Abstract

A liquid applicator device that is particularly designed for the application of sun tan lotion and the like over one'"'"'s body, wherein the applicator device consists of an elongated handle having a head or paddle member located at one end of the handle so as to be received in an applicator pad. The applicator pad includes an internal cavity adapted to receive the head member of the handle in a removably secure manner whereby the applicator pad is prevented from being removed from the handle inadvertently while applying lotion to one'"'"'s body, but yet can be removed manually when required for cleaning or when replacing of the pad, as required.

Claims

1. A device for applying suntan lotion and like liquids to one'"'"'s body wherein the device comprises:

an elongated handle having a head member formed on the proximate end thereof;

a sponge-like applicator pad having an interior cavity with an open-end mouth portion whereby said head member of said handle is allowed to pass therethrough so as to be positioned in said interior cavity;

means for removably securing said applicator pad to said head member located within said mouth portion of said applicator, wherein said securing means comprises;

a first securing member attached to one side of said mouth, wherein said first securing member is formed having a multiplicity of looped members; and

a second securing member attached to the other side of said mouth, wherein said second securing member is formed having a multiplicity of hook members for locking engagement with said looped members of said fiist securing member, whereby said head of said handle is prevented from passing through said mouth, and wherein said head member is provided with oppositely positioned shoulder members which extend longitudinally outward from the sides of said handle, whereby said shoulder members engage said securing members to prevent inadvertent separation of said applicator pad from said head member.

2. A device as recited in claim 1, wherein said applicator pad is formed having an elongated tapered upper leading edge.

3. A device as recited in claim 2, wherein said interior cavity is formed having a substantially square configuration.

4. A device as recited in claim 3, wherein said applicator pad is provided with a substantially square configuration.

5. A device as recited in claim 3, wherein said securing means comprises a pair of oppositely positioned arm members which help to define said mouth of said interior cavity.

6. A device as recited in claim 5, wherein said head member of said handle is formed having a triangular configuration having an apex and a base, wherein said base defines shoulder members positioned for engagement with respective arm members.

7. A device as recited in claim 6, wherein the width of said base of said head member is greater than the width of said mouth of said applicator pad.
