Patent ID: 8668401

Claim:
A device for applying a predetermined amount of fluid material to an applicator comprising: an outer housing, the outer housing having a first chamber, a second chamber, an aperture at a second end of the outer housing, and a pump actuating surface between the first chamber and second chamber; an adjustment mechanism associated with the aperture of the outer housing; a fluid insert for housing the fluid material, the fluid insert having a first end and a second end, and the fluid insert capable of being arranged within the outer housing; and a pump attached to the second end of the fluid insert, the applicator being insertable into the second chamber of the outer housing through the opening in the outer housing, wherein movement of the fluid insert relative to the outer housing causes the pump to abut the pump actuating surface of the outer housing and to discharge a predetermined amount of fluid material into the second chamber, and wherein the adjustment mechanism regulates the amount of fluid on the applicator by adjusting a relative size of the aperture so as to interfere with the applicator upon removal of the applicator from the second chamber.
