Lotion application system

Abstract

An application system for applying liquid preparations, such as lotion and the like, to parts of the human body. The applicator system comprises an applicator having a liquid preparation thereon, a pair of handles at each end, and a sealable pouch configured to store the applicator before use. Preferably, the applicator is configured so that the user can apply a liquid preparation, such as suntan lotion or perfume, to his or her own back. In various other embodiments, the applicator strip consists of a non-woven fabric, preferably about two feet long and six inches wide, and is foldable into a sealable pouch that is approximately two inches square. In one embodiment, this pouch has string handles. The applicator may be either disposable or reusable.

         8 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said sealable pouch is approximately 2 inches long and 2 inches wide, said applicator being foldable so as to fit in said sealable pouch.  
     
     
         9 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said applicator is reusable, such that said applicator is configured to receive a quantity of additional liquid preparation after an original quantity of said liquid preparation has been applied.  
     
     
         10 . A method of manufacturing an application system for liquid preparations, said method comprising the steps of: 
 fabricating an applicator;    applying a liquid preparation on said applicator;    attaching at opposite end regions of said applicator a pair of handles;    folding said applicator;    inserting said applicator in a pouch; and    sealing said pouch.    
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein said applying step comprises applying suntan lotion on said applicator.  
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein said applying step comprises applying perfume on said applicator.  
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein said fabricating step comprises fabricating said applicator out of fabric.  
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 13 , wherein said fabricating step further comprises fabricating said applicator out of a non-woven material.  
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein said attaching step further comprises attaching a string handle at both ends of said applicator.  
     
     
         16 . A method of applying a liquid preparation, said method comprising the steps of: 
 opening a sealable pouch having stored therein an applicator, said applicator having a liquid preparation thereon;    grasping a pair of handles disposed at opposite end regions of said applicator; and    holding said applicator in contact with a surface which is desired to have applied thereon said liquid preparation;    moving said applicator so as to apply said liquid preparation to said surface.    
     
     
         17 . The method according to  claim 16 , wherein said surface is a user's back.  
     
     
         18 . The method according to  claim 16 , wherein said liquid preparation is suntan lotion.  
     
     
         19 . The method according to  claim 16 , wherein said liquid preparation is perfume.  
     
     
         20 . The method according to  claim 16 , further comprising the step of applying a quantity of additional liquid preparation after an original quantity of said liquid preparation has been applied.
