ABSTRACT:
A new and improved moistening apparatus is used with a squeezable bottle and includes a moisture dispensing assembly connected by a friction fit to the mouth portion of the bottle. The moisture dispensing assembly includes a stopper assembly, a moisture dispensing element (such as a sponge) supported by the stopper assembly, and a conduit tube assembly connected to and in fluid communication with the moisture dispensing element. The conduit tube assembly extends from the moisture dispensing element to an interior portion of the bottle for conveying water from the bottle to the moisture dispensing element. By squeezing the bottle, water is forced by positive pressure from the body portion through the conduit tube assembly to the moisture dispensing element. The stopper assembly, connected to the mouth of the bottle by a friction fit, may include a stopper element that has a plurality of stepped portions each including a different outer diameter, such that the different stepped portions are capable of fitting into different-size mouth portions of different bottles. The stepped portion which has the largest outer diameter may include a threaded outer portion. A complementarily threaded cap may be attached to the threaded outer portion to seal the moisture within the bottle. The conduit tube assembly may include two telescopically connected members for adjusting the effective length of the conduit tube assembly. A stamp supply retention assembly may be connected to an exterior portion of the stopper assembly for facilitating moistening of the stamps.
