Abstract

A dispenser for a flowable substance more viscous than water includes an applicator member and a cover member that can be separated for use and rejoined for storage. The applicator member has an applicator tip to be used for application purposes, the cover member has a hollow interior that extends to an open end, which open end is dimensioned and arranged to receive the applicator tip, and the cover member contains a supply of the substance and an extrusion mechanism for extruding an amount of the substance toward the open end. The extrusion mechanism includes components for enabling a user to operate the extrusion mechanism by rotating the applicator member relative to the cover member while the applicator tip is within the open end.
