Hand applicator of encapsulated liquids
First Claim
1. A hand applicator of an encapsulated liquid, said applicator including a hand-breakable capsule containing a liquid and an absorber of said liquid, wherein manually squeezing said applicator causes rupture of said capsule and release of said liquid with a subsequent absorption of said liquid by said absorber, said applicator including a perforated dissector of said liquid released hereby, wherein said perforated dissector is placed within the applicator and between said capsule and said absorber, wherein said dissector has a plurality of perforations disposed opposite the entire working surface of said absorber, said plurality of perforations allow an even distribution of the released liquid from said capsule over the entire working surface of said absorber, and a drain for draining the released liquid hereby through said plurality of perforations in said perforated dissector, wherein said drain is formed by a plurality of knobs disposed between said perforated dissector and spaced between said plurality of perforations, said capsule lies on said plurality of knobs and not contacting said perforated dissector and not closing off said plurality of perforations, and wherein channels formed around said plurality of knobs allowing the released liquid from said capsule to freely flow to reach substantially all of said plurality of perforations and subsequently the entire working surface of said absorber.

Abstract
A hand applicator of encapsulated liquids, such as cosmetic, hygienic, and pharmaceutical formulations or household chemicals, of different viscosity. When the user squeezes the applicator in her hand, the capsule inside it ruptures, possibly with a clap, and releases a liquid that after being collected by the drain passes through the perforated dissector to get evenly distributed in the absorber and then evenly applied on skin or other surfaces. Inert and impermeable capsules ensure stability of stored liquid formulations. Pressurized capsules are easily tactilely located and crashed. A capsule may be permanently or elastically fixed within the applicator. The applicator may include several capsules that may contain different liquids. A refillable applicator can be refilled with new capsules and used more than once. A transparent impermeable back side the applicator enhances hygiene and creates visibility of the capsule. An impervious glove-applicator for applying hazardous substances is disclosed.
