Abstract: The applicator set (101) includes a bottle (102), provided with a neck (103) and intended to contain a product (P), a cap (104) for closing the bottle, and an applicator (106) disposed at the end of a rod (107) attached to the cap (104). The bottle (102) includes means (C) for compacting the product around the applicator (106), upon which means the user can act, and elastic means (R) for returning the compacting means (C) to the position of repose. The applicator (106) is made of a porous material, and the air present in the bottle (102), which is compressed at the time of compacting, can escape via the cap (104), passing through the hollow rod of the applicator (107), after having passed through the porous material of the applicator (106).

The extrusion mechanism includes components for enabling a user to operate the extrusion mechanism by rotating the applicator member relative to the cover member while the applicator tip is within the open end.

Abstract: A disposable toothbrush having a quantity of self-contained dentrifice, mouthwash, and dental floss. The dentrifice is contained in a pliable receptacle, which communicates with a hollow passage located in the bristle end of the toothbrush, the hollow passage including a plurality of orifices terminating at the bed of the bristles, whereby upon squeezing the pliable receptacle, the dentrifice is distributed through the hollow passage and into the bed of the toothbrushing bristles. The self-contained mouthwash container is affixed adjacent the handle portion of the apparatus, whereby upon compressing the pliable container, the mouthwash can be utilized. When removed from the main body of the toothbrush the mouthwash may be used and discarded after same.

Abstract: The container is provided with an outlet opening associated with a dispensing head (5) including an ejection duct (21-26) disposed in the axis of the outlet opening of the container, and a nozzle (28) forming an angle with the ejection duct, an applicator (8) being disposed at the free end of the nozzle (28). This applicator (8) includes on the one hand a cylindrical sleeve (31) cooperating with the free end of the nozzle (28) and on the other hand a base plate (29) joined by the cylindrical sleeve and which includes bristles (30) on its face opposite the cylindrical sleeve (31). The projection (7), a movable part of the dispensing head, includes on its top wall a device (17) for retaining the cylindrical sleeve (31) in a position in which its axis is substantially parallel to that of the outlet opening, so that a guard cap can be put into place on the dispensing zone of the container (1).

Abstract: A cosmetic applicator of the type comprising a longitudinally elongated cap that contains a cosmetic cake, a longitudinally elongated barrel holder with a first end supporting a resilient applicator is improved by a longitudinally elongated godet that encloses the cosmetic cake and presents only a substantially transverse exposed surface for contact with said applicator, and an applicator tip that is resilient and expands transversely into a substantial wiping contact with the godet interior wall upon compression against the exposed cake surface. The invention further is characterized by a mounting to rotatably and removably mount the cap upon the barrel at a substantially fixed longitudinal mounting position, and resiliently to maintain a substantially constant pressure during contact between the applicator and the exposed cosmetic surface as the barrel and cap longitudinally are moved into and out of the fixed mounting position.

Abstract: A container assembly structured to store and selectively dispense and/or apply liquid material contents from a storage chamber in a manner which eliminates waste by enabling substantially the entire quantity of liquid material product to be removed from the storage chamber of the container regardless of viscosity of the product. The container incorporates resilient material side walls which may be disposed into a constricted position thereby forcing product within the storage chamber into contact with an applicator assembly for selective and/or precise dispensing and application of the product.

Abstract: A fluid applicator system includes a fluid containing jar, an applicator sponge attached to a lid, and a perforated plate for maintaining the sponge in a compressed state against the closed lid to regulate the amount of fluid which it can absorb. The sponge is compressed by inserting it into the jar so that it abuts the perforated plate while the lid simultaneously seals the jar. The extent of compression of the sponge, and thereby the amount of fluid which it can absorb, is regulated by adjusting the level of the perforated plate within the jar prior to exposing the fluid to the sponge.

Pre-packaged dentifrice packages are received in the compartments and have peel-off covers secured to the packages and severable from each other and the container to permit individual removal of packages from the handle while, at the same time, preserving the integrity of the remaining packages and the sealing of the compartments in which the packages are received.

Abstract: A plant care kit includes a plurality of elements for cleaning and waxing the leaves of household plants. The leaf cleaner includes a support member for gently supporting the leaf of a plant to be cleaned. A soft, porous cleaning element, such as a sponge or the like, is secured to one surface of the support member for engaging the bottom side of a plant leaf. A handle is mounted on the support member, opposite the cleaning member to facilitate grasping by the user and to allow the user of the device to hold the support member in one hand. The leaf cleaning device further includes a second similar cleaning member such as a sponge or the like that may be held in the other hand of the user and placed on top of the leaf to be cleaned. The leaf is sandwiched between the first and second cleaning members and drawn along the length of the leaf thereby simultaneously wiping the upper and lower surfaces.

Abstract: A brush caddy made up of four pieces of wire welded together. The longest piece termed a "spine" has a hook at the top from which a paint brush may be hung. Centrally a cross piece is welded to the spine to form a pair of arms ending in claws which grip the rim of a paint can. The spine is tilted away from the can so that the brush is more easily grasped and more easily placed on the hook. A third piece of wire forms a "yoke" which cooperates with the hook and the spine to support the brush in the desired slanting position with the dripping edge over the mouth of the can. The fourth piece of wire is welded across the spine at its base to embrace the can at that end. An elastic member fits over the ends of this fourth piece of wire and around the can, for added stability.
