Suntan oil applicator

A lotion applicator consisting essentially of:

• a lower body portion and an upper body portion each one having a hollow conduit disposed therethrough, said lower body portion including a distal end defining a threaded cap portion at a proximal end thereof, said threaded cap portion including internal threads sized to fit a neck of a lotion bottle having exterior threads of a corresponding size for cooperative sealable engagement thereof;
• said lower body portion having a nipple extending from a selected portion thereof, said nipple being in fluid communication with said conduit therein and having a cap hingedly and releaseably covering and sealing said nipple;
• a tube in fluid communication with and joining said conduit of said lower body portion and said upper body portion;
• a helical spring coupling extending from and connecting said lower body portion to said upper body portion for positioning said upper body portion at a selected obtuse angle of less than 170 degrees with respect to said lower body portion;
• said tube extending coaxially through said helical spring coupling;
• said applicator head including a base plate having a convex rubber coated base sponge having a smooth surface, said base sponge having a pair of aperture formed therein in fluid communication with said upper conduit;
• said applicator head including a spreader extending around the marginal edge of at least a portion of said base plate, said spreader comprising an elongated raised ridge having a smooth rounded cross-sectional area;
• said applicator base including a groove around the periphery thereof disposed between said sponge and said spreader;
• said applicator head including a cover cap hingedly attached to a distal marginal edge of said base plate, said covercap including a rim forming a tongue around the peripheral edge thereof, said tongue of a corresponding size and shape to cooperatively engage said ridge of said base plate forming a leak tight seal when said cover cap is closed against said base plate of said applicator head;
• said cover a pair of snap lock balls extending from a distal marginal edge thereof;
• said upper body having a loop extending from a central portion thereof and capable of having said ball snapped there into for fixedly holding said cover against said base plate for releaseably engaging a corresponding snap ball projecting from a marginal edge of said base plate;
• said cover containing a pair of mating plugs capable of sealing engagement with said pair of apertures disposed within said base sponge for holding said lotion within said aperture upon closure of said cap with said base plate;
• and
• said upper body portion having a ball receiving socket on an exterior surface side opposite to said base sponge and said cover having a ball extending outward from an exterior surface side opposite to said at least one plug, said ball positioned to snap into said socket upon rotating said cover on said hinge for holding said cover in a fully open position;
• said lower body portion including a lower loop extending from a selected position;
• said upper body portion including a hook extending from a selected position for releaseably engaging said lower loop capable of capturing said hook for holding said applicator in a folded storage configuration;
• and
• said lower body portion including a nipple extending from a selected position thereof in fluid communication with said lower conduit and a cap hingedly connecting said lower body portion for closing and sealing said nipple.

A lotion applicator consisting of:

• a lower body portion having a hollow interior defining a lower conduit hingedly connecting to an upper body portion having a hollow interior defining an upper conduit and having an applicator head extending therefrom;
• a tube connecting lower conduit to said upper conduit;
• a helical spring coupling extending from and connecting said lower body portion to said upper body portion for positioning said upper body portion at a selected obtuse angle of less than 170 degrees with respect to said lower body portion;
• said tube extending coaxially through said helical spring coupling;
• said applicator head including a base plate having a base sponge having a smooth surface, said base sponge having at least one aperture formed therein in fluid communication with said upper conduit;
• said applicator head including a spreader extending around the marginal edge of at least a portion of said base plate, said spreader comprising an elongated raised ridge having a smooth rounded cross-sectional area;
• said applicator base including a groove around the periphery thereof disposed between said sponge and said spreader;
• said applicator head including a cover cap hingedly attached to a distal marginal edge of said base plate, said covercap including a rim forming a tongue around the peripheral edge thereof, said tongue of a corresponding size and shape to cooperatively engage said ridge of said base plate forming a leak tight seal when said cover cap is closed against said base plate of said applicator head;
• said cover including a pair of snap lock balls extending from a distal marginal edge thereof;
• said upper body having a loop extending from a central portion thereof and capable of having said ball snapped there into for fixedly holding said cover against said base plate for releaseably engaging a corresponding snap ball projecting from a marginal edge of said base plate;
• said cover containing at least one mating plug capable of sealing engagement with at least one aperture within said base sponge for holding said lotion within said aperture upon closure of said cap with said base plate;
• and
• said upper body portion having a ball receiving socket on an exterior surface side opposite to said base sponge and said cover having a ball extending outward from an exterior surface side opposite to said at least one plug, said ball positioned to snap into said socket upon rotating said cover on said hinge for holding said cover in a fully open position;
• said lower body portion including a means of attachment to a neck of a bottle;
• said lower body portion including a lower loop extending from a selected position;
• said upper body portion including a hook extending from a selected position for releaseably engaging said lower loop capable of capturing said hook for holding said applicator in a folded storage configuration;
• said lower body portion including a nipple extending from a selected position thereof in fluid communication with said lower conduit and a cap hingedly connecting said lower body portion for closing and sealing said nipple.
