Patent ID: 8899243

Claim:
A device for packaging and dispensing a substance comprising a gripping member, a receptacle and a wiper; wherein the gripping member comprises a handle, a stem having a cavity, and an applicator element having a bore housing an applicator filament; and wherein the applicator filament has a proximal and a distal end and wherein the distal end of the a applicator filament is connected with a distal end of the applicator element; and wherein the handle comprises a cap and a casing which are arranged by means of a lock and key arrangement such that the axial movement of the cap with respect to the casing is restricted; and wherein the casing houses a movable member, wherein said movable member s connected to the applicator filament; and wherein the proximal end of the stem is connected to the handle while its distal end is connected to the applicator element; and wherein the cap of the handle when rotated exerts force on the applicator filament with respect to the handle for adjusting angular deformation of the applicator element; and wherein the handle has means to help in fastening and unfastening of gripping member with respect to the receptacle; wherein the applicator filament acts as a bias member such that a point located at its distal end tends to move away from any point located on its longitudinal axis towards the proximal end; and wherein the distal end of the applicator filament remains connected to the distal end of the applicator element when the applicator element is in a deformed and undeformed state.
