  The applicator according to the embodiment can be used in various ways, such as a cosmetic product using a cosmetic as an application, a marker on a paper surface, or a device.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the applicator according to the first embodiment is an applicator having a bag portion 10 and an applicator portion 12. The applicator portion 12 has rigidity that can be gripped by a rear portion 12 b, and a front portion 12 a. Is in contact with the target part (skin or hair) to apply the applied material. The bag portion 10 has an internal space of two storage chambers 16 a and 16 b (an example of two or more storage chambers) partitioned by the partition structure 14.

  Application in which an application is stored in one storage chamber (16b) (an example of at least one storage chamber), and the application section 12 is stored across two storage chambers 16a and 16b sandwiching the partition structure 14 It is a tool.

  In the applicator, one end (front portion 12a) of the applicator 12 is in the storage chamber 16a, and there is a portion that does not come into direct contact with the storage chamber 16b of the storage space for the applied product.

  In other words, the applied material is stored in the storage space of one storage chamber 16b, and the application unit 12 is disposed so as to penetrate from the one storage chamber 16b to the other storage chamber 16a. Of course, the applied material is stored in one or both of the two storage chambers 16a and 16b, and another storage chamber other than the two storage chambers 16a and 16b is provided, and an application unit 12 may be accommodated. Moreover, you may put tools, such as a comb (comb) and a patch, in another accommodation chamber.

  The bag portion 10 is formed by laminating or welding the periphery of the stacked film-like body and the partition structure 14 in a band-shaped region to form the respective storage chambers 16a and 16b. The resinous film-like body may be any material that can prevent the leakage and volatilization of the coated material, for example, a multilayer laminate film, a single layer film, etc., and the material of each layer is polyethylene film, polypropylene film, polyethylene terephthalate. A film can be used. Preferably, a mixed film of polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate is used for the base layer, a polypropylene film is used for the welding layer on the coating solution side and the outer printed layer, and the deposited layer is interposed between the base layer and the welded layer, and between the base layer and the printed layer. For this, a film-like body having a five-layer structure using a film in which polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate are mixed is used.
