However, when the conventional applicator 10 is used for repairing a wound or correcting a character, the lid 18 must be removed from the container body 12 without fail. Opening 1 of opened container body 12
4, there is a possibility that the coating liquid in the container body 12 may spill. In addition, since the volatile solvent such as the thinner contained in the coating liquid easily evaporates from the opened opening 14 each time the liquid is used, there is a disadvantage that the drying and deterioration of the coating liquid is accelerated.

On the other hand, recently, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a needle-shaped head is provided on the lid 18 so that
In some cases, the coating liquid discharged through the head can be used to repair flaws and correct characters without opening the cover 18 from the position 2. However, this applicator is useful when the area to be corrected is small, such as correction of small characters or a small number of characters, but is useful when the range to be corrected is large, such as repairing a vehicle scratch. Is inconvenient because it takes a lot of time to correct.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a simple applicator which can appropriately and easily perform correction in accordance with the range of a correction range while minimizing drying of a coating solution. It is in.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of a simple applicator according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the simple applicator according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the simple applicator of FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of the simple applicator, and FIG. FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing only a coupling state of a brush and a coating head separately.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the simple applicator 100 according to the present invention has a container body 110. The container body 110 is for storing a coating liquid (not shown), and has a narrow opening 112 at an upper end. As the coating liquid, a paint, a correction liquid, or the like is used.

The container body 110 is preferably made of elastic plastic so that it can be easily compressed by hand. Further, as shown in the drawing, the upper end of the container body 110 is formed in a circular cross section having a smaller cross-sectional area than its lower side, and a male screw 115 is formed on the outer peripheral surface so that the lid 120 can be easily attached and detached. Preferably, a fastening portion 114 is provided. When the cross-sectional shape of the container body 110 is elliptical as shown in the drawing, it is preferable to provide the pressing portion 118 on one side in the long axis direction. That is, when the pressing portion 118 is pressed, the container main body 110 expands in the short axis direction to increase its internal volume, and accordingly, air flows into the inside. When the pressed state is released in a state where the air flows, the internal pressure is increased due to the reduction of the internal volume.

When an application liquid is to be applied using the application head 130, the internal pressure is increased as described above, so that the application liquid can flow smoothly without strongly pressing the container body 110. become. A packing 119 is provided in the opening 112 of the container body 110. The packing 119 has a hollow, substantially cylindrical shape provided with a locking jaw 119a at an upper end portion, thereby preventing leakage of the coating liquid. Needless to say, the packing 119 is not necessarily required when the connecting portion between the container body 110 and the lid 120 is formed precisely so that the coating liquid does not leak. In addition, a circular groove 111 for inserting the cover 150 at the time of use is provided at a lower end of the container body 110.

A lid 120 is shown above the container body 110. The lid 120 is a portion detachably attached to the fastening portion 114 near the opening 112, and it is preferable that a female screw 122 corresponding to a male screw constituting the fastening portion 114 is formed on the inner peripheral surface thereof. Also, the lid 120
Is a protruding portion 12 protruding so as to narrow toward the distal end side.
4 is provided. Inside the protruding portion 124, an outflow hole 126 for the coating solution is provided, and the outflow hole 126 is provided with the opening 11 when the lid 130 is attached to the container main body 110.
Communicate with 2.

As shown, a brush 140 is connected to the lid 120. The connection state of the brush 140 is shown in detail in FIG. The brush 140 includes a shaft 142 that extends long downward and a brush tip 144 provided at a lower end thereof. The upper end of the shaft 142 is provided with at least one communication hole 145 and has a substantially cylindrical shape.
A fixing portion 146 that is press-fitted and fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the lid 120 is integrally formed. Of course, the brush 140 can be fixed to the lid 120 in various different forms. That is, any structure may be used as long as the coating liquid contained in the container body 110 can flow out to the outflow hole 126 side in a state where the brush 140 is coupled to the lid 120.

In addition, the simple applicator 100 has an outlet 126
And a coating head 130 coupled to the head. The coating head 130 allows a coating liquid such as a paint contained in the container body 110 to flow out only when necessary. The diameter of the tip of the outflow hole 126 is reduced, and when the cover 150 is attached, the outflow hole 12
When the coating head 6 is closed, the coating head 130 may not be provided, but is not desirable. In other words, the application head 130 is for adjusting the amount of outflow of the application liquid, and as can be seen from FIG. 5, a hollow body 132 having an application hole 131 provided therein, and The needle 134 is provided so as to be freely movable and has a tip protruding to the outside. The needle 134 opens and closes the application hole 131 in accordance with the degree of movement, and a spring 136 elastically supports and urges the needle 134 outward.

The simple applicator 100 has a cover 150. The cover 150 is provided with the protrusion 1 of the lid 120.
It is attached so as to cover the coating head 24 to protect the coating head 130 and to prevent the flowing out coating liquid and the like from adhering to unnecessary parts. A clip 152 for facilitating carrying is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cover 150.

The simple applicator 1 of the present invention shown in FIGS.
When using 00, when the range to be corrected is relatively large, for example, when correcting an erroneous part such as a character or a picture on the ground, the lid 120 is removed and the brush 140 is used to easily and quickly. Corrections can be made. In this case, a correction liquid is used as a coating liquid.

Conversely, when the correction range is small or narrow, for example, to correct a single character on the ground or to repair a small, small area scratch on a vehicle, the application head 130 is used. Accordingly, the coating liquid can be more effectively applied while preventing the coating liquid from protruding to the adjacent portion. That is, when correcting a small correction portion, when the user grasps the container body 110 and presses the tip of the coating head 130 projecting outward to the correction portion, the needle 134 is pushed inward. Accordingly, the application hole 13 closed by the needle 134
By opening 1, the application liquid in the container body 110 can be finely applied to the corrected portion. After the application of the application liquid is completed, when the simple application tool 100 is separated from the surface of the correction portion, the spring 136 pushes the needle 134 outward. Accordingly, the needle 134 is
31 is completely closed to prevent the coating liquid from flowing out further. In the case of repairing or correcting a scratch on a vehicle, a coating liquid such as a paint made of a material different from that used when correcting characters or the like is used.

The simple applicator 100 according to the present invention contains a coating liquid of a material suitable for the user so that the user can select and use it according to each application.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing another example of the lid, the brush and the coating head. As shown, a brush 140 is connected to the lid 120. The brush 140 includes a shaft 142 that extends long downward and a brush tip 144 provided at a lower end of the shaft 142. The shaft 142 is preferably a hollow pipe as shown in the figure.
A communication hole 145a is preferably provided at the upper end so that the coating liquid can be easily supplied to the outflow hole 126 when the container body 110 is turned upside down. Lid 120
A communication hole 123a having a form corresponding to the communication hole 145a is also provided on the side surface of the inwardly protruding portion 123. Lid 120
Depending on the configuration of the connecting portion between the shaft 120 and the shaft 142, the communication hole may be provided in only one of the inwardly protruding portion 123 of the lid 120 and the shaft 142. This is because it suffices if the coating liquid can be supplied to the outflow holes 126. For example, when the shaft 142 is
23, the shaft 142 need not be hollow, and the shaft 142 has a hollow pipe shape, and a communication hole 145a provided in the shaft 142 is disposed below the inwardly protruding portion 123. In this case, the communication hole 123 a may not be provided in the inwardly protruding portion 123.

A coating head 130 is provided at the tip of the outflow hole 126 of the projection 124 of the lid 120. The coating head 130 allows the coating liquid to flow out only when the coating liquid in the container body 110 is necessary. In this example, the spring 136 and the needle 134 shown in FIG. 5 are omitted, and the ball 134a is replaced by a ball 134a. Is provided.
This ball 134a is applied to the coating hole 131 in the hollow body 132.
And is rotatably provided in a state of being partially projected to the outside. Therefore, the application liquid can be finely applied to the repaired portion by dragging the simple applicator 100 while the ball 134a is in contact with the repaired portion.

FIG. 7 shows a simple applicator according to another embodiment of the present invention. This simple applicator 200 is shown in FIGS.
Similar to the simple applicator 100 shown in FIG. 5, a container main body 210 containing an application liquid, an application head 230 and a brush 2
A cover 220 provided with the cover 40 and a cover 250 covering the cover 220
And the outer shape of the simple applicator 10
It is formed so as to be different from 0. Its composition is
It is the same as the simple applicator 100. Therefore, according to the simple applicator 200, the same action and effect as those of the simple applicator 100 can be obtained, and a different appearance and beauty can be obtained. It is needless to say that a pattern (not shown) may be appropriately added to the outer surface of the container main body 210 or the like in order to obtain this effect better.

[0025]

As described above, according to the present invention, the brush or the coating head can be selectively used according to the width of the correction range, and the correction can be performed efficiently and effectively. be able to. In addition, since the number of times of opening the lid can be relatively reduced as compared with the case where only a brush is used, the amount of evaporation of a volatile solvent such as a thinner or a volatile oil is reduced, so that drying and deterioration of the coating liquid are prevented. In addition to being able to be minimized, a narrow correction portion can be easily and finely corrected using the coating head. In addition, compared with the case where only the coating head is used, there is an effect that a wide correction range can be quickly corrected by the brush.
