An applicator, a paint supply apparatus, and a paint supply method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
7 and 8 is a paint supply device, and the paint supply device K includes a container (for example, a commercially available plastic bottle) 1 containing a liquid paint, and an applicator 2 attached to the container 1. Have

The applicator 2 has an opening 21a (FIGS. 5 and 6) facing the inside of the container 1, and has an internal thread 21b that is screwed into an external thread 1a (FIG. 8) provided at the distal end of the container 1. A main body 21, a passage 22 a that is connected to the main body 21, communicates with the opening 21 a and guides the liquid paint in the container 1, and has a discharge port 22 b, and the passage body And an applicator member 23 attached to 22.
The main body 21 and the passage body 22 are integrally formed of synthetic resin.

The distal end portion 221 of the passage body 22 is provided in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the passage 22a and has a flat surface (for example, a quadrangle may be used, but a triangle may be used).
The application member 23 is attached to this flat surface. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, flat surfaces such as wooden boards and boxes can be simply and quickly painted.

    Therefore, according to the applicator 2 (paint supply device K, paint supply method) described above, the main body 21 is attached to the male screw portion 1a of the container 1 containing the liquid paint without applying paint to the brush as in the conventional case. The female threaded portion 21a can be easily screwed in and attached, and the coating force can be applied with an appropriate coating amount while adjusting the pressing force of the container 1 (pressing the container 1 by hand). Tool 2 (paint supply device K, paint supply method) can be obtained.

The application member 23 may be a single layer, but at least a first layer (for example, a sponge) 231 and a second layer (for example, a sponge, for example) from the flat surface of the distal end portion 221 of the passage body 22 outward. The first layer 231 is made of a material softer than the second layer 232 which is the outermost layer.
This is because the liquid paint from the container 1 is supplied to the second layer 232 which is the outermost layer while being included in the first layer 231, and a flat surface such as a wooden board or box is painted to some extent uniformly. is there.

The tip portion 221 of the passage body 22 of the embodiment described in FIGS. 1 to 8 is provided in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the passage 22a. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As shown in FIGS. 9 to 17, the distal end portion 221 of the passage body 22 may be a flat flat body along the longitudinal direction of the passage 22 a.
When the distal end 221 of the passage body 22 is a flat body, the application member 23 is folded back from one surface 22A of the flat body to the other surface 22B of the flat body and attached to the flat body ( (See FIG. 13).
This is to make it easier to paint the corners (FIG. 16) of the small box and the small parts of the small parts with the part 23 A on the front side where the application member 23 is folded.
For example, in the case of a part to be coated having a step or unevenness as shown in FIG. 15, the application member 23 is preferably a soft sponge. In the case of a small box corner or a small part as shown in FIG. Is preferably a hard non-woven fabric. The passage body 22 is connected to the main body 21 and has a passage 22a that communicates with the opening 21a and guides the liquid paint in the container 1 in the same manner as the embodiment described in FIGS. And a discharge port 22b.

Next, an application tool (paint supply device K, paint supply method) of another embodiment different from the application tool (paint supply device K, paint supply method) of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. To do.
The paint supply device K includes a container (for example, a commercially available plastic bottle) 1 that stores a liquid paint, and an applicator 2 that is attached to the container 1, as in the above-described embodiment.

The applicator 2 has an opening 21 a (FIGS. 18 and 19) facing the inside of the container 1, and a main body 21 having a female screw part 21 b that is screwed into a male screw part 1 a provided at the tip of the container 1. The passage 21 is connected to the main body 21 and communicates with the opening 21a to guide the liquid paint in the container 1 (a passage communicating the opening 21a shown in FIG. 23 and the discharge port 22b shown in FIG. 24). In addition, a passage body 22 provided with a discharge port 22b and an application member 23 attached to the passage body 22 are provided.
The main body 21 and the passage body 22 are integrally formed of synthetic resin.

    The front end portion 221 of the passage body 22 is provided in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the passage 22 a, and an application member (for example, a brush) 23 is attached to the front end portion 221 of the passage body 22.

    Therefore, according to the above-described paint supply device K (paint supply method), the female screw portion 21a of the main body 21 can be connected to the male screw portion 1a of the container 1 containing the liquid paint without applying paint to the brushes one by one. Since the liquid paint in the container 1 is supplied to the application member 23 by pressing the container 1 by hand, the container 1 is coated with an appropriate application amount while adjusting the pressing force of the container 1. Thus, it is possible to obtain a paint supply device K that is easy to use.

Next, another application tool (paint supply device K, paint supply method) different from the application tool (paint supply apparatus K, paint supply method) of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. To do.
The paint supply device K includes a container (for example, a commercially available plastic bottle) 1 that stores a liquid paint, and an applicator 2 that is attached to the container 1, as in the above-described embodiment.
The applicator 2 has an opening 21 a (FIG. 29) facing the inside of the container 1, and has a main body 21 having a female screw part 21 b that is screwed into a male screw part 1 a provided at the tip of the container 1.
The passage body 22 is connected to the main body 21, has a passage 22a that communicates with the opening 21a and guides the liquid paint in the container 1, and includes a discharge port 22b.

    26 shown in FIG. 26 is a support member connected to the passage body 22, and the support member 25 is attached with a rotating body 26 that is rotatably supported. An application member 23 is attached to the outer periphery of the rotating body 26. And the discharge port 22b of the front-end | tip of the channel | path body 22 faces the application member 23 (FIG. 29).

    Therefore, according to the paint supply device K (paint supply method) shown in FIGS. 26 to 29, the main body is attached to the male screw portion 1a of the container 1 containing the liquid paint without applying paint to the brush as in the prior art. Thus, it is possible to obtain a paint supply device K that is easy to use and can be easily attached by screwing the female thread portion 21b of the container 21 so that coating can be performed with an appropriate coating amount while adjusting the pressing force of the container 1.
