Abstract: Fluid product dispenser having a reservoir, a pump having an actuating stem, a cup mounted on the actuating stem for accommodating the product output by the pump, and a removable member engaged with the cup and having an applicator held in the cup to take up the product, the applicator being deformable and constrained in the cup by a rotational locking mechanism having a plurality of fixed flanges solidly attached to the reservoir and a plurality of fins integral with the removable member. The cup and the removable member are provided with a rotational connection mechanism, such that the removable member drives the cup in rotation on the actuating stem, as soon as the removable member is engaged with the cup.

Abstract: A cosmetic container device includes an exterior body and an inner capsule for storing a cosmetic product. The inner capsule may be received in the exterior body. An outer cap removably coupled to a first end of the exterior body may include an application device for removing and applying the cosmetic product stored within the inner capsule. The cosmetic container device may further include an end cap removably coupled to a second end of the exterior body. The cosmetic container device may further include one or more fixation devices for removably securing the inner capsule to the end cap. Removal of the end cap from the exterior body may allow the inner capsule to be removed from the exterior body, so that the cosmetic container device can be refilled by replacing the inner capsule.

Abstract: A spreading device comprises a container comprising a dispensing end and an exterior surface, and at least one gripping or handling surface extending from the container for gripping or handling the spreading device, squeezing or applying pressure against the exterior surface of the flexible container, and causing the dispensing of a spreadable substance out of the dispensing end of the container.

Abstract: A decorating pen particularly useful for decorating cakes, pastries and other food items provides a reservoir containing a decorating material, a nozzle attached to the reservoir, a housing which holds the reservoir and a compression member pivotally attached to the housing member. A user holds the decorating pen in a fashion similar to a standard writing pen or pencil and squeezes the housing and compression member together to extrude the decorating material from the reservoir through the nozzle to write, draw, or color with the decorating pen.

Abstract: A hand-held dispenser handle for use with tubular containers, especially unit dose or single use containers, of various liquids or viscous fluids, which provides enhanced flow and locus control.

Abstract: A plaque disclosing agent dispensing toothbrush is disclosed. The plaque disclosing agent disposing toothbrush includes: (a) a handle, the handle including a head portion and a grasping portion, an upper surface and a lower surface, and a hollow interior defining a reservoir, the reservoir being designed and constructed to contain dental plaque disclosing agent; (b) a plurality of bristles positioned on and attached to the upper surface of the head portion of the handle; (c) a conduit in communication with the reservoir and extending into the head portion, the conduit being connected to and terminating at an outlet aperture in the head portion; and (d) a dispensing mechanism operationally connected to the conduit and adapted to control flow through the conduit.

Abstract: A paint pouch assembly includes a pair of facing sidewalls sealed along their periphery. A fitting has a fluid passage that terminates in an inlet disposed within a cavity of the pouch and the inlet faces outwardly toward one of the sidewalls. By depressing the sidewall over the opening, fluid can be regulated through the fitting. The collapsible pouch may be used in a number of different applications. It may be incorporated into a dispensing apparatus that uses a hinged presser member to urge paint through the fitting and out through a pivoting head received on the opposite end. Removable attachments can be secured to the head to provide for a fine marker, foam brush, etc. Alternatively, the collapsible pouch can be used with a well structure that is secured to an artist's palette.

Abstract: A toothbrush comprises a grip portion and a brush base portion having bristles implanted thereon. The bristles each have a spherical tip. The grip portion has a storage chamber for a fluid material. A communicating passage through which the fluid material may be fed extends from the storage chamber to the bristle-implanted portion so that the fluid material can be fed through the communicating passage. A polishing material may be contained in the tips of the bristles. A medicinal material for oral health or a gingiva-massaging medicine may be contained in the storage chamber.

Abstract: A disposable toothbrush comprises a toothbrush body having bristles, and a toothbrush back containing a dose of toothpaste. The toothpaste is isolated from the bristles by a protective film. A safety cap retains the toothbrush back separate from the toothbrugh body. Removal of the cap allows the back to approach the body, which causes tearing of the protective film and distribution of the toothpaste onto the bristles.

Abstract: A cleaning system (60) includes an elongate handle (61) having a surface cleaning means (65) disposed at one end of the handle and a cleaning fluid cartridge means (64) disposed at the other end of the handle. The cleaning system further includes a means for pumping (66) the cleaning fluid from the fluid cartridge means to the surface cleaning means, and the pump means (66) is associated with the cleaning fluid cartridge means.

Abstract: A pen shaped device includes a brush-type applicating tip for dispensing and applying liquid that is stored in an integral fountain reservoir bag. The brush is permanently mounted outside the reservoir, receiving liquid through a hollow tube or other narrow passage. A check valve is provided within the device to prevent leakage during storage but the valve allows liquid to pass from the reservoir to the brush under the impetus of semi-automatic or manual finger-operable feed control. The brush is kept moist during storage by being capped in an air-tight enclosure which receives vapor of the liquid through a vapor-permeable membrane communicating with the reservoir.
