LIQUID APPLICATOR WITH DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED WINGS

摘要

A liquid applicator (10) for applying a desired liquid to a surface includes an elongated closed ampule (14) formed of a frangible material containing the desired liquid; a flexible elongate hollow body (12) having axially opposed open and closed ends (18, 20) and presenting a central longitudinal axis, the body (12) defining an internal chamber (22) which is adapted to receive the ampule (14); and a porous element (16) sealed to the body (12) and closing off the open end (18) thereof so that liquid flows through the element (16) when the ampule (14) is fractured. The body (12) includes a pair of diametrically opposed wings projecting therefrom which form gripping members (26, 28) that are spaced from the body (12) and supported for pivoting movement relative thereto.
