English term or phrase: Dry Handle Swab

DRY HANDLE SWAB ASSEMBLY
Abstract: An improved swab applicator is provided including a swab (3) connected to an elongate stick (5). The swab applicator further includes a sleeve (1) encapsulating the swab and stick including a handle portion (9), receptacle portion (17)and transition portion (13). The handle portion is preferably hollow and cylindrical in shape extending a substantial part around the length of the stick, while the receptacle portion of the sleeve is also hollow and cylindrically shaped having a substantially greater cross section than the handle portion. Meanwhile, the transition portion is preferably hollow and fristoconically shaped to connect the handle portion to the receptacle portion of the sleeve. The transition portion is substantially non-deformable when the receptacle portion of the sleeve is compressed creating a significant level of sheer stress to be imparted between the receptacle portion and transition portion of the sleeve causing the receptacle portion to sever from the rest of the sleeve.
