Abstract:
1. An application tip for a viscous or pasty composition, the application tip comprising: an elongate body having a length and comprising a proximal end configured in a way such that the proximal end is fastenable onto a device for dispensing said composition and a distal end having a terminal outlet orifice, and an internal duct extending lengthwise of the body between the proximal end and said outlet orifice, said duct being fully opened over its cross-section and having a rectangular cross-section with a transverse width greater than a transverse height over a portion thereof extending up to and terminating at the terminal outlet orifice, said terminal outlet orifice being open and rectangular in cross-section with a transverse width greater than a transverse height that corresponds to the transverse width and height of the duct adjacent the orifice, with at least one wall of the duct extending lengthwise and widthwise in a plane from an area within the duct to the terminal outlet orifice, said at least one wall having parallel and adjacent grooves therein extending lengthwise thereof from an area within the duct to the orifice, wherein the application tip further comprises a spatula placed at the distal end of the body of the tip, said spatula extending beyond the outlet orifice, and wherein the application tip includes an applicator surface facing toward a surface onto which the composition is to be deposited, the applicator surface being formed from a portion of the distal end of the body of the tip and a surface of the spatula, the applicator surface having a rounded profile including a concave portion facing toward the surface onto which the composition is to be deposited, the concave portion extending across the terminal outlet orifice, from a portion of the spatula to a distal end of a wall of the duct opposite on the terminal outlet orifice from the spatula.
