The patent US12059066B2 describes a device designed for massaging and dispensing cream-type fluids. Central to the device is a massage applicator featuring an end wall with a massage region that includes massage elevations. The end wall is equipped with at least one outlet channel for fluid dispensing. A hinged lid, which can pivot between a closed state that covers the massage region and an open state that exposes it, is integrated into the design. The lid is secured in the open position by latching edges that engage when the lid is opened, ensuring it remains stable during use. The device also includes a fluid reservoir for storing the cream-type fluid prior to dispensing.

Further enhancements to the device include a child safety mechanism that locks the hinged lid in the closed position, requiring simultaneous pressure on two release surfaces for opening. The design incorporates multiple connecting bridges that allow for elastic elongation, ensuring durability and functionality. Additionally, the device features an outlet valve and a blocking valve that work in tandem to control fluid flow, with the outlet valve opening under excess pressure. The construction materials, such as polypropylene for the hinged lid, contribute to the device's overall effectiveness and safety. This innovative design aims to provide a user-friendly experience while ensuring the efficient application of cream-type fluids.
