Abstract
A correction fluid bottle (1) has a neck insert (4) defining a passage through which an applicator brush can be passed, and an inner end of the insert is terminated in a steeply inclined plane to define a tapered protrusion (15) extending into the bottle for drops of fluid running back through the neck to collect at the free end of the protrusion and fall back into the bottle, thereby avoiding a build up of dried fluid at the inner end of the neck.
Claims23
A container for correction fluid comprising a body, defining a chamber and an opening, and a neck extending into the chamber from the opening to define an elongated passage having an open annular end, the neck including a protrusion constructed to cause correction fluid within said passage to flow towards said protrusion and form a droplet at said protrusion,
- wherein said protrusion extends from said neck substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of said passage.
A correction fluid product comprising:
- a correction fluid applicator comprising a cap, an elongated stem mounted on said cap and an applicator tip;
- a container comprising
- a body, defining a chamber and an opening for receiving the correction fluid applicator, and
- a neck, extending from said opening into said chamber and defining a passage dimensioned to receive said elongated stem, the neck having an open annular end within said chamber and a protrusion, at said annular end, constructed to cause correction fluid within said passage to flow towards said protrusion and form a droplet at said protrusion,
- wherein said protrusion extends from said neck substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of said passage;
- and
- a correction fluid within said chamber;
- said applicator being constructed to be stored within said container when said correction fluid product is not in use.
