Bottle with built-in telescoping applicator head and spout for applying fluid to a body

A bottle for storing a fluid and for applying the fluid to a human body, said bottle comprising:

• a container having an opening;
• an elongated rod member having a longitudinal axis, said rod member being located in said opening, and said rod member being slidable along its longitudinal axis relative to said container and being sealed against said container so that an inner end of the rod member is located within the container and an outer end of the rod member is located outside the container;
• said rod member having a duct extending at least partially in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the rod member, said duct forming a fluid connection between an outlet at said outer end of the rod member and an orifice that is situated at an inner end portion of the rod member which is within the container;
• and
• an applicator movably mounted at the outer end of the rod member between a first closure position and a second open position, said applicator having an applicator member that is permeable for the fluid and being in fluid communication with the outlet of the duct when the applicator is in the second open position and being out of fluid communication with the outlet of the duct when the applicator is in the first closure positions;
• and
• said orifice of said rod member being spaced from a wall of said container when said rod member is fully retracted within said container such that fluid can flow to said applicator member via said orifice and said duct when said applicator is in said second open position, regardless of whether said rod member is retracted fully into said container or extended from said container.
