Applicator

A set of components for being assembled as an applicator of a substance that a user can apply to a target region, said set of components comprising:

• a platform and a dome, wherein
• said platform has an outer side and has an inner side defining a substance support surface that can support a substance, and said platform defines (1) at least one fill passage that extends from said platform outer side to said platform inner side, and (2) at least one channel that is located between portion of said substance support surface and that communicates between said platform inner side and said platform outer side;
• said dome is adapted to be initially installed on said platform over substance support surface to define a cavity for being filled with a substance that can be supported on said substance support surface while gas can be vented from said cavity through at least a portion of said at least one channel to said platform outer side;
• wherein said dome is an initially installed inner side cap;
• and
• said, set of components further including a lid that is adapted to be selectively located at (1) a closed position at least initially over said initially installed inner side cap, and (2) an open position that provides access to said initially installed inner side cap for removal by the user to expose the substance for application by contacting a target region with a portion of the exposed substance.

A set of components for being assembled as an applicator of a substance that a user can apply to a target region, said set of components comprising:

• a platform and a dome, wherein
• said platform has an outer side and has an inner side defining a substance support surface that can support a substance, and said platform defines (1) at least one fill passage that extends from said platform outer side to said platform inner side, and (2) at least one channel that is located between portions of said substances support surface and that communicates between said platform inner side and said platform outer side;
• said dome is adapted to be initially installed on said platform over said substance support surface to define a cavity for being filled with a substance that can be supported on said substance support surface while gas can be vented from said cavity through at least a portion of said at least one channel to said platform outer side;
• said platform includes a conduit defining said at least one fill passage;
• said platform outer side includes a containment wall that (1) is spaced from said conduit, and (2) peripherally surrounds said conduit;
• at least a portion of said platform extends from said containment wall toward said conduit to define a projection against which the substance can be engaged on said platform outer side to increase engagement and retention of the substance with said platform;
• and
• said platform projection defines a portion of said substance support surface and terminates at a location spaced from said conduit so as to define an opening between said projection and said conduit.

• a platform and dome, wherein
• said platform has an outer side and has an inner side defining a substance support surface that can support a substance, and said platform defines (1) at least one fill passage that extends from said platform outer side to said platform inner side, and (2) at least one channel that is located between portions of said substance support surface and that communicates between said platform inner side and said platform outer side;
• said dome is adapted to be initially installed on said platform over said substance support surface to define a cavity for being filled with a substance that can be supported on said substance support surface while gas can be vented from said cavity through at least a portion of said at least one channel to said platform outer side;
• said at least one channel has a bottom floor and a rib projecting from said bottom floor;
• said at least one rib extends beyond said at least one channel bottom floor toward said at least one fill passage;
• and
• said at least one fill passage is defined by a conduit supported by said at least one rib.

An applicator package containing a substance that a user can apply to a target region, said applicator package comprising:

• a platform having an outer side and having an inner side defining a substance support surface, said platform defining (1) at least one fill passage that extends from said platform outer side to said platform inner side, and (2) at least one channel that is located between portions of said substance support surface and that communicates between said platform inner side and said platform outer side;
• a substance supported on said platform substance support surface;
• and
• a dome that is releasably mounted on said platform over said substance at said platform inner side;
• wherein said dome is an initially installed inner side cap;
• and
• said applicator package further including a lid that is adapted to be selectively located at (1) a closed position at least initially over said inner side cap, and (2) an open position that provides access to said inner side cap for removal by the user to expose said substance for application by contacting a target region with a portion of the exposed substance.
