Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0712592A1] The present invention relates to a roll-on applicator (10) which prevents leakage or spillage without the need of the cooperation of a cap. This container comprises a ball (3) and a flexible and resilient support means (4) for said ball. Said flexible and resilient support means is such to urge said ball against said dispensing opening, achieving a leak-tight engagement between said ball and said dispensing opening. Furthermore, said flexible and resilient support means can be resiliently deformed by an external force acting on said ball to disengage said leak-tight engagement between said ball and said dispensing opening, allowing said contained product to be spread by said ball. <IMAGE>
