Abstract
A roller-type cosmetic applicator is described featuring a cap of T-configuration adapted to fit on the outlet of a product container. The head portion of the cap has an integral cylindrical bearing element through which extends an axle having two rollers affixed at opposite ends. The axle has a reduced central portion defining a chamber between the axle and the bearing element. The chamber is in communication with the container, and, through two small openings, with the uppermost portion of the cap, where the product is delivered for distribution by the rollers. In one embodiment the reduced portion of the axle is provided with vanes comprising an impeller, which when rotated with the rollers and axle, assist dispensing of the product.
