Description

The present invention relates to an applicator provided with brush ears formed by bundling fibers. It also relates to a brush ear attachment used in such an application tool.

There is known a coating tool that has a liquid such as water built in the brush shaft and supplies the liquid from the inside of the brush shaft to the tip of the brush by pushing the brush shaft. As such a coating tool, for example, there is a coating tool disclosed in Patent Document 1.

In the coating tool disclosed in Patent Document 1, the brush tip is attached to the shaft tube via a fixing member. Specifically, the brush tip is inserted and fixed in the fixing member, and the brush tip and the fixing member are inserted and fixed in the shaft cylinder.

Here, the fixing member is formed with a through hole penetrating from the front end to the rear end, and the cross-sectional shape of the through hole is a flat shape (bale shape) from the front end to the rear end. That is, the through hole is a hole having the same or similar cross-sectional shape in the entire area from the front end to the rear end. Further, the brush tip also corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the through hole, and the cross-sectional shape of the entire area from the front end to the rear end is a flat shape.
Then, the brush tip is inserted from the rear end side of the through hole, and the tip of the brush tip is projected from the tip of the through hole.

That is, the coating tool of Patent Document 1 has the same overall shape of the brush tip and the through hole, and by matching these shapes, the brush tip is not forcibly deformed and the tip of the brush tip is less likely to be cracked. are doing. In other words, the fixing member of Patent Document 1 is intended to be attached to the barrel without deforming the entire shape of the brush tip.

Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a brush ear cover that deforms the tip shape of the brush ear. This brush tip cover is an accessory member of the brush tool (applying tool), and is attached to the tip of the brush shaft as needed. Then, by attaching it to the brush shaft, the entire shape of the brush tip is forcibly deformed into a flat shape.
That is, when the brush tip cover is not attached to the brush tool, the shape of the brush tip is round (cylindrical). On the other hand, when the brush ear cover is attached, the shape of the brush ear becomes flat (flat). From this, it is possible to use the brush ears of one brush ears in two shapes without preparing two brush ears having different shapes of the brush ears.

Here, the brush tool that employs the brush tip cover of Patent Document 2 is used in a state where the brush tip cover is attached to the tip of the barrel and in a state where the brush tip cover is removed, as described above. For this reason, it is necessary to expose the brush ears to the outside by a certain length or more before and after attaching and detaching the brush ears cover so that the brush ears are easy to use in each state. Therefore, the brush ear cover is inevitably short-cylindrical (shape with a short length in the front-rear direction) in which the length in the front-rear direction (direction from the tip side to the tail side) is a certain value or less. That is, the brush ear cover of Patent Document 2 has a short distance from the circular opening on the rear end side to the flat opening on the front side, and only a part of the middle part of the brush ear is positioned inside to forcibly compress and deform. It has a structure to make it.

Here, in the coating tool of Patent Document 1, when a plurality of coating tools having different shapes of brush ears are manufactured, it is necessary to form the brush ears separately.
That is, in the coating tool of Patent Document 1, when the shape of the brush tip is round, it is necessary to form the brush tip having a circular cross-sectional shape from the front end side to the rear end side. Further, when the shape of the brush tip is flat, it is necessary to form a brush tip having a flat cross-sectional shape from the front end side to the rear end side.

Here, the brush ears are generally formed by bundling hair materials to form a hair bundle, and integrating the rear end portions of the hair bundle by welding (heat welding). Therefore, when the shape of the brush tip is round in the coating tool of Patent Document 1, the rear end portion must also be round, and when the shape of the brush tip is flat, the rear end portion is also flat. Must be a mold.
Therefore, when manufacturing a plurality of types of brushes, it is necessary to have equipment for welding the rear end portion of the hair bundle into a round shape and equipment for welding the rear end portion of the hair bundle into a flat shape. Further, when a plurality of facilities are required for manufacturing hair bundles, the facilities become large-scale. Since the site area of a factory or the like that manufactures brush tools is limited, it is not preferable that the equipment becomes large in this way, and the introduction of the equipment is costly, which leads to an increase in manufacturing cost.

The brush tip attachment 13 is a member in which a spike-shaped holding portion 35 on the tip side and a tip introduction portion 36 on the rear end side are integrally formed. The brush tip attachment 13 is formed with a brush tip attachment hole 37 that penetrates from the front end side to the rear end side.

In the following description, the brush ear attachment 13 will be described with reference to the posture shown in FIG. That is, unless otherwise specified, one side of the peripheral wall (upper side in FIG. 4) is the upper side, and the opposite side (lower side in FIG. 4) is the lower side.

As shown in FIG. 4, two engaging surface portions 45, a first water supply hole portion 46, and a water supply groove portion 47 are formed on the upper portion of the brush ear attachment 13.

Here, the brush ear attachment 13 of the present embodiment is a member in which the upper portion and the lower portion are plane-symmetrical. That is, the upper half and the lower half of the brush tip attachment 13 are plane-symmetric with a virtual plane extending including the central portion in the vertical direction as a symmetric plane.
Therefore, two engaging surface portions 45, a first water supply hole portion 46, and a water supply groove portion 47 are formed on the lower portion of the brush tip attachment 13 as well as the upper portion (not shown in FIG. 4). Similarly, each portion formed in the upper portion is also formed in the lower portion.
In the following description, only the upper part of the brush tip attachment 13 will be described in detail, and the overlapping detailed description of each lower part will be omitted.

The spike-shaped holding portion 35 is a portion having a flat overall shape and extending in the front-rear direction.
The spike-shaped holding portion 35 is formed with side wall portions 50 at both ends in the width direction (left-right direction). The outer surface of the side wall portion 50 is a curved surface that is curved so as to bulge outward in the width direction. The two side wall portions 50 are formed so as to be separated from each other. Therefore, the width direction referred to here is also the opposite direction of the two side wall portions 50.

The engaging surface portion 45 is a surface that is continuous with the upper end portion of the side wall portion 50 and is orthogonal (intersects) with the vertical direction. The engaging surface portion 45 is formed from the center in the width direction with respect to the upper end of the side wall portion 50. That is, the engaging surface portion 45 is a surface that spreads in the width direction and the front-rear direction, and extends in the front-rear direction at a position adjacent to the upper end portion of the side wall portion 50.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the first water supply hole portion 46 is a through hole having a substantially rectangular opening shape, and penetrates the upper portion of the spike-shaped holding portion 35 in the vertical direction (ear-shaped holding). It is a through hole (penetrating a part of the peripheral wall of the portion 35). That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the first water supply hole portion 46 is a hole that communicates the brush tip mounting hole 37 (inside the brush tip mounting tool 13) with the outside.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the first water supply hole portion 46 extends from the rear end portion of the spike-shaped holding portion 35 toward the tip end side (from the right end portion to the left side in FIG. 6), and has a total length ( The length in the anteroposterior direction) is about 70% of the total length of the spike-shaped holding portion 35. That is, the first water supply hole portion 46 extends over most of the upper portion of the spike-shaped holding portion 35.

The opening portion of the first water supply hole portion 46 has a tip end side portion located between the two ridge portions 52.
As shown in FIG. 5, the ridge portion 52 projects upward and has a substantially fan-shaped cross section extending in the front-rear direction. That is, the ridge portion 52 is a portion adjacent to the outside in the width direction and a portion protruding upward from the portion adjacent to the rear side (a portion protruding upward from the formation position of the engaging surface portion 45). .. The ridge 52 has a curved surface between an upper end portion located on the center side in the width direction and a lower end portion located on the outer side in the width direction.
Then, the curved surface of the ridge portion 52, the engaging surface portion 45, and the outer surface of the side wall portion 50 form a stepped portion that is continuous in a stepped manner.

As shown in FIG. 7, the brush ear attachment 13 of the present embodiment is provided with a constriction portion 55 on the rear side of the ridge portion 52. The constricted portion 55 is a portion formed thinner than the adjacent portion adjacent in the front-rear direction. That is, the cross-sectional shape of the constricted portion 55 is such that the area of the minimum inclusion circle including the cross-section is smaller than the cross-sectional shape of the adjacent portion adjacent in the front-rear direction.
The constricted portion 55 of the present embodiment is a portion having a shorter length in the vertical direction than an adjacent portion adjacent in the front-rear direction.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the tip introduction portion 36 is a portion formed by integrally forming the rear large cylinder portion 58 and the front small cylinder portion 59.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the rear large cylinder portion 58 is a substantially cylindrical portion, and in detail, has a shape in which a part of the side surface is vertically cut off. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the side surface (outer peripheral surface) of the rear large cylinder portion 58 is formed with a curved surface continuous in the circumferential direction and a substantially rectangular flat surface.

The front small cylinder portion 59 is a tubular portion having a shorter vertical length and a shorter width direction than the rear large cylinder portion 58. The front small cylinder portion 59 extends forward from the front end surface of the rear large cylinder portion 58, and its side surface (outer peripheral surface) portion is continuous with the side surface (outer peripheral surface) portion of the rear large cylinder portion 58 via a step. ..
The water supply groove portion 47 described above is formed on the side surface (outer peripheral surface) of the front small cylinder portion 59.

The water supply groove portion 47 is a groove portion extending in the front-rear direction, and the front end side portion is located between two rib portions 60 (protruding portions) separated and opposed in the width direction.
The rib portion 60 is a portion that protrudes upward from other portions adjacent in the width direction, and is a vertical wall-like portion that extends in the front-rear direction. In the present embodiment, the front small cylinder portion 59 extends from the front end to the rear side.

As shown in FIG. 8, the bottom portion of the water supply groove portion 47 is provided with a groove bottom inclined portion 63, a groove bottom protrusion 64, and a second water supply hole portion 65, respectively, in order from the front end side.

The groove bottom inclined portion 63 is a portion in which the upper surface thereof is inclined so as to be directed downward toward the front end side. That is, the outer surface in the vertical direction forms an inclined surface that inclines toward the center side in the vertical direction toward the front end side.

The groove bottom protrusion 64 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped portion adjacent to the rear side of the groove bottom inclined portion 63, and is a portion protruding upward (outside in the vertical direction) from the rear end of the groove bottom inclined portion 63. The upper surface of the groove bottom protrusion 64 is continuous with the upper surface of the groove bottom inclined portion 63 via a step.

The second water supply hole portion 65 is a through hole having a substantially quadrangular opening shape, and is a through hole that penetrates the front small cylinder portion 59 (tip introduction portion 36) in the vertical direction. That is, it is a hole that communicates the brush tip mounting hole 37 (inside the brush tip mounting tool 13) with the outside.

Subsequently, the internal structure of the brush tip attachment 13 (brush tip attachment hole 37) will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 9, the brush tip attachment hole 37 has a series of through holes in which the tip introduction portion 70, the shape deformation portion 71, and the tip side shaping portion 72 are continuously formed from the rear end side.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 10, the tip introduction portion 70 includes a hole rear portion 70a having a large hole diameter (large cross-sectional area) and a hole front portion 70b having a small hole diameter (small cross-sectional area). It is formed continuously.
Here, on the inner peripheral surface of the tip introduction portion 36, a portion surrounding the hole rear portion 70a in the circumferential direction and a portion surrounding the hole front portion 70b in the circumferential direction are continuous via a step. In other words, inside the tip introduction portion 36, the surfaces adjacent to the outside of each portion of the tip introduction portion 70 are continuous in a stepwise manner in the front-rear direction.

That is, the tip introduction portion 70 is a hole that gradually becomes smaller toward the tip side.
Here, the "hole that gradually becomes smaller" is a hole whose cross-sectional area becomes smaller intermittently (intermittently). That is, as the cross-sectional area becomes substantially the same toward the tip end side of the hole, the cross-sectional area becomes apparently smaller after a certain amount or more, and then the cross-sectional area becomes substantially the same. The hole is such that the same part continues for a certain amount or more.

The tip introduction portion 70 has a circular opening shape at the rear end portion of the tip introduction portion 70, and the cross-sectional shape of each portion is circular.

Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the tip introduction portion 36, an inner opening of the second water supply hole portion 65 described above is formed in a portion surrounding the hole front portion 70b (see FIG. 5). That is, the second water supply hole portion 65 is a hole that communicates with the front portion 70b of the hole and the outside.

As shown in FIG. 10, the shape deforming portion 71 has an elliptical shape at the rear end opening.
That is, the shape is different from both the opening shape (cross-sectional shape) of the rear end portion of the tip introduction portion 70 and the cross-sectional shape of the front end portion. The opening area of the rear end opening of the shape deforming portion 71 (the area of the cross section of the rear end portion) is smaller than the area of the cross section of the front end portion of the tip introduction portion 70.
From the above, on the inner peripheral surface of the tip introduction portion 36, a portion surrounding the tip introduction portion 70 in the circumferential direction and a portion surrounding the shape deformation portion 71 in the circumferential direction are continuous via a step. In other words, inside the tip introduction portion 36, a surface adjacent to the outside of the tip introduction portion 70 and a surface adjacent to the outside of the shape deformation portion 71 are continuous in a stepwise manner in the front-rear direction.

As described above, the shape deforming portion 71 is a hole that becomes continuously smaller toward the tip end side.
Here, the "continuously smaller hole" is a hole in which the area of the cross section of each continuous portion is gradually reduced.

In the present embodiment, the shape of the cross section of each portion of the shape deforming portion 71 is substantially elliptical.
The term "substantially elliptical" as used herein is not limited to a perfect ellipse, but includes a shape similar to an ellipse. That is, it is a shape having an orthogonal minor axis length and a major axis length, and if it is generally elliptical, the shape of the curved portion may be partially extended irregularly. For example, the oval shape is included in the "substantially elliptical shape".

Subsequently, the assembly structure of the brush tool 1 will be described.

When assembling the brush main body 2, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 15, the brush ear 14 is inserted from the rear of the brush ear attachment 13 and the brush ear 14 is attached to the brush ear attachment 13. To do.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 16, the brush ear attachment 13 is inserted from the rear side of the water supply regulation member 12, and the water supply regulation member 12 is in a state where a part of the brush ear attachment 13 is externally fitted. ..
Then, the brush tip attachment 13 to which the water supply regulating member 12 and the brush tip 14 are attached is inserted from the rear side of the front side tubular portion 10. Further, as shown in FIG. 17, after the inner plug member 15 is positioned on the rear side of the brush tip attachment 13, the female screw portion 23 of the front cylinder portion 10 and the male screw portion 26 of the rear cylinder portion 11 It is screwed so that the brush body 2 is assembled.

That is, as shown in FIG. 17, the water supply regulating member 12, the brush tip attachment 13 and most of the brush spikes 14, and the inner plug member 15 are housed inside the front cylinder portion 10. Then, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 17, the tip-side portion of the brush tip attachment 13 and the brush tip 14 is in a state of protruding outward from the tip opening 20 of the front tubular portion 10.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 18, the rib portion 21 of the front tubular portion 10 and the engaging surface portion 45 are in contact with each other, or are arranged at positions slightly spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the writing shaft 30. (In this embodiment, they are arranged at intervals). That is, at least a part of the brush tip attachment 13 is arranged at a position separated from the side surface of the rib portion 21 in the circumferential direction of the front tubular portion 10 (brush shaft 30). The rib portion 21 and the engaging surface portion 45 form a detent portion, and when the brush tip attachment 13 tries to rotate relative to the front cylinder portion 10, they come into contact with each other. Rotation is blocked.

Here, when the brush ear 14 is attached to the brush ear attachment 13, the brush ear 14 is inserted from the rear of the brush ear attachment 13 as described above (see FIG. 15).
At this time, as shown in FIG. 15, the radial length of the hair bundle portion 14a in the natural state is smaller than the radial length of the hole rear portion 70a and the hole front portion 70b of the tip introduction portion 70. That is, in the cross section of the hair bundle portion 14a in the natural state, the area of the minimum inclusion circle including the cross section is smaller than the area of the cross section of the hole rear portion 70a, and is smaller than the cross section area of the hole front portion 70b. Also becomes smaller. That is, the hair bundle portion 14a is thinner than the tip introduction portion 70, and can be easily introduced into the tip introduction portion 70.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 15 (b) and 19, the radial length of the hair bundle portion 14a in the natural state is the major axis length Lα of the cross section in the vicinity of the rear end and the rear end of the shape deformed portion 71. , The minor axis length Lβ (see FIG. 11A) is shorter.
That is, in the cross section of the hair bundle portion 14a in the natural state, the area of the minimum inclusion circle including the cross section is smaller than the area of the cross section of the rear end and the vicinity of the rear end of the shape deformed portion 71.
Therefore, when the tip portion of the hair bundle portion 14a is moved from the tip introduction portion 70 to the shape deforming portion 71, the hair bundle portion 14a can be easily introduced into the shape deforming portion 71.

Then, as described above, the shape deforming portion 71 has a shape in which the cross-sectional shape gradually becomes flat (approaches an oval shape) toward the tip side (see FIG. 11 and the like). Therefore, in the hair bundle portion 14a, the cross-sectional shape of the portion that has passed through the inside of the shape deforming portion 71 (the portion that has moved to the tip side from the tip side opening of the shape deforming portion 71) is before being inserted into the shape deforming portion 71. The shape is different from the cross-sectional shape of.

That is, since the vertical length of the shape deforming portion 71 gradually shortens toward the tip side, each portion of the hair bundle portion 14a is gradually pushed from the vertical direction as it passes through the inside of the shape deforming portion 71. It approaches the flat shape.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 15 (b) and 15 (c), the tip portion of the hair bundle portion 14a is introduced into the tip side shaping portion 72 after passing through the shape deforming portion 71, and is introduced into the tip side shaping portion 72. After passing through, the brush tip attachment hole 37 moves to the outside through the front end side opening.

Here, the tip portion of the hair bundle portion 14a located outside the brush ear attachment hole 37 may be shaped so that the hair tip portion serving as the brush tip is tapered (see FIGS. 17, 18, etc.). That is, the hair tip portion of the hair bundle portion 14a is impregnated with water or the like, and a force is gradually applied along the flow of the hair toward the tip so that the thickness becomes thinner toward the hair tip side. You may shape it.
The hair tip portion may be shaped before assembling, that is, before inserting the brush ear 14 into the brush ear attachment 13. Further, the shape may be adjusted after assembling, that is, after inserting the brush ear 14 into the brush ear attachment 13. However, from the viewpoint of making it easier to insert the brush tip 14 into the brush tip attachment 13, it is preferable to arrange the shape before assembling.
In this case, the tip portion of the brush tip 14 (see FIG. 2) is adjusted so that the thickness becomes thinner toward the tip of the hair.

Further, when the hair bundle portion 14a is moved forward relative to the brush tip attachment 13, the flange-shaped portion 14b comes into contact with the portion adjacent to the rear end opening of the shape deforming portion 71 (FIG. 15 (FIG. 15). c) See). This prevents the hair bundle portion 14a from moving further forward.
That is, the flange-shaped portion 14b is inserted into the shape deforming portion 71 so that at least one side length in the radial direction (vertical length in FIG. 15) is longer than the length in the same direction of the rear end opening in the shape deforming portion 71. It is a size that cannot be done.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the flange-shaped portion 14b is arranged on the rear side of the rear end opening of the shape deforming portion 71, and the rear end side portion of the hair bundle portion 14a located on the front side of the flange-shaped portion 14b is deformed. It is arranged inside the part 71.
More specifically, the flange-shaped portion 14b is in a state of being adjacent to the rear side of the rear end opening of the shape deforming portion 71. Then, the root portion of the hair bundle portion 14a adjacent to the flange-shaped portion 14b, that is, the rear end portion of the hair bundle portion 14a and the portion adjacent to the front thereof are housed inside the shape deforming portion 71.

In the present embodiment, the total length (length in the front-rear direction) L5 of the brush ear 14 is longer than the total length L1 of the brush ear attachment 13 and the brush ear attachment hole 37.
Further, when the brush tip 14 is attached to the brush tip attachment 13, the length L6 of the portion of the brush tip 14 located inside the brush tip attachment 13 is located outside the brush tip attachment 13. The length is longer than the length of L7.
In this way, if most of the brush ears 14 are flattened inside the brush ears attachment 13, the tip of the brush ears exposed to the outside of the brush ears attachment 13 is hard to crack (the shape is hard to collapse). Become.

Here, as shown in FIG. 20, inside the spike-shaped holding portion 35, the cross-sectional area (area excluding the gap portion) of the hair bundle portion 14a (brush ear 14) housed inside is the brush. It is less than or equal to the area of the cross section of the ear mounting hole 37.
The area of the cross section of the bristles 14a is preferably 50% or more of the area of the cross section of the brush tip attachment hole 37 from the viewpoint of more reliably preventing the tip of the brush from losing its shape. Further, it is more preferably 60% or more, and further preferably 70% or more of the cross-sectional area of the brush ear attachment hole 37.

Subsequently, when the water supply regulating member 12 is attached to the brush ear attachment 13, the brush ear attachment 13 is inserted from the rear side of the water supply regulating member 12 as described above (see FIGS. 2 and 16). The water supply regulating member 12 may be attached after the brush tip 14 is attached to the brush tip attachment 13 or before the brush tip 14 is attached to the brush ear attachment 13.

Specifically, the brush tip attachment 13 is inserted into the fixing member insertion hole 12a (see FIG. 2) of the water supply regulation member 12.
The water supply regulation member 12 is attached so as to surround the constricted portion 55 of the brush ear attachment 13 or the constricted portion 55 and a portion adjacent to the front side thereof.
In this embodiment, the water supply regulation member 12 is attached to the constricted portion 55 (see FIG. 16). That is, as shown in FIG. 16B, with the water supply regulating member 12 attached to the brush ear attachment 13, the water supply regulating member 12 and the front end portion of the constriction 55 are at the same position in the front-rear direction. It becomes. At the same time, the water supply regulating member 12 and the rear end portion of the constricted portion 55 are also positioned at the same position in the front-rear direction.

Here, the rib portion 60 of the brush ear attachment 13 is also a portion that functions as a movement restricting portion that prevents the position shift of the water supply regulating member 12.
More specifically, the tip introduction portion 36 has rib portions 60 formed at positions separated in the vertical direction, and a part of the front end side portion in the vertical direction is longer than the periphery. Then, when the water supply regulation member 12 tries to move relatively rearward from the mounting position, the rear end portion of the water supply regulation member 12 comes into contact with the front end portion of the rib portion 60, and the water supply regulation member 12 is caught by the rib portion 60. As a result, the water supply regulating member 12 is prevented from moving to the rear side.
That is, the front end side portion of the tip introduction portion 36 has a size that cannot be inserted into the fixing member insertion hole 12a. In other words, the rear end side opening of the fixing member insertion hole 12a (see FIG. 2) has a vertical length when attached to the brush tip attachment 13 so that the rib portion 60 of the tip introduction portion 36 is formed. It is shorter than the vertical length.

Further, as described above, the brush tool 1 of the present embodiment is obtained by the user picking and pressing the rear side portion of the brush shaft 30 (the portion of the rear side cylinder portion 11 exposed to the outside) and pressing the brush tip. It is possible to supply water to 14 (details will be described later).

That is, when the user pushes the rear cylinder portion 11, as shown in FIG. 21, the liquid (water) contained in the rear cylinder portion 11 passes through the water supply regulation plug portion 76 and the inner plug member. It flows into the liquid passage hole 78 of 15. Then, it flows out from the front end side portion of the liquid passage hole 78 to the outside of the inner plug member 15.
Specifically, since the front end side portion of the inner plug member 15 is inserted into the rear end side portion of the brush ear attachment 13, the liquid flows from the inside of the inner plug member 15 to the inside of the brush ear attachment 13. ..

Since the rear end opening of the shape deforming portion 71 is closed by the flange-shaped portion 14b of the brush scion 14, the liquid flows from the second water supply hole portion 65 to the outside of the brush scion attachment 13 and the water supply groove portion. After passing through 47, the water supply regulating member 12 is squeezed.
Further, when the liquid is squeezed into the water supply regulating member 12 beyond the water retention limit, the liquid is supplied from the water supply regulating member 12 to the hair bundle portion 14a of the brush ear 14 via the first water supply hole portion 46.

That is, the water supply regulation plug portion 76 having a plurality of through holes and the water supply regulation member 12 capable of impregnating the liquid regulate the supply amount of the liquid to the brush ear 14, the first liquid supply regulation member and the second. Functions as a liquid supply regulation member.
Further, two side hole portions 80 are formed in the front end portion of the inner plug member 15 (see FIG. 14). Therefore, even if the brush tip 14 moves to the rear end side and the front opening 81 of the inner plug member 15 is blocked by the flange-shaped portion 14b, the liquid can flow out from the side hole 80 to the outside.

Further, the first water supply hole portion 46 and the second water supply hole portion 65 are holes (liquid supply holes) for liquid supply through which the liquid passes when the liquid (water) is supplied to the brush ear 14. The water supply groove portion 47 adjacent to the second water supply hole portion 65 (see FIG. 4 and the like) functions as a distribution path (liquid supply groove) for the liquid flowing out from the second water supply hole portion 65.
