(under the class definition) Dispensers having means which separate from a supply a layer of material which adheres to a
surface exposed thereto, the layer being removed from such surface for use by a separate instrument, not claimed, as a brush, sponge, the fingers, etc.
(1) Note. This group is analogous to traps, and differs therefrom in having no means to confine the material, which remains separated from the source material merely by adhesion to the surface which has been exposed to it.
