Lotion application apparatus

Abstract

A lotion application apparatus is configured by a combination of a lotion container to carry the lotion therein and a container cap both have a cylindrical shape and telescopically connected with one another. The lotion application apparatus can be extendable to reach a desired body part while compact enough to carry around in the shortened state. A part of the sponge is inserted in the lotion container to be soaked with the lotion and a sponge cap is provided to cover the sponge.

       5 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the rod portion and the handle portion is made of plastic.  
   
   
       6 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 1 , further comprising a clip portion in the dented portion on the lotion bottle to hold the rod portion.  
   
   
       7 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 6 , wherein the dented portion of the lotion bottle has the shape of the handle portion, the sponge portion and the rod portion to store them therein.  
   
   
       8 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 6 , wherein the dented portion of the lotion bottle has the shape of a rectangle to store the handle portion, the sponge portion and the rod portion without regard to the shapes thereof  
   
   
       9 . A lotion application apparatus for applying lotions or other objects to a user's body, comprising: 
 a rod portion, one end of which is held by a user as a handle and the other end is connected to a sponge portion; and    a sponge portion on which the lotion to be applied is placed.    
   
   
       10 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 9 , further comprising punched out patterns on the rod portion to reduce weight and cost.  
   
   
       11 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 9 , further comprising a hook string portion that allows the lotion application apparatus to be hung on a desired spot.  
   
   
       12 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 9 , wherein the sponge portion is a roller that rotates about a shaft positioned at the center thereof.  
   
   
       13 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 12 , wherein the shaft projected from both ends of the roller is supported at both ends by side support portions of the rod portion.  
   
   
       14 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 9 , wherein the sponge portion is a roller that rotates about a shaft where holes are formed on both ends of the roller wherein projections of side support portions of the rod portion fit-in the holes, thereby supporting the roller.  
   
   
       15 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 12 , wherein the shaft is supported from one end and the other end is projected from another end of the roller and is bent slightly to prevent slip-out of the roller.  
   
   
       16 . A lotion application apparatus for applying lotions or other objects to a user's body, comprising: 
 a lotion container of a cylindrical shape for carrying the lotion therein;    a container cap of a cylindrical shape which is slidably connected to the lotion container; and    a sponge, a part of which is inserted in the lotion container at a lower part thereof so that the sponge being soaked with the lotion;    wherein the lotion container and the container cap are telescopically connected with one another so that the lotion application apparatus can be either extended or contracted.    
   
   
       17 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 16 , further comprising a sponge cover for covering the sponge when the lotion application apparatus is not used.  
   
   
       18 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 16 , wherein the lotion container and the container cap have a stopper mechanism to fix the lotion application apparatus to a desired length.  
   
   
       19 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 16 , wherein the lotion container has an opening for filling the lotion therethrough.  
   
   
       20 . A lotion application apparatus as defined in  claim 17 , wherein the lotion container has a projection around the sponge so that the sponge cover is securely fit on the lotion container.
