An application apparatus for facilitating the application of a substance on an application location by a substance transfer element includes a base body, a first receptacle supported on the base body for retaining therein a fluid which can react with another material composition to form the substance to be applied, and a second receptacle supported on the base body. The second receptacle receives and retains therein the substance transfer element during stockage of the application apparatus. During a substance applying use, the substance transfer element is removed from the second receptacle with the material composition releasably retained on the substance transfer element, inserted into the first receptacle for reactive contact of the material composition with the fluid into the first receptacle to form the substance to be applied, removed from the first receptacle, and put in contact with the application location such that the substance is transferred to the application location.

The application apparatus (10) according to claim 4, wherein the base body (12) includes a base plate (18) on which the socket (16) is mounted, the base plate (18) having a layout extent, as viewed in the direction perpendicular to the height of the socket (16), substantially greater than the layout extent of the socket (16), the layout extent of the base plate (18) being formed by a projection of the base plate (18).7. The application apparatus (10) according to claim 6, wherein the projection of the base plate (18) is configured as a hand grippable portion and includes a recess.8. The application apparatus (10) according to claim 4, wherein a fluid capture rim (20) encircles the socket (16) for capturing fluid spillage.9. The application apparatus (10) according to claim 4, wherein the base body (12) includes a base plate (18) on which the socket (16) is mounted, the base plate (18) having a height of between 1 and 10 mm and die socket (16) having a height of between 15 and 60 mm.10. The application apparatus (10) according to claim 4, wherein the base body (12) includes a base plate (18) on which the socket (16) is mounted and the respective access apertures of the first receptacle (24) and the second receptacle (26) are at different heights relative to one another.11. The application apparatus (10) according to claim 4, wherein the base body (12) includes a base plate (18) on which the socket (16) is mounted and the applicator (14) includes a widened portion (36) supported in the access aperture of the second receptacle (26) on the side of the socket (16) opposite to the base plate (18).12. The application apparatus (10) according to claim 11, wherein the diameter of the access aperture of the second receptacle (26) substantially corresponds to the respective diameter of the substance transfer element (42) at the region of the substance transfer clement (42) in the direction of the working end (38) at which the widened portion (36) is located.13. The application apparatus (10) according to claim 4, wherein the first receptacle (24) includes an insert (28) forming the fluid retaining volume of the first receptacle (24) and a removable cover foil (32) for covering the access aperture of the first receptacle (24), the cover foil (32) being secured to the access aperture of the first receptacle (24) by a welded seam which encircles the access aperture.14. The application apparatus (10) according to claim 13, wherein the cover foil (32) includes a latch (34) operable to be hand-gripped for pulling the cover foil (32) to open the access aperture of the first receptacle (24), the latch (34) projecting laterally beyond first receptacle preferably, projecting laterally beyond the socket (16).15. The application apparatus (10) according to claim 1, wherein the second receptacle (26) is substantially in the configuration of a blind hole.16. The application apparatus (10) according to claim 1, wherein the first receptacle has a closed lower end which is rounded.17. The application apparatus (10) according to claim 1, wherein the first receptacle (24) has a height to diameter relationship of more than 1.5:1.18. The applicator apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the elongated applicator is provided with a widened element and a neck (40) located between the gripping end (44) and the working end (38), the neck having an outer diameter which fits exactly flush in the second receptacle (26) and which, upon insertion of the applicator (14) into the second receptacle (26), cooperates with the widened element (36) to seal off the upper end of the second receptacle (26).
