The scalp applicator 100 (hereinafter invention) is configured for use with a liquid phase cosmetic media 103. The invention 100 is a tool that applies the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 to the head of a patient. The invention 100 comprises a manifold 101 and a bellows 102. The manifold 101 is the working element of the tool formed by the invention 100. The manifold 101 discharges the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 onto the hair and scalp of the patient. The bellows 102 forms the handle of the invention 100. The bellows 102 contains the liquid phase cosmetic media 103. The bellows 102 is a compressible structure. The compression of the bellows 102 generates the motive forces necessary to force the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 through the manifold 101 for discharge.

The liquid phase cosmetic media 103 is a cosmetic media. The terms liquid, phase, and cosmetic media are defined elsewhere in this disclosure.

The manifold 101 forms the working element of the tool formed by the invention 100. The manifold 101 receives the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 under pressure from the bellows 102. The manifold 101 discharges the received liquid phase cosmetic media 103 from the invention 100. The manifold 101 comprises a plurality of teeth 111 and a manifold 101 pan 112.

The plurality of teeth 111 forms the fluid distribution network of the invention 100. The plurality of teeth 111 receives the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 under pressure from the manifold 101 pan 112 and transports the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 for discharge. The plurality of teeth 111 comprises a collection of individual teeth 131.

Each individual tooth 131 selected from the plurality of teeth 111 is a prism-shaped structure. Each selected individual tooth 131 is a hollow structure. Each selected individual tooth 131 forms a tubular structure that transports the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 from the manifold 101 pan 112 to the discharge point. Each selected individual tooth 131 is formed as a non-Euclidean prism structure 132. Each individual tooth 131 comprises a non-Euclidean prism structure 132 and a transport channel 133.

The non-Euclidean prism structure 132 forms the tubular structure of each individual tooth 131. The non-Euclidean prism structure 132 is formed with two open congruent ends. The non-Euclidean prism structure 132 inserts into the hair of the patient in the manner of a comb such that the hair fits into the diastema of the plurality of teeth 111. The non-Euclidean prism structure 132 discharges the received liquid phase cosmetic media 103 into the hair and on the scalp of the patient. A congruent end of the non-Euclidean prism structure 132 of the individual tooth 131 attaches to the bellows 102 closed face 122. The non-Euclidean prism structure 132 attaches to the bellows 102 closed face 122 such that the non-Euclidean prism structure 132 forms a fluidic connection between the pan structure of the bellows 102 and the transport channel 133 of the individual tooth 131.

The transport channel 133 is the hollow interior formed within the non-Euclidean prism structure 132. The transport channel 133 transports the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 through the non-Euclidean prism structure 132 to the open congruent end of the non-Euclidean prism structure 132 that is distal from the manifold 101 pan 112. The transport channel 133 discharges the transported liquid phase cosmetic media 103 into the hair and on the scalp of the patient.

The manifold 101 pan 112 is a prism-shaped structure. The manifold 101 pan 112 has a pan shape. The manifold 101 pan 112 is a hollow structure. The manifold 101 pan 112 is a lid that encloses the bellows 102 open face 121 of the manifold 101 lateral face 143. The manifold 101 pan 112 receives the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 under pressure from the bellows 102 and transports the received liquid phase cosmetic media 103 into the plurality of teeth 111. The manifold 101 pan 112 comprises a manifold 101 open face 141, a manifold 101 closed face 142, and a manifold 101 lateral face 143.

The manifold 101 open face 141 is the open face of the pan structure of the manifold 101. The manifold 101 open face 141 is a congruent end of the prism structure of the manifold 101. The manifold 101 closed face 142 is the closed face of the pan structure of the manifold 101. The manifold 101 closed face 142 is a congruent end of the prism structure of the manifold 101. The manifold 101 closed face 142 is the face of the manifold 101 that is distal from the manifold 101 open face 141.

The manifold 101 lateral face 143 is the lateral face of the pan structure of the manifold 101. The manifold 101 lateral face 143 forms the boundary surfaces of the pan structure of the manifold 101 between the manifold 101 open face 141 and the manifold 101 closed face 142. The manifold 101 lateral face 143 comprises an interior screw thread 161. The interior screw thread 161 is a screw thread that is formed on the interior surface of the manifold 101 lateral face 143 at a position proximal to the manifold 101 open face 141.

The bellows 102 is a mechanical structure. The bellows 102 is a flexible structure. The bellows 102 is a prism-shaped structure. The bellows 102 has a pan shape. The bellows 102 forms the containment structure that stores the liquid phase cosmetic media 103.

The bellows 102 is a collapsible structure. By collapsible structure is meant that the span of the length of the center axis of the pan structure of the bellows 102 is adjustable. The bellows 102 collapses when a force is applied to the bellows 102 in a direction parallel to the center axis of the pan structure of the bellows 102. The collapse of the bellows 102 reduces the containment volume formed by the pan structure of the bellows 102. The reduction of the volume of the bellows 102 increases the pressure on the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 contained within the bellows 102. This increase in pressure on the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 caused by the compression of the bellows 102 generates the motive forces that drives the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 through the manifold 101.

The bellows 102 comprises a bellows 102 open face 121, a bellows 102 closed face 122, and a bellows 102 lateral face 123.

The bellows 102 closed face 122 is the face of the bellows 102 that is distal from the bellows 102 open face 121.

The bellows 102 lateral face 123 is the lateral face of the pan structure of the bellows 102. The bellows 102 lateral face 123 forms the boundary surfaces of the pan structure of the bellows 102 between the bellows 102 open face 121 and the bellows 102 closed face 122. The bellows 102 lateral face 123 forms the flexible structure of the bellows 102 that allows the bellows 102 lateral face 123 to collapse. By collapsing the bellows 102, the bellows 102 lateral face 123 reduces the volume within the bellows 102 which increases the pressure on the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 within the bellows 102. The reduced volume of the bellows 102 increases the pressure on the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 within the bellows 102 such that the liquid phase cosmetic media 103 is pumped into the manifold 101 pan 112.

The bellows 102 lateral face 123 further comprises a bellows 102 accordion fold 151 and an exterior screw thread 152. The bellows 102 accordion fold 151 is a mechanical structure used to collapse and expand the volume of the bellows 102. The bellows 102 accordion fold 151 reduces the volume of the bellows 102 lateral face 123 by collapsing bellows 102 in a direction parallel to the center axis of the pan structure of the bellows 102. The exterior screw thread 152 is a screw thread that is formed on the exterior surface of the bellows 102 lateral face 123 at a position proximal to the bellows 102 open face 121. The exterior screw thread 152 secures the bellows 102 to the manifold 101 by screwing into the interior screw thread 161 to form a threaded connection.
