US Patent 10376035 Lip balm container with dental floss dispenser

A lip balm container is presented as a tubular member having a hollow interior with axial opposite proximal and distal ends and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends. The tubular member has a first chamber in the hollow interior adjacent the proximal end, a dental floss cutting tool adjacent to the distal end, and a second chamber in the hollow interior intermediate the first chamber and the distal end. The first chamber receives lip balm and exposes the lip balm from the proximal end. The second chamber receives a coil of dental floss with a center axis of the coil of dental floss being arranged perpendicular to the lip balm container longitudinal axis. An aperture communicates with the second chamber and allows the lead end of the dental floss to advance from the second chamber to the dental floss cutting tool.
