A hair treating device for applying solution to hair includes a hollow member with dispensing ports, an inflatable bladder and a handle. The inflatable bladder is positioned in a manifold with the solution to be dispensed. The handle is sealed from the solution and has a pump. Operating the pump expands the bladder and ejects the solution through the dispensing ports.

What is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent of the United States is: 1. An applicator for applying a solution to hair comprising: A) a hollow member forming a manifold with a plurality of dispensing ports for dispensing the solution and a fill port for receiving solution, B) an inflatable bladder positioned in said manifold and having a seal for closing said fill port, and C) a handle for connection to said hollow member and said inflatable bladder proximate said fill port, said handle including a pump for expanding said bladder thereby to dispense the solution from said manifold through said dispensing ports onto hair. 2. An applicator as recited in claim 1 wherein said inflatable bladder includes: i) a support body, ii) a conduit with first and second ends carried intermediate said ends by said support body, said first end being adapted for connection to said pump as an inlet to said conduit and said conduit having at least one aperture therethrough intermediate said support body and said second end, and iii) a balloon having an expansible body extending over said conduit from the second end to a position adjacent said support body and a neck attached to said conduit proximate said support body. 3. An applicator as recited in claim 2 wherein said seal at said fill port includes a first annular seal for placement between said support body and said hollow member, and a second annular seal intermediate said balloon neck and said hollow member. 4. An applicator as recited in claim 2 wherein said pump comprises: i) a squeeze bulb having inlet and outlet ports, ii) a one way inlet valve connected to said inlet port, and iii) a one-way outlet valve connected to said output port whereby squeezing of said squeeze bulb inflates said balloon and dispenses solution from said dispenser ports. 5. An applicator as recited in claim 4 including another seal at said inlet end of said conduit. 6. An applicator as recited in claim 5 including a manually operated pressure relief valve intermediate said outlet valve and said inlet end of said conduit. 7. An applicator as recited in claim 2 wherein said pump comprises: i) a squeeze bulb having inlet and outlet ports, ii) a one-way inlet valve connected to said inlet port, and iii) a one-way outlet valve connected to said output port whereby squeezing of said squeeze bulb inflates said balloon and dispenses hair dye from said dispenser ports. 8. An applicator as recited in claim 7 including a manually operated pressure relief valve intermediate said outlet valve and said inlet end of said conduit. 9. An applicator as recited in claim 7 wherein said handle includes a housing forming an internal cavity for storing solution and including a closed end and an open neck end, said open neck end receiving said inflatable bladder and said handle. 10. An applicator as recited in claim 9 wherein said handle and said hollow member having complementary releasable locking elements. 11. An applicator as recited in claim 2 wherein said hollow member includes a housing that defines an internal cavity and a plurality of comb teeth longitudinally extending therefrom, each of said comb teeth having a longitudinal passage therethrough extending from said cavity. 12. An applicator as recited in claim 11 including a cover for said comb teeth. 13. A hair dye applicator for applying hair dye to selected portions of a person's hair, said applicator comprising: A) a comb member having a housing with an open neck end and a closed end defining an internal cavity therebetween and having a plurality of comb teeth extending from said housing, each of said comb teeth having a longitudinal passage therethrough for dispensing hair dye in said cavity through the comb teeth, B) an inflatable member in said cavity and extending through said open neck end of said housing, said inflatable member including a support body for being sealed against said comb member housing, a conduit extending through said support body to define an air passage and a balloon overlying said conduit on one side of said support body whereby said balloon can be immersed in the hair dye in said housing cavity, C) a handle containing an air pump having an outlet port that can be sealed to said conduit on the other side of said support body whereby operation of said air pump expands said balloon and displaces hair dye from said cavity through each longitudinal passage in said comb teeth. 14. A hair dye applicator as recited in claim 13 wherein said inflatable bladder includes: i) a support body, ii) a conduit with first and second ends carried intermediate said ends by said support body, said first end being adapted for connection to said pump as an inlet to said conduit and said conduit having at least one aperture therethrough intermediate said support body and said outlet end, and iii) a balloon having an expansible body extending over said conduit from said second end to a position adjacent said support body and a neck attached to said conduit proximate said support body. 15. A hair dye applicator as recited in claim 14 wherein said seal at said fill port includes a first annular seal for placement between said support body and said hollow member, and a second annular seal intermediate said balloon neck and said hollow member. 16. A hair dye applicator as recited in claim 14 wherein said pump comprises: i) a squeeze bulb having inlet and outlet ports, ii) a one-way inlet valve connected to said inlet port, and iii) a one-way outlet valve connected to said output port whereby repeated squeezing of said squeeze bulb inflates said balloon and dispenses hair dye from said dispenser ports. 17. A hair dye applicator as recited in claim 16 including another seal at said inlet end of said conduit. 18. A hair dye applicator comprising: A) dispensing means for dispensing hair dye in a cavity through passages in a plurality of comb teeth and including fill port means for receiving hair dye, B) inflatable means extending through said fill port means into said dispensing means cavity for being expanded in said cavity thereby to dispense hair dye through said passages, C) sealing means between said dispensing means and said inflatable means for preventing hair dye from escaping through said fill port means, D) handle means attached to said dispensing means and said inflatable means for enabling an individual to grasp said hair dye applicator, said handle means including pump means for directing air into said inflatable means whereby operation of said pump means expands said inflatable means and ejects hair dye from said cavity through each said dispensing passage, and E) sealing means between said handle means and said dispensing means for preventing hair dye from entering said handle means.
