Abstract
A container and a cooperating cap, applicator and assembly for use in storing, retrieving, and in applying a fluid-like cosmetic material, and for other uses. The container is characterized in that it is conveniently positioned to assume each of two different, physically-stable, orientational attitudes or modes. In a first mode, the container stands upright, in a conventional manner. In its second mode, the container assumes a tilted or angular position so that the wand-manipulated applicator may conveniently be withdrawn and reinserted at a comfortable, corresponding use angle. Any need to exercise an inherently more awkward straight-up manipulation of the wand is obviated. The duo-stable capability feature is imparted to the container by providing a container base or floor with two distinct sectors which are angled with respect to one another. The wand assembly comprises a plurality of inter-coupled components which conveniently includes an elongate probe or applicator and a surmounting, integrally-formed, disc-like sealing flange. A handle coupled to the probe through a connecting boss extends upwardly from the probe and an interiorly threaded bushing is sleeved over and abuts a base rim of the handle, coupling the handle and probe to the container in fluid-sealing engagement.
