Abstract
A dispenser for material including an applicator, an elongated housing member with a well at one end thereof for receiving the applicator to shield the applicator, a laterally opening receptacle carried by the housing member for holding a coherent body of the material to be dispensed and applied, and structure carried by or forming a part of the housing member for closing the receptacle to shield the material.
Claims30
A dispenser for material which is in the form of a coherent body and is to be applied to a surface, comprising:
- (a) a manipulable applicator unit including an applicator for the material;
- and
- (b) a material container unit having proximal and distal ends and comprising an assembly including
- (i) a well, opening through the proximal end of the unit, in which the applicator is removably insertable, for storing and shielding the applicator;
- (ii) a receptacle with an open side, disposed distally of the well and opening laterally of the unit, for holding a coherent body of the material;
- and
- (iii) a cover manually movable relative to the receptacle for opening and closing the receptacle, the receptacle when open providing access for the applicator to be brought into contact with material of the coherent body.
A dispenser for material which is in the form of a coherent body and is to be applied to a surface, comprising:
- (a) a tubular and open-ended housing member having opposed proximal and distal extremities and a lateral opening;
- (b) an inner member, including a receptacle having an open side for holding a coherent body of the material, disposed within the housing member for rotation relative thereto between positions in which the open side of the receptacle is respectively in and out of register with the lateral opening of the housing member;
- and
- (c) a manipulable applicator unit, including an applicator for the material, insertable in the proximal extremity of the housing member so as to seat removably therein;
- the applicator unit and the inner member having mutually engageable portions for transmitting rotary motion of the applicator unit to the inner member to rotate the inner member between the aforesaid positions when the applicator unit is at least partially inserted in the proximal end of the housing member.
