A dispensing device () is detachably mountable atop a plurality of valved containers () containing constituents under pressure which are dispensed upon actuation of the container valves (). The dispensing device () comprises a mixing chamber () for mixing together the constituents dispensed form the containers () to form a mixed product and for outputting the mixed product through plural outlet ports (), an applicator () having a plurality of tines () at least some of which are hollow, the hollow tines () being in fluid communication with respective outlet ports () of the mixing chamber () for dispensing from distal ends thereof the mixed product, and an actuator () for simultaneously actuating the container valves (). The mixing chamber () has an inlet port () for admitting the constituents dispensed from the containers () into the mixing chamber (), and an elongated tortuous flow path () having one end communicating with the inlet port () and another end communicating with the plural outlet ports ().

A dispensing device is detachably mountable atop a plurality of valved containers containing constituents under pressure which are dispensed upon actuation of the container valves. The dispensing device comprises a mixing chamber for mixing together the constituents dispensed from the containers to form a mixed product and for outputting the mixed product through plural outlet ports, an applicator having a plurality of tines at least some of which are hollow, the hollow tines being in fluid communication with respective outlet ports of the mixing chamber for dispensing from distal ends thereof the mixed product, and an actuator for simultaneously actuating the container valves. The mixing chamber has an inlet port for admitting the constituents dispensed from the containers into the mixing chamber, and an elongated tortuous flow path having one end communicating with the inlet port and another end communicating with the plural outlet ports. The tortuous flow path has a sinuous or spiral shape effective to thoroughly intermix the constituents during flow thereof from the inlet port through the tortuous flow path to the outlet ports.

A retractable brush for brushing, cleaning and curling hair comprises an outer tubular member having a pattern of bristle apertures, and an inner tubular member extending lengthwise within the outer tubular member and being mounted to undergo angular displacement in opposite directions within the outer tubular member. A plurality of bristle supports each extend lengthwise within the outer tubular member and support a series of bristles. The bristle supports have opposite end portions turnably mounted on flanges on the inner tubular member to undergo angular displacement in forward and reverse directions to effect extension and retraction of the bristles through the bristle apertures of the outer tubular member in response to angular displacement of the inner tubular member. A handle is connected to the outer tubular member for grasping by a hand of a user of the brush, and an actuator is manually turnably mounted on the handle and connected to the inner tubular member to enable the user to angularly displace the inner tubular member in opposite directions to extend and retract the bristles in response to manual turning of the actuator.
