Description

本発明は、筆記具や化粧用具等の液体塗布具に用いられる筆先ユニット、及び、該筆先ユニットを用いた液体塗布具に関する。   The present invention relates to a brush tip unit used for a liquid applicator such as a writing tool or a cosmetic tool, and a liquid applicator using the brush tip unit.

毛筆タッチでありながら、液体に筆先を浸漬することなく液体を供給できるタイプの液体塗布具は、上市されてから現在に至るまで筆記具や化粧用具等に欠かせないものとして広く普及している。また、多様化する塗布具の用途や市場のニーズに合わせて、さまざまな筆先の構造や素材、液体供給方法や供給部分の構造、供給される液体の種類等の開発がなされている。   Liquid applicators of the type that can supply a liquid without immersing the brush tip in a liquid while being a brush touch have been widely spread as indispensable for writing instruments, cosmetic tools, and the like since they were put on the market. In addition, various brush tip structures and materials, liquid supply methods and supply part structures, types of liquids to be supplied, and the like have been developed in accordance with the diversifying use of applicators and market needs.

このような液体塗布具はきれいな線を意図したようにしなやかに描けることが重要視されるため、例えばPBT(ポリブチレンテレフタレート)やナイロン(登録商標)等のモノフィラメント(ブリッスル)を収束したもの等が筆先として用いられる。
液体に筆先を浸漬することなく液体を供給できるタイプの液体塗布具においては、液体は筆先の後端部分から供給されるが、その液体供給方法の一つに、筆先の後端部分を液体に直接接触させ、筆先自身が持つ毛細管力により筆先の先端部分に液体を供給するものがある。しかし、筆先はストレートなモノフィラメントであり、毛細管力は該モノフィラメント間の隙間のサイズにより調整可能ではあるもののその調整範囲は狭く、かつ、毛細管力は小さいため、この方法によって筆先の先端部分に十分に液体を供給することができないという問題がある。そこで、この方法により液体を供給する場合は、モノフィラメントの筆先が有する小さい毛細管力を補うために、液体の種類を限定したり、供給する液体を中綿に担持させずに直液としたりする等の工夫が必要となる。
他の液体供給方法の一つに、筆先の後端部に単なる穴を設け、圧力により該穴から液体又はゲル状の塗布液を筆先の先端部分に供給するものがある。しかし、この方法は圧力を発生させる機構(ノックや回転繰り出し等)が不可欠となり、塗布具として使い勝手に劣るという問題がある。
さらに他の液体供給方法の一つに、筆先の後端部に設けられた穴に中継芯を挿入する等により、中継芯の先端部分を筆先で覆い中継芯の後端部分を液体に浸漬させる構造をとって、該中継芯の毛細管力により液体を筆先の先端部分に供給するものがある。この方法によれば、圧力を発生させる機構は不要である上に、大きな毛細管力を有する中継芯により筆先の先端部分に液体を常時供給できる。このため、この中継芯による液体供給方法は、比較的使い勝手がよい方法の一つとして塗布具に広く応用されている(特許文献1等参照)。
Since it is important that such a liquid applicator can draw a clean line as intended, for example, there is a converged monofilament (bristle) such as PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) or nylon (registered trademark). Used as a brush tip.
In a liquid applicator that can supply liquid without immersing the tip of the brush in the liquid, the liquid is supplied from the rear end portion of the tip of the brush. There is one that directly contacts and supplies liquid to the tip of the brush tip by the capillary force of the brush tip itself. However, the brush tip is a straight monofilament, and the capillary force can be adjusted by the size of the gap between the monofilaments, but the adjustment range is narrow and the capillary force is small. There is a problem that the liquid cannot be supplied. Therefore, when supplying a liquid by this method, in order to compensate for the small capillary force of the monofilament brush tip, the type of the liquid is limited, or the liquid to be supplied is made a direct liquid without being carried on the batting. Ingenuity is required.
As another liquid supply method, there is a method in which a simple hole is provided in the rear end portion of the writing tip and a liquid or gel-like coating liquid is supplied from the hole to the tip portion of the writing tip by pressure. However, this method has a problem that a mechanism for generating pressure (knock, rotation feeding, etc.) is indispensable, and it is inferior in usability as an applicator.
Still another liquid supply method is to insert the relay core into the hole provided at the rear end of the brush tip, so that the tip of the relay core is covered with the brush tip and the rear end of the relay core is immersed in the liquid. Some have a structure and supply liquid to the tip of the brush tip by the capillary force of the relay core. According to this method, a mechanism for generating pressure is unnecessary, and liquid can be constantly supplied to the tip portion of the writing tip by the relay core having a large capillary force. For this reason, this liquid supply method using a relay core is widely applied to applicators as one of relatively easy-to-use methods (see Patent Document 1, etc.).

きれいな線を意図したようにしなやかに描けるような液体塗布具に、前述の中継芯による液体供給方法を用いる場合、できるだけ筆先の先端部に近い位置まで中継芯を挿入し、液体を筆先の先端部分に十分に供給する必要がある。しかしながら、従来の技術で製造した液体塗布具は、中継芯の硬さや剛性により筆先の弾力性を損なうことにより、また、筆記時に筆先の先端部の近くにまで挿入される中継芯が原因で筆先が割れてしまうことにより、意図したような線が描けず筆感が劣るという問題があった。
また、上記の問題の発生を回避し、筆先の先端部分に十分に液体を供給するため、及び筆先の筆感を高めるため、筆先の材料として、異形断面繊維等を数種類ブレンドし、最適な配合を検討する必要があった。
When using the above-mentioned liquid supply method with a relay core in a liquid applicator that can draw a clean line as intended, insert the relay core as close as possible to the tip of the brush tip and place the liquid at the tip of the brush tip. Need to supply enough. However, the liquid applicator manufactured by the conventional technology has a problem that the tip of the brush tip is inserted due to the loss of the elasticity of the writing tip due to the hardness and rigidity of the connecting tip, and because of the connecting lead inserted near the tip of the writing tip when writing. As a result of cracking, there was a problem that the intended line could not be drawn and the writing feeling was inferior.
Also, in order to avoid occurrence of the above problems, supply enough liquid to the tip of the brush tip, and improve the brush feel of the brush tip, blend several types of irregular cross-section fibers etc. It was necessary to consider.

本発明は、上記事情を鑑みたものであり、液体塗布具の筆先ユニットについて、筆先に先端部分を覆われて配置される中継芯の弾性荷重を調整することにより、かつ、該中継芯の筆先への挿入量を調整することにより、液体塗布具の筆感を高めることを課題とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and by adjusting the elastic load of the relay core arranged with the tip end covered with the tip of the brush tip unit of the liquid applicator, and the brush tip of the relay core It is an object to improve the writing feel of the liquid applicator by adjusting the amount of insertion into the liquid.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明の筆先ユニットは、先端部分がテーパー状に研磨された中継芯と、先端部分がテーパー加工されたモノフィラメントで構成され、前記中継芯の先端部分の外周を覆うように設けられた筆先と、前記筆先の穂先を除く先端部分の外周を覆うように設けられたマウスピースと、を備え、前記筆先の後端部に前記中継芯の先端部分を挿入可能な穴が設けられ、前記中継芯の弾性荷重y(g)が、前記中継芯の先端部からの変位量x(mm)に対し、y=10x2以下であり、前記マウスピースの穂先側先端部から前記筆先の先端部までの長さA(mm)に対する、前記マウスピースの穂先側先端部から前記中継芯の先端部までの長さB(mm)の比率(B/A)が、0.3以上であることを特徴とする。
さらに、本発明の液体塗布具は、上記筆先ユニットを用いることを特徴とする。
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the writing tip unit of the present invention is composed of a relay core whose tip portion is tapered and a monofilament whose tip portion is tapered, and covers the outer periphery of the tip portion of the relay core. And a mouthpiece provided so as to cover the outer periphery of the tip portion excluding the tip of the brush tip, and a hole through which the tip end portion of the relay core can be inserted into the rear end portion of the tip The elastic load y (g) of the relay core is y = 10 × 2 or less with respect to the displacement amount x (mm) from the distal end of the relay core, and from the tip end on the tip side of the mouthpiece The ratio (B / A) of the length B (mm) from the tip side of the mouthpiece to the tip of the relay core to the length A (mm) of the tip of the brush tip is 0.3. It is the above.
Furthermore, the liquid applicator of the present invention uses the above-mentioned brush tip unit.

本発明の筆先ユニットによれば、筆先の先端部分や先端部近傍にまで中継芯を挿入しても、筆先の弾力性を損なうことや、筆記時に中継芯が原因で筆先が割れることを抑えることが可能となる。このため、液体を筆先へ十分に供給することができ、筆感が優れた筆先ユニット及び液体塗布具を得ることができる。
つまり、規定された範囲内の弾性荷重を有する中継芯を選択し、かつ、その中継芯について筆先への挿入量を規定の比率に調整することにより、液体を筆先へ十分に供給でき筆感のコントロールも可能となる。それは、筆先の材料として、異形断面繊維などのブレンド比率を検討することなく十分な液体の供給や筆感のコントロールが可能となることを意味し、液体塗布具用の筆先ユニット(ハイブリッドブラシ)の設計が容易となり、製品や部品のコストを抑えることに繋がる。
According to the writing tip unit of the present invention, even if a relay core is inserted to the tip of the writing tip or near the tip, the elasticity of the writing tip is impaired, and the writing tip is prevented from cracking due to the connecting core at the time of writing. Is possible. For this reason, the liquid can be sufficiently supplied to the brush tip, and a brush tip unit and a liquid applicator excellent in writing feeling can be obtained.
In other words, by selecting a relay core having an elastic load within the specified range and adjusting the insertion amount of the relay core into the writing tip to a specified ratio, the liquid can be sufficiently supplied to the writing tip. Control is also possible. It means that it is possible to supply a sufficient amount of liquid and control the writing feel without considering the blend ratio of irregular cross-section fibers, etc. Design becomes easy and leads to cost reduction of products and parts.

The brush tip unit of the present invention includes a relay core, a brush tip, and a mouthpiece, and is schematically shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the writing tip unit will be described in detail.
In the specification of the present application, the “front end” refers to the most distal portion (position) of the tip of the liquid applicator in each part, and the “rear end” refers to the end of each part opposite to the tip of the liquid applicator. The end portion (position) is indicated, “tip portion” indicates the vicinity of the tip portion of each component, and “rear end portion” indicates the vicinity of the rear end portion of each component. The “front end side” indicates the tip side, and the “rear end side” indicates the side opposite to the tip.

(中継芯の構成)
本発明の中継芯は、筆先の後端部から液体を供給する、すなわち液体を筆先に「中継」するために設けられる芯であり、先端部分がテーパー状に研磨されている。中継芯の後端部分は液体に浸漬され、中継芯の有する毛細管力によって液体を先端側に吸い上げる。中継芯の先端部分は筆先に覆われ、毛細管力によって吸い上げられた液体を筆先に供給する。
筆先に覆われた中継芯の先端部分の後端側は、さらに後述するマウスピースで覆われる。マウスピースで覆われていない中継芯の先端部分は、筆先とともに穂先として筆記時に使用される。
(Construction of relay core)
The relay core of the present invention is a core provided to supply liquid from the rear end portion of the writing tip, that is, to “relay” the liquid to the writing tip, and the tip portion is polished in a tapered shape. The rear end portion of the relay core is immersed in the liquid, and the liquid is sucked up to the front end side by the capillary force of the relay core. The leading end portion of the relay core is covered with the brush tip, and the liquid sucked up by the capillary force is supplied to the brush tip.
The rear end side of the front end portion of the relay core covered with the brush tip is further covered with a mouthpiece described later. The tip of the relay core that is not covered with the mouthpiece is used as a tip along with the brush tip when writing.

図2Aに、本発明の中継芯の縦断面図の一例を示す。Lr1(mm)は中継芯の先端部から後端部までの長さすなわち中継芯の全長であり、Lr2(mm)は中継芯の先端部から筆先の後端部までの長さであり、B(mm)は中継芯の芯出長すなわちマウスピースの穂先側先端部から中継芯の先端部までの長さであり、Dr(mm)は中継芯の外径を示す。
図2Bに、本発明の中継芯の縦断面図の別の一例を示す。Lr1(mm)は中継芯の先端部から後端部までの長さすなわち中継芯の全長であり、Lr2(mm)は中継芯の先端部から筆先の後端部までの長さであり、B(mm)は中継芯の芯出長すなわち中継芯の先端部からマウスピースの穂先側先端部までの長さであり、Dr1(mm)は中継芯の先端側の外径であり、Dr2(mm)は中継芯の後端側の外径を示す。段落とし形状部2bを有するため、中継芯の先端側の外径Dr1は、後端側の外径Dr2より小さい。
FIG. 2A shows an example of a longitudinal sectional view of the relay core of the present invention. Lr 1 (mm) is the length from the leading end of the relay core to the rear end, that is, the total length of the relay core, and Lr 2 (mm) is the length from the leading end of the relay core to the rear end of the writing tip. , B (mm) is the centering length of the relay core, that is, the length from the tip of the mouthpiece to the tip of the relay core, and Dr (mm) indicates the outer diameter of the relay core.
FIG. 2B shows another example of a longitudinal sectional view of the relay core of the present invention. Lr 1 (mm) is the length from the leading end of the relay core to the rear end, that is, the total length of the relay core, and Lr 2 (mm) is the length from the leading end of the relay core to the rear end of the writing tip. , B (mm) is the centering length of the relay core, that is, the length from the tip of the relay core to the tip of the mouthpiece side, Dr 1 (mm) is the outer diameter of the tip of the relay core, Dr 2 (mm) indicates the outer diameter of the rear end side of the relay core. Since the section has the shape portion 2b, the outer diameter Dr 1 on the front end side of the relay core is smaller than the outer diameter Dr 2 on the rear end side.

中継芯の芯出長は、後述する筆先の筆出長に対し0.3以上になるように適宜調整される。たとえば、図2Aのように、中継芯に幅1mm程度、深さ0.1mm程度の溝部2aを設け、筆先の後端部に設けられたツバの内側と嵌め合わせることにより中継芯の芯出長の調整が可能である。
また、図2Bのように、中継芯の中央部に段落とし形状部2bを設け筆先の後端部を中継芯の段落とし形状部2bに当接させることによっても、中継芯の芯出長の調整が可能である。
なお、中継芯の芯出長と筆先の筆出長との関係は、後述する。
The centering length of the relay core is appropriately adjusted so as to be 0.3 or more with respect to the writing length of the brush tip described later. For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the relay core is provided with a groove portion 2a having a width of about 1 mm and a depth of about 0.1 mm, and is fitted to the inside of the flange provided at the rear end portion of the writing tip, thereby aligning the center length of the relay core. Can be adjusted.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the centering length of the relay core can also be increased by making the shape portion 2b a paragraph at the center of the relay core and making the rear end of the brush tip abutment with the shape portion 2b. Adjustment is possible.
The relationship between the centering length of the relay core and the writing length of the writing tip will be described later.

中継芯の先端側の外径Dr又はDr1は、中継芯の先端部分が筆先に覆われるように、かつ、筆先への液体供給がスムーズに行われるように適宜調整される。
外径Dr又はDr1が後述する筆先の根本径Dp1に対して25%より小さいと、液体供給がスムーズに行われず、筆記時にカスレ等が生じやすくなる。逆に75%より大きいと、筆先として必要な毛量が不足することから、意図したような線が書きにくく筆感が劣るようになる。このため、中継芯の先端側の外径Dr又はDr1は、好ましくは筆先の根本径に対して25〜75%の比率となるように調整される。
The outer diameter Dr or Dr 1 on the distal end side of the relay core is adjusted as appropriate so that the distal end portion of the relay core is covered with the writing tip and the liquid is smoothly supplied to the writing tip.
When the outer diameter Dr or Dr 1 is smaller than 25% with respect to the root diameter Dp 1 of the brush tip, which will be described later, liquid supply is not performed smoothly, and blurring or the like tends to occur during writing. On the other hand, if it is larger than 75%, the amount of hair necessary for the brush tip is insufficient, so that it is difficult to write the intended line and the writing feeling becomes inferior. For this reason, the outer diameter Dr or Dr 1 on the leading end side of the relay core is preferably adjusted to be a ratio of 25 to 75% with respect to the root diameter of the writing tip.

中継芯の素材には、筆先の有する弾力性が損なわれることを防ぐために、所定の範囲内の弾性荷重y(g)を有するものが使用される。
具体的には、弾性荷重y(g)が、中継芯の先端部からの変位量x(mm)に対し、y=10x2以下である中継芯が用いられる。弾性荷重がy=10x2より大きいと、液体供給をスムーズにするために筆先の先端部の極近くまで挿入された中継芯が筆先の弾力性を損ない、意図したような線が描けなくなるためである。
A material having an elastic load y (g) within a predetermined range is used for the material of the relay core in order to prevent the elasticity of the brush tip from being impaired.
Specifically, a relay core whose elastic load y (g) is y = 10 × 2 or less with respect to the displacement amount x (mm) from the tip of the relay core is used. In since the elastic force greater than y = 10x 2, the relay core is inserted to close proximity to the tip of the brush tip in order to smooth the liquid supply impair the elasticity of the brush tip, not draw a line as intended is there.

中継芯の素材は、前述した弾性荷重を有するものであれば特に制限はなく、任意に選択される。中継芯の素材の一例としては、ナイロン繊維、ポリエステル繊維、アクリル繊維、又は、これらの混合繊維が挙げられる。ポリマーの重合度や各ポリマー繊維の混合割合については、該弾性荷重を有するものであれば特に制限はない。また、中継芯の気孔率も、該弾性荷重を有するものであれば特に制限はなく、たとえば30〜90%程度のものが適宜選択される。   The material of the relay core is not particularly limited as long as it has the elastic load described above, and is arbitrarily selected. Examples of the material of the relay core include nylon fiber, polyester fiber, acrylic fiber, or a mixed fiber thereof. The degree of polymerization of the polymer and the mixing ratio of each polymer fiber are not particularly limited as long as it has the elastic load. Further, the porosity of the relay core is not particularly limited as long as it has the elastic load. For example, a porosity of about 30 to 90% is appropriately selected.

(筆先の構成)
本発明の筆先は、筆先の後端部から中継芯によって供給される液体を用い、筆先の先端部分の穂先で筆記するために設けられる。穂先の後端部は、筆先の穂先を除く部分の外周を覆うマウスピースの先端部の位置により画定される。筆先の先端部分は、テーパー加工されたモノフィラメントで構成される。
筆先が中継芯の先端部分の外周を覆う構造にするため、たとえば中継芯を筆先に挿入する方法が取られる。中継芯を筆先に挿入しやすくするために、好ましくは筆先の後端部に穴が設けられる。該穴の径は、中継芯の先端側の外径と同じか、やや小さい。中継芯の弾力により挿入可能であれば、筆先の穴の径が中継芯の先端側の外径よりもやや小さくてもよい。
また、筆先の穂先を除く部分の外周を覆うマウスピースを筆先の後端部分に位置ずれしないように配置するために、好ましくは筆先の後端部にツバ部が設けられる。該ツバ部はマウスピースの筆先後端固定部に当接し、ツバ部の外径は筆先の根本径より大きい。
該穴と該ツバ部は、たとえば、先端部分がテーパー加工されたモノフィラメントについて、根本径と同じ外径を有するモノフィラメントの束を所定の長さ(筆先の全長よりやや長め)に後端部で切断し、切断面を加熱により溶着し、溶着時にツバ部を形成し、溶着された切断面の中央部を筆先の該穴の径と同じ径を有する円形状にくり抜き、くり抜いた切断面の中央部に溶着しているモノフィラメントごと取り出して除去することにより、設けることができる。
(Composition of the brush tip)
The writing tip of the present invention is provided for writing at the tip of the tip of the writing tip using the liquid supplied from the trailing end of the writing tip by the relay core. The rear end of the tip is defined by the position of the tip of the mouthpiece that covers the outer periphery of the portion excluding the tip of the brush tip. The tip of the brush tip is formed of a monofilament that is tapered.
In order to make the brush tip cover the outer periphery of the leading end portion of the relay core, for example, a method of inserting the relay core into the brush tip is taken. In order to facilitate the insertion of the relay core into the writing tip, a hole is preferably provided in the rear end portion of the writing tip. The diameter of the hole is the same as or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the leading end side of the relay core. As long as insertion is possible by the elasticity of the relay core, the diameter of the hole at the tip of the brush may be slightly smaller than the outer diameter on the tip side of the relay core.
Moreover, in order to arrange the mouthpiece covering the outer periphery of the portion excluding the tip of the brush tip so as not to be displaced in the rear end portion of the brush tip, a brim portion is preferably provided at the rear end portion of the brush tip. The brim portion is in contact with the tip rear end fixing portion of the mouthpiece, and the outer diameter of the brim portion is larger than the root diameter of the nib.
For the monofilament with the tip portion tapered, for example, the hole and the flange portion cut a bundle of monofilaments having the same outer diameter as the root diameter to a predetermined length (slightly longer than the full length of the brush tip) at the rear end. Then, the cut surface is welded by heating, a flange is formed at the time of welding, and the central portion of the welded cut surface is cut into a circular shape having the same diameter as the diameter of the hole of the brush tip, and the central portion of the cut cut surface It can be provided by taking out and removing the monofilaments welded to each other.

図3に、本発明の筆先の縦断面図の一例を示す。
Lp1(mm)は筆先の先端部から後端部までの長さすなわち筆先の全長であり、A(mm)は筆先の筆出長すなわち穂先の長さすなわちマウスピースの穂先側先端部から筆先の先端部までの長さであり、Dp1(mm)は筆先の後端部分(ただし後端部を除く)の外径すなわち筆先の根本径であり、Dp2(mm)は筆先の後端部に設けられたツバ部3aの外径であり、Dp3(mm)は筆先の後端部に設けられた穴の径を示す。
In FIG. 3, an example of the longitudinal cross-sectional view of the brush tip of this invention is shown.
Lp 1 (mm) is the length from the tip of the brush tip to the rear edge, that is, the total length of the brush tip, and A (mm) is the writing length of the brush tip, ie, the tip length, ie, the tip of the mouthpiece from the tip of the tip. Dp 1 (mm) is the outer diameter of the trailing edge of the brush tip (excluding the trailing edge), that is, the root diameter of the brush tip, and Dp 2 (mm) is the trailing edge of the brush tip. Dp 3 (mm) indicates the diameter of the hole provided in the rear end portion of the writing tip.

筆先の筆出長Aは、筆記可能な範囲であれば特に制限はないが、筆出長が4mm未満であると筆記時にマウスピースの穂先側先端部が被筆記物の紙や肌等と接触しやすくなり筆感が劣り、一方、筆出長が20mmを超えると筆先としてのバランスが悪くなり使用感が劣るため、4〜20mmに調整されることが好ましい。
なお、中継芯の芯出長と筆先の筆出長との関係は、後述する。
The writing length A of the writing tip is not particularly limited as long as it can be written, but if the writing length is less than 4 mm, the tip of the tip of the mouthpiece contacts the paper or skin of the writing object when writing. However, when the writing length exceeds 20 mm, the balance as the brush tip is deteriorated and the feeling of use is inferior, so that it is preferably adjusted to 4 to 20 mm.
The relationship between the centering length of the relay core and the writing length of the writing tip will be described later.

筆先の根本径Dp1は、本筆先ユニットが用いられる液体塗布具の用途や目的により、適宜設定される。筆先の根本径が1.5mmより小さいと、中継芯を覆うことが難しくなり、根本径が6.0mmより大きいと、筆先としてのバランスが悪くなり使用感が劣る筆先ユニットとなる。このため、筆先の根本径Dp1は、1.5〜6.0mmの範囲に設定される。 The root diameter Dp 1 of the brush tip is appropriately set depending on the use and purpose of the liquid applicator in which the brush tip unit is used. When the root diameter of the brush tip is smaller than 1.5 mm, it becomes difficult to cover the relay core. When the root diameter is larger than 6.0 mm, the brush tip becomes unbalanced and the brush tip unit is inferior in usability. For this reason, the root diameter Dp 1 of the brush tip is set in a range of 1.5 to 6.0 mm.

筆先の穴の径Dp3は、上述のとおり、中継芯の先端側の外径Dr又はDr1と同じか、やや小さい。中継芯の弾力により挿入可能であれば、筆先の穴の径が中継芯の先端側の外径よりもやや小さくてもよい。 Diameter Dp 3 holes in the brush tip, as described above, the same as the outer diameter Dr and Dr 1 of the distal end side of the relay core, slightly smaller. As long as insertion is possible by the elasticity of the relay core, the diameter of the hole at the tip of the brush may be slightly smaller than the outer diameter on the tip side of the relay core.

筆先のツバ部の外径Dp2は、後述するマウスピースの筆先後端固定部4aを当接可能な大きさとなるように、かつ、本筆先ユニットを用いる液体塗布具の太さを考慮し塗布具の内部に収まるように、設定される。 Outer diameter Dp 2 of the flange portion of the brush tip is such that the brush tip rear fixing portion 4a of the contactable size of the mouthpiece to be described later, and, taking into account the thickness of the liquid applicator using the brush tip unit coating It is set to fit inside the tool.

筆先の素材は、テーパー加工されたモノフィラメントであれば特に制限はなく、任意に選択される。筆先の素材の一例としては、PBT(ポリブチレンテレフタレート)製テーパーフィラメント、ナイロン製テーパーフィラメント、PPS(ポリフェニレンサルファイド)製テーパーフィラメント、フッ素樹脂製テーパーフィラメント等が挙げられる。中でも汎用性の面から、PBT(ポリブチレンテレフタレート)製テーパーフィラメント、ナイロン製テーパーフィラメントが好ましい。   The material of the brush tip is not particularly limited as long as it is a monofilament that is tapered, and is arbitrarily selected. Examples of the material of the brush tip include a PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) taper filament, a nylon taper filament, a PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) taper filament, and a fluororesin taper filament. Among these, from the viewpoint of versatility, a tapered filament made of PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) and a tapered filament made of nylon are preferable.

筆先のモノフィラメントの径は、本筆先ユニットが用いられる液体塗布具の用途や目的により、適宜設定される。筆感や肌触りの面から0.05〜0.30mmの範囲が好ましく、0.10〜0.20mmの範囲がより好ましい。   The diameter of the monofilament at the writing tip is appropriately set depending on the application and purpose of the liquid applicator used with the writing tip unit. The range of 0.05-0.30 mm is preferable from the surface of writing feeling and touch, and the range of 0.10-0.20 mm is more preferable.
