Abstract
Various embodiments of devices for retrieving and applying product from within a container are provided. In one embodiment the device comprises a flexible shaft having a proximal and distal end; a rod having a proximal and distal end, the rod positioned within the flexible shaft; and a tip coupled to the distal end of the rod by a living hinge. Pressure applied between the proximal and distal end of the flexible shaft bends the living hinge which rotates the tip from a first position to a second position.

A device for retrieving and applying product from within a container, the device comprising:
- a flexible shaft having a proximal and distal end;
- a deformable rod having a proximal and distal end, the deformable rod positioned within a flexible portion of the flexible shaft;
- and
- a tip coupled to the distal end of the rod by a living hinge;
- wherein pressure applied between the proximal and distal end of the flexible shaft deforms the deformable rod and bends the living hinge which rotates the tip from a first position to a second position.
A system, comprising:
- a container configured for containing a product therein;
- and
- a device for retrieving and applying product from within the container, the device comprising:
- a flexible shaft having a proximal and distal end;
- a deformable rod having a proximal and distal end, the deformable rod positioned within a flexible portion of the flexible shaft;
- and
- a tip coupled to the distal end of the rod by a living hinge;
- wherein pressure applied between the proximal and distal end of the flexible shaft deforms the deformable rod and bends the living hinge which rotates the tip from a first position to a second position.
A device for retrieving and applying product from within a container, the device comprising:
- a cap;
- a flexible shaft having a proximal and distal end, the flexible shaft coupled with the cap at the proximal end;
- a deformable rod having a proximal and distal end, the deformable rod positioned within a flexible portion of the flexible shaft;
- and
- a tip coupled to the distal end of the rod by a living hinge;
- wherein pressure applied between the proximal and distal end of the flexible shaft deforms the deformable rod and bends the living hinge which rotates the tip from a first position to a second position.
