Patent ID: 7712991

Claim:
An applicator for fluid substances comprising: an elongated container which defines an internal lateral surface and an outer lateral surface, a transverse breakable partition within said container which divides said container into a first chamber for containing a fluid substance and a second chamber which is axially spaced from the first chamber and is provided with an opening having internal walls, an elongated piercing element which is associated with said opening substantially hermetically with respect to said substance and so that said piercing element can slide axially between a first configuration in which the piercing element does not interfere with said partition, and a second configuration in which the piercing element interferes with said partition in order to break the partition; said piercing element defining an axial passageway therethrough; a porous pad which is associated with an end of said piercing element remote from said container; a cap which covers said pad and is one piece with said piercing element and detachable from said piercing element, an annular portion of reduced thickness separating said cap and said piercing element to provide a tearable, tamper-resistant sealing means between said cap and said piercing element, and a wing which extends laterally from said cap for connection to a wing of an adjacent applicator, and includes an end which is connected to said piercing element along a breakable bridge portion.
