Abstract

An applicator with two liquids comprising a hollow elongated tubular handle with a sealed end and an open end with an opening mechanism provided near the sealed end and an applicator tip affixed to one or both ends of the hollow elongated tubular handle. A first liquid is enclosed inside the hollow elongated tubular handle separated from the open end by a viscous substance and a second liquid is absorbed in the applicator tip. When air is allowed to enter near the sealed end through the opening mechanism, the first liquid in the hollow elongated tubular handle will flow through the viscous substance and commingle with the second liquid in the applicator tip to be applied.

Claims

1. An applicator with two liquids comprising a hollow elongated tubular handle with a sealed end and an open end with an opening means positioned near the sealed end and an applicator tip affixed to said open end of the hollow elongated tubular handle with a first liquid disposed within the hollow elongated tubular handle separated from the open end by a viscous substance and a second liquid absorbed into said applicator tip wherein upon opening of the hollow elongated tubular handle through the opening means, the first liquid will flow through the viscous substance and into the said absorbent tip for application with the second liquid.

2. An applicator with two liquids as in claim 1, wherein a second applicator tip is affixed to said sealed end of the hollow elongated tubular handle.

3. An applicator with two liquids as in claim 1, wherein the applicator tip is made of an absorbent material.

4. An applicator with two liquids as in claim 3, wherein said opening means is a score line.

5. An applicator with two liquids as in claim 3, wherein said viscous substance is silicone.

6. An applicator with two liquids as in claim 1, wherein said opening means is a score line.

7. An applicator with two liquids as in claim 6, wherein said viscous substance is silicone.

8. An applicator with two liquids as in claim 1, wherein said viscous substance is silicone.

9. An applicator with two liquids as in claim 1, wherein said applicator tip is saturated with said second liquid.

10. An applicator with two liquids as in claim 1, wherein said applicator tip is only partially saturated with said second liquid.

11. An applicator with two liquids comprising a hollow elongated tubular handle with a sealed end and an open end with a frangible section positioned near the sealed end and an absorbent applicator tip affixed to said open end of the hollow elongated tubular handle with a first liquid disposed within the hollow elongated tubular handle separated from the open end by silicone and a second liquid absorbed into said applicator tip wherein upon opening of the hollow elongated tubular handle through the frangible section, the first liquid will flow through the silicone and into the said absorbent tip for application with the second liquid.

12. An applicator with two liquids as in claim 11, wherein a second applicator tip is affixed to said sealed end of the hollow elongated tubular handle.

13. An applicator with two liquids as in claim 11, wherein said applicator tip is saturated with said second liquid.

14. An applicator with two liquids as in claim 11, wherein said applicator tip is only partially saturated with said second liquid.
