Applicator devices and methods for dispensing solid and liquid materials therefrom are disclosed. The applicator devices provide for application of a wide variety of liquid and solid materials from a hand-held device in combination with a buffing element. The devices generally include a top portion that forms a housing and a bottom portion that defines a buffing element. The top portion incudes an interior side that defines an inner cavity configured to contain the liquid or solid material and an exterior side having at least a portion configured to be grasped by a user's hand. Attachment between the housing and the buffing element may be releasable so that various interchangeable buffing elements may be used in combination with the liquid or solid material contained in the housing of the device.

A multi-functional hand-held apparatus comprising a housing and a brush to be used jointly for bathing a person, wherein the housing comprising a chamber or a container capable of holding and squirting water or a fluid through tubes or one or more pores toward a person's hair with a directional orientation toward a back of a person's head and away from a person's face. The multi-functional hand-held apparatus comprising a series of combs or the one or more bristles for rinsing hair and pulling water or the fluid and shampoo or bubbles through the person's hair. Further provided are methods for squirting fluid, such as water, with a directional orientation onto a person's head and removing soap, foam, bubbles or excess water with a brush including one or more bristles that may be curved to conform with a person's head.

A capsule integrated with a nail polish applying element for usage by a nail polish application apparatus comprising a capsule compartment and a pressure applying element, the capsule comprising a container defining a reservoir containing nail polish fluid, the container comprising an upper face with an opening sealed with a sliding gasket and a bottom face, wherein a volume of the reservoir is reduced and an internal pressure is built in the reservoir when pressure application slides the sliding gasket towards the bottom face, and a container housing comprising a body portion shaped to receive and accommodate the container, one or more conveying tunnels having a proximal end mechanically fixated to a bottom side of the body portion and a nail polish applying element mounted to receive the nail polish fluid from a distal end of the conveying tunnel(s) for applying the nail polish fluid on a nail surface.

An apparatus for applying a two-component liquid composition to a surface has a housing having an open end, an inner surface and an outer surface, an applicator retained in the housing and projecting through the open end, two containers removably mounted to the inner surface of the housing, each container having a dispensing nozzle extending through an aperture in the housing and arranged adjacent the applicator. There is a cutting device arranged on the housing adjacent the nozzles, the cutting device having at least one blade, wherein pressing the cutting device causes the blades to pierce the nozzles and allow contents of the containers to exit the containers and flow to the applicator.

An oral care implement for dispensing an oral care agent includes a housing, reservoir therein containing an oral care fluid, and an electrical circuit comprising first and second electrodes connected to an onboard power source. Each electrode is in contact with the oral care fluid in the housing. An actuator, operably coupled to the power source, is configured to both selectively energize the circuit and activate dispensing of the oral care fluid. An electrical charge is applied to the oral care fluid by activating the actuator when dispensing the oral care fluid. When the fluid comprises a peroxide based tooth whitening agent, the dispensed fluid pH is increased by the electrical charge which improves the efficacy of the whitener. In one embodiment, the implement is a modular system including a powered base unit and one or more interchangeable cartridges each having a reservoir containing an oral care fluid.

A toilet brush (10) comprising a shaft (12) having a handle (14) at a first end (18) and a brush head (16) at a second end (19). A cavity (22) is provided within the handle (14) for receiving a tablet sheet (26). Tablets (28) may be dispensed by pushing on pockets (30) in the tablet sheet (26) through apertures (24) in the handle (14). The shaft (12) includes a bore (20) extending from the handle (14) to the brush head (16) such that, when dispensed from the sheet (26), the tablets (28) can fall through the bore (20) such that the tablets may dissolve.
