This invention relates to a combined/integrated hair oil dispenser and scalp massaging device to be used to apply hair oil or hair tonic and also to be used as scalp massager. Presently, the use of hair oil/hair tonics suffer from the disadvantage that the contents of the bottle need to be poured onto the palm of one's hand or directly on to the scalp resulting in a process that is impractical usually resulting in excess use of the product while at the same time causing spillage which may drip on to the user's clothe or floor thereby spilling clothes, floors and carpets. Thus users suffer from the disadvantage that the tonic/ oil is not easily applied to the hair without spilling or creating a mess or applying inappropriate quantities and without being obliged to manually rub the oil or tonic on to the scalp. The invention offers a more convenient and practical use and application of hair oil/ hair tonics and one which may be used at any time without facing spillage or dirtying the clothe or floor. Further it helps to improve circulation in the scalp, accomplish invigoration and stimulate hair growth. PRIOR ART US Patent 5421799 by Rabin et al, describes a scalp massager which utilizes a rigid but yet bendable main supporting frame which is to be mounted on a human head and extend from the nape to the forehead. A vibrator is to be mounted exteriorly on the main supporting frame. Interiorly mounted on the main supporting frame is a ma parietal pad assembly with there also being mounted a temporal pad assemble and an occiput pad assembly mounted on the main supporting frame. Each of these pad assemblies are s=designed to come into contact with the corresponding areas of a human head. Each of these pad assemblies is designed to be adjustable on the main supporting frame so as to accommodate different sizes of human heads. US Patent 5277174 by Schmidhauser, describes a scalp massager comprising a helmet is provided with three first fixed contact points contacting the scalp of the user located in the vicinity of the summit of the helmet. It comprises further three second contact points one in the frontal zone of the helmet and the other ones in the parieto-temporal zones of said helmet, these second contact points comprising an inflating pump and a valve permitting to apply them against the scalp with an adjustable , determined, pressure. Finally, the helmet comprises further an eccentric driven in rotation by a motor. US Patent 4807604 by Canela, describes a scalp massaser connected to a tap water supply, such as a shower head, through a flexible conduit. The massager includes a pulsating water shower head that is slidably mounted along a plurality of a locking nut for adjusting and setting the shower head in a given position to constantly apply the pulsating water over an area of the user's scalp. US Patent 4506659 by Chester, describes a massaging device for the scalp includes a pair of massaging elements which frictionally engage the scalp and are reciprocated with respect to each other in a generally horizontal direction with respect to the head resulting in moving relatively large areas of the scalp with respect to the skull and also with respect to each other and thereby substantially duplicate the massaging action obtained with the usual hand massage. All the foregoing prior art scalp massagers are specific and specialized scalp massagers involving helmets for wearing by the users and consisting several supportive assemblies for working of the massagers. Such massagers are not suitable for day to day or frequent use due to complicacy of functions. Further these features do not permit and are not effective as hair oil/tonic dispenser. US Patent 4090522 by Donley, et al also describes a comb for applying medication to the hair and scalp; the comb being hollow so to contain the medication, and the comb teeth each having a central opening extending to the tooth tip so that as the comb is combed through the hair, the medication is dispensed out of the tip of the teeth and massaged into the scalp. But this feature is basically a improved version of comb and the medication has to be previously stored in the inner container prior to use. The Known art in the category of combined hair oil/ tonic dispenser cum scalp massager, thus , does not provide a simple to use yet effective mechanism whereby hair oil/ tonic can be more easily applied and scalp massaging is achieved by improved circulation for accomplishing invigoration and stimulation of scalp. OBJECT OF INVENTION The object of the invention is to provide a new device of hair oil/ tonic dispenser and massager for easy yet effective use. Another object of the invention is to provide a scalp massager for massaging scalp with hair oil / tonic. Another object of the invention is to provide a scalp massager which helps to improve circulation in the scalp as well as accomplish invigoration and stimulate the scalp and permit greater efficiency and effective use of Hair oil/ Hair Tonic.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT IN REFERENCE TO DRAWING This new device is to be used for scalp massaging and the efficient application of Hair oil to the scalp. In reference to the accompanying drawings fig.1 to fig 9, the various essential components of the device is described below— The device consists of 10 components. Main body holds Hair Oil/Tonic and the core part to support the other components. Top cover serves as cover to the body and consists of piston mechanism assembly in it. Bottom cover is the main component to transfer Hair oil/Tonic from body to brush, otherwise same as top cover. Piston fixed to the top cover as stated above and sponge brush inserted into the bottom cover. Components: 1 .Body: A nylon bar (readily available in the commercial market), of 40mm diameter is used to produce this component. The inner hole is to be of smooth finish, for the disc (4) to slide through the wall. This is to be machined with close tolerance to avoid escaping of hair oil through the gap. Inner threaded porting is providing for fixing the top cover (2). A recess is provided below the threaded portion to hold a rubber O ring (9) to seal the gap between threaded portion and bottom of the top cover (2). 2. Top Cover: Nylon disc tope component of 40 mm diameter and 10 mm thickness. External threaded portion gets screwed to the body in its match threading. A rubber O ring (9) is kept in its slot in the body (1) as a seat to the cover (2), to seal the screw tap. Inner threaded hole is meant for the screw (5), acts as piston rod. The screwing and unscrewing allows the screw to move up or down. This component also serves as lid for the body to fill the hair oil/hair tonic. 3. Bottom Cover: The material and construction is same as the top cover. Instead of threaded hole in the center, 10 numbers of recesses of 8 mm diameter and 5 mm depth, to accommodate sponge brush (7) is provided. Further the recesses are drilled with 6mm diameter through holes for the passage of Hair oil / Tonic from the body (1). This component also is threaded to the body (1) with a O ring (9) seat, similar to the top cover (2). 4. Disc: This is a thin nylon washer type component slides in the body inner surface. Outer and inner surface. Outer and inner surfaces are to be machined smooth for sliding with close tolerance, to avoid hair oil seepage. Stainless steel screw (5) gets fixed to the center and the disc is free to rotate over the screw. 5 Screw: A stainless steel screw, threaded in two steps, (one foe fixing the top cover and end thread for fixing the knob (6). A smooth step adjacent to the head is meant for the disc. It is secured by an external circlip (8). The disc is free to rotate on the screw (5). This assembly is fixed to the top cover. 6. Knob: It is nylon ball shaped component, fixed to the screw (5) end. The knob is twisted to clock wise direction to apply pressure to the oil surface through the disc (4). 7. Brush: A soft sponge cylindrical component, of ten numbers inserted in to the bottom cover it its recesses. The material is of latex rubber or polyurethane, similar to the material used for the mattress. This is the core component to absorb hair oil from the body and to pass to the scalp when gently pressed over it. The brush (7), as shown in Fig.9, is of cylindrical dispensing Hair oil/Tonic. The plastic nozzle head will release a small amount of Hair oil/Tonic as required. The assembly can also include / consist of, a rubber neck/ brace attached to a flexible nozzle head. The expandable rubber brace will allow the hair tonic dispenser to be stretched to fit over the top of a container or bottle holding the oil. The plastic nozzle head will release a small amount of the hair tonic. At the same time, while applied to the head or scalp, the outside of the assembly comprising of pressure points (brushes) may be massaged on the scalp. The expandable rubber brace however is not an essential part of the device since the device can function independently of the rubber brace/neck. The assembly can also be used as a paint dispenser. From the foregoing description of the hair oil dispenser and scalp massager assembly, it is evident that numerous deviations of the assembly may be possible while keeping intact the basic configuration and the principle of action.
