Product dispensing hairbrush

Abstract

A hairbrush for distributing a substance over a user or client's scalp is disclosed. The hairbrush has a head portion having a proximal end, a distal end, an internal portion, and a front face, a plurality of bristles outwardly extending from the front face of the head portion, a handle comprising a hollow interior and at least one side aperture, and a bulb positioned in the hollow interior of the housing. The bulb is configured to house the substance and is exposed at the at least one side aperture to allow the user to apply a pressure to the bulb excrete the substance to the front face of the head portion in response to the pressure being applied to the bulb.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hairbrush for distributing a substance over a user or client's scalp, comprising:
 a head portion having a proximal end, a distal end, an internal portion, and a front face;   a plurality of bristles outwardly extending from the front face of the head portion;   a handle comprising a hollow interior and at least one side aperture;   a bulb positioned in the hollow interior of the housing, wherein the bulb is configured to house the substance, wherein the bulb comprises a body, an opened top end, a lower tube portion and an open bottom end, wherein the body of the bulb is exposed at the at least one side aperture to allow the user to apply a pressure to the blub;   at least one nozzle positioned on the front face at the proximal or distal end of the head portion, wherein the at least one nozzle is configured to excrete the substance to the front face of the head portion in response to the pressure being applied to the bulb.   
     
     
         2 . The hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the internal portion of the head comprises:
 a distal cavity;   a proximal cavity;   a trammel separating the distal cavity from proximal cavity and further configured to form dimensions of the each of the cavities by providing sidewalls thereof;   wherein the distal cavity and the proximal cavity are configured and dimensioned to retain the substance introduced from the bulb when the pressure is applied to the bulb by the user.   
     
     
         3 . The hairbrush of  claim 2 , further comprising a back cover configured to cover a back of the brush head and each of the cavities. 
     
     
         4 . The hairbrush of  claim 2 , wherein the trammel comprises a middle pipe configured to connect the distal cavity to the proximal cavity, wherein the middle pipe is a hollow aperture in the trammel and is further configured to pipe the substance from the distal cavity to the proximal cavity when the user applies pressure to the bulb. 
     
     
         5 . The hairbrush of  claim 2 , wherein the distal cavity is in fluid communication with the handle via a handle pipe, wherein the handle pipe is a hollow aperture in the handle so that the handle is in fluid communication with the bulb. 
     
     
         6 . The hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one nozzle comprises a distal nozzle and a proximal nozzle, each of which are positioned on the front face of the body and each of which are configured to eject the substance in response to the application of pressure by the user on the bulb. 
     
     
         7 . The hairbrush of  claim 6 , wherein the distal nozzle comprises a hollow curved body in fluid communication with the distal cavity and a spout in fluid communication with the hollow curved body. 
     
     
         8 . The hairbrush of  claim 6 , wherein the proximal nozzle comprises a hollow curved body in fluid communication with the proximal cavity and a spout in fluid communication with the hollow curved body. 
     
     
         9 . The hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the front face is coated with a hydrophilic substance so that the product doesn't run off the front face and to ensure the product coats the entire front face while in use. 
     
     
         10 . The hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the bulb is formed from a material that has a low modulus of elasticity and is capability of sustaining a deformation and after such deformation, forcibly retracts to its original dimensions. 
     
     
         11 . The hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the bulb comprises:
 a main body;   a tube portion connected to a bottom end of the main body, wherein the tube portion is made of material that is more rigid than the bulb body, wherein the tube is configured to allow a user to fill the bulb with the substance, wherein the tube portion comprises an opening in its bottom end.   
     
     
         12 . The hairbrush of  claim 11 , wherein the main body of the bulb protrudes slightly from the handle allowing the user to, in a single gesture, squeeze product from the brush handle and out of the nozzles during use. 
     
     
         13 . The hairbrush of  claim 1 , further comprising a removable cap threadably secured to a bottom portion of the handle, wherein the removable cap is configured to enable the user to fill or refill the internal cavity of the handle with one or more hair care products or substances. 
     
     
         14 . The hairbrush of  claim 7 , wherein the spout comprises a hinged cap. 
     
     
         15 . A method of applying a substance to the scalp of a user, the method comprising:
 providing a hairbrush having a head portion, a proximal end, a distal end, an internal portion, a front face, and a handle comprising a hollow interior and at least one side aperture, a bulb positioned in the hollow interior of the housing, wherein the bulb is configured to house the substance, wherein the bulb comprises a body, an opened top end, a lower tube portion and an open bottom end, wherein the body portion of the bulb is exposed at the at least one side aperture to allow for the user to apply pressure to the bulb, at least one nozzle positioned on the front face at the proximal or distal end of the head portion; and   applying a pressure to the body of the bulb to eject the substance to the front face of the head portion in response to pressure being applied to the bulb.
