Claims
- 1. A dispenser for a viscous liquid comprising:a barrel containing said viscous liquid, said barrel closed at a first end and substantially closed at a second end; a barrel extension on said second end of said barrel; a viscous liquid holder in said barrel and moveably connected to a rod, an upper end of said rod extending into said barrel extension and having part of a mechanism for rotating said rod attached thereto; an actuator extending from an exterior surface of said barrel extension into contact with part of said mechanism for rotating said rod; a viscous liquid applicator at an upper portion of said barrel extension opposite said barrel, at least one conduit extending through said barrel extension connecting said barrel to a lower portion of said viscous liquid applicator, said viscous liquid applicator having a surface on an upper portion for the delivery of said viscous liquid.
- 2. A dispenser as in claim 1 wherein said rod is a threaded rod along more than half the length thereof, said rod threadedly engaging said viscous liquid holder whereby upon the rotation of said rod said viscous liquid holder can be moved in said barrel.
- 3. A dispenser as in claim 1 wherein an upper portion of said barrel extension is at an angle to the vertical axis to said barrel.
- 4. A dispenser as in claim 3 wherein the upper portion of said barrel extension is at an angle of about 5° to 75° to the vertical axis of said barrel.
- 5. A dispenser as in claim 3 wherein there are at least two conduits extending through said barrel extension for connecting said barrel to a lower portion of said viscous liquid applicator.
- 6. A dispenser as in claim 1 wherein the viscous liquid applicator has a porous surface, said porous surface of said viscous liquid applicator being a microporous polymeric material.
- 7. A dispenser as in claim 1 wherein the viscous liquid applicator has a porous surface, said porous surface of said viscous liquid applicator being a woven fabric.
- 8. A dispenser as in claim 1 wherein the viscous liquid applicator has a porous surface, said porous surface of said viscous liquid applicator being a nonwoven fabric.
- 9. A dispenser as in claim 8 wherein said nonwoven fabric is an extruded fabric with a plurality of apertures.
- 10. A dispenser as in claim 1 wherein said actuator has at least one drive arm extending inwardly of said barrel extension, said at least one drive arm contacting said mechanism for rotating said rod.
- 11. A dispenser as in claim 10 wherein said rod has a plurality of gear teeth around an upper part thereof, said at least one drive arm contacting said plurality of gear teeth and rotating said rod.
- 12. A dispenser as in claim 11 wherein there is at least one spring arm extending inwardly from said actuator.
- 13. A dispenser as in claim 1 wherein said viscous liquid applicator has at least one applicator conduit extending from a lower surface thereof, said at least one applicator conduit interconnecting with at least one barrel extension conduit to flow said viscous liquid from said barrel to said liquid applicator.
