Container with thumb button in a slot

Abstract

The container with thumb button in a slot is a small elongated container for liquids and viscous substances. The container with thumb button in a slot comprises an elongated tubular housing with a small opening at one end and a slot extending from the other end to approximately half the length of the elongated tubular housing. A piston is disposed near the end of the elongated tubular housing with the slot. The piston has a raised thumb button near the end that is disposed near the end of the elongated tubular housing. The raised thumb button is engaged to a ratchet mechanism to enable the piston to move back and forth in the elongated tubular housing in predetermined steps. A liquid or viscous substance is disposed in the elongated tubular housing between the small opening at one end of the elongated tubular housing and the piston wherein when the piston is urged toward the liquid or viscous substance in the elongated tubular housing, the liquid or viscous substance will be extracted from the elongated tubular housing through the small opening at the end of the elongated tubular housing.

1 . A container with thumb button in a slot comprising: 
 an elongated tubular housing with one ore more small opening at a first end and a slot extending from a second end of the elongated tubular housing;    a piston disposed in said elongated tubular housing; and    a fluid disposed in said elongated tubular housing between said first end of said elongated tubular housing and said piston;    wherein when said piston is urged to move from an initial position in said elongated tubular housing, said fluid will be extracted from said elongated tubular housing through said one or more small opening.    
   
   
       2 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 1 , where said piston has a button near an end that is disposed near said second end of said elongated tubular housing wherein the button is engaged in said slot in said elongated tubular housing.  
   
   
       3 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 2 , wherein a ratchet mechanism is affixed in said elongated tubular housing whereby said button is engaged to the ratchet mechanism.  
   
   
       4 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 2 , wherein an opposing button is affixed on the exterior of said elongated tubular housing to enable easier operation of said button by providing a place for the exertion of opposing force when pushing against said button.  
   
   
       5 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 1  wherein said elongated tubular housing defines two channels with a piston in each of said channel.  
   
   
       6 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 1 , wherein a viscous substance is disposed in said one or more small openings at said first end of said elongated tubular housing.  
   
   
       7 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 6 , wherein said viscous substance is silicone.  
   
   
       8 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 1 , wherein an applicator tip is affixed to said first end of said elongated tubular housing.  
   
   
       9 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 8 , wherein said applicator tip has one or more cut that remains closed normally but is forced open in operation to release said fluid in said elongated tubular housing out through the one or more cut.  
   
   
       10 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 8 , wherein said applicator tip has a cotton tip, a small comb or brush, a pad, or a needle.  
   
   
       11 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 1  or  8 , wherein a mixing means is disposed near said one or more small opening in said elongated tubular housing.  
   
   
       12 . A container with thumb button in a slot comprising: 
 an elongated tubular housing with a small opening at a first end and a slot extending from a second end of the elongated tubular housing;    a piston disposed in said elongated tubular housing;    a needle with a needle base disposed near said small opening; and    a fluid disposed in said elongated tubular housing between said needle and said piston;    wherein when said piston is urged to move from an initial position in said elongated tubular housing, said needle will move from an initial position to an operating position.    
   
   
       13 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 12 , where said piston has a button near an end that is disposed near said second end of said elongated tubular housing wherein the button is engaged in said slot in said elongated tubular housing.  
   
   
       14 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 13 , wherein a ratchet mechanism is affixed in said elongated tubular housing whereby said button is engaged to the ratchet mechanism.  
   
   
       15 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 12 , wherein a close fitting cap is removably affixed to said needle.  
   
   
       16 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 12 , wherein a thin puncturable film covers said small opening.  
   
   
       17 . A container with thumb button in a slot comprising: 
 an elongated tubular housing with two different inside diameters that meet at a neck section and a slot extending from an end of the elongated tubular housing;    a piston disposed in said elongated tubular housing at said neck section; and    a fluid disposed in said elongated tubular housing between an end of said elongated tubular housing and said piston;    wherein when said piston is urged to move from an initial position in said elongated tubular housing, said fluid will be released from said elongated tubular housing.    
   
   
       18 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 17 , where said piston has a button wherein the button is engaged in said slot in said elongated tubular housing.  
   
   
       19 . A container with thumb button in a slot as in  claim 18 , wherein a ratchet mechanism is affixed in said elongated tubular housing whereby said button is engaged to the ratchet mechanism.
