Definitions
- the present invention relates to a multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator.
- the present invention is a multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator that is easy to package, convenient, easy to use, easy to transport, sanitary, economical, and self-contained.
- the present invention is not only a container but can also be used as the applicator. Furthermore, the present invention eliminates the tedious task of measuring the proper proportion of the substances required for application.
- the present invention comprises of a multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator that defines multiple channels within its body that may contain different substances in each channel and that is sealed on both ends.
- a score is formed at a predetermined distance from each sealed end of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator such that when the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator is bent it will break open at the score discharging the substances in the channels.
- Figure 1 shows the housing 1 of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator before the ends 5, 6 are sealed.
- Figure 2 shows the end view of the housing 1 of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator.
- Figure 3 shows the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with one of its ends 5 sealed.
- Figure 4 shows the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with one of its ends 5 sealed and its channels 2, 3 filled with different substances.
- Figure 5 shows the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with both ends 5, 6 sealed after its channels 2, 3 are filled with different substances.
- Figure 6 shows the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with scores 7, 8 formed at a predetermined distance from each sealed end 5, 6.
- Figure 7 shows the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with a cotton swab 9, 10 attached to each of its sealed end 5, 6 enclosing the score 7, 8.
- Figure 8 shows the end view of another embodiment of the multi-channel single- tube sealed container and applicator.
- Figure 9 shows the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with both of its sealed ends 5, 6 broken allowing the substance to be discharged from their respective channels 2, 3 into the cotton swab 10 at the end of the multi-channel single- tube sealed container and applicator.
- Figure 10 shows another embodiment of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with multiple scores 11, 12 formed perpendicular to the housing at predetermined distances from each sealed end 5, 6.
- Figure 11 shows another embodiment of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with multiple scores 13, 14 formed at a predetermined angle to the housing at predetermined distances from each sealed end 5, 6.
- Figure 1 shows the preferred embodiment of the housing 1 of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator before either of its two ends 5, 6 are sealed.
- the preferred embodiment of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator has a housing 1 that is in the shape of an elongated cylinder with two semi- spherical channels 2, 3 through the length of the housing 1 defined by the housing 1 and a dividing wall 4 within the housing 1.
- Figure 2 shows the end view of the preferred embodiment of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator.
- the preferred embodiment of the multichannel single-tube sealed container and applicator has a housing 1 that is in the shape of an elongated cylinder with two semi-spherical channels 2, 3 through the length of the housing 1 defined by the housing 1 and a dividing wall 4 within the housing 1.
- Figure 3 shows the preferred embodiment of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with one of its two ends 5 sealed.
- Figure 4 shows the preferred embodiment of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with its channels 2, 3 filled with different substances.
- the proportion of the substances can be controlled by filling the channels 2, 3 to different heights.
- Figure 5 shows the preferred embodiment of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with both of its ends 5, 6 sealed after its channels 2, 3 are filled with different substances.
- Figure 6 shows the preferred embodiment of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with a score 7, 8 formed at a predetermined distance from each sealed end 5, 6.
- Figure 7 shows the preferred embodiment of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with a cotton swab 9, 10 attached to each of its sealed end 5, 6 enclosing the score 7, 8 at each of the sealed end 5, 6.
- the cotton swabs 9, 10 may be in a rounded 10 or a pointed 9 shape at both ends 5, 6 or the cotton swab 9, 10 may be in a rounded shape 10 at one end 6 and in a pointed shape 9 at the other end 5.
- Figure 8 shows the end view of another embodiment of the multi-channel single- tube sealed container and applicator.
- the channels 2, 3 though the housing may have a circular profile or any other predetermined profile.
- the proportion of the substances may be controlled by varying the cross-sectional area of the channels 2, 3.
- Figure 9 shows the preferred embodiment of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with both of its sealed ends 5, 6 broken at the scores 7, 8 thereby allowing the substance within the channels 2, 3 to be discharged from their respective channels 2, 3 into the cotton swab 10 at the end of the housing 1.
- Figure 10 shows another embodiment of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with multiple scores 11, 12 formed perpendicular to the housing 1 at predetermined distances from each sealed end 5, 6.
- the amount of substance released may be controlled by breaking the sealed ends 5, 6 at the appropriate scores 11, 12 on the end of the housing 1 that the substances are accumulated.
- the substances accumulated in the broken end are trapped and cannot be discharged, while the substances in the housing 1 will be discharged when the other end of the housing 1 is broken.
- Figure 11 shows another embodiment of the multi-channel single-tube sealed container and applicator with multiple scores 13, 14 formed at predetermined angle to the housing 1 at predetermined distances from each sealed end 5, 6.
- the amount of substance released may be controlled by breaking the sealed ends 5, 6 at the appropriate score 13, 14 on the end of the housing 1 that the substances are accumulated.
- the substances accumulated in the broken end are trapped and cannot be discharged, while the substances in the housing 1 will be discharged when the other end of the housing 1 is broken.
