Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hair oil applicator.
  • the invention more particularly relates to a container fitted with a closure comprising an applicator that ensures highly uniform application of the oil on to the hair and especially the scalp while eliminating leakage from the screwed on closure threads that is often observed with conventional bottle closures.
  • Oiling of hair is a habit in many countries especially in South Asia.
  • the application of hair oil of vegetable origin like coconut oil is believed to keep the head cool, especially in the hot and humid tropical countries.
  • hair oil is blended with herbal actives that are believed to nourish the hair and provide desired attributes like low breakage, less split ends, shine, low hair fall etc.
  • vegetable oils are blended with synthetic oils like paraffin oils, silicones etc to provide a more light feel, less stickiness and improved conditioning.
  • JP2004321708 A discloses a comb to apply a liquid to the hair.
  • US5152305 A discloses a dye applicator which includes a hollow tubular housing with screw-threaded caps on both longitudinal ends thereof.
  • One of the caps includes a centrally located outlet through which a hollow stem of an integrally formed nozzle unit is fitted.
  • a manually actuable piston is provided within the tubular housing and includes an actuator member longitudinally slidable along the length of and external to the tubular housing.
  • a protruding track is longitudinally provided on the inner wall of the tubular housing and mates with a corresponding recess of the piston.
  • a liner such as a disposable plastic bag is provided within the tubular housing above the piston for receiving a hair dispensable product therein.
  • the screw-threaded end caps confine the contents of the applicator during use thereof.
  • JP 2004 321708 discloses cap with a comb.
  • the document discloses that the comb body can be rotated to a desired inclined posture angle, it is possible to sufficiently and efficiently apply the content liquid to the hair corresponding to the application position and to smoothly and efficiently apply the contents.
  • the present inventors have been trying to solve the problems associated with hair oil containers.
  • the present invention relates to a hair oil applicator comprising:
  • the present invention relates to a closure cum dispenser (6) screwable to a container (1) of a hair oil applicator, said dispenser (6) comprising a cylindrical cap (7) which comprises:
  • the hair oil applicator is shown in the perspective view with the closure cum dispenser (6) in the closed position on the container (1).
  • the container (1) comprises a base (2), upwardly extending walls (3) leading up to a shoulder portion (14).
  • closure cum dispenser (6) which comprises the cylindrical cap (7) on which is placed a horizontally placed distributor tube (9) on top of which are upwardly extending nozzles (10).
  • the hair oil applicator is shown with 10 nozzles.
  • the closure cum dispenser is shown unscrewed and distant from the container.
  • the upper end of the container contains the threaded portion (4).
  • the top surface of the container comprises a flat resilient member (5).
  • the flat resilient member comprises an upwardly extending breakable tab (11).
  • the cylindrical cap (7) portion of the closure cum dispenser comprises counter threads (8) on the inner side.
  • the cylindrical cap comprises two stoppers on the inner side thereof.
  • the inner cylindrical stopper (12) presses against the resilient member (5) when the closure cum dispenser is screwed on to the threaded portion of the container.
  • the outer cylindrical stopper (13) is biased against the perimeter of the upper end of the container.
  • FIG 4 a cut out view of the actual model of the closure cum dispenser is shown.
  • the cylindrical cap is screwed tightly on to the threaded portion (4) of the container with the counter threads (8).
  • the inner cylindrical stopper (12) is shown pressed against the resilient member (5) while the outer cylindrical stopper (13) is biased against the perimeter of the upper end of the container.
  • the breakable tab (11) and the nozzles (10) are also shown in Fig 4 .
  • the closure cum dispenser (6) is unscrewed from the container (1).
  • the breakable tab (11) is then broken and thrown away. This ensures that the port created (not shown in the figures) on the resilient member (5) is of a uniform size.
  • the uniform size of a port that is created as a result of breaking of the tab ensures that the flow of oil through the port and thereafter out from the nozzles is uniform. This is a significant improvement over prior dispensers where the resilient member had to be manually torn with a knife or a thick pin to create the port.
  • the port thus created was of uneven size and shape thus creating uneven flow of the oil out of the port and into the nozzles.
  • the closure cum dispenser (6) is then tightly screwed back on to the threaded portion (4) on the container (1).
  • the inner cylindrical stopper (12) is pressed on to the resilient member and the outer cylindrical stopper (13) is biased against the perimeter of the top surface.
  • the hair oil applicator is inverted with the nozzles (10) placed on the scalp of the person wishing to apply the oil.
  • the container (1) is then squeezed creating a positive pressure on the oil which flows through the port created when the breakable tab was broken, out through the distributor tube(6), into each of the nozzles (10) and on to the desired area of the scalp.
  • the oil thus applied may then be rubbed on to the scalp and the hair using the nozzles themselves or using the hands or with the use of a comb.
  • the hair oil applicator may then be placed back on its base (2) at a desired place during which time the residual oil from the nozzles flow back through the distributor tube, through the port and back into the container.
  • the inner cylindrical stopper (12) and the outer cylindrical stopper (13) respectively biased against the resilient member and the perimeter of the upper end of the top surface, ensure no space for the oil to leak out of the threads, thereby ensuring leak tightness.
  • the invention relates to a hair oil applicator for dispensing hair oil from a container using the applicator of the invention.
  • the container is preferably square, rectangular, hexagonal or cylindrical shape, preferably it is cylindrical.
  • the container may be of a suitable volume ranging from 10 ml to 2000 ml, preferably from 50 ml to 200 ml.
  • the container is preferably made of a polymeric material which is amenable to be squeezed by hand. Suitable polymeric materials are high density polyethylene (HDPE), poly propylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), multilayer of low -density polyethylene (LDPE) and HDPE.
  • the most preferred material of construction of the container is HDPE.
  • the flat resilient member on the top surface of the container is preferably disc shaped.
  • Suitable material of construction of the flat resilient member are linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), LDPE, elastomer, polyurethane, or HDPE.
  • LLDPE linear low-density polyethylene
  • LDPE linear low-density polyethylene
  • elastomer polyurethane
  • HDPE high-density polyethylene
  • the most preferred material from which the resilient member is made is LLDPE.
  • the flat resilient member when in the shape of a disc has a diameter preferably in the range of 1 cm to 5 cm, more preferably in the range of 1.5 cm to 2 cm.
  • the breakable tab on the resilient member is preferably cylindrical. Suitable material of construction of the breakable tab are LLDPE, LDPE, elastomer, polyurethane, or HDPE, most preferably LLDPE.
  • the outer surface of the breakable tab is preferably knurled to ensure ease of gripping when it is to be broken. It is preferred for the ease of manufacture that the resilient member and the breakable tab are made of the same material of construction and ideally, they are made from a single mould.
  • the closure cum dispenser is preferably made of PP, HDPE, LDPE, more preferably PP.
  • the hair oil may be dispensed through any number of nozzles preferably from 5 to 15 nozzles, furthermore preferably from 8 to 12 nozzles.
