Patent ID: 8556529

Claim:
An applicator comprising: an applicator body; an applicator pad attached at a front part of the applicator body; a container of liquid received in a receiving structure of the applicator body, the applicator body defining a flow path for liquid to flow from the container to the applicator pad, the container having a closure portion which is openable to allow liquid to flow from the container into the flow path, the applicator body including an opening member which interacts with the front of the container when the container is moved to an opening position relative to the applicator body to open the openable closure portion; and wherein the container defines a first chamber and a second chamber with a liquid-impermeable barrier between them, the first chamber having the openable closure portion at its front end and the barrier at its rear end, and wherein the container includes one or more longitudinal pusher elements extending relatively movably between the ends of the front chamber, whereby operating movement of the opening member acting at the front end to open the openable closure portion is transmitted to the rear end by a follower action of said one or more longitudinal pusher elements to open the barrier.
