  • Patent number: 5845659
    Abstract: A lotion applicator, particularly adapted for applying suntan lotion or oil to the body of a user, includes an elongated handle in which a supply of lotion is stored and a cylindrically shaped sponge roller which facilitates an even distribution of lotion over the user's body. Lotion is delivered to the sponge roller by a plurality of freely rotatable applicator balls which are in communication with a reservoir of lotion. The balls are provided with grooves which allow them to more efficiently deliver lotion to the sponge roller, and the rotatable movement of the sponge roller effects the concurrent rotation of the applicator balls so as to maintain a continuous supply of lotion to the roller. The handle of the applicator is provided with a flexible neck portion which allows the handle to be angularly adjusted relative to the roller to thus increase the capability of the user to apply lotion to hard-to-reach areas of his or her body.
