  The rear end 12A of the applicator 12 is inserted into and connected to the tip of the above-mentioned reservoir 18 at the time of loading thereof.

  The outer wall surface of the joint 24 and the inner wall surface of the cylindrical opening of the container body 20 are in fluid tight contact, and the joint 24 may be removable from the opening or may be completely fixed.

The above coating member 12 can be applied such as those described in the liquid retaining force Patent No. 4,726,439 of coating solution that use.

  As a raw material of the application body 12, a sliver pen core, a felt-like thing, an open-cell sponge-like thing etc. are suitable.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 1, when the hair applicator is not in use, the applicator 12 and the comb portion 16 are covered with a cap 26 so as to be removable.

  The cap 26 is formed by arranging a substantially cup-shaped inner cap 26a, a middle cap 26b and an outer cap 26c in a multilayer manner from the inside to the outside. The inner cap 26 a contacts the flat surface of the outer periphery of the locking portion 24 b of the joint 24 in a state in which the coating body 12 and the comb portion 16 are covered in the opening directed rearward.

  Further, a guide hole 28 is formed at the tip of the inner cap 26a on the back side, and a projection is formed in the vicinity of the tip while the comb 16 and the applicator 12 are separated.

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

  In addition, a screw (female screw) is formed on the inner surface of the rear end portion on the container 10 side of the outer cap 26c, and a screw (male screw) of a portion ahead of the flange 20a of the container body 20 is a screw of the outer cap 26c Are screwed together. By screwing these screws, the cap 26 is configured to be detachable with respect to the container body 20 and thus the container 10.

  As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the comb portion 16 is made of a resin-made molding member, and has a substantially rectangular plate-like base 32 and a plurality of combs 14 which are formed projecting at intervals on the tip side surface of the base 32. It 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 applying body 12.

  The combs 14 at the ends in the arrangement direction of the comb portion 16 have a flexibility that deforms by 1 mm or more when a force of 7.5 N in the axial direction is applied to the ground surface at an angle of 45 °.

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

  Further, in the comb portion 16, as shown in FIG. 6, the three (plural examples) comb bodies 14 are arranged in the lateral direction along the flat direction of the base, and the combs in the arrangement direction end, that is, the combs at both ends The body 14 (14a, 14a) is formed to have an elliptical cross section, and the central comb 14b is formed to have a circular cross section. Each tip of each comb body 14 is formed to be round or rounded (for example, spherical).

  Further, the space between the combs 14 at both ends in the arrangement direction in the comb part 16 is such that the space 34 through which the hair can pass is 70% or more in a projected area. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6D, the ratio of the area S2 of the space excluding the central comb 14b with reference to the area S1 between the combs 14 (14a, 14a) at both ends. It means that (S2 / S1) is 70% or more.

  Moreover, with respect to the application part in which the comb part 16 and the application | coating body 12 exist, the space between the said combs is set based on the some direction which combs hair. 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 side, and the arrangement direction of the comb body 14 of the comb part 16 and the application body 12 is the longitudinal direction As the (code “Y” direction), the parallel direction of the comb portion 16 and the applying body 12 is a lateral direction (code “X”).

  Therefore, since the comb part 16 and the application body 12 are arranged in a rectangular shape, in the hair application tool of the embodiment, the application body 12 and the comb part 16 are changed by changing the use direction of Y direction and X direction by 90 °. The usage of the application part can be changed. Specifically, when the comb portion 16 is used for coating along the lateral direction (X direction) or (Y direction), the area ratio S2 / S1 is set to 70% or more.

  When using a hair applicator, as shown in FIG. 3, if the hair crosses the face 16A of the comb 16 where the width is wide and the applicator 12 can be seen a lot, that is, it is moved in the X direction When it is used to apply to hair, since the comb body 14 of the comb section 16 is recessed from the tip of the application body 12, there is no concern that the application body 12 does not touch the background and the application liquid to the background is attached It can be applied without Further, as shown in FIG. 6C, since the cross sections of the combs 14 (14a, 14a) at the four corners have an elliptical shape, it can be applied with a certain sense without being aware of the load.

  In addition, at the time of use, the ratio of the area S2 of the space excluding the central comb 14b in the comb part 16 based on the area S1 between the combs 14 (14a, 14a) at the both ends (S2 / In the case where S1) is 70% or more, the space between the combs 14 is minimized and the area ratio through which the hair passes is increased in order to increase the hair passage and the application amount with respect to the conventional product.

  On the other hand, when used so as to intersect perpendicularly with the application direction (indicated by symbol “16B” in FIG. 3) having a narrow width and a small amount of pen core (indicated by symbol “16B” in FIG. 3) The number of 12 can be increased and carefully applied to a narrow range.

  Further, since the cross sections of the combs 14 (14a, 14a) at the four corners have an elliptical shape, the comb 14 can be elastically deformed by adjusting the pressing load on the hair, and the gap between the applying body 12 and the scalp can be adjusted. The state before the deformation is shown in FIG. 4 and the state after the deformation is as shown in FIG. The deformation amount is indicated by the symbol "δ" in FIG.

  Therefore, it can be applied more carefully to the part where application of the hair root etc is difficult.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, the tip 14s of the comb body 14 has an SR (circular in cross section) shape so that it does not hurt when pressed against the scalp, and the connection with the support has a smooth R surface ( It is connected by curved surface).

  In addition, it is preferable to make at least one of the application body 12 and the comb part 16 detachable. By making it removable, removal of entangled hair such as hair loss adhering to the application body 12 becomes extremely easy, and its usability does not occur.

  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-setting agent, a hair-growing agent, or a hair-dressing agent for pets and other animals. However, these coating liquids need to satisfy the relationship in the liquid holding power of the above-mentioned coating body.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the number of the combs 14 in the comb part 16 was six and the number of the application bodies 12 was five 2 rows (10), in this invention, if all are plural, it is Of course, the number of parallel connections can be set appropriately.

  The hair applicator of the present invention can be used for hair dye, as well as applicators such as hair setting agents, hair restorers, pets and other hair gloss agents.
