Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a piece gun for spraying, which is capable of spraying a coating liquid such as ink while atomizing it using a writing instrument such as a felt pen.

[Background technology]

In recent years, so-called felt-tip pens have been used to atomize a colored coating liquid, such as water-based or oil-based ink, into the body of the pen by blowing high-pressure air onto the writing part, which is the tip, for example, for drawing illustrations. There are some known methods that do this, but the conventional ones are
As shown schematically in FIG. 5, the writing instrument A has a protrusion provided on the base body B fitted into it, and an outlet C for discharging high-pressure air is formed apart from the side of the writing section A1 at its tip. . Therefore, in addition to being inconvenient to hold, since the blown air is discharged from the side, the coating liquid sometimes tends to flow back into the body E from the writing section A1, and the coating liquid always flows from one side of the writing section A1. Since air enters the writing part A1, the locations where the writing part A1 can be used are limited, causing damage to the writing part A1 more quickly, and the flow of the coating liquid to the writing part A1 tends to be uneven, making it difficult to achieve constant and smooth atomization and spraying. Ta.
