Abstract
A device for applying a liquid to the hair of an individual, the device comprising a comb member and a container, wherein: the comb member has an elongate tubular main body with opposed axial ends and a longitudinal axis extending between the ends, the main body encloses a longitudinal passage which extends along the longitudinal axis, is open at one of the axial ends and is closed at the other one of the axial ends, and the longitudinal passage includes means at the one axial end for receiving the container, and a plurality of elongate teeth carried by the tubular main body and extending parallel to one another from the main body in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis, each of the teeth having a base connected to the main body, a tip remote from the base, and a linear passage extending in a straight line from the base to the tip, the linear passage being open at the base to communicate with the longitudinal passage in the main body and being open at the tip, each of the teeth having a frustoconic form which tapers from the base to the tip and the linear passage in each of the teeth having a frustoconic form which is at least approximately congruent with that of the associated one of the teeth, and the container: has an open end insertable into the means for receiving the container; is filled with a mass of liquid to be applied to the hair; and is made entirely of a flexible material which allows any portion of the container to be squeezed in order to force the liquid through the longitudinal passage and the linear passages and out of the linear passages at the tips of the teeth.
