BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for applying a foaming agent for hair, and more particularly, to a foaming agent for hair for foaming a hair styling agent or a hair dye and applying it to hair. Regarding application tools.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art To apply a hair coating composition, such as a hair styling agent or a hair dye, to a hair, the coating composition is applied to the hair in a foam form by utilizing the pressure of a high pressure gas such as LPG gas from a container. A so-called foam aerosol type application tool is used.

This application tool generally comprises a container for containing the coating material and a brush main body which is detachably engaged with the container. When the brush main body is screwed into the container during use, the brush main body When a button provided on the base is pressed, a foam-like coating material is discharged from between the comb teeth planted in the brush body, and the coating material is applied to the hair while combing the hair.

[0004]

However, since the conventional application tools of this kind do not have sufficient foam retention force on the comb teeth, when applied to particularly long hair, the application tools start from the root of the hair. It was not possible to retain a sufficient amount of bubbles to apply the hair tips all at once, and the application operation was complicated.

Further, since the comb-holding force of the foam is insufficient, the foam easily drops from the brush during the application of the coating agent, which often adheres to clothes or the body. When the coating material is a hair dye, the clothing or the body is colored due to the fall of the foam, so that the use of such a coating tool requires extreme caution.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a foam aerosol type application tool having comb teeth having a large holding force for a foam coating material.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems The above-mentioned problems are solved by a connecting portion which is detachably engaged with a container for containing a hair coating material, and a hair coating material which extends from the connecting portion and is sprayed from the container inside. And a plurality of outer comb teeth standing on the outer peripheral portion of one surface of the comb tooth support portion. And a plurality of inner comb teeth erected on the support portion inside the outer comb teeth so as to be surrounded by the plurality of outer comb teeth, the inner comb teeth being shorter than the outer comb teeth, The problem can be solved by a foam applying tool for hair, which has a discharge nozzle for discharging the foam coating for hair, which is connected to the communication hole on the inner comb teeth and is provided near the base.

The length of the inner comb teeth is preferably about one half of the length of the outer comb teeth.

Further, it is preferable that the inner comb teeth are arranged in rows at equal intervals.

Further, it is preferable that the discharge nozzles for discharging the foam coating material are provided on both sides along the direction in which the inner comb teeth are arranged.

The connecting portion is preferably provided with an actuating mechanism for actuating the discharging mechanism of the container containing the hair coating composition.

[0012]

According to the above-mentioned foam-type coating material application tool for hair of the present invention, when the button provided at the connecting portion of the application tool is pressed, the valve provided in the container opens, and the coating inside the container is opened. The agent is mixed with air, and the hair coating material forms a foam through the communication hole and is ejected from an ejection nozzle provided near the base of the inner comb teeth.

Since the discharge nozzle is located in the space surrounded by the outer comb teeth, the discharged bubbles first adhere to the inner comb teeth and then fill the space between the inner comb teeth and then the inner comb teeth. Fill the space between the comb teeth and the outer comb teeth.

As described above, according to the hair foam coating material application tool of the present invention, the hair foam coating material adheres to the inner space of the outer comb teeth from the root of the comb teeth to the teeth of the comb teeth. Since it is evenly held over the tip, it has extremely good foam retention.

Therefore, the hair foam coating material application tool of the present invention is free from the risk of bubbles falling during use of the application tool, and is continuous from the root to the tip of the hair when applied to long hair. Since it is possible to hold a sufficient amount of bubbles that can be applied, it is possible to perform an application operation easily.
