Multiple Function Applicator Assembly

Abstract

A multiple function applicator assembly (MFAA) that has two design configurations. Both design configuration comprise a first cap, a second cap, and an extracting rod. The extracting rod has an upper end, and a lower end that terminates with a pointed tip in the first design, or a shovel head tip in the second design. The extracting rod extends upward through the second cap into an interior channel within the first cap. The second cap is inserted into the substantial midpoint of the first cap. The retaining ring maintains the extracting rod centered and a spring surrounds the interior channel and interfaces with the ring maintaining the first cap secured to the second cap. As the first cap is pushed downward and turned, pressure is applied from the spring onto the retaining ring, allowing and causing the extracting rod to move up and down and to rotate, which allows the pointed tip or shovel tip to extend to the bottom of a container and to remove the entire contents held within the container.

1 . A multiple function applicator assembly (MFAA) comprising:
 a first cap comprised of:
 an upper end with an inner surface, an outer surface, and a perimeter edge, 
 a lower end having an inner surface, an outer surface, a perimeter edge, an opening extending through the lower end to the upper end, and an interior channel, 
 a side wall with an inner surface and an outer surface, 
 a spring with an upper end and a lower end, 
   a second cap comprised of:
 an upper end having a perimeter edge and an opening, 
 a lower end having a perimeter edge and an opening, 
 a side wall with an inner surface and an outer surface, 
 a retaining ring having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an opening, an extracting rod having an upper end and a lower end that terminates with a pointed tip, the extracting rod upper end extending upward through the second cap into the interior channel within the first cap, the second cap inserted to the substantial midpoint of the first cap and frictionally held therein, the retaining ring maintaining the extracting rod in a substantially centered position within the first cap and second cap, with the spring surrounding the interior channel and interfacing with the upper surface of the retaining ring which maintains the first cap secured to the second cap, as the first cap is pushed downward and turned, pressure is applied from the spring onto the retaining ring, allowing and causing the extracting rod to move up and down and to rotate, which action allows the lower end and pointed tip of the extracting rod to extend to the bottom of a container and to remove the entire contents of a product held within the container with the contents then applied onto an item or surface.

         11 . A multiple function applicator assembly (MFAA) comprising:
 a first cap comprised of:
 an upper end with an inner surface, an outer surface, and a perimeter edge, 
 a lower end having an inner surface, an outer surface, a perimeter edge, an opening extending through the lower end to the upper end, and an interior channel, 
 a side wall with an inner surface and an outer surface, 
 a spring with an upper end and a lower end, 
   a second cap comprised of:
 an upper end having a perimeter edge and an opening, 
 a lower end having a perimeter edge and an opening, 
 a side wall with an inner surface and an outer surface, 
 a retaining ring having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an opening, an extracting rod having an upper end and a lower end that terminates with a substantially flat, square shovel head, the extracting rod upper end extending upward through the second cap into the interior channel within the first cap, the second cap inserted to the substantial midpoint of the first cap and frictionally held therein, the retaining ring maintaining the extracting rod in a substantially centered position within the first cap and second cap, with the spring surrounding the interior channel and interfacing with the upper surface of the retaining ring which maintains the first cap secured to the second cap, as the first cap is pushed downward and turned, pressure is applied from the spring onto the retaining ring, allowing and causing the extracting rod to move up and down and to rotate, which allows the lower end and shovel head of the extracting rod to extend to the bottom of a container and to remove the entire contents of a product held within the container with the contents then applied onto an item or surface.
