DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment to be described below but may be implemented in various different embodiments of the hair brush. The embodiment is merely provided to completely disclose the present invention and completely inform those skilled in the art of the spirit of the present invention.

[0015] With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 3 thereof, a new oil dispensing hair brush embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral (10) will be described.

[0016] More specifically, referring to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, it will be noted that the oil dispensing hair brush comprises a handle portion (20) that is attached to brush head (15). Handle portion (20) that houses an elongated cavity that houses one or more oil chambers (80). Each oil chamber (80) can be a separate container as depicted in FIG. 4 or can be integrally formed within the elongated cavity as depicted in FIG. 3. As depicted in FIG. 3 each oil chamber extends the length of the cavity and has a separate oil cap (85) to secure the oil within the chamber. Handle (20) further comprises a front end (23) and a rear end (25) that is secured by removable cap member (28).

[0017] As depicted in FIG. 3 the front end of the handle has one or more corresponding valve mechanisms (74) that are operationally coupled (73) to each corresponding oil chamber (80). In the preferred embodiment each button (40) is connected to a separate valve thereby controlling the fluid flow into the oil pan located within the brush portion (15) of the present invention (10). When button (40) is activated the corresponding valve mechanism is mechanically opened and when button (40) is released the valve mechanism automatically closes thereby ceasing the fluid flow into the oil pan. The multiple button configuration allow the user of the brush to control the combination of mixing different oils in various amounts. In alternative embodiments the valve activation can be controlled electronically.

[0018] Brush portion (15) is attachable to the handle portion (20) and has a reservoir (21) in fluid communication with the elongated cavity 18 within the handle. Brush portion (15) is defined by a top wall disposed above a bottom wall that defines a compartment to support reservoir (21). The brush portion 20 further includes a plurality of spaced apart hollow bristle members 30 and apertures (45) thereon. As depicted each bristle member has a straight end aligned next to a small aperture which allows the oils to be massage into the scalp and extend upon the strands of the hair. The apertures (45) are small to provide a drip pan effect onto the scalp and the strands of hair as the user strokes the brush onto hair.

[0019] Brush portion (15) further comprises massage plate (65) located underneath the top wall of brush portion (15) above the reservoir. Button (41) is operationally connected to massage oscillating device (50) that causes the plate to move back/forth when pushed. Alternatively, the oscillating device (50) can be implemented electronically.

[0020] While the devices fulfill their respective, specific objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a hairbrush that can mix and dispense different oils.
