[0001] This invention relates to a jet comb device apt to eject, uniformly and without waste,
any substance, be it a liquid (for example, an insecticide, or watery solutions, etc.),
a foam (for example, a shampoo or detergents, etc.), a powder (a talcum powder, etc.)
or a gaseous substance, and so an.
[0002] Presently different types of spray bottles and aerosol bombs are found on the market
which allow the spray of liquids, foams and powders, however with a great waste of
the substance and the consequent poor efficiency of the substance action on the surface
to be treated.
[0003] Moreover the comb or the device apt to spray the substance, must be seized by the
user separately, and this results rather uncomfortable.
[0004] Therefore the object of the present invention is to provide a jet comb device avoiding
useless wastes of the product along with the possible dangerous substance inhalations
from the man or from the animal to be treated with said substance.
[0005] An auxiliary object is to provide a jet comb device allowing the substance distribution
with a sufficient precision also on limited surfaces.
[0006] The object is attained by said jet device by foreseeing that the body itself, the
coupling element and at least some tooth elements must be internally hollow, so as
to form a passage for any substance to be uniformly distributed on the surfaces to
be treated, just when the comb device is used.
[0007] A particular solution foresees that said internally hollow tooth ends are ending
with an open section having a smaller area such as to form an orifice of efficient
jet.
[0008] A preferred solution foresees that at least some of said tooth elements are bent.
[0009] Moreover it can be foreseen that some ends of the tooth elements are provided with
a surface to convey the substance to be ejected.
[0010] A preferred solution of the invention will now be described with reference to the
annexed drawings wherein:
Fig. 1 is a general view of the device forming the object of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a particular view of the comb device;
Fig. 3 is a section view taken along line 3-3 of figure 2.
[0011] The jet comb device 10 comprises an internally hollow body 11 having, for instance,
a circular section. Anyhow a section whatever can be foreseen. Said body 11 ends with
a coupling element 9, which, for instance, is engageable with a small tube 8, this
latter is linked with a container 7 of the substance to be ejected, be it liquid,
gaseous or in powder.
[0012] From said body 11, internally hollow tooth elements 12 are diverging, which end with
an aperture 13. They may be of any length and be arranged more or less thickly. The
cavity section of said tooth elements may have a shape whatever. Some of said elements
may also result without an internal cavity but this solution is not shown in the figures.
[0013] The ends 12a of each tooth element 12 may be slightly tapered, namely, they may have
an orifice with a smaller section area (see figure 3).
[0014] In this way the jet orifice results very efficient. Likewise, surfaces can be foreseen
to convey the substance to be ejected through the ends 12a. Said surfaces are not
represented in the figures.
[0015] The practical device can be made of any material. Also the tooth elements and the
body itself may be of any kind of material.
[0016] Said comb device applied to the container 7 of the substance to be ejected is laid
and moved in different directions on the surface to be treated, while, at the same
time, the substance to be ejected is conveyed towards the coupling element 9, then
it is spread inside the body 11 and is ejected from the orifices of the ends 12a of
tooth elements 12.
[0017] Therefore it is uniformly spread and it results especially well distributed if the
surface to be treated is a hairy or shaggy surface.
[0018] For instance, said device can be used advantegously for a hygienical treatment of
animals (like dogs, cats, etc.) and of people as well as for cleaning carpets, moquettes,
etc. Said practical j et device can be also easily applied to any kind of spray bottles
and ejectors.
1. A jet comb device to spread any kind of substances in a uniform and without waste
way, said device consisting of: a body (11), a coupling element (9) with a container
(7), and tooth elements (12) these latter being arranged more or less thickly and
