  • Patent number: 6789971
    Abstract: The multi-channel container comprises of a multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator that defines multiple channels within its body that may contain different substances in each channel and that is sealed on both ends. A score is formed at a predetermined distance from each sealed end of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator such that when the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator is bent it will break open at the score discharging the substances in the channels. The multi-channel container is a multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator that is easy to package, convenient, easy to use, easy to transport, sanitary, economical, and self-contained. The multi-channel container is not only a container but can also be used as the applicator. Furthermore, the multi-channel container eliminates the tedious task of measuring the proper proportion of the substances required for application.

  • Patent number: 6779275
    Abstract: A means is disclosed for marking one or more clean line on the absorbent tip of a cotton swab. The means comprises of a tool with a thin groove wherein at predetermined locations at the bottom of the thin groove, there are channels for directing ink into the thin groove from an ink source. A thin absorbent thread is placed into this thin groove to absorb and distribute the ink thereby allowing controlled distribution of the ink which results in the formation of a clean line when the absorbent tip of a cotton swab is rotated over the thin absorbent thread during the manufacturing of the cotton swab resulting in a clean line marked on the absorbent tip.
