Claims13
A container for disposable applicators, comprising:
- a main body comprising a containment seat defined by at least one side wall and a bottom wall, accessible through a first access opening opposite said bottom wall, the containment seat being suitable for containing a plurality of disposable applicators;
- and
- a reservoir suitable for containing a substance to be applied to said disposable applicators, wherein:
- the reservoir and the main body form two distinct pieces,
- the container further comprises a coupling portion projecting out from said at least one side wall towards an outside of the main body and suitable for coupling the reservoir with the main body, the coupling portion comprising a coupling seat suitable for holding the reservoir in position next to the containment seat, the coupling portion having inclined outer side walls so as to allow additional containers to be stacked interpenetrating each other when said reservoir is not coupled with said container and before said container is filled, and
- the coupling portion comprises a laterally protruding collar having a first collar opening adjacent to said containment seat, and a second collar opening opposite said first collar opening, the laterally protruding collar surrounding a portion of the reservoir so that said reservoir passes through said second collar opening when the reservoir is fastened to the main body.
