Substance applicator

An applicator, said applicator being formed of a moldable plastic material and comprising a hollow body having a central longitudinal axis, said hollow body being arranged to hold a substance therein, said body including a shoulder portion, a central-recessed portion, and a base portion, said shoulder portion being located above said central recessed portion and merging with said central recessed portion at an upper end thereof and including a top wall having an opening therein, said base portion being located below said central recessed portion and merging with said central recessed portion at a lower end thereof and including a bottom wall, said shoulder portion including a sidewall portion of circular periphery having a first predetermined outside diameter measured perpendicular to said central longitudinal axis, said base portion including a sidewall portion of circular periphery having said first predetermined outside diameter measured perpendicular to said central longitudinal axis, said central recessed portion including a smooth continuous sidewall formed as an oval having a major outside diameter and a minor outside diameter, said central recessed portion of said body merging with said sidewall portion of said shoulder portion at major upper flared surfaces and at minor upper flared surfaces, said major outside diameter having a dimension that decreases uniformly in the downward direction from said upper end of said central recessed portion and decreases uniformly in the upward direction from said lower end of said central recessed portion to a minimum dimension substantially at the middle of said central recessed portion, said minor outside diameter having a dimension that is substantially constant from the bottom of said minor upper flared regions downward to the vicinity of said base portion, said major upper flared surfaces being shaped to receive the thumb and middle finger of one hand of a person and said minor upper flared surfaces being shaped to receive the index finger of said hand of said person to enable said person to matingly hold said applicator in diametrically opposed rotational positions and is positioned to apply axial force to said applicator to be readily inverted to orient said applicator downward and to permit force readily to be applied to said surface by way of said applicator.
