Scalp applicator

Abstract

The scalp applicator is a tool that incorporates a distribution manifold, a housing structure, a discharge structure, and a lotion tube. The distribution manifold and the discharge structure form the working element of the tool formed by the scalp applicator. The housing structure forms the handle of the tool formed by the scalp applicator. The distribution manifold attaches to the housing structure. The discharge structure attaches to the housing structure. The lotion tube inserts into the interior of the housing structure. The lotion tube contains a cosmetic media in a liquid phase. The lotion tube is a flexible structure. The lotion tube forms a fluidic connection with the distribution manifold. The discharge structure applies a pressure to the lotion tube. The applied pressure generates the motive forces required to transport the cosmetic media through the distribution manifold into the hair of a client.
