DETAILED DESCRPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0014] As shown in Figs. 2-5, the twist up pen type dispenser with brush applicator 1 comprises a body 2, preferably substantially in the shape of a cylinder, having a top 3, a bottom 4, an outer surface 5 and an inner surface 6 which defines an annular space 7. As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, material 8 may be within the annular space 7, which functions as a reservoir for the material 8 within the twist up pen type dispenser with brush applicator 1. The material 8 may be a dentifrice, such as tooth gel, tooth paste, mouthwash, mouth rinse, tooth whitener and combinations thereof, cosmetics, such as mascara and eyeliner, hair colorants such as darkeners, like darkeners for facial hair such as moustaches, dyes or similar materials, or skin treatment compositions, combinations thereof, and the like.
[0015] Again referring to Figs 2-5, the twist up pen type dispenser with brush applicator 1 further comprises an end cap 9, preferably substantially in the shape of the cylinder, having a continuous lateral side 10 with an outer surface 11 and an inner surface 12, an end cap top 13 having an end cap opening 14 and an end cap bottom 15 with an outer surface 16 and an inner surface 17, the end cap having a cavity 18 defined by the inner surface 12 of the continuous lateral side 10 and the inner surface 17 of the end cap bottom 15. The end cap top 13 is adjacent ■" tcrth'e1 'bθπdm"4°of1theb'δdy -2f'W?th the end cap opening 14 and cavity 18 about aligned with the annular opening 7 of the body 2. As shown in Figs. 2-5, the outer surface 11 of the end cap 9 may have a continuous protrusion 111 at about the end cap top 13. Also, the inner surface 17 of the end cap 9 may have a plurality of sequential and adjacent polygonal surfaces 19, such as rectangular surfaces. As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the polygonal surfaces may protrude within the annular opening 7 being opposite the inner surface 6 of the body 2 at about the bottom 4 of the body 2. The end cap is preferably capable of rotation. The end cap and/or body may be made of clear or opaque plastic material which permits portability without risk of breakage and allows a user to see the amount of material 8 remaining in the annular space 7.
[0016] The twist up pen type dispenser with brush applicator 1 further comprises means 21 for moving the material 8 from the annular space 7 to a brush applicator 20. As shown in the embodiment depicted in Figs. 2-5, the means 21 comprises a driving rod 22, a compression spring 23, a ratchet wheel 24', a securing seat 25, a piston rod 26 and a piston 27. As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the driving rod 22 has a top 28, bottom 29, an inner surface 30 and an outer surface 31. The bottom 29 of the of the driving rod 22 is inserted into the end cap bottom and is held into place by the polygonal surfaces 19 such that as the end cap rotates the driving rod is driven to rotate which causes the piston rod 26 and piston 27 to move through the annular space 7.
[0017] As shown in the drawings, particularly Figs. 2-5, a continuous shelf 33 is located on the inner surface 6 of the body proximate to the bottom 4 of the body 2. The ratchet wheel 24 has a top 34 and a bottom 35 and comprises a plurality (e.g. a ring) of teeth 36 at the top 34. The compression spring 24 is mounted to the !'P' IT* T / 8 Ii C; O %Z -" £$ 1Q1T ' t «"■*
" outer 'surface"bfttie tfϊϊvϊrig rød'between the bottom 35 of the ratchet wheel and the continuous shelf 33 and facilitates movement of the ratchet wheel 24.
[0018] The securing seat 34 is above the ratchet wheel. The securing seat 34 has a top 35 and a bottom 36 and there are a plurality of teeth 33 (e.g. a ring of teeth) at the bottom 36 of the securing seat. The seat further has a circumferential edge 37 which is provided with securing engagement edge 38 of polygonal shape on the inner surface of the body for mounting within the annular opening 7 of the body 2. The securing seat 34 further comprises a hole 39 at about the center running from the top 35 to the bottom allowing the piston rod 26 to pass through. As shown in Figs. 2-5, the top 35 of the securing seat 34 may be smaller in dimension, e.g., have a smaller diameter in the axial direction than the bottom 36 of the securing seat 34.
[0019] The piston rod 26 is threaded with screw threads 40 for mounting to the inner surface 30 of the driving rod 22. The inner surface 30 of the driving rod 22 may also have screw threads 45. The piston rod is secured at the top of the piston rod to the piston 27. As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the top of the piston rod 26 is provided with an engaging block 46 having a continuous outer protrusion 47 and a center protrusion 147 to engage with the piston 27. The continuous outer protrusion 47 is proximate to the outer edge of the engaging block 47 and the center protrusion 147 corresponds to the piston rod 26.
[0020] The piston 27 is located in the annular space 7 of the body 2. The bottom 48 of the piston interfaces with the engaging block 46 and, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5 the continuous outer protrusion 47 and center protrusion 147 protrude within the piston 27 thus securing the piston 27 to the engaging block 46 and thus the piston rod 26. The piston may be any geometric shape, such as a disc with a flat top " and bottom;' butis- shown 1In-FIgS. 4 and 5 as having a conical shape, such as a crown top. The conical shape maximizes removal of the material 8 from the annular opening 7. The piston 27 may be made from silicone or similar type plastic material.
[0021] Referring to Figs. 2-5, when the end cap 10 rotates counterclockwise, the driving rod 22 will drive the ratchet wheel 36 to rotate counterclockwise. At the same time, the piston 27 will move upward within the annular space 7 as a result of the piston rod 26 being driven by the driving rod 22. The material 8 is on the top of the piston 27 and is squeezed upwards to the nozzle section 48. When the ratchet wheel 24 rotates counterclockwise, the teeth 33 will not move for the reason that the securing seat 34 is secured to the body 2. The sloping face of the teeth 36 of the ratchet wheel 24 will move along the corresponding sloping face of the teeth 33 of the securing seat 34 so that the ratchet wheel 24 will be lowered and compress the compression spring 23 until the teeth 36 of the ratchet wheel 24 are moved to the teeth 33 of the securing seat 34 (i.e., the sloping face of the teeth 36 of the ratchet wheel 24 are engaged with the sloping face of the teeth 33 of the securing seat 34 displaced by one tooth 33 section in the counterclockwise direction). At this instance, the ratchet wheel 24 will restore to its original position by the spring force of the compression spring 26.
[0022] In the original position, the teeth 36 of the ratchet wheel 24 are mutually opposed to the teeth 33 of the securing seat 34, such that the teeth are mutually engaging, so that reverse direction (e.g., clockwise direction) of the ratchet wheel will not be possible. The piston 27 defines the lower edge of the material 8 within the annular space 7. Because reverse direction of the ratchet wheel is not possible, the piston 27 is effectively unidirectional and thus the material will always move toward the top 3 of the body 2. This precludes material 8 and, in part, ,pi jr ,τ ^ , ,p S,,, ,,,,iP ,,„ ^
' prevents mate πal 8, from entering portions of the annular space 7 behind the advancement of the piston 27 and contacting the other elements of the means for moving the material. This aspect of the invention facilitates the function of the device.

As shown in Figs. 2-3, the nozzle section body outer surface 53 near the nozzle section body bottom 51 may have one or more protrusions 78 for engaging the cover 77.
[0025] As shown in Figs 2-5, the nozzle element 50 comprises a base section 59, nozzle mid section 60 and a tip 61. The base section 59 is cylindrical " aπd' has"'a'bas'e"sectron"Outerwall 62 that has a plurality of protrusions which secure the nozzle element to the nozzle section body. The nozzle section body 49 is either attached to the body 2 or is integral with the body 2. The nozzle element base section 59 has a base section inner surface 159 which may be tapered that defines all or part of a nozzle annular space 63 that is continuous through the base section 59, mid section 60 and tip 61. The nozzle mid section 60 has an outer wall 64 that may have one or more protrusions 65 for engaging the brush applicator 20 and a mid section inner surface 160 which may be tapered that defines all or part of a nozzle part annular space 63. The tip 61 is a tapered element having an nozzle opening 66 at the end opposite the mid section 60. The tip has a tip inner surface 161 which may be tapered that defines all or part of a nozzle part annular space 63.
[0026] The twist up pen type dispenser with brush applicator 1 further comprises the brush applicator 20, which is shown in the drawings and in particular Figs. 6-8. The brush applicator 20 comprises a brush applicator base 67 which is generally a cylindrical sleeve 120 having a hollow inner section for engaging the nozzle section 48, and a brush applicator top 68. The brush applicator base 67 has an outer surface 69 and an inner surface 70 with the inner surface 70 defining the sleeve. The sleeve is capable of engaging the outer wall 64 of the nozzle mid section 61 and the top wall 58 of the sheath 55 such that the brush applicator can be secured to or releasably secured to the nozzle element. The bottom of the brush applicator base 67 has an opening defined by the inner surface 70. The brush applicator top 68 may be angled and has a brush applicator top surface 168 having one or more brush protrusions 71 and a pinhole 72. As shown in Figs. 6-8, when the brush applicator 20 is releasably secured to the nozzle, the nozzle opening 66 is engageσ'wrtrrthe'piπhole 72? "The bπjsh applicator 20 may be a single piece made of silicone, such as injection molded silicone, or similar type material.
[0027] As shown in Figs. 2-4, the twist up pen type dispenser with brush applicator 1 also comprises a cover 77, preferably substantially in the shape of a cylinder, having a cover outer surface 73, a cover inner surface 74 and a cover top 75 with an inner and outer surface. The cover has a cover opening 76 at the end opposite the cover top 75. The cover inner surface 74 and the inner surface of the cover top defines a cavity so that the cover can be placed over the nozzle element and brush applicator with the cover inner surface 74 engaging the nozzle section body outer surface 53, such as the one or more protrusions 78 near the nozzle section body bottom 51. In this manner the cover can be replaceably secured to the twist up pen type dispenser with brush applicator.
[0028] As shown in Figs 2-4, the cover further comprises a cover protrusion 79 emanating from the inner surface of the cover top 75, generally from about the center of the inner surface of the cover. The protrusion 79 may be tapered and has a protrusion tip 80 at the end opposite the cover top 75. When the cover is releasably secured to the twist up pen type dispenser with brush applicator 1 , the protrusion tip 80 is engaged with the pinhole 72 and/or the nozzle opening 66. As such, the engagement of the nozzle opening, pinhole and cover protrusion effectively seals the material from the external environment when the twist up pen type dispenser with brush applicator 1 is not in use The cover top 75 may further comprise one or more holes (not shown) to allow ambient air onto the brush applicator. The cover may be made of a clear plastic material.
[0029] The material 8 in the twist up pen type dispenser with brush applicator 1 is stored for use in the annular space 7 of the body 2. When a person "" desires to use^the tWstup11 pen-type dispenser with brush applicator, the user removes the cover 78 and rotates the end cap 10 thereby causing the driving rod 22 to drive the ratchet wheel 36 to rotate thus moving the piston 27 upward within the annular opening 7 as a result of the piston rod 26 being driven by the driving rod 22 thereby forcing some or all of the material 8 from the annular space 7 to the nozzle section 48. The pressure caused by the piston on the material 8 forces the material 8 through the nozzle part annular space 63 to the nozzle opening 66 and through the nozzle opening and pinhole 72 thereby depositing the material on the brush applicator top 68, as shown on Figs. 7 and 8. When sufficient material is on the brush applicator top, the user simply stops rotating the end cap 10. After use, the user replaces the cover 78 on the twist up pen type dispenser with brush applicator 1 which, as discussed above, seals the material from the external environment.
[0030] In an embodiment of the invention, as shown in Fig. 1 , the twist up pen type dispenser with brush applicator 1 is used as a portable tooth brush. Although the twist up pen type dispenser with brush application 1 is shown in Fig. 1 as a toothbrush, it should be understood that this is a depiction of one of many uses or embodiments for the twist up pen type dispenser with brush applicator. Another use, for example, can be as an applicator for darkening facial hair, such as a moustache, wherein the material 8 is hair darkener and can be applied to the moustache by depositing the hair darkener on the brush applicator top and then engaging the brush applicator top with the moustache, such as stroking the brush protrusions through the moustache hairs.
