A dispenser-applicator assembly mounted on an aerosol container dispenses and applies a stain to a work surface. The assembly has two integral parts: a dispenser and a porous applicator. The dispenser is molded as one piece of polypropylene and includes a cap-shaped body which is truncated by a support panel. An actuator panel is hinged to the rear side of the support panel, by means of a flexible dispensing tube which has a horizontal portion and a vertical end portion aligned with a vertical valve stem of the aerosol container. The dispensing tube has a passageway extending to a dispensing opening through the support panel. When the activator panel is depressed, the vertical end of the dispensing tube is lowered to engage the valve stem to open the valve and dispense stain through the passageway and the dispensing opening. The porous applicator is adhesively mounted on the support panel. To avoid oversaturation and dripping from the outer edges of the porous applicator, a tapered liquid reservoir recess is provided on the front face of the support panel adjacent the central portion of the applicator. The recess is closed by a ledge. If the applicator becomes too saturated, auxiliary recesses on the opposite side of the ledge collect the excess liquid. The outer edges of the applicator extend beyond the edges of the support panel enabling the application of stain to corner and edge areas of the work. Slits extend through the applicator to enhance liquid transfer to the work surface. |
