WIPER MEMBER FOR A CONTAINER FOR PACKAGING AND DISPENSING PRODUCTS
First Claim
1. A wiper member for a container for packaging and dispensing products, said wiper member comprising at least a side wall wherein the inner diameter of the sidewall of the wiper has a plurality of flange-like projections that provide a passage for the air to escape when the container is opened to retrieve the product.

Abstract
The present invention generally is a wiper for a container for dispensing and dispensing cosmetic or care products. More particularly, the invention relates to a wiper member that is novel and inventive by way of its construction such that it prevents air from getting pumped/entrapped inside the container during usage. There is provided a wiper member that helps in increasing the life of the product by allowing it to remain in its original fluid state and prevents drying out of the product. Further, the wiper member by virtue of its internal configuration results in efficient wiping of the applicator element and at the same time provides an anti-pumping action by allowing the air to pass through the air vents in it. Also disclosed is a wiper member that is able to regulate the amount of product retained on the applicator when a force is either applied or removed from its central axis.

19. A wiper member for a container for packaging and dispensing products, said wiper member comprising at least a side wall wherein the inner diameter of the sidewall of the wiper has a plurality of flange-like projections that provide a passage for the air to escape when the container is opened to retrieve the product and wherein said flange-like projections cover the entire inner diameter of the wiper member and wherein the flange-like projections are present at varying heights on the inside of the wiper and wherein the plurality of flange-like projections occupy a relative proportion of the inner diameter of the wiper so as to cover the entire diameter of the wiper and wherein the wiper is made from an elastically deformable material.

20. A wiper member for a container for packaging and dispensing products said wiper member comprising at least a side wall wherein the inner diameter of the wiper has at least one flange-like projection that regulates the amount of product retained on the applicator element and wherein the wiper is made of flexible material and is able to regulate the amount of product retained on the applicator when a force is either applied or removed from the central axis of the wiper member and wherein the flange-like projections cover the inner diameter by being present at different heights, thereby acting both as an anti-pumping agent as well as regulating the retention of volume on the applicator when it is removed from the container.
