Abstract
A device for the application of a gel or solid substance to a human body surface is disclosed. The apparatus is comprised of an applicator portion to which gel or solid deodorant is secured and which is coupled to a handle portion.

The handle portion comprises a moveable connecting point allowing the handle portion to traverse between a storage position and a gripping position during use.
Claims21
Apparatus for the application of an appliable deodorant substance to the surface of the human body comprising:
- (a) a base comprising:
- (i) an applicator portion having a thickness and a width, said applicator portion having a deodorant support surface, said applicator portion having a thickness substantially smaller than its width, said deodorant support surface defining relatively raised and relatively depressed substantially rigid surfaces;
- and
- (ii) a gripping portion;
- (b) a deodorant substance secured to the deodorant support surface on said applicator portion of said base, said deodorant being received in at least said relatively depressed surfaces whereby the application of forces roughly parallel to said deodorant support surface causes the exposed outer surface of the deodorant substance to be have its vertical height reduced, but does not substantially displace said deodorant along said support surface at said support surface, said base and deodorant substance forming an applicator;
- and
- (c) a protective member, supported over said deodorant substance defining a substantially closed compartment protecting and housing said deodorant substance.
Apparatus for the application of an appliable deodorant substance to the surface of a human body comprising:
- (a) a base comprising:
- (i) an applicator portion having a thickness and a width, said applicator portion having a deodorant support surface, said applicator portion having a thickness substantially smaller than its width, said deodorant support surface defining relatively raised and relatively depressed substantially rigid surfaces;
- and
- (ii) a gripping portion;
- and
- (b) a deodorant substance secured to the deodorant support surface on said applicator portion of said base, said deodorant being received in at least said relatively depressed surfaces whereby the application of forces roughly parallel to said deodorant support surface causes the exposed outer surface of the deodorant substance to be have its vertical height reduced, but does not substantially displace said deodorant along said support surface at said support surface, said base and deodorant substance forming an applicator, wherein a matrix of recesses defines an array of narrow elongated contours, at least some of said narrow elongated contours extending at least partially around one or more of others of said narrow elongated contours, wherein each of said narrow elongated contours defines a recess defined by facing sidewalls, said facing sidewalls extending at an angle with respect to said deodorant support surface, said facing sidewalls engaging said deodorant substance.
Apparatus for the application of an appliable deodorant substance to the surface of the human body comprising:
- (a) a base comprising:
- (i) an applicator portion having a thickness and a width, said applicator portion having a deodorant support surface, said applicator portion having a thickness substantially smaller than its width, said deodorant support surface defining relatively raised and relatively depressed substantially rigid surfaces;
- and
- (ii) a gripping portion, said applicator portion and said gripping portion being formed of a single film-like member;
- and
- (b) a deodorant substance secured to the deodorant support surface on said applicator portion of said base, said deodorant being received in at least said relatively depressed surfaces whereby the application of forces roughly parallel to said deodorant support surface causes the exposed outer surface of the deodorant substance to be have its vertical height reduced, but does not substantially displace said deodorant along said support surface at said support surface, and said base and deodorant substance forming an applicator.
