Abstract:
A fluid dispensing brush facilitates performing personal grooming activities. To facilitate this, the fluid-dispensing brush has a handle, a removable brush, a cartridge, a fluid transfer channel. A cartridge-receiving receptacle is positioned within a first end of the handle so that the cartridge can be inserted into the handle. The outlet coupler is a fluid-transfer mechanism that enables the removable brush to be mounted onto a second end of the handle and be retained in fluid communication with the cartridge. The fluid-transfer channel passes through the removable brush and is in fluid communication with the outlet coupler. Thus, enabling fluid stored within the cartridge to be dispensed onto the brush while performing personal grooming. The dispenser mechanism is a mechanical actuator that generates the force required to dispense fluid out of the cartridge, through the fluid-transfer channel and onto a brushing surface of the removable brush.

Claim (Index 16):
fluid-dispensing brush comprising:\n a handle; a removable brush; a cartridge; at least one fluid-transfer channel; a dispenser mechanism; at least one dispenser tip; a user input device; a control system; the handle comprising a handle body, a cartridge-receiving receptacle, and an outlet coupler; the removable brush comprising a neck, a brush head, and a plurality of bristles; the cartridge-receiving receptacle traversing into a first end of the handle body; the outlet coupler being integrated into a second end of the handle body, opposite to the cartridge-receiving receptacle; the cartridge engaging into the cartridge-receiving receptacle; the cartridge being in fluid communication with the outlet coupler; the removable brush being detachably mounted onto the outlet coupler; the fluid-transfer channel traversing through the removable brush; the fluid-transfer channel being in fluid communication with the outlet coupler; the dispenser mechanism being integrated into the handle; the dispenser mechanism being operatively coupled to the cartridge, wherein the dispenser mechanism forces a fluid stored within the cartridge to travel through the outlet coupler and through the fluid-transfer channel; the brush head being terminally connected to the neck; the outlet coupler being removably mounted onto the neck, opposite to the brush head; the plurality of bristles being adjacently connected to a brushing surface of the brush head; the plurality of bristles being distributed across the brushing surface; the fluid-transfer channel traversing through the neck and the brush head; a first opening of the fluid-transfer channel being positioned opposite to the brush head, along the neck; a second opening of the fluid-transfer channel being centrally positioned on the brushing surface; the dispenser tip being mounted over the second opening of the fluid-transfer channel; the dispenser tip being in fluid communication with the cartridge through the fluid-transfer channel and the outlet coupler; the user input device being laterally mounted onto the handle; the control system being integrated into the handle; the control system being electronically connected to the user input device and the dispenser mechanism;
