  A coil spring 30 is disposed in the middle cap 26b, and the inner cap 26a is urged backward by the elastic force of the coil spring 30.

  Further, the outer cap 26c has a screw (female screw) formed on the inner surface of the rear end portion on the container 10 side, and a screw (male screw) ahead of the flange 20a of the container body 20 is screwed to the outer cap 26c. Is a structure to be screwed. The cap 26 is configured to be detachable from the container body 20 and thus the container 10 by screwing these screws.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the comb portion 16 is made of a resin molded member, and includes a base portion 32 having a substantially rectangular plate shape, and a plurality of comb bodies 14 that are protruded and formed at the front end side surface of the base portion 32 at intervals. Consists of. In the attached state of the comb portion 16 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the tip end of the comb body 14 protrudes from the tip end of the application body 12.

  The comb body 14 at the end in the arrangement direction of the comb portion 16 has flexibility to deform by 1 mm or more when a force in an axial direction of 7.5 N is applied to the background at an angle of 45 °.

  The base portion 32 is formed with an insertion hole 32a formed so as to be cut from the rear portion, and the insertion portion 32a is inserted into the engaging portion 24b of the joint 24 to be detachably engaged. As molded.

  In the comb portion 16, as shown in FIG. 6, three (a plurality of examples) comb bodies 14 are arranged in the horizontal direction along the flat direction of the base portion, and the combs at the end portions in the arrangement direction, that is, the combs at both end portions. The body 14 (14a, 14a) has an elliptical cross section, and the central comb body 14b has a circular cross section. Each tip of each comb body 14 is formed with R, that is, round (for example, spherical).

  In addition, the space between the comb bodies 14 at both ends in the arrangement direction of the comb portion 16 is a projection of the space 34 through which the hair can pass with a projected area of 70% or more. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 (d), the ratio of the area S2 of the space excluding the central comb body 14b on the basis of the area S1 between the comb bodies 14 (14a, 14a) at both ends. (S2 / S1) is 70% or more.

  Moreover, the space between the comb bodies is set based on a plurality of directions in which the hair is combed with respect to the application section having the comb section 16 and the application body 12. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the application part of the comb part 16 and the application body 12 has a rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and the arrangement direction of the comb body 14 and the application body 12 of the comb part 16 is the vertical direction. As the (reference “Y” direction), the parallel direction of the comb portion 16 and the application body 12 is the horizontal direction (reference “X”).

  Therefore, since the comb part 16 and the application body 12 are arranged in a rectangle, in the hair applicator according to the embodiment, by changing the use direction of the Y direction and the X direction by 90 °, the application body 12 and the comb part 16 are separated from each other. How to use the application part can be changed. Specifically, when the comb portion 16 is used for application along the lateral direction (X direction) or (Y direction), the area ratio S2 / S1 is set to 70% or more.

  When using the hair applicator, as shown in FIG. 3, if the hair is used so that the hair intersects perpendicularly with the surface 16A of the comb portion 16 where the width of the applicator body 12 is wide, the hair is moved in the X direction. When applied to hair, the comb body 14 of the comb portion 16 is retracted from the tip of the application body 12, so that the application body 12 does not touch the background and the application liquid to the background is worried. It can be applied without. Further, as shown in FIG. 6C, since the cross-sections of the four corner combs 14 (14a, 14a) are elliptical, they can be applied with a constant feeling without being conscious of the load.

  In addition, in the use of the comb portion 16, the ratio of the area S2 of the space excluding the central comb body 14b with respect to the area S1 between the comb bodies 14 (14a, 14a) at both ends (S2 / Assuming that S1) is 70% or more, in order to increase the amount of hair applied as compared to the conventional product, the interval between the combs 14 is minimized and the area ratio through which the hair passes is increased.

  On the other hand, if it is used so as to intersect perpendicularly to the coating direction (indicated by reference numeral “16B”) in FIG. The number of 12 increases, and it can apply carefully to a narrow range.

  Further, since the cross-sections of the comb bodies 14 (14a, 14a) at the four corners are elliptical, the comb body 14 is elastically deformed by adjusting the pressing load on the hair, and the gap between the application body 12 and the scalp can be adjusted. FIG. 4 shows a state before the deformation, and FIG. 5 shows a state after the deformation. FIG. 5 shows the deformation amount by the symbol “δ”.

  Therefore, it can be carefully applied to a portion where application is difficult, such as the hair root.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the tip 14s of the comb body 14s has an SR (circular cross section) shape so that it does not hurt even when pressed against the scalp, and the connecting portion with the strut has a smooth R surface (so that hair is not entangled) (Curved surface).

  In addition, it is preferable that at least one of the application body 12 and the comb part 16 is detachable. By making it detachable, it is very easy to remove entangled hair such as hair loss that adheres to the application body 12 without any hindrance to its usability.

  In the said embodiment, although the coating liquid was used as the hair dye, it does not need to restrict to this. For example, it may be a hair styling agent, a hair growth agent, a hair polish for pets or other animals, and the like. However, these coating liquids need to satisfy the above-described relationship in the liquid holding power of the coated body.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the number of the comb bodies 14 in the comb part 16 was six, and the number of the application bodies 12 was two 2 rows (10), However, In this invention, if all are two or more, Of course, the parallel number and the like can be appropriately set.

  The hair applicator of the present invention can be used for applicators such as hair dyes, hair straighteners, hair restorers, pets and other hair polishes.
