Abstract
An improved dauber having a applicator pad which may have its central portion radially tensioned or which pad may have a predetermined degree of looseness. The improved dauber comprises a discrete retaining ring which is forced into a U-shape channel of the dauber along with the peripheral portion of the pad so that the peripheral portion of the pad is secured intermediate at least a portion of the retaining ring and an adjacent portion of the wall of the U-shape channel. Also, the peripheral portion of the pad may be partially wrapped about the retaining ring to provide more resistance to being loosened by rubbing. The retaining ring may comprise shaped portions such as serrations, teeth, hooks, or points which engage the peripheral portion of the pad during assembly of the dauber so that the central portion of the pad may become radially tensioned. The retaining ring and the peripheral portion of the pad are locked in the U-shape channel by substantially closing the channel.
