<p>An applicator is provided for dispensing material. The applicator includes a hollow member (110) having first (111) and second ends (112), a material disposed within the hollow member, a knob (130) rotatably attached to the first end of the hollow member, and a carriage structure (150) which threadably engages a threaded shaft portion (138) of the knob and carries the material. When the knob is rotated, the carriage structure linearly advances or retracts the material relative to the second end of the hollow member. The applicator also includes a cap (160) which is removably attachable to both the second end of the hollow member and to the knob. In one embodiment of the applicator, the cap includes a wide base portion. In another embodiment of the applicator, the knob includes a wide base portion. In either embodiment, the wide base portion enables the hollow member to be placed in a substantially vertical position upon an external object in a stable manner.</p> |
