Patent ID: 8701591

Claim:
A container apparatus for dispensing a lubricious paste material, comprising: a tubular container including a bottom; a top assembly including a top plate rotatably supported on and covering the tubular container and including a tubular shaft fixed to the top plate and extending to the bottom, the top plate defining at least one paste-access hole and the tubular shaft defining a top opening and at least one passageway from the tubular container to a hollow center of the tubular shaft, wherein the top assembly includes a resilient layer having at least one paste-access hole and a retainer connected to the top plate that permit a partial turn of the top plate without the resilient layer and retainer also moving such that the partial turn of the top plate misaligns the at least one top plate paste-access hole with respect to the at least one resilient layer paste-access hole; a brush applicator positioned in the top opening of the tubular shaft; and a piston plate for motivating paste within the tubular container toward the top plate; the piston plate including an outer surface positioned adjacent an inner surface of the tubular container and including threads operably engaging the tubular shaft so that rotation of the top assembly creates rotational resistance to thus move the piston plate vertically within the tubular container to in turn motivate the lubricious paste material within the tubular container toward the at least one paste-access hole and through the passageway toward the top opening.
