Applicants have surpxisingly de~eloped a relat:ively simple sponge applicator system which is suitable for continuously applying self-polishing emulsionsO According to thelr inventionp a bottle has a sponge appl.icator head whiçh comprises a casing to be inserted into the neck of the bo-ttle and an open-pore sponge partially enclosed and compressed by ~he casing ~o form a projecting, substantially mushroom-shaped or sem~. spherical cap .of uncompressed sponge just above the outer surface of the casingO
The outer surface of the casing has a substantially axially ex-~ending circular groove with one or more, preferably from 3 to 5, openings or perforations.passing axially thxough the casing to its inner surface. This groove is positionea below the radially projecting edge of the cap of uncompressed sponge~
The sponge itself, in its wholly uncompressed state, such as it would be pr:ior to insertion in the casing, is prefexably cylindrical. Sim:ilarly, the inter.ior of the casing is substan-tially cylindrica:L, with the exception of a member~ such as a ring clamp, at the.bottom surface of the casing which has an 1;~2;~7S
