The present apparatus provides a makeup sponge with a coating that resists absorption of makeup and other materials by the sponge. The makeup sponge has the same compressibility and softness of a prior art sponge, while providing the stain resistance and cleanability of a silicon sponge. Because the makeup sponge can be easily cleaned, it can be used with a plurality of makeup products. Because it does not absorb makeup or skin materials, the present apparatus can be used for long periods of time without the need for replacement. The present apparatus has a shape that allows multiple makeup procedures to be undertaken with different portions and surfaces of the apparatus. The coating is non-allergenic and flexes with the sponge so that it does not crack or flake during use. The coating is non-absorbent so that makeup and skin material does not become absorbed or embedded in the surface.

A liquid dispenser for cosmetic liquids having a liquid reservoir and an applicator. An outlet channel connects the reservoir to the applicator, the outlet channel being formed either valveless or with an outlet valve. The liquid dispenser has a pressure generating device which pressurizes liquid in the reservoir for conveyance through the outlet channel to the applicator. The pressure generating device has an air pumping device which feeds and an actuating pressure chamber. The actuating pressure chamber adjoins, and is separated from, the reservoir by a displaceable wall so that an overpressure in the actuating pressure chamber leads to an overpressure in the reservoir. The air pumping device has manual actuator, allowing air to be pumped into the actuating pressure chamber by the actuator, so that the overpressure in the actuating pressure chamber and in the reservoir rises sufficiently to convey liquid from the reservoir to the applicator.

The present invention includes a compact container, having a discharge plate and a distribution plate coupled by the discharge plate having a ring-shaped button member thereunder and the button member having rectangular pressure grooves on opposite sides of the inner circumferential surface, and the distribution plate-being provided under the button member, and the outer circumferential surface of the distribution plate having rectangular pressure protrusions, with arc-shaped tops, positioned so as to correspond to the rectangular pressure grooves of the button member. As such, when the button member is pressed to discharge cosmetics, even if the button member is pressed at an angle, the distribution plate can uniformly press a pump vertically as the rectangular pressure grooves of the button member shaped tops of the rectangular pressure protrusions on opposite sides of the distribution plate.

A chemical solution supply apparatus (1) includes a container (10) and a chemical solution supply implement (20) that can, in a state of being connected to a mouth portion (14), switch over a state where the container (10) is sealed and a state where a chemical solution in a storage portion (12) is allowed to be supplied to the outside of the container (10). The chemical solution supply implement (20) has a base (30) and a supply body (50). The base (30) has a retaining portion (40), a pressing portion (42), and a restricting portion (34) that restricts displacement of the supply body (50) with coming into contact with the supply body (50) when the supply body (50) is pressed against pressing force of the pressing portion (42). The supply body (50) moves away from the retaining portion (40), thereby forming a supply flow passage, and comes into contact with the retaining portion (40), thereby blocking the supply flow passage.

A beauty sponge gripper and stand that is adapted for being held by a user and gripping a beauty sponge for controlled application and blending of makeup that has been applied to the beauty sponge to the user's face without requiring the user to directly hold the sponge and for supporting the beauty sponge above a countertop without contacting other surfaces that would otherwise be soiled by the makeup for temporarily setting the beauty sponge down or for drying the beauty sponge between uses. The gripper stand includes a base portion with a bottom end that reliably rests on a flat surface and a gripper portion extending upward from the top end of the base portion. The gripper arms include sponge contact portions that collectively define a sponge-gripping gap between the top ends of the left and right gripper arms that is wider in the central area than near the front or rear areas of the gripper arms so that the beauty sponge is held without formation of a fold line.

The invention relates to a device and method for self application of substances to a body. The device, and use thereof, functions to facilitate the application of any type of lotion, cream, ointment, oil or medication. The device achieves complete and efficient coverage of all types of substances to the hard to reach areas of the body, including the back, shoulders, legs and feet.

A liquid disinfectant applicator device is described, the device includes: a frame, a pair of axle portions that are movable coupled to the frame at varying angles therebetween, an absorbable roller rotatably mounted on the pair of axle portions, a sealed resilient container, at least one conduit and a perforated plate.

An application container (1) includes a container main body (2); an inner plug member (20); and an impregnation material (30). The inner plug member (20) includes an impregnation material accommodating portion (21), and a valve body accommodating portion (22) which includes a valve seat (22a) on an impregnation material accommodating portion (21) side and a valve body support portion (22b) on a container main body (2) side and in which a valve body (22c) is disposed so as to be movable between the valve seat (22a) and the valve body support portion (22b). A communication groove (50) which forms a gap between the valve body (22c) and the valve body accommodating portion (22) in a state where the valve body (22c) is supported by the valve body support portion (22b) is formed.

The present invention provides: a polyurethane foam having excellent viscoelastic characteristics and/or excellent feeling; a composition for the polyurethane foam; and a method for producing the polyurethane foam. The present invention provides a composition for a polyurethane foam, the composition containing: (A) a polyol having three or more OH groups; (B) a compound having two or more isocyanate groups; and (C) a polyrotaxane obtained as a result of arranging, on both ends of a pseudo-polyrotaxane formed through skewering-like inclusion of a linear molecule through the openings of cyclic molecules, stopper groups so that the cyclic molecules do not dissociate from the pseudo-polyrotaxane.

A liquid applicator is described. The liquid applicator includes an applicating head, a buffer in communication with the outside air, a gas-liquid exchanger, and a reservoir supplying a liquid to the gas-liquid exchanger. The gas-liquid exchanger has a wick, a liquid sealing tube covering on the outer peripheral wall of the wick, and a gas-liquid channel disposed between the wick and the liquid sealing tube; the buffer covers on the outer peripheral wall of the liquid sealing tube, and capillary pressure of the liquid sealing tube is greater than capillary pressure of the buffer by 30% or more. The liquid applicator can effectively control the release of a liquid. It can prevent the liquid from leaking out. It features a simple structure, resulting in smooth application and easy manufacturing.
