ABSTRACT:
A combination applicator/massager device is described for simultaneous application of a fluid to an area of a person's skin and massage of that area of skin. The device contains a reservoir for containment and dispensing of the fluid, the reservoir forming a hollow chamber open at one end; a ball retainer having ball-seating recesses therein; a dispensing or metering plate fitting within and substantially closing the open end of the reservoir, with fluid conduits in the plate permitting liquid communication between each recess and the chamber; a spherical ball seated in and freely rotatable within each the recess; and cooperating securing threads or the like to removably secure the retaining means to the reservoir with the plate disposed therebetween and with each ball retained for free rotation in its recess; whereby fluid contained in the reservoir can flow through the conduits into the recesses and onto the surface of the balls and by rotation of the balls the fluid will be transferred to the person's skin when the ball is brought into massaging contact with the person's skin. The balls preferable have textured surfaces for improved liquid retention. Interchangeable balls, retainers and plates can be used to provide optimum dispensing of liquids of different compositions and viscosities.
