Abstract: A container is provided for storing and dispensing materials such as liquids or powders, having a first compartment having a first end and side walls, and a second compartment disposed within the first end of the first compartment such that a gap exists between an outer wall of the second compartment and the side wall portion of the first compartment, with the gap being wide enough for material to pass therethrough. The container can be squeezed, inverted or shaken to force an amount of material from the first compartment and into the second compartment through the gap. The second compartment may be friction fit or snap fit within the first end of the first compartment, while retaining the gap between the outer wall of the second compartment and the side wall portion of the first compartment.

Abstract: A fingernail device is provided comprising a container having first and second compartments. A liquid metering valve divides the two compartments. A liquid absorbing sponge having a finger receiving hole is disposed in the first, upper compartment. Nail polish remover is disposed in the second, lower compartment. The second compartment has squeezable side walls whereby, upon squeezing, an amount of liquid is supplied to the first compartment to fill the liquid absorbing sponge with nail polish remover.

Abstract: A device for use in treating fingernails with a liquid, such as a nail polish remover. The device comprises a flat-bottomed, cylindrical container having an open top normally closed by a cover. A cylindrical sponge is press-fitted into the container to be frictionally held in place. A finger hole is provided in the sponge. Treatment liquid is poured into the container to be absorbed by the sponge to a level where it can act on the end of a finger inserted into the hole. The finger fits snugly in the hole and is rotated or oscillated therein to assist the treatment.
