Abstract
The present invention is an improved applicator swab which contains a resilient cushion element between the end of the applicator stick and the adherent, absorbent swab tip for the applicator swab. The presence of the cushion element, which is preferably formed of a soft, resilient hot melt adhesive, gives an added degree of protection should the end of the stick holding the swab tip protrude through the body of the tip upon being manipulated by the end user of the applicator swab.
