 FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of an embodiment of the liquid applicator according to the present invention, FIGS. 2A to 2C are a plan view, a front view and a side view of the liquid applicator, and FIG. FIG. 3 is an exploded front view showing a schematic configuration of the device.

The liquid applicator includes a liquid container 1 having a cylindrical opening 2 at an upper end, a holding table 3 attached to an upper end of the liquid container 1, and a coating table held by the holding table 3. A body 4 and a cap 5 that covers the application body 4 are provided.

The liquid agent storage container 1 is made of a synthetic resin molded article having a vertically-long cylindrical shape with a horizontal cross section of an elliptical shape, and a cylindrical mouth portion 2 is integrally formed at a central portion of an upper end thereof. As shown in FIG. 4, the cylindrical mouth portion 2 has a base portion 6 having a diameter larger than the upper end side at a base end thereof, and the holding base 3 is engaged with an outer peripheral surface of the base portion 6. A ring-shaped engaged portion 6a is formed. A plug 7 is mounted inside the cylindrical mouth 2 by press fitting. The plug 7 is also made of a synthetic resin molded body, and has a spiral groove 8 formed on its outer peripheral surface. A liquid outlet 9 extending along the axis of the plug 7 and opening at the upper end is formed in the plug 7, and two communication passages 10A and 10B communicating with the liquid outlet 9 are respectively formed in a part of the spiral groove 8. There is an opening in. By attaching the plug 7 to the inside of the cylindrical opening 2, a spiral liquid agent outflow path 11 is formed by the spiral groove 8 of the plug 7 and the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical opening 2. That is, the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine storage container 1 flows out of the container from the liquid medicine outlet 9 via the liquid medicine outflow path 11 and the communication passages 10A and 10B.

The holding base 3 is a plate having a substantially rectangular shape and is made of a synthetic resin. The holding base 3 has a fitting hole 12 at the center thereof for loosely fitting to the cylindrical opening 2 of the liquid agent storage container 1. An engagement collar portion 14 is formed integrally with the engagement hole 12 so as to protrude downward. A ring-shaped engaging portion 14a that engages with the engaged portion 6a of the cylindrical mouth portion 2 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the lower end portion of the engaging collar portion 14. When the fitting hole 12 is fitted into the cylindrical mouth portion 2 until the edge of the fitting hole 12 contacts the upper end surface of the base portion 6 of the cylindrical mouth portion 2, the engagement collar portion 14 split into two is formed. The engaging portion 14a is elastically deformed to the radially enlarged side along the outer peripheral surface of the base portion 6, and the engaging portion 14a is engaged with the engaged portion 6a, whereby the holding base 3 is attached to the upper end of the liquid agent storage container 1. Further, on the lower surface of the holding table 3, a pair of rotation-stopping cylinder portions 15 that are engaged with an engaging table portion 1a formed integrally with the upper end of the liquid agent storage container 1 are integrally formed. The rotation of the holding table 3 with respect to the liquid storage container 1 is prevented by the engagement of the rotation preventing cylinder portion 15 with the liquid storage container 1a.

A plurality of locking claws 16 protruding upward are integrally formed on the upper surface of the holding base 3. The application body 4 is held on the holding base 3 by the locking claws 16. That is, the coating body 4 is made of a liquid-absorbing material having excellent wear resistance, such as felt or sponge, and has a substantially rectangular shape having a predetermined thickness. It has a hole 18 and a plurality of engagement holes 17 corresponding to the respective locking claws 16 on the lower surface side. The application body 4 is held at the bottom.

The cap 5 that covers the application body 4 is also made of a synthetic resin molded body, and has a central hole 5 a in the center of which a lid 19 is inserted. The lid 19 inserted into the central hole 5a has a head 20 having a diameter larger than that of the lower half at the upper part, and a screw part 19a is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical lower half. By screwing this screw portion 19a to a screw portion 2a formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical mouth portion 2, the lid 19 is detachably attached to the cylindrical mouth portion 2. The cap 5 is sandwiched between the head 20 of the lid 19 attached in this way and the application body 4, and the cap 5 is held on the application body 4. On the inner bottom surface of the lower half of the lid 19, a spherical stopper 21 is formed integrally to close the liquid agent outlet 9 opened at the upper end of the stopper 7 in the attached state. Further, a knob 20a for screwing the cylindrical mouth portion 2 is formed integrally with the head portion 20 of the lid body 19.

The application of the liquid medicine by the liquid medicine applicator configured as described above is performed as follows. Unscrew the lid 19 from the cylindrical mouth portion 2, remove the lid 19 and the cap 5, grasp the liquid agent storage container 1, which is also used as a hand-held grip, by hand, and For example, when the window glass of an automobile is rubbed, the liquid in the liquid storage container 1 is spirally formed by the spiral groove 8 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical mouth portion 2 and the outer peripheral surface of the plug 7. It flows out of the container from the agent outflow path 11 through the communication passages 10A and 10B of the plug 7 and the liquid agent outlet 9, and soaks into the application body 4 or is applied to the surface to be applied. In this case, the liquid material passage includes the spiral liquid material outflow path 11 and is not monotonous, and the path length is long. Therefore, even when the liquid material applicator is turned downward when applying the liquid material, it is unnecessary. A large amount of liquid can be prevented from flowing out at once.

Further, since the outer peripheral surface of the coating body 4 is not covered with the collar portion or the locking claw as in the case of the conventional example, a narrow portion of the coating surface such as a corner portion of a window glass of an automobile is used. When the liquid material is applied to the substrate, the liquid material can be easily applied using the edge portion of the application body 4. Since the outer peripheral surface of the application body 4 is not covered, the external appearance also increases.

Further, in this liquid applicator, the screw portion 2 a into which the lid 19 for closing the liquid outlet 9 is screwed is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical mouth portion 2. It can be easily and securely attached to the cylindrical mouth 2 of the container 1.

Further, since the lid 19 has the head 20 for holding the cap 5 covering the coating 4 with the coating 4, no special member is required to hold the cap 5. The tip 5 can be easily held.
