Patent ID: 7568486

Claim:
A device for precise dyeing of individual hairs and for dyeing selected tufts, comprising: a body, where, the body is roughly cylindrical in shape and defines a cavity, in which there exists a dye container, and where the body comprises a rear body end with means of applying pressure to the dye container inside of the body and an extruding end, where, the extruding end is comprised of a flat, circular plate with one or more openings and one or more annular seals surrounding the one or more openings, one or more partitions for dye components, located inside the dye container, where, the dye partitions have an end portion such that the unused dye components in the dye container are retained in the dye container in unused form and are not exposed to air prior to their extrusion, a cylindrical body which defines a cavity into which dye can be loaded, and an open top, where the dye components are comprised of substances that are not activated until they come into contact with air, a means for extruding a quantity of dye, where, the dye is passed onto the hair and, where the dye is a combination of dye material and developer, a means for applying the dye onto the hair where the means to apply the dye to hair is precise enough to allow the selective dyeing of individual hairs or tufts of hair, and an elastic protecting ring device, which is comprised of an annular stand which sits rotably above a right half ring and a left half ring, where the annular stand and the right half ring and the left half ring are rotably attached to one another by a connecting axel and a reverse spring which allows the left half ring and the right half ring to rotate under the annular stand such that a tuft of hair can be selected and partitioned off from the remaining hair, and a latex hose which is attached to the annular stand by means of an elastic band, and where, as the tuft of hair is passed through the elastic protecting ring device, the latex hose can be uncoiled such that the tuft of hair is prophylactically isolated from other hair such that any dye on the tuft of hair will not spill or seep onto other hair.
