Abstract:
1. A tweezer type applicator system comprising: a container having reservoir for holding a product to be applied to a body, and a neck with screw threads; a wiper secured in the neck of the container in such a way that the wiper is free to rotate, and wherein the wiper comprises a tapered lower portion and two passageways through the wiper that terminate in two lower orifices leading into the reservoir; a threaded overcap that can be screwed about the neck, comprising a lateral wall that has flexible portions that may be squeezed; a fulcrum housed in, and rigidly joined to the overcap, comprising an axle; two stems, each stem comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein a spring housed in the fulcrum that contacts the proximal ends of the stems, and biases the proximal ends away from each other; wherein: squeezing the flexible portions of the overcap, applies an external force to the proximal ends of the stems which compresses the spring, and forces the applicator heads apart; and when each stem is disposed through one of the passageways, then screwing the overcap about the neck causes the stems to revolve and the wiper to rotate around the longitudinal axis of the neck.
