Abstract
A device for dispensing comprises a reservoir containing a composition comprising particles containing at least one fluid, an application member having at least a portion removably disposed within the reservoir and configured to be loaded with the composition and a compacting member configured to exert pressure on at least the portion of the application member during removal of the portion of the application member from the reservoir.
Claims148
A device for dispensing a composition, comprising:
- a reservoir containing a composition comprising particles containing at least one fluid;
- an applicator comprising an application member, at least a portion of the application member being configured to be loaded with the composition;
- and
- a compacting member associated with the reservoir,
- wherein said device is configured such that, during a movement of the applicator with respect to the reservoir, the portion of the application member loaded with the composition contacts at least a portion of the compacting member and pressure exerted between the portion of the application member and the portion of the compacting member promotes anchoring of the composition on at least the portion of the application member.
A device for dispensing a composition comprising particles containing at least one fluid, the device comprising:
- a reservoir containing a composition comprising particles containing at least one fluid;
- an application member having at least a portion configured to be loaded with the composition;
- and
- a compacting member configured to permit passage therethrough of at least the portion of the application member configured to be loaded with the composition, the compacting member being configured to exert pressure on at least the portion of the application member.
A method of dispensing a composition comprising particles containing at least one fluid, the method comprising:
- providing an application member, a compacting member, and a reservoir containing a composition comprising particles containing at least one fluid;
- loading at least a portion of the application member with the composition;
- passing at least the loaded portion of the application member through the compacting member;
- and
- exerting pressure on at least the loaded portion of the application member with the compacting member.
A device for dispensing a composition comprising particles containing at least one fluid, the device comprising:
- a reservoir containing a composition comprising particles containing at least one fluid;
- an application member having at least a portion removably disposed within the reservoir, at least the portion being configured to be loaded with the composition;
- and
- a compacting member configured to exert pressure on at least the portion of the application member during removal of the portion of the application member from the reservoir.
The device of 102, wherein the portion of the application member moves relative to the compacting member during the removal of the portion from the reservoir.
A method of dispensing a composition comprising particles containing at least one fluid, the method comprising:
- providing a reservoir containing a composition comprising particles containing at least one fluid, an application member having at least a portion removably disposed in the reservoir, and a compacting member;
- loading at least the portion of the application member with the composition;
- removing at least the loaded portion of the application member from the reservoir;
- and
- exerting pressure on the loaded portion of the application member with the compacting member during removal of the portion of the application member from the reservoir.
