CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not ApplicableSTATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not ApplicableDESCRIPTION OF ATTACHED APPENDIX[0003]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]This invention relates generally to the field of liquid applicator devices and more specifically to a hand held lotion applicator.[0005]From time to time it may be necessary for a person to apply lotion to a hard to reach area of the body, for example the middle of one's back. Since it is hard for a person to reach that area, it would be helpful to have an applicator that includes an elongate handle with a lotion application head at one end.A number of lotion applicators have been designed, and several have been manufactured for just such a purpose.[0006]However, there is a deficiency in the prior technology in that the application head must be cleaned after each use. Some applicators do provide additional applicator pads where a used pad is peeled off of the ...
