The present invention relates generally to the field of hairbrushes. More specifically, the present invention relates to a liquid dispensing hairbrush device that allows a user to apply hair care product while simultaneously brushing their hair. The device is comprised of a body, further comprised of an interior container and at least one interchangeable brush head, further comprised of at least one nub with at least one continuous opening. Further, the body and the brush head are in liquid communication through at least one continuous opening and are attached together via fasteners. The nubs are further comprised of at least one continuous opening that allow a liquid to flow through the openings and onto the user's hair while they brush their hair. Accordingly, the present disclosure makes specific reference thereto. Nonetheless, it is to be appreciated that aspects of the present invention are also equally applicable to other like applications, devices and methods of manufacture.
By way of background, individuals that have naturally curly hair often have difficulty maintaining and treating said hair. As a result, individuals must often apply essential oils and other hair products by hand and then brush their hair afterwards, which requires constant hand cleaning. This is very time consuming and can take up a large portion of an individual's time, which can negatively affect their daily routine.
Therefore, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a hairbrush that eliminates the need for people to apply hair care products by hand. Further, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a liquid dispensing hairbrush device that can simultaneously apply essential oils and hair products as the user brushes their hair. Further, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a liquid dispensing hairbrush device that allows a user to remove and apply different brush heads based of the need of the user, while still applying product through using the brush.
The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises a liquid dispensing hairbrush device. The device is primarily comprised of a body, further comprised of an interior container and at least one interchangeable brush head, further comprised of at least one nub with at least one continuous opening. In the preferred embodiment, the body of the device can be attached and detached from the brush head. The brush head and the body are in fluid communication, such that a user may place liquid hair care products in the interior container which then flows through the brush head and out of the nubs on the brush head. The fluid flows through the nubs onto the user's hair allowing for simultaneous application of liquid hair product and the brushing of hair.
In this manner, the liquid dispensing hairbrush device of the present invention accomplishes all of the foregoing objectives and provides a user with a convenient way to apply hair care products simultaneously while brushing their hair. The liquid dispensing hair care device further allows a user to save time and effort by providing a brush that dispenses the hair care directly to the hair while brushing through a series of openings.
The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed innovation. This summary is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof. Its sole purpose is to present some general concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises a liquid dispensing hairbrush device. The device is primarily comprised of a body, further comprised of an interior container and at least one interchangeable brush head, further comprised of at least one nub with at least one continuous opening. The body and brush head are in fluid communication with each other, thereby allowing a liquid hair product to flow through the body into the brush head. Further, the brush head and the nubs are in fluid communication allowing the liquid hair product to flow through the nubs and out at least one opening at the bottom of the nubs. This allows the user to easily apply the liquid hair product directly to the hair while brushing.
Accordingly, the liquid dispensing hairbrush device of the present invention is particularly advantageous as it allows the user to effortlessly apply hair care products to the hair while simultaneously brushing. This allows the user to spend less time on their daily hair care routine, and more time elsewhere. In this manner, the liquid dispensing hairbrush device overcomes the limitations of existing hairbrushes known in the art.

The innovation is now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding thereof. It may be evident, however, that the innovation can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate a description thereof. Various embodiments are discussed hereinafter. It should be noted that the figures are described only to facilitate the description of the embodiments. They are not intended as an exhaustive description of the invention and do not limit the scope of the invention. Additionally, an illustrated embodiment need not have all the aspects or advantages shown. Thus, in other embodiments, any of the features described herein from different embodiments may be combined.
As noted above, there is a long-felt need in the art for a hairbrush that eliminates the need for people to apply hair care products by hand. Further, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a hairbrush that can simultaneously apply essential oils and liquid hair products as the user brushes their hair. Further, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a hairbrush that allows a user to remove and apply different brush heads based of the need of the user, while still applying product through using the brush.
The present invention, in one exemplary embodiment, is comprised of a liquid dispensing hairbrush device primarily composed of a body, further comprised of an interior container and at least one interchangeable brush head, further comprised of at least one nub with at least one continuous opening. Further, the brush head and the body are attached via fasteners on both the brush head and the body. The brush head and the body are also in fluid communication via at least one continuous opening. The continuous openings on both the body and brush head are aligned in order to allow the liquid to flow through the body to the nubs of the brush head.
Further, the nubs are in fluid communication with the brush head through at least one continuous opening on the bottom of the nubs. This allows the liquid to flow through the device and onto the user's hair while simultaneously brushing the hair. As a result, a user saves ample amounts of time by not having to separately apply hair product and engage in brushing.
