DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Referring now to FIGS. 1 through 3, there is shown and illustrated a conditioning comb 10 in accordance with present invention. The conditioning comb 10 consists of two sections: a head section 20 at the upper end and a holding section 30 at the bottom or distal end. More particularly, the components as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the conditioning comb 10 are : a comb head 22, bristles 18, a detachable housing or holding section 30, connecting point 24 between comb head 20 and the holding section 30, a tube 40 that brings liquid to the comb and a button or trigger pull 50.

[0015] Referring now to FIG. 3, in a preferred embodiment the head section 20 is provided with a plurality of holes 28 which are ¼ to ¾ inches in diameter. Further there may be a trigger pull or bush button 50 that brings the liquid filled inside the holding section 30 up through the tube 40 to reach the comb head 22 and distribute the liquid uniformly on the hair and scalp of the user. Furthermore the detachable holding section 30 may be attached to the head section 20 at the connecting point 24 by simple threading provided at the connecting point 24 and further which can be operated by simple squeezing or pumping the product into the bottle. In a preferred embodiment of the invention a the tube 40 may be a cartridge 40 and may be used such that the cartridge 40 has a port that it fits into and when the button or trigger 50 is pushed or pulled, it will transfer the liquid from the cartridge 40 of conditioner (not shown) to the comb head 22. Further the cartridge 40 will be easy to insert and take out using a screw or threaded mechanism 26 on top of the port of head section 20. In another preferred embodiment of the invention the comb head 22 is provided with a plurality of holes 28 which are ¼ inch in diameter and used for uniform dispersion of the conditioner liquid or gel on the hair and scalp of the user. The holes 28 are defined and located on the comb head 22 under the bristles 18 for effective dispersion of conditioning liquid while combing hair. In yet another preferred embodiment of the invention a spray bottle (not shown) is used to provide the liquid to the comb holes 28 using a pump or optionally a straw (not shown) operated by a button or trigger (not shown) to pull the hair care product up to reach the holes 28. In still yet another preferred embodiment of the invention the connecting point 24 may be a snap and lock type of locking arrangement between the head 20 and holding section 30.

[0016] The method of using the conditioning comb of the invention includes the following steps :

[0017] 1. Opening the threaded connecting point of the holding section attached to the comb in the system.

[0018] 2. Filling the holding section with desired liquid (i.e conditioner or gel).

[0019] 3. Closing the holding section using the threaded connecting point back onto the comb attachment.

[0020] 4. Pulling the trigger or pushing the button to distribute the liquid from the holding section.

[0021] 5. Combing the hair and distribute uniformly the gel or liquid on the hair and scalp.

[0022] In summary, the invention is directed to a conditioning comb that allows the user to distribute conditioner or other desired hair care liquid uniformly throughout their hair. The conditioning comb is made of parts including a wide tooth and hard plastic comb attachment. The comb further consists of a detachable housing or a holding section or a bottle that can be refilled with either a cartridge or other kind of liquids as desired by the user. Also the comb consists of a trigger pull or button to distribute the liquid from the bottle through holes in the wide tooth comb. Moreover, the conditioning comb allows the user to distribute conditioner or desired liquid throughout their hair and eliminate the struggle that people generally face with the correct usage of shampoo and conditioner and end up in piling the conditioner on top part of hair and not distributing it to the ends where it really needs to be. It should be understood that any other type of comb may also be incorporated with the holes to apply hair care liquids, including but not limited to conditioners, shampoos, hair oils, gels etc.

[0023] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
