Claim 1
Independent Claim
279 words
An applicator for disposing liquid upon remote portions of the human body, comprising: (a) a deformable elongate tubular member having a proximate end and a distal end, the distal end comprising a hollow, ellipsoidal structure, said elongate tubular member having therewithin an elongate supply cavity extending the entire length thereof and terminating in an orifice at said ellipsoidal distal end of the tubular member, the proximate end of said tubular member comprising the point of entry for the addition of liquid to the applicator; (b) an end cap detachably mountable to said proximate end of said tubular member; (c) a hollow deformable dispensing head having, in communication therewith, socket means for accomplishing a press-fittable rotational connection with said ellipsoidal structure of said elongate tubular member, said socket means including at least one orifice for the receipt of liquid from said ellipsoidal structure, said dispensing head including a reservoir for the receipt of liquid through said orifices of said socket means, said dispensing head also comprising a substantially flat application surface demountably disposed upon the side of said dispensing head opposite to said socket means, said application surface having therein a plurality of orifices; and (d) a compressible porous pad detachably attached about the entire dispensing head including about the flat application surface, whereby liquid may be effectively advanced through the said elongate tubular member, through said internal reservoir thereof, through the orifice at the distal end thereof, into and through the orifice of said socket means, into the dispensing head and, therefrom, into and through said flat application surface and, therefrom, into said compressible porous pad, thereby effectuating a uniform deposition of liquid upon the body of the user.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

An applicator for disposing liquid upon remote portions of the human body, comprising: (a) a deformable elongate tubular member having a proximate end and a distal end, the distal end comprising a hollow, ellipsoidal structure, said elongate tubular member having therewithin an elongate supply cavity extending the entire length thereof and terminating in an orifice at said ellipsoidal distal end of the tubular member, the proximate end of said tubular member comprising the point of entry for the addition of liquid to the applicator; (b) an end cap detachably mountable to said proximate end of said tubular member; (c) a hollow deformable dispensing head having, in communication therewith, socket means for accomplishing a press-fittable rotational connection with said ellipsoidal structure of said elongate tubular member, said socket means including at least one orifice for the receipt of liquid from said ellipsoidal structure, said dispensing head including a reservoir for the receipt of liquid through said orifices of said socket means, said dispensing head also comprising a substantially flat application surface demountably disposed upon the side of said dispensing head opposite to said socket means, said application surface having therein a plurality of orifices; and (d) a compressible porous pad detachably attached about the entire dispensing head including about the flat application surface, whereby liquid may be effectively advanced through the said elongate tubular member, through said internal reservoir thereof, through the orifice at the distal end thereof, into and through the orifice of said socket means, into the dispensing head and, therefrom, into and through said flat application surface and, therefrom, into said compressible porous pad, thereby effectuating a uniform deposition of liquid upon the body of the user.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The applicator as recited in claim 1 in which said ellipsoidal distal end comprises a spherical structure.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The applicator as recited in claim 1 in which said elongate tubular member further comprises a hand grip at the proximate end thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
The applicator as recited in claim 1 in which said elongate tubular member includes a bend near the distal end thereof, whereby a preferred angle of application of liquid to the body surface is thereby obtained.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The applicator as recited in claim 2 in which said socket means comprises a spherical structure.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
The applicator as recited in claim 2 in which said elongate tubular member includes a bend near the distal end thereof, whereby a preferred angle of application of liquid to the body surface is thereby obtained.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
The applicator as recited in claim 4 in which said socket means comprises a spherical structure.
