Abstract

L'invention porte sur un applicateur (10) à brossette de blanchissant dentaire ou de médication pour la peau comportant un tube (11) délimitant une chambre intérieure (25) fermée lors que l'applicateur (40) y est présent, et renfermant une certaine quantité de produit de traitement. Ledit applicateur comporte: un manche (41), une tige (43); et un embout (45) de matériau souple et absorbant disposé à l'extrémité de la tige, et présentant une surface (61) distale plane inclinée, spécialement conçue pour enduire au mieux la surface à traiter. Un humecteur (30) placé dans la chambre présente une ouverture (33) de diamètre réduit dans laquelle doit passer l'embout de l'applicateur chargé du produit traitant. La relation entre les dimensions extérieures de l'embout et l'ouverture de l'humecteur est telle que le produit traitant en excès est éliminé de l'embout lorsque qu'on retire l'embout de la chambre.
