Abstract
An applicator having an upper cap with a base having a first tubular member and a feed tube, a free end of which extends from the base, and an opposite end adapted to engage a container valve such as an aerosol can. The applicator includes a lower cap having a second tubular member adapted to be removably attached to the container. The upper cap is attached to the lower cap such that the first tubular member is slidably inserted into the second tubular member. The upper cap is movable relative to the lower cap from a first position, in which the feed tube free end is disengaged with the valve, and a second position, in which the opposite end of the feed tube is engaged with the container valve and pushes it to an engaged position such that container contents are released through the feed tube.
Claims25
An applicator, comprising
- an upper cap including a base having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a first tubular member extending from the first end of the base and having an interior portion, and a feed tube having a first end located within the interior portion of the first tubular member, and a second end extending outwardly from the second end of the base, wherein the first end of the feed tube is adapted to engage a valve extending from a first end of a container;
- and
- a lower cap having a first end, a second end opposite the first end of the lower cap, an interior portion extending between the first end of the lower cap and the second end of the lower cap, and a second tubular member extending inwardly from the second end of the lower cap, wherein the first end of the lower cap is adapted to be removably attached to the first end of the container,
- wherein the upper cap is attached to the lower cap such that the first tubular member of the upper cap is slidably inserted into the second tubular member of the lower cap,
- wherein the upper cap is movable longitudinally relative to the lower cap from a first position, in which the first end of the feed tube is disengaged with the valve of the container, and a second position, in which the first end of the feed tube is engaged with the valve of the container and pushes the valve to an engaged position such that contents of the container are released therefrom and conveyed through the feed tube and expelled from the second end of the tube.
