Abstract

A rotatable sponge-foam roller 4 is attached to a handle 1. The handle incorporates a fixed sealable lid 2 for a container 9 of lotion, such as sun cream. The container 9 may contain a funnel 7, strainer 8 and overflow holes 6. The funnel and strainer 7, 8 optimises the lotion loaded onto the sponge-foam roller 4 as it is removed from the container 9. The roller 4 can preferably rotate both clockwise and anti-clockwise, and a flexible stopper (10, fig.5) may be provided to hold the roller in place. The stopper (10, fig.5) is preferably flexible enough to allow the roller to be removed and replaced with another one if desired. The container 9 is refillable, and all parts are easily cleaned.

An example of the invention will now be described by referring to the accompanying drawings: A handle 1. with a scalable fixed lid 2., is attached a sealable shank 3, and to a shaft 5, that holds a rotatable sponge-foam roller 4.

The roller is held in place by a flexible stopper 10. that also allows the sponge foam rollerto be replaced.

The bottle 9. containing a body lotion, has a built -in funnel 7. incorporating a strainer 8., with overflow holes 6.

The bottle 9. receives the sponge foam 4. and can be sealed shut by the shank 3. compressing against the funnel 7. & sealable lid 2.

The sponge foam 4. absorbs the fluid with a couple of shakes of the bottle 9, when closed.

Whilst removing the sponge foam roller 4. from the bottle 9., the strainer 8. removes excess lotion so that the sponge foam contains the optimum amount of fluid for applying to the skin & does not drip.

The loaded roller is then rolled over the skin to deliver the lotion.

Fig 6, Fig], Fig 8.

The sponge foam roller 4. moves clockwise and anti-clockwise for ease of use.

If the loaded sponge foam roller 4. is removed from the bottle 9., not used & replaced, the funnel's holes 6. allow any fluid squeezed from the sponge foam 4. to pass back into the bottle 9., to prevent overflowing.
