Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a container accessory of the form as defined in the preamble of claim 1.

[0002]

2. Description of the Prior Art An accessory for applying a liquid hair treatment composition to a hair, which has a projection and is connected to a container, is known, for example, from US Pat. No. 5,311,871 A1. It is used, in particular when working alone, with the aim of moistening the whole hair or the hair tress as completely as possible with a hair treatment agent, for example a hair dye.
In this case, the operation is performed so that the protrusion passes between the hairs many times in a state where the hair treatment agent is leached. Thus, the hair treatment agent cannot be sufficiently applied except by re-applying the hair treatment agent to the hair bundle again by hand (which is usually protected). In particular, the application of a hair treatment agent to hair or long hair bundles far from the scalp is very problematic.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention relates to a container accessory of the above-mentioned type, which is used for treating a hair, especially a hair far away from the scalp, with a hair treatment agent such as a hair dye. The object of the present invention is to provide a container accessory which can be sufficiently moistened with the aid of a hairdresser, and in which case it is not necessary to reapply the hair treatment agent by hand.

[0004]

This object is achieved by the features of the first aspect. Further preferred embodiments of the invention are as described in the dependent claims. That is, a plurality of projections having substantially the same length are arranged on the projection base, and each of the projections is provided with an internal conduit, and a first outlet of the conduit is provided at one or more locations at the tip of the projection. In the container accessory for applying a liquid hair treatment agent to the hair, in the form as described above, the application of the treatment agent can be selected by a manually operable switching device by further providing a second outlet on the projection base. ,
This can be done through the first outlet in the first position and through the second outlet in the second position. The first position is particularly effective for hair near the scalp, and the hair treatment agent is applied through a first outlet provided at the tip of the projection. The second position is particularly useful for long hair or long hair bundles far away from the scalp, and the application of the hair treatment agent takes place through a second outlet provided in the projection base. In this case, the first outlet provided at the projection tip passes between the hairs without wetting the hair bundle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an accessory 1 of a container for applying a liquid hair treatment agent 2 to hair. It has three projections 3 of substantially the same length on a projection base 4. Each of the projections 3 is provided with an internal conduit 5, and the portion 6 of the projection tip 7 is provided with one or more first outlets 8. The second outlet 1 is provided on the projection base 4.
2 is provided and is selectively operated by a manually operable switching device 13 through a first outlet 8 in a first position A (for relatively short hair) and in a second position B (FIG. 2). A hair treatment agent is applied through the second outlet 12 (for relatively long hair). Switching device 13
For example, a rotary valve 14 having an adjusting mechanism 15 is used. This is installed in the projection base 4. The adjusting mechanism 15 is in the form of a lever 16 or a handle 17. The rotary valve 14 is provided with a hollow groove 18,
A first passage port 19 and a second passage port 20 are provided therearound. A third passage opening 21 and a fourth passage opening 22 are provided at positions at an angle of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction, through which the hair treatment agent 2 flows into the hollow groove 18 from the container 10 (FIG. 5). I can do it. In the first position A, the hair treatment agent passes through three first passage openings 19,
Out through the internal conduit 5 of the. In this case the second exit 12
Is closed. At the second position B (rotated to the left by 90 degrees with respect to the first position A), the hair treatment agent passes through the fourth passage 2
2 through four second passage openings 20 and further through four second outlets 12. In this case, the inner conduit 5 is closed. Instead of the rotary valve 14, it is also possible to provide a corresponding slide valve (not shown here). The switching device 13 can further be provided with a third position (not shown here). In this position, the internal conduit 5 and the second outlet for the first outlet 8 are closed. Two comb-like projections 9 are arranged between the three projections 3 and have the maximum length of the projections 3.
By disposing the comb-like projections 9 between the projections 3, the hair treatment agent 2 can be uniformly and satisfactorily dispersed in the hair. In addition, since the hair in a dry state is loosened by the comb-like projections 9, the hair treatment agent can be quickly and easily applied. Further, the comb function of the comb-shaped projection 9 can prevent the hair from slipping off the projection 3. The comb-like projections 9 have a conical shape and preferably have approximately half the length of the projections 3 so that a considerably thicker hair bundle can pass between them. The first outlet 8 is optionally provided at the tip 7 (FIG. 5) or the side surface (FIGS. 1 to 4) of the projection 3. When the first outlet 8 is arranged on the side, there is an advantage that direct contact with the scalp can be avoided. The protrusions 3 and the comb-like protrusions 9 are arranged in a line. In this case, the first outlets 8 are arranged on the same plane. To connect the accessory 1 to a crushable container 10 (shown in dotted lines), the accessory 1 is provided with internal threads 11 and corresponding external threads at the neck of the container 10. At least the projections 3 are preferably in a resilient configuration, which can correspond to the shape of the head.

FIG. 3 shows a cross section taken along the line III-III shown in FIG.
The arrangement of the first and fourth passage openings 22 is shown in detail.
FIG. 4 illustrates a cross section taken along line IV-IV illustrated in FIG. 2, and illustrates the arrangement of the second passage openings 20 in detail.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the container accessory 1, in which the second outlet 12 is particularly shown in detail. First outlet 8 and second outlet 12 can be selectively sealed using a sealing cap, not shown here.
