Abstract: A hinged soap dispensing foot cleaning device with interchangeable and replaceable cartridges comprising inter alia, a hinged fool cleaning chassis assembly, a plurality of interchangeable and replaceable bristle cartridges sized and configured to be removably attached to the chassis assembly, a pump means for pumping a liquid sized and configured to be removably and operatively connected to the chassis assembly, and a liquid filled bladder sized and configured to be housed in the chassis assembly and operatively connected to the pump means and chassis assembly.

Abstract: A device for packaging and applying a liquid composition, the device comprising: a container containing the composition; and a rotary applicator member having at least one dispenser orifice configured to open when the upstream composition is put under sufficient pressure, and to close when the pressure decreases.

Abstract: A device for applying a spreadable composition to a part of the human or animal body, wherein the device comprises a container containing the spreadable composition, an applicator for the spreadable composition and means for urging the spreadable composition out of the container and into contact with the applicator, provided with positioning means connected to the container for positioning the applicator in a position in which composition urged out of the container can be brought into contact with the applicator.

Abstract: A hair treatment fluid application device includes a flexible container for containing a hair treatment fluid, an applicator body having outlet orifices for applying the hair treatment fluid to hair, the flexible container having a passage opening for allowing egress of the hair treatment fluid from the flexible container to the applicator body, a housing for accommodating the flexible container, an air pump for exerting pressure on the flexible container for forcing the hair treatment fluid from the flexible container through the passage opening to the applicator body by deforming the flexible container and a driver for driving the pressure means.

Abstract: A toothbrush with integrated toothpaste dispenser includes a brush section, a handle section and an intermediate neck section. Positioned among the bristles of the brush section is a soft, flexible tube—the external end of which is just below the level of the ends of the bristles. This flexible tube allows for the delivery of the toothpaste to the ends of the bristles in an efficient and practical manner. Within the handle section resides a reservoir of toothpaste. The intermediate neck section is hollow, which forms a communicating channel for the toothpaste to travel from the toothpaste reservoir in the handle to the toothbrush head. Dispensing of the toothpaste can be accomplished by any manner of delivery system. The types of delivery systems possible include, but are not limited to: pump systems, lever systems, screwdiven systems and roller systems.

Abstract: An improved toothbrush with a teeth cleansing substance dispensing system is provided, which consists of a mechanism in cooperation with a compartment in an enlarged handle, which will dispense some teeth cleansing substance through a channel in a neck and head and out through at least one lateral passageway into bristle groups, so that the bristle groups can clean teeth. An apparatus is also in cooperation with the channel in the head and neck for sealing the at least one lateral passageway, when not in use. This stops the flow of the teeth cleansing substance and prevents germs, bacteria, water and other foreign elements from contaminating the teeth cleansing substance left in the channel and the compartment.

Abstract: A pen-like instrument for dispensing correction fluid comprising an elongate housing, a bag of thin flexible polymeric film material containing correction fluid within a cavity in the housing, and an applicator tip assembly comprising a body secured to the housing and the bag and having a through opening through which the correction fluid is dispensed when an applicator member positioned within the through opening separated from a lip on the body against the bias of a spring.

Abstract: A cleaning fluid cartridge, adapted for use with a cleaning system having a handle and a cleaning brush attached thereto, wherein a flexible bag contains the cleaning fluid, and a check valve is sealingly disposed within an opening in the flexible bag.

Abstract: A disposable ink cartridge for use in automatic marking systems. The ink cartridge is composed of a housing which contains a collapsible elastomeric ink reservoir having an open end secured to a plurality of barrier disks. The barrier disks are apertured to permit passage of ink through and between them, from the reservoir. An ink absorbing member of fibrous or porous material is positioned at the other, outlet end of the cartridge housing. The ink cartridge provides a constant flow of ink when the ink absorbing member is contacted by a print head or the like until the supply of ink is depleted from the reservoir. The cartridge design permits depletion of essentially the entire reservoir under the above conditions.

Abstract: A reservoir brush useful for washing automobiles and the like has a vacuum creating pump operable in a chamber in which an expandable bladder resides in order to draw fluid through the head of a brush to which the bladder is attached and into the bladder, wherein the chamber is vented, facilitating collapse of the bladder and run-out of the fluid when the pump is not operating, the pump including a check valve facilitating the pumping action.

Abstract: A disposable ink reservoir cartridge which is attachable to tubular writing pens of the stylographic type embodying a pressure compensating chamber. The reservoir cartridge is characterized by its axial deformability, such that the free volume of the reservoir may be reduced, as ink flows from the reservoir into the pressure compensating chamber during pen use. The reduction in free volume of the reservoir eliminates available air space and, thereby, avoids the deleterious effects of air pressure changes upon the ink or writing fluid, as the reservoir is depleted.
