Abstract

Claims (59)

1 . A glue-applicating apparatus comprising

a housing, a fluidic member, and an application member;

wherein the housing contains the fluidic member and the application member;

wherein the glue-applicating apparatus is configured for use with a hair extension;

wherein the glue-applicating apparatus applies an adhesive to the hair extension;

wherein the application member forms a fluidic connection with the fluidic member;

wherein the fluidic connection transports the adhesive to the application member;

wherein the application member applies the adhesive to the hair extension;

wherein the fluidic member receives the adhesive in a liquid phase;

wherein the fluidic member stores the received liquid phase adhesive;

wherein the fluidic member discharges the stored liquid phase adhesive into the application member;

wherein the fluidic member is contained within a reservoir housing of the housing;

wherein the application member mounts in a u-shaped slot of the housing;

wherein the application member forms a fluidic connection with the liquid phase adhesive contained within a discharge structure of the reservoir housing;

wherein the application member draws the liquid phase adhesive into the application member from the reservoir housing;

wherein the application member applies the liquid phase adhesive to the hair extension as the hair extension is drawn over the application member.

2 . The glue-applicating apparatus according to claim 1

wherein the housing comprises the u-shaped slot, a pedestal, and the reservoir housing;

wherein the u-shaped slot is a negative space that is formed in the housing;

wherein the position of the u-shaped slot is between the pedestal and the reservoir housing.

3 . The glue-applicating apparatus according to claim 2

wherein the fluidic member comprises the liquid phase adhesive and an adhesive reservoir;

wherein the liquid phase adhesive is a chemical adhesive;

wherein the liquid phase adhesive is a removable adhesive;

wherein the liquid phase adhesive is applied to the hair extension in a liquid phase.

4 . The glue-applicating apparatus according to claim 3

wherein the application member comprises a roller structure and the fluidic connection;

wherein the hair extension rolls over the roller structure such that the roller structure applies a coating of the liquid phase adhesive directly onto the hair extension;

wherein the roller structure draws the liquid phase adhesive directly from the fluidic connection between the application member and the fluidic member;

wherein the fluidic connection fluidically connects the adhesive reservoir to the roller structure;

wherein the fluidic connection transports the liquid phase adhesive from the adhesive reservoir directly onto the roller structure.

5 . The glue-applicating apparatus according to claim 4

wherein the u-shaped slot is a disk shaped negative space;

wherein the u-shaped slot has a u-shape;

wherein the u-shaped slot is formed with three open lateral faces;

wherein the hair extension is exposed to the application member as it is drawn through the u-shaped slot.

6 . The glue-applicating apparatus according to claim 5

wherein the pedestal forms an inferior structure of the housing;

wherein the pedestal is a load bearing structure;

wherein the pedestal transfers the load of the glue-applicating apparatus to a supporting surface.

7 . The glue-applicating apparatus according to claim 6

wherein the reservoir housing is a hollow structure;

wherein the reservoir housing forms a superior structure of the housing;

wherein the reservoir housing forms a protected space that contains the fluidic member;

wherein the reservoir housing is a rigid structure.

8 . The glue-applicating apparatus according to claim 7

wherein the adhesive reservoir is a reservoir;

wherein the adhesive reservoir forms the containment structure that stores the liquid phase adhesive;

wherein the adhesive reservoir is mounted in the protected space formed by the reservoir housing;

wherein the fluidic member draws the liquid phase adhesive from the adhesive reservoir.

9 . The glue-applicating apparatus according to claim 8

wherein the adhesive reservoir comprises a lid structure and a discharge structure;

wherein the lid structure is a disk shaped structure;

wherein the lid structure encloses a superior face of the reservoir housing;

wherein the lid structure encloses a hollow interior of the reservoir housing;

wherein the lid structure provides access to the adhesive reservoir contained within the reservoir housing;

wherein the access provided by the lid structure to the adhesive reservoir allows for the refilling of the liquid phase adhesive contained within the adhesive reservoir;

wherein the discharge structure is a fluidic port;

wherein the discharge structure forms a port to which the fluidic connection of the application connects.
