Patent attributes
The device includes a container and an applicator including a rod connected at a first end to a gripping member and to an application element at a second end. The device further includes a first wiping member disposed in the container and including a deformable portion configured to wipe the application element during extraction of the application element from the container. The device includes a movable adjustment member that limits deformation of the deformable portion during passage of the application element through the deformable portion. Deformation of the deformable portion is less limited by the adjustment member when the adjustment member is in a second position than when the adjustment member is in a first position. The adjustment member typically limits deformation of the deformable portion without substantially constraining the deformable portion when the deformable portion is un-deformed by either the application element or rod, irrespective of a position of the adjustment member.
