Publication number: 20080282487Abstract: A disposable, dispensable oral hygiene applicator attachable to the ball of the user's fingertip whose finger then functions as a tactile-sensitive, articulated handle by which the applicator may be inserted in the oral cavity and applied omnidirectionally to the teeth, the interproximal areas and the gingival tissues, to clean the teeth and massage the gums. The applicator includes a circular flexible base dimensioned to cover the round ball of the fingertip, the underside of the base having a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive. Projecting upwardly therefrom is an array of soft, flexible, cut, end-rounded bristles, arranged individually or as tufts, that form a miniature circular brush, its crowned face forming a significantly improved surface for better interproximal access, and a charge of dentifrice is adhered to the bristles. The applicator to be used is peeled and lifted from the aluminum foil backing of the supply package.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2008Publication date: November 20, 2008Inventor: V.

Patent number: 7069073Abstract: An electrokinetic delivery or diagnostic device for personal use and self-administration of a medicament to a treatment site is provided. The device includes a housing containing a power supply, a first active electrode and a ground tactile electrode. An applicator includes a pad for containing medicament for overlying the first electrode of the device. The medicament may be applied by the user to the pad, contained within the pad or contained in rupturable capsules within the pad, together with a hydrogel if necessary for imparting electrical conductivity whereby, upon application of the applicator to the treatment site, the medicament is electrokinetically transported into the treatment site.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2004Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: BioPhoretic Therapeutic Systems, LLCInventors: Julian L. Henley, Kuo Wei Chang, Joseph Potter, Dennis I. Goldberg, Christopher H. Porter, V. Lorenzo Porcelli

Patent number: 5911319Abstract: A blister package for storing an array of oral hygiene applicators, each formed from a circular base having bristles anchored thereon which are impregnated with a dentifrice. The underside of the base is coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive whereby when the applicator is adhered to a fingertip of a user, it then functions as a toothbrush. The package includes a card of synthetic plastic film material molded to define an array of blisters. Sealed to the card is a backing sheet having an array of applicators releasably adhered thereto, each applicator being nested in a respective blister in the card. The package is divided by lines of perforation into separable cells, each enclosing an applicator. In use, a cell is separated from the package, its backing sheet is peeled off to expose the applicator, and the applicator is then detached from the sheet and applied to a finger tip of the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1998Date of Patent: June 15, 1999Assignee: John J. StoltzfusInventors: V. Lorenzo Porcelli, John Stoltzfus

Patent number: 5794774Abstract: A disposable oral hygiene applicator attachable to the ball of a user's fingertip whose finger then functions as an articulated handle by which the applicator may be inserted in the oral cavity and applied omnidirectionally to the teeth and gingival tissues to sweep and clean the teeth and to massage the gums. The applicator includes a circular flexible base dimensioned to cover mainly the round ball of the fingertip, the underside of the base having a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive thereon. Anchored on the base and projecting upwardly therefrom is a dense array of multi-strand filamentary loops that form the bristles of a miniature brush, a charge of viscous dentifrice being entrapped in the loops. In one preferred embodiment of the applicator, adhering to the layer on the underside of the base is a removable carrier disc whose diameter exceeds that of the base to define a peripheral flange to facilitate removal of the disc so that the applicator may then be adhered to the fingertip.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1997Date of Patent: August 18, 1998Inventor: V. Lorenzo Porcelli

Patent number: 4094404Abstract: The invention is directed to a combined display and shipping package which has two major components, an outer sleeve and an inner shell arranged for telescoping engagement with one another. The outer sleeve covers and provides protection for the inner shell during shipment and is slid back over the inner shell in a telescoping manner to permit visual display of an item to be displayed without the full removal of the protective outer sleeve which may or may not have advertising or display information on it. The inner shell has an inclined base so that when the package is used for display purposes, it maintains an inclined position to project the display item into full view of a prospective customer. To prevent the display package from tipping, the item displayed therein is secured in the package in a manner so that the combined centers of gravity for the item displayed and the display package is located to prevent tipping of the package without the need of additional support.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1977Date of Patent: June 13, 1978Assignee: GAF CorporationInventors: Paul D.
