Apparatus and process for providing pasty or liquid- to cream-like substances

Abstract

An apparatus for providing a pasty or liquid- to cream-like substance comprises a container, in which a relatively large supply of the substance is stored, and a closure and dispensing element, which closes a delivery opening of the container. On the one hand, the closure and dispensing element is used for retaining the substance stored in the container, and on the other hand for dispensing a small amount of this substance upon contact of the closure and dispensing element with a surface to be wetted. The closure and dispensing element is designed to be planar and is equipped with openings arranged in a grid-like manner. The openings are designed in such a way that, on the one hand, they hold back a pasty or liquid- to cream-like substance arranged in the interior of the container against the pressure exerted by the substance, in the position of use of the apparatus and, on the other hand, upon contact with the outer surface of the closure and dispensing apparatus with a surface to be wetted, they dispense a small amount of the pasty or liquid- to cream-like substance in a controlled manner.
