The sealing cap engages with the container body and the container body is entirely sealed by the sealing cap. The smearing component is rotatably arranged around an opening end of the container body. A part of the buckle plug is fixed on the container body, the other part thereof matches with an end of the smearing component, and the smearing component is positioned in an axial direction by the buckle plug and the container body. The advantages of the packaging container can be achieved by the smearing component being arranged on a rolling rod of the liquid outlet of the container body and the smearing component being positioned on the container body in the axial direction by means of the buckle plug.

Abstract: Illustrative applicators include a roller controllably coupled to a reservoir by a wicking agent such as a felt applicator insert. A cap for the applicator is also provided. The action of the cap being placed over the roller brings the roller into contact with the wicking agent, applying product contained in the reservoir to the roller. Removing the cap causes the roller to move out of contact with the wicking agent, allowing a quantity of product applied to the roller while the cap is on the applicator to be used.

Abstract: Tooth cleaning devices that are designed for portable, discrete use improve dental hygiene as well as cosmetic appearance of teeth. For example, teeth can be discreetly cleaned after drinking dark-colored beverages in social settings wherein conventional teeth cleaning devices are unavailable or inconvenient. The portable and discrete tooth cleaning devices can be used with described processes and stored and dispensed with described devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to an applicator for applying a product to the nails or to the skin, comprising: a gripping portion, a stem extending from the gripping portion along a longitudinal axis X-X, and an applicator member fixed in a housing at the free end of the stem. According to the invention, the stem of the applicator has, along the axis X-X, a succession of noncircular cross sections that are angularly offset with respect to one another about said axis X-X so as to form a helical pattern.

Abstract: In a glue stick for a hot-glue device, in particular a glue gun, having an external contour which has a length and a diameter, a given ratio of length to diameter is in the range from 1:1 to 7:1.

Abstract: A marker storage accessory includes a main body having marker-engaging structure and writing surface engaging structure. The main body may also include cap-engaging structure or, alternatively, blocking structure. The marker-engaging structure includes a plurality of circumferentially positioned teeth adapted to be conformingly inserted into the complementarily shaped channels defined by the ribs located on the non-writing end of a writing instrument such as a dry-erase marker. The cap-engaging structure can include ribs creating a geometry adapted to conformingly receive the protruding end of a cap for the writing instrument. The blocking structure can be a protrusion adapted to prevent attachment of the marker storage accessory on the nub-end of the writing instrument while permitting attachment of a marker cap. When the marker storage accessory is attached to the writing surface, the marker self-positions to a generally nub-down orientation.

Abstract: A pressure fluctuation buffering mechanism includes a buffer space connected to a brush via a paint flow space (a paint tank and a paint feeder) through which paint flows. The pressure fluctuation buffering mechanism buffers pressure fluctuations in the paint tank by the flow of paint and air between the paint flow space and the buffer space. The pressure fluctuation buffering mechanism includes a first buffer space forming member for forming a first buffer space in the buffer space, and a second buffer space forming member for forming a second buffer space in the buffer space. The paint between the first buffer space and the paint flow space flows more easily than the paint between the second buffer space and the paint flow space.
