Disposable swab

A disposable swab for application of medicament and the like to the skin, which comprises a sheet-like generally stiff strip folded into a structure of triangular cross section, a base of said triangular cross-sectioned strip defining a central panel;

• a pad member carried on the exterior face of said central panel, a pair of triangular leg panels attached through an inner pair of fold lines to opposed ends of said central panel, said triangular leg panels converging together at their ends opposed to said inner pair of fold lines to form a triangular apex, and a pair of terminal panels, each connected respectively to one of the triangular leg panels through one of an outer pair of fold lines positioned at said triangular apex, said end panels being adapted to occupy a flat, abutting relation, whereby said triangular structure forms a finger grippable portion defined by the abutting end panels for easy manual swabbing of medicament and the like carried by the pad member across the skin.

A disposable swab for application of materials to a surface, which comprises:

• a sheet-like generally stiff strip, pad member means centrally attached to both sides of said strip, an inner pair of fold lines transversely positioned in said strip, each fold line of said inner pair being positioned on opposite sides of and positioned adjacent an opposite end of each pad member by generally equal distances, to permit opposed, terminal portions of said strip to be folded rearwardly relative to said pad, and an outer pair of fold lines transversely positioned in said strip, each fold line of said outer pair being positioned adjacent opposite ends of said strip and spaced by generally equal distances to permit end portions of the rearwardly folded terminal portions to be pinched by the fingers together into flat, abutting relation, whereby said strip can form a structure which is generally triangular in cross section, the base of said triangular cross section carrying said pad member.

A disposable swab for application of a material to a surface, which comprises:

• a sheet-like, generally stiff strip folded into a structure of triangular cross section, a base of said triangular cross-sectioned strip defining a central panel;
• a first pad member carried on the exterior face of said central panel, a second pad member carried on the opposite side of said central panel, a pair of triangular leg panels attached through an inner pair of fold lines to opposed ends of said central panel, said triangular leg panels converging together at their ends opposed to said inner pair of fold lines to form a triangular apex.

A disposable swab which comprises a flat, sheet-like, generally stiff strip, a pad member centrally attached to at least one side of said strip;

• an inner pair of fold lines transversely positioned in said strip, each fold line of said inner pair being positioned on opposite sides of and positioned adjacent opposite ends of said pad member by generally equal distances, to permit opposed, terminal portions of said strip to be folded rearwardly relative to said pad to form a structure of generally triangular cross section which can be grasped by the fingers, the base of said triangular cross section carrying said pad member.
