Lotion applicator

Abstract

A lotion applicator comprises two layers of flexible material joined together to allow insertion of at least a part of a user's hand therebetween. At least one of the flexible material layers consists of a non-absorbent liquid-impermeable barrier layer, and a layer of flock or pile or foam applied to the outer surface of the barrier layer. A lotion applied to the at least one flexible material layer is thus, due to the barrier layer, unable to pass beyond the flock layer or pile layer or foam layer.

1 . A lotion applicator comprising two layers of flexible material joined together to allow insertion of at least a part of a user's hand therebetween, at least one of the flexible material layers consisting of a non-absorbent liquid-impermeable barrier layer and one of a layer of flock and a layer of pile and a layer of foam applied to the outer surface of the barrier layer, so that a lotion applied to the said at least one flexible material layer is unable to pass beyond said one of said flock layer and said pile layer and said foam layer.  
   
   
       2 . A lotion applicator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein both flexible material layers consist of the liquid-impermeable barrier layer and said one of said flock layer and said pile layer and said foam layer.  
   
   
       3 . A lotion applicator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the liquid-impermeable barrier layer is entirely synthetic.  
   
   
       4 . A lotion applicator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the liquid-impermeable barrier layer is formed from polyvinylchloride (PVC).  
   
   
       5 . A lotion applicator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the liquid-impermeable barrier layer is formed from polyurethane (PU).  
   
   
       6 . A lotion applicator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the two flexible layers are secured together by welding.  
   
   
       7 . A lotion applicator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the liquid-impermeable barrier layer and said one of said flock layer and said pile layer and said foam layer are secured together by adhesive.  
   
   
       8 . A lotion applicator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the applicator is sized to fit the entire, or substantially entire, hand of a user.  
   
   
       9 . A lotion applicator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the applicator is sized to fit only one or more fingers of a user.
