Abstract (en)

[origin: US7037020B2] A device for moistening fluid-absorbing media for body-hygiene or care, such as toilet paper, cotton balls, cleaning tissues, cotton pads, and fleece, includes a system reservoir for storing fluid for moistening the media and a stroke valve unit attached to the system reservoir, which gives off liquid or a liquid mist by its nozzle. A detachable distribution unit is attached to the valve unit and includes a distribution plate or funnel unit with a capillary unit. The nozzle is positioned in a recess in the bottom of the distribution plate or funnel unit. The fluid-absorbing media is placed on the capillary unit to initiate a stroke movement of the valve unit, whereby the liquid or liquid mist released through the stroke movement is at least partially taken up by the distribution unit through a capillary effect. The liquid or liquid mist then passes from the distribution unit to the fluid-absorbing media via the "blotting-paper" principle.
