Abstract
An applicator for applying creams, lotions, medicine, etc. to the body of a user. There is a sleeve coupled to a textured platform and/or reservoir. The sleeve is shaped and sized to friction fit to a pair of adjacent fingertips of a user and thereby to allow the user to beneficially apply, by fingertip control, fluid/cream/powder/etc. products. The textured platform includes an indented front portion, a reservoir, that is coupled to and/or integral to the sleeve such that when the sleeve is disposed over a pair of fingers, the indented front portion extends forward from the pads of the fingertips. There is also a tab.
Claims20
An applicator, consisting of:
- a. a sleeve shaped to receive a pair of adjacent fingers of a user and elastically couple thereabout, the sleeve including a thicker front-region having a tab protruding from an open end of the sleeve, wherein the sleeve includes a cavity having a height, a width, and a depth, the depth being a distance from a mouth of the cavity to a base of the cavity, and the height and width being each orthogonal thereto, wherein a ratio of the width to the height is between 1.6 and 2.4;
- and
- b. a reservoir disposed in the thicker front-region of the sleeve.
An applicator for manual application of non-solid personal care products to a person, comprising:
- a. a sleeve shaped to receive a pair of adjacent fingers of a user and elastically couple thereabout, the sleeve including a planar front-region and a planar back region, wherein the planar front region is thicker than the planar back region along its entirety;
- and
- b. a reservoir disposed in the planar front region of the sleeve, the reservoir being a depression disposed within the planar front region and having a reservoir edge entirely surrounding the reservoir.
An applicator for manual application of non-solid personal care products to the face of a person, consisting essentially of:
- a. a sleeve having a cavity with a ratio of width to height greater than 1.6 and thereby shaped to receive a pair of adjacent fingers of a user and elastically couple thereabout, the sleeve including a front-region having a tab extending outwardly from an open end of the sleeve, wherein the front-region does not include any protrusions;
- and
- b. a concave reservoir recessed into the front-region of the sleeve.
