Abstract

1,016,867. Tampon applicators. JOHNSON & JOHNSON. Oct. 9,1962 [Oct. 9, 1961], No. 38204/62. Heading A5R. A tampon applicator comprises an outer tampon-receiving tube 12 having two axially-spaced protuberances 24, 38 on its inner surface, and a plunger 14 having an enlargement 28 at its forward end the plunger being slidable telescopically in the tube in sliding contact with the protuberances to eject the tampon but prevented from inadvertent withdrawal by engagement between the enlargement and the protuberances. The protuberances are in the form of circumferential ribs. A tampon 20 is disposed in the forward end of the outer tube, the rear end of the tampon being disposed adjacent to or in engagement with the plunger flange 24 when held by the first circumferential rib. The rear end of the outer tube has outer ribs 40 forming a finger grip. The plunger and outer tube are made of coated or uncoated cardboard or extruded polyethylene, cellulose acetate or nylon.
