- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to product applicators, more specifically, to applicators for greasy and/or powdered solids and amorphous substances such as deodorants, antiperspirants, lotions, lubricants, skin care cosmetics, medications, ointments, suntan lotions, and paints.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- The purpose of an applicator is to provide a user with a method for applying a specific and/or limited amount of a substance that is difficult or messy to handle, or that requires special packaging. Deodorants and antiperspirants, creams, lotions, lubricants, and skin care medications are examples of the former and a two-part epoxy is an example of the later. Current applicators are typically made without regard to portability, disposability, and single-use application. These relatively large storage containers/applicators are inconvenient for people needing to travel with the applicator or only requiring a limited amount of the substance on a single occasion. Existing single-use applicators are expensive to manufacture and often contain moving parts. Some currently available single-use packages for these substances work well for portability, but lack a tidy means for substance application.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a portable, disposable, single-use applicator for amorphous substances and the like.
- The single-use applicator of the present invention has a layer of retentive material bonded to one side of a base panel. The retentive material is suffused with an amorphous substance and sealing under a cover. The applicator is intended for use with creams, gels, powders, and other amorphous substances.
- The area of the base panel to which the retentive material is adhered is impervious to the substance. The percentage of the base panel that holds the substance can be any proportion of the overall panel. Preferred materials include synthetic resin films and metal foils. Optionally, the base panel includes a handle that projects out from the base panel. Optionally, the base panel includes textured surfaces and/or imprinted graphics, words, or logos.
- The retentive layer is composed of a porous material that can retain the substance without substantial product loss, but expels the substance when used in its intended manner. The retentive layer material depends on the substance and holds enough for at least one use.
- The method for bonding the retentive material to the base panel depends upon the materials and is accomplished by well-known adhesive techniques.
- After the retentive layer is suffused with the substance, it is sealed with a removable cover. The cover is preferably composed of a foil of metal such as an aluminum alloy, a plastic, or a laminate of metal and plastic. The adhesive is strong enough to maintain a hermetic seal, but weak enough so that the cover can be manually peeled from the base panel.
- Other objects of the present invention will become apparent in light of the following drawings and detailed description of the invention.
- For a fuller understanding of the nature and object of the present invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of one embodiment of the applicator of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is an exploded view of a second embodiment of the applicator of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the applicator ofFIG. 1 taken along the line 3-3; -
FIG. 4 is an exploded view of a third embodiment of the applicator of the present invention; -
FIG. 5 is an exploded view of a fourth embodiment of the applicator of the present invention; and -
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the applicator ofFIG. 5 taken along the line 6-6. - The
single use applicator 10 of the present invention is constructed by bonding a layer ofretentive material 14 to one side of abase panel 12, suffusing theretentive material 14 with anamorphous substance 30, and sealing theretentive material 14 under acover 16 so that thesubstance 30 remains in theretentive material 14 and free from contamination. Alternatively, theamorphous substance 30 is applied directly to one side of thebase panel 12. Theapplicator 10 is intended for use with creams, gels, powders, and other amorphous substances. - The
base panel 12 is a sheet composed of materials that are flexible, semi-rigid, or rigid. The area 26 to which theretentive material 14 is adhered is non-porous, not wettable by water, and is insoluble in water and thesubstance 30. - Typical flexible, impermeable sheets are synthetic resin films. These resin films include polyolefins and polyvinyl copolymers, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutylene, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylchloride-vinylidene chloride and the like. The chlorinated polyvinyl copolymers are highly resistant to degradation caused by exposure to either water- or alcohol-based fluids. The
base panel 12 may also be composed of metal foils such as an aluminum alloy, a plastic, or a laminate of metal and plastic. Abase panel 12 made from these materials is flexible, has strength characteristics sufficient to resist tearing and piercing under normal manufacturing and handling stresses, is nonwettable by water, and can be sterilized and colored. The preferred thickness of thebase panel 12 is from about 0.5 mils to about 80 mils. - Optionally, the
base panel 12 extends beyond the retentive material attachment area 26 to form ahandle 28. Optionally, thehandle 28 and/or thesurface 20 of thebase panel 12 opposite that of theretentive layer 14 may include textured surfaces, grips extending from the surface, and/or imprinted graphics, words, or logos. - The
retentive layer 14 is composed of a porous material, such as gauze cotton, prepared cotton, other organic fibers such as wood fibers, rayon, open-meshed cloth of varying degrees of fineness, woven and non-woven synthetic fibers, and foamed polymers such as polyurethane. These materials maintain their integrity when moistened. Theretentive layer 14 is sufficiently retentive to store and apply a useable amount ofsubstance 30. Theretentive layer 14 is able to contain thesubstance 30 without extensive or substantial product loss (i.e., dripping), but expels thesubstance 30 when the proper pressure is applied or used in its intended manner. - Typically, the thickness of the
retentive layer 14 depends upon the material and surface area of theapplicator 10. Different materials are used appropriately for the application ofvarious substances 30. Theretentive layer 14 holdsenough substance 30 for at least one use/application. The actual amount that theretentive layer 14 holds depends upon thesubstance 30 and the amount necessary to perform its function adequately, and will typically be in 1 to 10 ml range. For example, when thesubstance 30 is a deodorant, theretentive layer 14 will be able to hold 1 to 10 ml of the deodorant. - The method for bonding the
retentive material 14 to thebase panel 12 depends upon the materials of which thebase panel 12 andretentive layer 14 are made, and is accomplished by standard techniques well-known in the art of adhesives. The bond is resistant to degradation caused by exposure to thesubstance 30. To achieve a good bond, it is a common practice to first degrease or rinse theretentive layer surface 18 of thebase panel 12 by an organic solvent such as acetone or methyl ethyl acetone. Degreasing prepares thesurface 18 for bonding. - Because the preferred retentive materials are porous, capable of absorbing liquefied polymers, and allow the evaporation of vapor, most of the standard joining methods using adhesives with or without solvents can be used. A preferred method for joining the
base panel 12 to theretentive layer 14 is to apply a thin coat of a molten polyolefin, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or polybutylene, onto theretentive layer surface 18 by extrusion, apply theretentive layer 14 contiguously to theretentive layer surface 18, and press them together before the coat solidifies. Alternatively, instead of applying a thin coat of polyolefin by extrusion, the standard rolling technique of direct gravure can be used to print the thin coat to selected areas of theretentive layer surface 18. Optionally, theretentive layer 14 is precoated with a polymer. The molten polyolefin absorbed into theretentive layer 14 will anchor to thebase panel 12 and, when cooled, will bind theretentive layer 14 and thebase panel 12 together. - Alternatively, the
retentive layer 14 is joined to thebase panel 12 by applying a solid powder polyolefin to theretentive layer surface 18 of thebase panel 12, placing theretentive layer 14 on top of the powder, and subjecting the two to a high-pressure heat seal. - Alternatively, as shown in
FIG. 2 , thesubstance 30 applied directly to thebase panel 12. Texturing on thebase panel 12 or other supplementary geometries may assist in the fixation of thesubstance 30 to thebase panel 12. Optionally, the substance may be adhered in series of shapes including, but not limited to, rows, dots, letters and numbers, and symbols. - After the
retentive layer 14 is suffused with thesubstance 30, it is sealed into anenclosed space 22 between thebase panel 12 and aremovable cover 16. Thespace 22 is hermetic so that theretentive layer 14 remains moist and uncontaminated by external agents. Thespace 22 remains hermetic for an extended period of time that represents the shelf life of theapplicator 10, which includes the period of time from the installation of thecover 16, through transportation and storage, to use, when thecover 16 is removed. Thecover 16 can be large or small enough to cover the base panel in its entirety or any portion thereof. - The
cover 16 is a planar sheet that is preferably composed of a foil of metal such as an aluminum alloy, a plastic, or a laminate of metal and plastic. Thecover 16 is robust enough to maintain integrity while being subjected to normal stresses throughout transportation, storage, and handling. Thecover 16 is unaffected by water and thesubstance 30 during the shelf life of theapplicator 10. - The adhesive used to adhere the
cover 16 to thebase panel 12 is strong enough to maintain the hermetic seal, but weak enough so that a small amount of tensional stress, such as that caused by manually peeling thecover 16 from thebase panel 12, will cause the adhesive to fracture, allowing thecover 16 to be separated from thebase panel 12. The adhesive is unaffected by water and thesubstance 30 during the shelf life of theapplicator 10. Adhesive materials include urethanes and polyurethanes. - The
embodiment 80 ofFIG. 4 can be used with substances that would stick to the cover during removal. Thesubstance 86 is positioned in acapsule 88 between thebase panel 82 and acapsule cover 84. Theperipheral seam 94 between thebase panel 82 and capsule cover 84 has a weakenedsection 90 adjacent to anapplication region 92 of thebase panel 82. Prior to application, thecapsule 88 is pressed so that thesubstance 84 ruptures the weakenedsection 90 and squeezes onto anapplication region 92. - The embodiment of
FIGS. 5 and 6 can be used when there is more than onesubstance substances base panel 52 and acapsule cover 66. Thecapsule cover 66 is adhered to thebase panel 52 around the edge and at a line between thesubstances capsules substances capsules substances area 76 of the cover/base panel seam and onto the mixingarea 60 under thecover 56. Thesubstances cover 56 andbase panel 52. Alternatively, thesubstances cover 56 by using an optional wand 74 that is removably attached to thebase panel 52. Alternatively, thesubstances cover 56 after it is removed. Optionally, thecover 56 and thecapsule cover 66 are a single sheet. - Optionally, the adhesive may be re-sealable to enable multiple uses of the
applicator 10. Resealable adhesives materials include acrylics. - Optionally, the
cover 16 is vacuum-sealed to alleviate the need for strong adhesives that would prevent easy removal of the cover. - Optionally, there is a
finger tab 24 extending from one edge of thecover 16 that can be grasped between a thumb and finger for ease and convenience in removing thecover 16 from thebase panel 12. - Optionally, the
base panel 12 and thecover 16 are composed of the single sheet that is folded over. - Optionally, the
cover 16 may include textured surfaces and/or imprinted graphics, words, or logos. The printed graphics may include postage. - Optionally, the
applicator 10 is encased in a foil or plastic pouch for increased protection, marketing/product design, and/or ease of transportation. - Optionally, the applicator is tessellated for ease of manufacturing and distribution.
- Thus it has been shown and described an applicator which satisfies the objects set forth above.
- Since certain changes may be made in the present disclosure without departing from the scope of the present invention, it is intended that all matter described in the foregoing specification and shown in the accompanying drawings be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
