Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid applicator, and is particularly suitable for application when a coating liquid such as mascara or hair dyeing liquid is applied to the application target hair, such as a mascara brush or a hair dyeing brush.

  Conventionally, as this type of liquid applicator, for example, as a mascara brush, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a device that applies mascara attached to a brush to eyelashes is used.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the liquid applicator R1 as a mascara brush is inserted and removed from a brush body R6 provided at the tip of a shaft R5 fixed to a cap R4 from an outlet R3 of a coating liquid container R2. The brush body R6 is dipped in a mascara as a coating solution and taken out to the outside.

  A cylindrical ironing member R7 is provided on the inner side of the outlet R3. When the brush body R6 is pulled out from the outlet R3, the excess coating liquid adhering to the periphery of the brush body R6 is reduced to a small inner diameter. By applying the ironing member R7, the coating liquid is prevented from dropping from the brush bristle material R6A and the shaft R5 of the brush body R6 taken out to the outside.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 11, the two wire rods 100 are twisted while the brush body is sandwiched between the two stainless steel wire rods 100 so as to arrange a large number of brush fiber materials in the extending direction. In some cases, the brush bristle material 102 is planted so that the brush bristle material 102 protrudes linearly around the core material 101 composed of two twisted wire rods 100.
