Abstract:
1. A curry shampoo comb for dispensing a fluid from an attachable fluid source comprising: a handle section having a centrally located axis, said handle section attached to a fluid inlet coupling for connecting to an external fluid source; a reservoir section coupled to said handle section and sharing said centrally located axis with said handle section; a distribution head section attached to said reservoir section having a distribution chamber and a distribution plate; said distribution chamber disposed within said distribution head section for distributing fluid across said distribution plate; at least one hole in said distribution plate for dispensing said fluid from said comb; a fluid conduit with a first end and a second end and sharing said centrally located axis with said handle section and said reservoir section; said first end of said fluid conduit connected to said fluid inlet coupling; said second end of said fluid conduit connected to said distribution chamber; said fluid conduit intersecting said handle section and said reservoir section; said reservoir section surrounding a portion of said fluid conduit; a reservoir chamber adjacent to said fluid conduit and disposed within said reservoir section for receiving an additive; at least one window in said fluid conduit, located adjacent to said reservoir chamber in said reservoir section; at least one opening in said reservoir chamber adjacent to said fluid conduit; said window in said fluid conduit aligned with said opening in said reservoir chamber providing a connection therebetween such that said additive in said reservoir chamber is transferred into said fluid conduit by diffusion and some of a fluid from said fluid conduit is transferred into said reservoir chamber thereby displacing some of said additive; and a shutter intermediate to said fluid conduit and said reservoir section and sharing said centrally located axis with said handle section, said fluid conduit and said reservoir section; said shutter rotatable about said shared axis and capable of selectively covering said window precluding the diffusion of additive from said reservoir chamber into said fluid conduit, said shutter having therein at least one window said window in said shutter alignable with said window in said fluid conduit and said opening in said reservoir chamber; at least one mesh diffusion filter having a plurality of apertures for metering said additive into said fluid conduit, said diffusion filter attached to said shutter covering each of said windows of said shutter, said plurality of apertures of a size particular to the type of said additive; said diffusion filter intermediate to said reservoir chamber and said fluid conduit when said opening, said fluid conduit window and said shutter window are aligned and thus controlling the rate of diffusion of fluid between said reservoir chamber and said fluid conduit.
