Manageable Substance Applicator Delivery Container

Abstract

The improved substance applicator delivery container includes a substance applicator component infused or impregnated with a desired scent, perfume, essential oil, or chemical substance and retained between two cover sheets of material that is substantially impermeable to the infused or impregnated substance. The two cover sheets are releasably bonded through a polymer adhesive surrounding the substance applicator. The substance applicator component may also be bonded to the bottom cover sheet through a semi-rigid to rigid polymer carrier component, which provides additional control for application of the substance. The polymer adhesive may be deposited in a chevron-shaped feature near the top edge of the packet to allow for controlled opening of the packet. Gripping ridges near the top edge of the packet further assist the controlled opening of the packet.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A manageable substance applicator delivery container, the container comprising:
 a first packet cover separably bonded to a second packet cover with a bonding compound to form a container for a substance applicator therein, the first and second packet covers each having at least one corresponding opening edge, each opening edge comprising a chevron-shaped bonding feature, wherein the chevron-shaped bonding feature initially concentrates a container opening-force applied by a user near the point of the chevron-shaped bonding feature and finally controls distribution of the container opening-force along the respective opening edges in an outward direction from the point; and   a substance applicator bonded with a polymer carrier to the first packet cover.   
     
     
         2 . The manageable substance applicator delivery container of  claim 1 , wherein the polymer carrier is rigid. 
     
     
         3 . The manageable substance applicator delivery container of  claim 1 , each corresponding opening edge further comprising:
 a plurality of raised gripping ridges.   
     
     
         4 . A manageable substance applicator delivery container, the container comprising:
 a first packet cover separably bonded to a second packet cover with a bonding compound to form a container for a substance applicator therein, the first and second packet covers each having at least one corresponding opening edge, each opening edge comprising at least one chevron-shaped bonding feature, wherein the chevron-shaped bonding feature initially concentrates a container opening-force applied by a user near the point of the chevron-shaped bonding feature and finally controls distribution of the container opening-force along the respective opening edges in an outward direction from the point.   
     
     
         5 . The manageable substance applicator delivery container of  claim 4 , the container further comprising:
 a polymer carrier for bonding the substance applicator to the inside of the first packet cover.   
     
     
         6 . The manageable substance applicator delivery container of  claim 5 , wherein the polymer carrier is rigid. 
     
     
         7 . The manageable substance applicator delivery container of  claim 4 , each corresponding opening edge further comprising:
 a plurality of raised gripping ridges.   
     
     
         8 . A manageable substance applicator delivery container, the container comprising:
 a first packet cover separably bonded to a second packet cover with a bonding compound to form a container for a substance applicator therein, the first and second packet covers each having at least one corresponding opening edge; and   a substance applicator bonded with a polymer carrier to the first packet cover.   
     
     
         9 . The manageable substance applicator delivery container of  claim 8 , wherein the polymer carrier is rigid. 
     
     
         10 . The manageable substance applicator delivery container of  claim 8 , wherein each corresponding opening edge further comprises:
 a plurality of raised gripping ridges.   
     
     
         11 . The manageable substance applicator delivery container of  claim 8 , wherein each corresponding opening edge further comprises:
 at least one chevron-shaped bonding feature, wherein the chevron-shaped bonding feature initially concentrates a container opening-force applied by a user near the point of the chevron-shaped bonding feature and finally controls distribution of the container opening-force along the respective opening edges in an outward direction from the point.
