JP 2007-168885 A

  However, with the above-mentioned conventional applicator, it is difficult to accurately apply the content liquid to a desired specific position on the object to be applied.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and has as its object to provide an applicator capable of accurately applying a content liquid to a specific position of an object to be applied.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means.
The applicator according to the present invention includes an application container that has a discharge port that receives a content liquid and discharges the content liquid to an object to be coated, and that is fixed to the application container. A holding member that is slidably movable with respect to the holding member, wherein the holding member is disposed on a discharge surface of the coating object from which the content liquid is discharged from the discharge hole. And a second holding member that is arranged on the opposite ejection surface of the object to be applied opposite to the ejection surface and that sandwiches the object to be applied between the first holding member and the first holding member. The second holding member is directly fixed to the coating container, and the second holding member is detachably connected to the first holding member with the object to be coated sandwiched between the first holding member and the second holding member. Indirectly fixed to the container via the first holding member Characterized in that it is. The first holding member and the second holding member may be coupled based on a magnetic force.

According to this invention, when applying the content liquid to the object to be coated, first, the application container is positioned on the object to be applied. In this applicator, since the holding member is fixed to the application container, the application container can be accurately positioned with respect to the application object by holding and holding the object to be applied by the holding member. Thereafter, the content liquid is discharged from the discharge holes to the object to be coated, and the entire application tool is slid with respect to the object to be coated while holding the object to be coated by the holding member, and the content liquid is applied to the object to be coated. I do.
As described above, according to this applicator, the content liquid is applied to the object by sliding the application container relative to the object after the ejection holes are accurately positioned with respect to the object. can do. Therefore, the content liquid can be applied to the specific position of the application object with high accuracy.

  In this case, the first holding member is directly fixed to the application container without interposing the second holding member. Therefore, when positioning the application container with respect to the object to be coated, the application container can be positioned integrally with the first holding member with respect to the object to be coated. This makes it possible to easily hold the object to be coated by the holding member in a state where the application container is accurately positioned with respect to the object to be coated, and apply the content liquid more precisely to a specific position of the object to be coated. can do.

  In this case, the second holding member is detachably coupled to the first holding member with the object to be coated sandwiched between the first holding member and the first holding member, and is indirectly fixed to the application container via the first holding member. Is done. Therefore, when the object to be coated is held by the holding member, for example, with the first holding member and the application container being arranged on the ejection surface of the object to be coated, the second holding member is separately arranged on the non-ejection surface of the object to be coated. By doing so, the object to be coated can be sandwiched between the first holding member and the second holding member. Thereby, the operability of the applicator can be improved and the degree of freedom of the object to which the applicator is applied can be increased, and, for example, the applicator can be easily applied to a cylindrical object such as a sleeve of clothes. . In addition, in the case of applying the content liquid to the deep part of the sleeve that is far away from the cuffs in the sleeve of the clothes as the object to be coated, the application tool can easily apply the content liquid. The ease of use is particularly effectively exhibited.

  A pressure member disposed between the discharge hole and the first holding member and pressing the discharge surface may be further provided.

In this case, the applicator further includes a pressing member. Therefore, the content liquid discharged from the discharge holes can be spread over the object by the pressing member. Thereby, the content liquid can be effectively applied to a specific position of the object to be applied.
In addition, when a material (for example, cloth such as clothes) that easily impregnates the content liquid is employed as the object to be coated, the object liquid is effectively impregnated into the object by pressing the object with a pressing member. be able to.

  The second holding member includes a housing space arranged on the opposite side of the pressing member with the object to be applied interposed therebetween, and the housing space houses a contact member that is in contact with the opposite ejection surface. Is also good.

  In this case, the contact member is accommodated in the accommodation space. Therefore, an optimal contact member can be appropriately selected according to the properties of the object to be coated and the application of the application, and the contact member can be brought into contact with the non-ejection surface of the object to be coated. This makes it possible to reliably spread or impregnate the object to be coated with the content liquid discharged from the discharge holes via the pressing member. As a result, for example, dirt present at a specific position on the object to be coated can be transferred to the contact member.

By disposing the second holding member 24 separately, the object A can be sandwiched between the first holding member 23 and the second holding member 24. Thereby, the operability of the applicator 20 is improved and the degree of freedom of the object A to which the applicator 20 is applied is increased. For example, the applicator 20 is applied to a cylindrical object A such as a sleeve of clothes. It can be easier. In addition, in the case of applying the content liquid to a deep portion of the sleeve that is far away from the cuff, the application tool 20 can easily apply the content liquid to the sleeve of the clothing as the application target A. The ease of use of the applicator 20 is particularly effectively exhibited.

Further, the applicator 20 further includes a pressing member 22. Therefore, the content liquid discharged from the discharge holes 11 can be spread on the object A by the pressing member 22. Thereby, the content liquid can be effectively applied to the specific position of the application target A.
When a material (for example, cloth such as clothes) which is easily impregnated with the content liquid is adopted as the object A, the content liquid is applied to the object A by pressing the object A with the pressing member 22. Can be impregnated.

  Further, the contact member 40 is accommodated in the accommodation space 36. Therefore, the optimum contact member 40 can be appropriately selected according to the properties of the object A and the application of the application, and the contact member 40 can be brought into contact with the non-ejection surface A2 of the object A. Accordingly, the content liquid discharged from the discharge holes 11 can be surely spread and impregnated on the object A through the pressing member 22. As a result, for example, it is possible to transfer dirt present at a specific position of the application target A to the contact member 40.

The third urging member 91 is interposed between the inner cylinder 27 and the shoulder 12b of the container body 12.

  A regulating rib 72 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylindrical portion 27, similarly to the applicator 70 according to the second embodiment. The restricting rib 72 faces the flange 84 of the discharge member 81 in the container axis O direction. The regulating rib 72 and the flange portion 84 are separated in the container axis O direction.

  In the applicator 90, while the first holding member 23 and the second holding member 24 sandwich the object A, the pressing member 22 contacts the object A, while the ejection holes 11 A is separated from A in the direction of the container axis O. As shown in FIG. 8, when the user pushes the body 12 c of the container main body 12 downward against the urging force of the second urging member 87, the container main body 12 is pressed against the outer cylinder 26. Then, the projecting portion 88 of the inner plug main body 86 comes into contact with the object A to be coated.

  When the user further pushes the container main body 12, the container main body 12 is further lowered in a state where the movement of the inner plug main body 86 in the container axis O direction is restricted by the object A to be coated. As a result, the communication hole 18 is opened, and the liquid in the container body 12 is discharged (dropped) from the discharge hole 11 to the object A through the communication hole 18. At this time, outside air is sucked into the container main body 12 through the discharge hole 11, and the volume reduction deformation in the container main body 12 is suppressed.

When the user releases the pushing of the container main body 12 after discharging the content liquid, the inner plug main body 86 is restored downward to close the communication hole 18 by the elastic restoring force of the second urging member 87. . Further, the container body 12 is restored upward by the elastic restoring force of the third urging member 91.
Thereafter, the user grips, for example, the body 12 c of the container body 12, the outer tubular portion 26, and the like, and slides the entire applicator 90 with respect to the workpiece A. As a result, the content liquid discharged to the object A is spread over the object A by the pressing member 22.

  Note that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, the second magnet unit 34 is formed in an annular shape, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second magnet unit 34 can be formed of a pair of bar-shaped magnet members. In this case, the pair of magnet members can be arranged side by side at an interval and connected by a closing portion 35, so that a space 36 between the pair of magnet members can be formed. According to this configuration, since the housing space 36 is open on both sides in the direction in which each magnet member extends, for example, the contact member 40 is formed longer than the housing space 36 in the extending direction, and The contact member 40 can protrude in the extending direction. Thus, for example, even if dirt is transferred from the object A to the contact member 40 by applying the content liquid to the object A, the contact member 40 is moved in the extending direction, and The contact member 40 in a clean state in which the dirt is not transferred can be easily brought into contact with the non-ejection surface A2 of the object A.

  The storage space 36, the contact member 40, the pressing member 22, and the overcap 19 may not be provided.

  In addition, it is possible to appropriately replace the components in the above-described embodiment with well-known components without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the above-described modifications may be appropriately combined.
