Abstract
A liquid medium dispensing implement, to be operated by hand, has a hollow handle, forming a reservoir into which a liquid cleaning or other liquid application medium can be filled. A nipple extends from the end of the handle and contains a pinhole opening, through which the liquid flows from the handle reservoir. A separate and detachable sponge applicator snaps onto the end of the handle to form liquid tight seals between the applicator and the outside circumference of the handle, and between the nipple and an opening in the support piece of the applicator into which the nipple is inserted. The implement can be used effectively, cleanly, and without liquid waste for cleaning dishes and pots or for a variety of other applications in which liquid is to be applied to treat a surface.
