Abstract
A tong shape apparatus comprised of a right rod and left rod, each rod having an applicator at its lower ends and upper ends connected by a pivot on a spring action. This method will seal the contents of the dispenser which has a single opening. In between the applicators and pivot, there are blocking members which divide the rods into lower and upper sections. The upper section may be used as a handle. When the tong is in a closed position, applicators, rods and blocking members match to form one unit, which makes insertion into a single opening of the dispenser. The blocking members protect the contents and applicators, and also insure that the upper rods and handles remain above the opening.
