Abstract: A dispenser (10) for dispensing a flowable material M has a first container (12) configured to contain the flowable material M. The first container (12) is configured to be fracturable in response to a force applied thereto. A second container (14) has a first open end and a second closed end wherein the first container (12) is contained within the second container (14). The dispenser (10) further has an applicator assembly (16) operably positioned in the first open end of the second container (14) and defining a juncture therebetween. A connector member (18) is positioned proximate the juncture wherein the connector member (18) provides a compressive force proximate the juncture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a prefabricated plaything for a pet. More specifically, the present invention provides an amenity that a pet can easily ascend and descend, including: an easily replaceable friction means and a shelter, wherein the pet relieves stress and trains its body while rubbing its body, claws, and teeth against the friction means or biting the same, and rests in the pouch of the shelter in which a darkroom comfortable for resting is maintained.

Abstract: An applicator has an outer body which holds a channeled insert which in turn channels teat disinfectant to the brushes by way of a annular reservoir contained within the periphery of the snap on top, the body of the apparatus is in turn connected to a squeezable bottle that acts as reservoir for the disinfectant supply and when squeezed delivers the disinfectant through the apparatus and onto the brushes. This apparatus and method of use therefor is concerned with the treatment of animal teats, especially although not necessarily exclusively in connection with a milking operation. The treatment involves the application of a disinfectant to the outer skin surfaces and in part to the teat orifice normally at the end of milking, although the invention can also be employed for a treatment as a preliminary step prior to milking.

Abstract: A device (15) for the application of pesticides to animals as they feed and that accommodates wildlife of all sizes, poses no threat of harm to the animals, and maximizes the per capita application of pesticide. Whole kernel corn (or other feed) placed in a feed bin (30) is dispensed into a trough/receptacle (20) through an opening at the bottom of the bin. The trough/receptacle (20) is surrounded by pesticide applicators (40) such that as an animal feeds, some part of its head, neck and/or ears will contact one or more of the applicators. The applicators (40) are flexible and rotatable, so that animals attracted to the apparatus to feed are subjected to the application of a pesticide upon their head, neck, ears, and/or, where applicable, antlers or horns, the flexible and rotatable applicators (40) maximizing pesticide application with minimal stress to both the animal and device.

Abstract: A combined applicator and feeder for livestock includes an applicator for livestock treatment compositions, such as insecticide, and a feeder assembly. An optional liquid applicator assembly includes a cover with a weather-impervious upper layer and a liquid-permeable, absorbent lower layer. An optional liquid reservoir communicates with the cover lower layer for saturating same with liquid, such as pesticide. The feeder assembly provides a support for the cover.
