Touch up/moustache hair fluid applicator

Abstract

A hair fluid applicator dispensing member for dispensing a fluid includes a body having a proximate end and a distal end and a bendable neck disposed between the proximate end and the distal end. The dispensing member also includes a plurality of bristles extending from the distal end. One or more orifices can be provided in the distal end that are fluidly connectable to the fluid during dispensing of the fluid. In other embodiments, the distal end includes a plurality of bristles with at least one of the bristles including an orifice that is fluidly connectable to the fluid during dispensing of the fluid. The fluid can include at least one of dye, colorant, shampoo, conditioner, and hair straightener.

       2 . The dispensing member of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more orifices in the distal end fluidly connectable to the fluid during dispensing of the fluid.  
   
   
       3 . The dispensing member of  claim 1 , wherein the distal end includes a plurality of bristles, at least one of the bristles including an orifice that is fluidly connectable to the fluid during dispensing of the fluid.  
   
   
       4 . The dispensing member of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more orifices in the distal end fluidly connectable to the fluid during dispensing of the fluid, the distal end also including a plurality of bristles, at least one of the bristles including an orifice that is fluidly connectable to the fluid during dispensing of the fluid.  
   
   
       5 . The hair fluid applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the fluid includes at least one of dye, colorant, shampoo, conditioner, and hair straightener.  
   
   
       6 . A hair fluid applicator, comprising: 
 a collapsible fluid container for containing a fluid, the fluid container having an open end for allowing egress of the fluid;    a compressible air container encasing a majority of the fluid container;    a one-way air valve configured to allow air into the air container and to prevent air from exiting therefrom;    a dispensing member having a proximate end attachable to the air container and a distal end having at least one orifice in fluid communication with the open end of the fluid container, there being a bendable neck disposed between the proximate end and the distal end; and    a one-way fluid valve disposed between the open end of the fluid container and the dispensing member, the one-way fluid valve allowing egress of the fluid while preventing fluid from entering the fluid container.    
   
   
       7 . The hair fluid applicator of  claim 6 , wherein the distal end includes a plurality of bendable bristles.  
   
   
       8 . The hair fluid applicator of  claim 6 , further comprising one or more orifices in the distal end fluidly connectable to the open end of the fluid container.  
   
   
       9 . The hair fluid applicator of  claim 6 , wherein the distal end includes a plurality of bristles, at least one of the bristles including an orifice that is fluidly connectable to the open end of the fluid container.  
   
   
       10 . The hair fluid applicator of  claim 6 , further comprising one or more orifices in the distal end fluidly connectable to the open end of the fluid container, the distal end also including a plurality of bristles, at least one of the bristles including an orifice that is fluidly connectable to the open end of the fluid container.  
   
   
       11 . The hair fluid applicator of  claim 6 , wherein the distal end includes a plurality of bristles, at least one of the bristles including an orifice that is fluidly connectable to the open end of the fluid container.  
   
   
       12 . The hair fluid applicator of  claim 6 , wherein the fluid includes at least one of dye, colorant, shampoo, conditioner, and hair straightener.  
   
   
       13 . A hair fluid applicator, comprising: 
 a collapsible fluid container for containing a liquid, the fluid container having an open end for allowing egress of the liquid;    a one-way fluid valve in communication with the open end of the fluid container for allowing egress of the liquid;    a compressible air container encasing at least part of the fluid container, the air container having an open end for receiving the fluid container, the air container also including a one-way air valve for allowing air into the air container while preventing air from exiting therefrom; and    a dispensing member connectable to the air container for delivering fluid to hair to be treated, the dispensing member including one or more orifices fluidly connected to the fluid container, the dispensing member also including a proximate end and a distal end and a bendable neck disposed therebetween;    wherein as the air container is compressed by a user, the fluid container collapses to force the liquid out of the fluid container.    
   
   
       14 . The hair fluid applicator of  claim 13 , wherein the distal end includes a plurality of bendable bristles.  
   
   
       15 . The hair fluid applicator of  claim 13 , wherein the distal end includes a plurality of bristles, at least one of the bristles including an orifice that is fluidly connectable to the fluid container.  
   
   
       16 . The hair fluid applicator of  claim 13 , wherein the orifices are provided in one or more of the bristles.  
   
   
       17 . The hair fluid applicator of  claim 13 , wherein the fluid includes at least one of dye, colorant, shampoo, conditioner, and hair straightener.  
   
   
       18 . The hair fluid applicator of  claim 13 , wherein the one-way air valve includes one or more raised members that can support the fluid container above a slit in a duckbill valve of the one-way air valve.  
   
   
       19 . The hair fluid applicator of  claim 13 , wherein the one-way air valve includes a flange that forms a seal between the fluid container and the dispensing member.  
   
   
       20 . A method of applying a fluid to hair to be treated, comprising: 
 providing a hair fluid applicator including a dispensing member that includes a body having a proximate end and a distal end and a bendable neck disposed between the proximate end and the distal end, the dispensing member also including a plurality of bristles extending from the distal end;    adjusting the neck to a desired angle for applying fluid to the hair; and    applying fluid to the hair to be treated through the dispensing member.
