Abstract
An applicator for applying a fluid such as a cream, lotion, serum, gel or other flowable material to a substrate may have fluid reservoir, a housing in which the reservoir moves to release flowable material and an applicator head for applying the flowable material to a substrate.
Claims21
An applicator having a reservoir, an outer housing disposed about the reservoir, at least one of the outer housing and the reservoir having a projection disposed thereon for selectively engaging the other of the outer housing and reservoir to selectively prevent movement of the reservoir relative to the outer housing in a manner which could cause flowable material to be ejected from the housing, an applicator head and a manifold having an intake disposed in communication with the reservoir for receiving flowable material from the reservoir, and a plurality of dispensing tubes made from a flexible material disposed on an opposing side the manifold from the intake and extending into the applicator head so that the plurality of dispensing tubes deflect as the applicator head is being used.
An applicator for applying a fluid to a substrate, the applicator comprising:
- a fluid filled reservoir;
- a top cap attached to the fluid reservoir, the top cap having a valve and a suction tube extending into the fluid reservoir;
- an outer housing disposed about the fluid reservoir, the outer housing and the fluid filled reservoir selectively interacting the allow the fluid filled reservoir to move in a first direction within the outer housing when the fluid filled reservoir and outer housing are in a first position relative to one another and prevent the fluid filled reservoir to move in the first direction when the fluid filled reservoir and the outer housing are in a second position relative to one another;
- and
- an applicator head cap comprising an applicator head being attached to the outer housing and being disposed in engagement with the top cap, and wherein the applicator head cap comprises a cavity with a manifold being disposed in the cavity and an applicator head partly disposed in the cavity above the manifold, wherein the manifold has a plurality of flexible dispensing tubes spaced apart from one another and extending into the applicator head so that the dispensing tubes may deflect as the applicator head is being used.
An applicator for applying a fluid to a substrate, the applicator comprising a reservoir for holding a flowable material, an applicator head cap disposed in communication with the reservoir, a cavity formed in the head cap and an elliptical manifold body having an intake on one side and a plurality of dispensing tubes extending from an opposing side, the intake and the plurality of dispensing tubes being disposed generally parallel to one another, a removable applicator head and wherein the plurality of dispensing tubes extend into the applicator head when the applicator head is disposed on top of the manifold, and wherein the applicator head comprises a plurality of bristles.
