Applicator of liquids from openable capsules
A hand applicator of liquids from openable capsules includes (from top to bottom) a semi-rigid membrane ( 1 ), an unfolding impermeable membrane ( 5 ), an openable capsule ( 6 ), a non-collapsible concave dissector ( 8 ), and an absorber ( 9 ) and is welded with a rounded edge seam ( 10 ). The semirigid membrane ( 1 ) comprises a fixed portion ( 11 ), a raisable grip ( 2 ), and a means for raising the grip ( 2 )—a bending segment ( 3 ) or an edge cut-out ( 4 ) of the grip ( 2 ). The grip ( 2 ) and the segment ( 3 ) are congruently cut-through and connected by breakable bridges ( 15 ). The segment ( 3 ) bends down to enable a finger access under the grip ( 2 ) to raise the grip ( 2 ) and break the capsule ( 6 ). The grip ( 2 ) includes stiffeners ( 14 ), a diametrical hinge ( 12 ) with a more pliable central part ( 13 ), and a means ( 21 ) for opening the capsule ( 6 ). The impermeable membrane ( 5 ) unfolds and elongates to allow the finger to break the capsule ( 6 ) and includes a flat edge ( 16 ). The capsule ( 6 ) contains a liquid ( 7 ) and an actuator ( 20 ). The dissector ( 8 ) includes elevations ( 18 ) on the inside forming an unobstructed drainable space ( 17 ) and perforations ( 19 ).
1. A hand applicator of liquids from openable capsules includes from top to bottom an impermeable membrane ( 5 ), an openable capsule ( 6 ) of a liquid ( 7 ), a non-collapsible concave dissector ( 8 ), and an absorber ( 9 ) and an edge seam ( 10 ), characterized in that said impermeable membrane ( 5 ) is unfolding and elongating such that it is folded together in the storage position, except for its flat edge ( 16 ) that is welded into said seam ( 10 ), and unfolds and straightens in the direction of the finger pressure on said capsule ( 6 ) through said impermeable membrane ( 5 ).
2. The applicator of claim 1 wherein said impermeable membrane ( 5 ) is concentrically folded.
3. The applicator of claim 1 wherein said impermeable membrane ( 5 ) is transparent and said capsule ( 6 ) is a plurality of capsules.
4. The applicator of claim 1 wherein said dissector ( 8 ) has elevations ( 18 ) on its inside and perforations ( 19 ) between said elevations ( 18 ) for an unobstructed draining space ( 17 ) for said liquid ( 7 ) and wherein said capsule ( 6 ) includes an actuator ( 20 ) that is greater than the size of said perforations ( 19 ).
5. The applicator of claim 1 including outside said impermeable membrane ( 5 ) a semi-rigid membrane ( 1 ) including a raisable grip ( 2 ) with a hinge ( 12 ) at its base and a fixed portion ( 11 ).
6. The applicator of claim 5 wherein said hinge ( 12 ) has a more pliable central part ( 13 ).
7. The applicator of claim 5 wherein said grip ( 2 ) is cut through said semi-rigid membrane ( 1 ).
8. The applicator of claim 5 wherein the opposite sides of said grip ( 2 ) and said semi-rigid membrane ( 1 ) are connected by one or more breakable bridges ( 15 ).
9. The applicator of claim 5 wherein said grip ( 2 ) has an edge cut-out ( 4 ) for raising said grip ( 2 ).
10. The applicator of claim 5 wherein said semi-rigid membrane ( 1 ) includes a bending segment ( 3 ) opposite said grip ( 2 ) for a finger access under said grip ( 2 ) for bringing the applicator into the working position.
11. The applicator of claim 10 wherein said grip ( 2 ) and said segment ( 3 ) have congruent opposite sides.
12. The applicator of claim 10 wherein the opposite sides of said grip ( 2 ) and said segment ( 3 ) are connected by one or more breakable bridges ( 15 ).
13. The applicator of claim 5 wherein said grip ( 2 ) includes a means ( 21 ) for opening said capsule ( 6 ) upon turning said grip ( 2 ) around said hinge ( 12 ) into the working vertical position, wherein said means ( 21 ) freely extends beyond said hinge ( 12 ) under said fixed portion ( 11 ).
14. The applicator of claim 13 wherein the shape of said means ( 21 ) free extension essentially matches the shallowest profile of said dissector ( 8 ) that said means ( 21 ) crosses upon turning into the vertical position.
15. The applicator of claim 13 wherein said means ( 21 ) free extension is semicircular.
16. The applicator of claim 13 wherein said means ( 21 ) free extension is flat.
