Embodiment Construction

[0013]In all embodiments of the present invention, all percentages are by weight of the total composition, unless specifically stated otherwise. All ratios are weight ratios, unless specifically stated otherwise. All ranges are inclusive and combinable. The number of significant digits conveys neither a limitation on the indicated amounts nor on the accuracy of the measurements. All numerical amounts are understood to be modified by the word “about” unless otherwise specifically indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, all measurements are understood to be made at 25° C. and at ambient conditions, where “ambient conditions” means conditions under about one atmosphere of pressure and at about 50% relative humidity. All such weights as they pertain to listed ingredients are based on the active level and do not include carriers or by-products that may be included in commercially available materials, unless otherwise specified.

[0014]The term “comprising,” as used herein, means that other ...

Abstract

A method for delivering a composition to the scalp including (a) providing a composition in an applicator assembly, the applicator assembly including (i) a container for holding the composition; (ii) an extended tip actuator in fluid communication with the container, the extended tip actuator including (1) a base portion configured to fluidly connect the extended tip actuator to the container; and (2) a body portion configured to fluidly connect the base portion to a hollow tine; and (iii) an engine for delivering the composition from the container through the extended tip actuator; and (b) dispensing the composition from the applicator assembly directly onto the scalp. The tine includes a face located distally from the body portion. The tine includes an aperture in fluid communication with the container. The tine has a protrusion length of from about 0.5 mm to about 100 mm.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an applicator assembly and a method for applying a composition. More particularly, the invention relates to an applicator assembly having a container, an extended tip actuator with a hollow tine, and an engine for applying a composition, and methods thereof.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Various devices have been made for applying compositions to the scalp. Such devices have been used to apply compositions for the purposes of conditioning, cleansing, dying, and / or applying one or more benefit agents. However, the designs of currently marketed devices can lead to consumer confusion as to how to use the device, resulting in decreased efficacy and inefficient delivery of the composition.[0003]Based on the foregoing, there is a need for a unique delivery system which effectively communicates to the consumer how to use the product, improves the efficacy of the composition applied, and delivers optimal dosage of the compositio...
