Abstract:
1. A dispensing applicator comprising: (a) a mounting block having a base piece and a stem piece extending from a first side of said base piece, said base piece and said stem piece each in communication with the other via an interior through course therein, (b) a fluid-absorbent member carried at another side of said base piece and having communication with an end of said interior through course; (c) an elongated fluid container, said container having a first closed end, a frangible region remote from said first end, and a substantially rigid tongue element extending longitudinally from said frangible region and defining a container second end receivable in said stem piece; and (d) a fracture anvil receivable in said stem piece, said fracture anvil embodying fluid flow through-passage means, a relative movement between said fracture anvil and said container while maintaining engaging contact of said tongue element with said fracture anvil being effective to fracture said frangible region without separation thereby initiating fluid release from said container; and wherein said fracture anvil further comprises a cruciform passage passing therethrough in which said rigid tongue element locates with the container second end received in said stem piece, fracture of said frangible region being effected with relative rotatable movement between said tongue and said fracture anvil.
