Abstract
A dispenser (10) for dispensing a flowable material M has a first container (12) configured to contain the flowable material M. The first container (12) is configured to be fracturable in response to a force applied thereto. A second container (14) has a first open end and a second closed end wherein the first container (12) is contained within the second container (14). The dispenser (10) further has an applicator assembly (16) operably positioned in the first open end of the second container (14) and defining a juncture therebetween. A connector member (18) is positioned proximate the juncture wherein the connector member (18) provides a compressive force proximate the juncture.
Claims18
A dispenser for dispensing a flowable material, the dispenser comprising:
- a first container configured to contain the flowable material, the first container configured to be fracturable in response to a force applied thereto;
- a second container having a first open end and a second closed end wherein the first container is contained within the second container;
- an applicator assembly operably positioned in the first open end of the second container and defining a juncture therebetween;
- a connector member positioned proximate the juncture, the connector member providing a compressive force proximate the juncture.
A dispenser for dispensing a flowable material, the dispenser comprising:
- a first container configured to contain the flowable material, the first container configured to be fracturable in response to a force applied thereto;
- a second container having a first open end and a second closed end wherein the first container is contained within the second container;
- an applicator assembly operably positioned in the first open end of the second container and defining a juncture therebetween;
- a shrinkwrap member having a first segment and a second segment, the first segment positioned proximate the juncture and providing a compressive force proximate the juncture, the second segment extending along a length of the second container and defining a label portion, and having indicia on the label portion.
A dispenser for dispensing a flowable material, the dispenser comprising:
- a first container configured to contain the flowable material, the first container configured to be fracturable in response to a force applied thereto, the first container being a glass ampoule;
- a second container having a first open end and a second closed end wherein the first container is contained within the second container, the second container being of a resilient plastic material;
- an applicator assembly operably positioned in the first open end of the second container, the applicator assembly having a base and protrusion extending from the base, the protrusion positioned in the first open end of the second container in an interference fit and defining a juncture at an interface area between the base and an annular edge of the second container defining the first open end, the applicator assembly further having a dropper tip member extending from the base, the applicator assembly having a central conduit extending through the applicator assembly from the protrusion to the dropper tip member;
- a shrinkwrap member having a first segment and a second segment, the first segment positioned proximate the interface area and across the juncture and providing a compressive force proximate the juncture, the second segment extending along a length of the second container and defining a label portion, and having indicia on the label portion.
