Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Generally, the present disclosure relates to the field of bottles and jars. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to apparatuses and devices for facilitating application of a substance.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cosmetic packages typically containing a liquid type substance called “lip gloss, eyeliner, mascara, concealer, foundations, etc. . . . ” reside in vials and have an applicator connected to a round rod that the user rotates to open and close then pulls out to extract the product. Further, the cosmetic packages always use a round rod so that it can rotate freely within a round orifice of the vials. The orifice acts a seal for the package and acts to wipe or clean the rod each time the user opens and removes the applicator. The applicator tip is also typically round in shape or shaped in a way to fit through a small round opening in the orifice.

Existing apparatuses for facilitating application of a substance are deficient with regard to several aspects. For instance, current apparatuses do not provide non-circular applicators for facilitating the application of the substance. Furthermore, current apparatuses do not wipe the substance from the surfaces of the non-circular applicators.

Therefore, there is a need for improved to apparatuses and devices for facilitating application of a substance that may overcome one or more of the above-mentioned problems and/or limitations.
