Abstract:
A pump-activated lotion dispenser and applicator comprising, in combination:a squeeze bulb pump comprising a squeeze bulb for only containing air and having an inlet check valve at a first end and an outlet check valve at a second end, said inlet check valve is dimensioned to admit air into said squeeze bulb pump and said outlet check valve is dimensioned to permit air to exit said squeeze bulb pump while at the same time said outlet check valve is dimensioned to prevent a back flow of air from entering said squeeze bulb pump; a reservoir adapter for only conveying air and having an upstream end and a downstream end and a longitudinal bore therethrough, said upstream end is coupled to said second end of said squeeze bulb pump and dimensioned to receive air from said outlet check valve; a reservoir dimensioned to be filled with a lotion-type substance and having an upstream end and a downstream end, said upstream end of said reservoir is coupled to said downstream end of said reservoir adpater and said upstream end of said reservoir is dimensioned to receive air from said downstream end of said reservoir adapter in order to force said lotion from said upstream end of said reservoir out of said downstream end of said reservoir; an applicator pad attached proximate said downstream end of said reservoir, said applicator pad is dimensioned to secrete lotion to a body area of a person when said squeeze bulb pump is activated initiating an air flow from said first end of said squeeze bulb pump into said second end of said squeeze bulb pump and through said upstream end of said reservoir adapter and into said downstream end of said reservoir adapter and into said reservoir where said lotion-type substance is forced through said downstream end of said reservoir and into said applicator pad.
