Patent ID: 8517621

Claim:
A package for a composition, the package comprising: (i) a container for holding said composition; (ii) a wiper having an orifice forming a passage between the exterior and interior of said container, the wiper being capable of rotating with respect to said container; (iii) an applicator for removing a portion of said composition from said container and transferring it to a surface, the applicator comprising a handle for gripping on one end thereof and an applicator element for holding a charge of said composition on the other end thereof, wherein said applicator is disposed through said wiper orifice such that a portion of the applicator element is brought into contact with said composition and engages with the wiper; said wiper being configured to scrape excess composition from said applicator element when the applicator element is drawn through said wiper orifice upon removing the applicator from the container; and (iv) a cap configured to fit over said applicator when the applicator is engaged with said wiper, wherein the cap is engaged with the wiper such that the wiper is caused to rotate as said cap is rotated about said container, thereby moving the applicator element in a rotational motion in the interior of said container; wherein a top surface of said wiper comprises a generally annular disk defining an orifice therethrough and having a plurality of grooves and/or projections radially disposed around the circumference of said disk, and wherein said cap includes, on the interior thereof, a plurality of projections and/or grooves complementary to the grooves and/or projections of said wiper, such that the projections and/or grooves of said cap engage the complementary grooves and/or projections of said disk and rotate the wiper as the cap is unscrewed; and wherein rotation of the wiper permits the applicator element to agitate the composition adhered to the inner walls of the container.
