handle with the fluid to be dispensed to the scalp. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the handle base includes a proximal portion with a suction cup to secure the fluid-dispensing comb upright to a flat horizontal surface, and the method further includes, based on user input, securing the fluid-dispensing comb upright to the flat horizontal surface with the suction cup of the handle base. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the ends of the teeth are separated by a distance of at least 7 mm. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the curved interior faces of the plurality of teeth form V-shaped spaces between the curved interior faces of the teeth. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the ends of the teeth include roller balls that are rotatably received within the ends that roll along the scalp to distribute fluid to the scalp. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the handle base is transparent and includes volume level markings.
