Gel dispensing brush
First Claim
1. A hair brush comprising:
- a handle,a head,a plurality of hollow bristles extending from one side of said head,a gel reservoir located in said head,a dispensing plate slidably mounted between said gel reservoir and said hollow bristles, said dispensing plate including a plurality of apertures for allowing gel from said gel reservoir to pass into said hollow bristles when said apertures are aligned with said hollow bristles,a slide switch located on one side of said handle and on a same side of the brush as the bristles, said slide switch moving said dispensing plate,a compression device for forcing gel from said gel reservoir into said hollow bristles through said dispensing plate, anda thumb wheel operable independently of said dispensing plate and located on said one side of said handle adjacent to said slide switch for actuating said compression device.

Abstract
A gel dispensing hair brush having a plurality of hollow bristles tapering from a head of the brush to a free end at a tip of the bristle for dispensing a gel from within a storage reservoir of the brush. The bellows or storage device from which the gel is dispensed is maintained between four guide ramps located surrounding the bellows. Each opposed set of guide ramps intersects at an obtuse angle so as to guide the sides of the bellows upwardly as the bellows is compressed by a compression plate. Compression of the bellows is achieved by rotation of a thumb wheel extending through the handle of the brush. The recesses and projections of the thumb wheel interengage with complementary shaped recesses and projections found on a toothed side of an indexing bar. On an opposite side of the indexing bar, opposite to the thumb wheel, is a smooth guide roller for maintaining an accurate movement of the indexing bar between the thumb wheel and guide roller. A dispensing plate is movable under the head of the brush. The dispensing plate includes holes approximately 2 mm in diameter, equal to approximately 2/3 of the diameter of the open base of the dispensing bristles. The diameter of the open base of the dispensing bristles is 3 to 4 mm, and preferably 3 mm.

11. A hair brush for dispensing hair gel, said hair brush comprising:
-
a hollow body including a handle and a head, a plurality of hollow bristles inter-dispersed between a plurality of rigid bristles projecting from an upper surface of said head, a gel reservoir located in said head, a dispensing plate slidably mounted between said gel reservoir and said hollow bristles, said dispensing plate including a plurality of apertures for allowing gel from said gel reservoir to pass into said hollow bristles when said apertures are aligned with said hollow bristles, a compression device for forcing gel from said gel reservoir into said hollow bristles through said dispensing plate, said compression device including a compression plate secured to said gel reservoir at one end of an indexing bar and an opposite end of said indexing bar extending to said handle and engaging a thumb wheel rotatably mounted in said handle, said thumb wheel and said opposite end of said indexing bar including complementary shaped projections and recesses for moving said indexing bar by rotation of said thumb wheel, and a slide switch located in said handle for movement of said dispensing plate so as to align said apertures of said dispensing plate with openings located at a base of said hollow bristles and allowing gel to be dispensed from said gel reservoir into said base opening,of said hollow bristles and eventually to be forced from a free tip end of said hollow bristles. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
