Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an acidic or alkaline solution containing a surfactant,
Liquid applicator for foaming neutral liquids such as cleaning agents, fungicides, insecticides, bactericides, fungicides, repellents, fragrances and the like as foams to target locations Regarding

[Conventional technology]

As an applicator for applying a liquid material to a target location, for example, the applicator disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-147194 is known.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, a coating part b having a fine void such as sponge or felt is attached to the tip of the container body a, and the liquid substance c in the container body a is supplied to the coating part b by a pipe d. There is known an applicator that is configured to apply the liquid material c by impregnating and impregnating it, and pressing the application portion b against a target portion and rubbing it.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In such an applicator, the application part b has fine voids such as sponge or felt, and the liquid substance is press-fitted and impregnated into the voids to apply the liquid substance. It is necessary to press a with a strong force to press and impregnate the liquid material into the coating portion b with a high pressure, which requires a lot of labor, and it takes a long time until the liquid material is impregnated and filled in the entire coating portion. Can't be quick.

Moreover, when the liquid is impregnated and filled in the coating portion, the voids disappear and the air flow is blocked.
It is very difficult to restore the appearance of the container a to its original state by sucking the outside air into it, and even if it is restored, it becomes very slow. Therefore, the container body is repeatedly compressed to pump the liquid material to the application part by pumping. The action becomes impossible, and the liquid material cannot be continuously supplied to the coating portion, so that the liquid material cannot be continuously coated on the target portion.

It should be noted that the thickness of the coating portion may be reduced in order to improve the resilience of the container body a, but this makes the coating cleaning difficult.

Further, in order to apply the liquid substance impregnated in the coating portion to the target portion, it is necessary to press the coating portion to the target portion with a strong force, which requires a large amount of labor. Therefore, it is very difficult to apply the liquid substance, and it is very difficult to apply the liquid substance over a wide range.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid material applicator which solves the above-mentioned problems and allows a liquid material to be easily applied to a target location.

[Means and Actions for Solving Problems]

The liquid material applicator of the present invention comprises a container body 1 in which a body is press-deformable and which contains a liquid material 5 containing a surfactant,
The container main body 1 has a pipe 7 for sucking up a liquid material 5 extending from the upper part to near the bottom part, and a bubble guide tube 11 penetrating from the lower end to the upper end, and the lower end part is the upper part of the container main body 1. In a liquid material applicator having a cap 3 attached to an upper end of the pipe 3 and an applicator 4 including an application layer 13 on a support 12 attached to the upper end of the cap 3, The bubble guide tube 1 of the cap 3 communicating with the upper end of the pipe 7 and the air layer 1b on the liquid material 5 of the container body 1, respectively.
1. A mixing chamber 9 communicating with 1 is provided, a foam homogenizing member 10 is attached to the upper end of the mixing chamber 9, and a support base 1 attached to the upper end of a cap 3 is attached to the coating section 4.
2 and a foam jet hole 14 penetrating the coating layer 13 provided on the support 12 and communicating with the foam guide tube 11 of the cap 3.

As a result, the liquid substance containing the surfactant in the container body 1 and the air are mixed in the mixing chamber 9 to form a foam only by lightly pressing and deforming the body of the container body 1 with the foamed body. By the foam homogenizing member 10, the foam can be ejected from the foam ejecting hole 4 of the coating portion 4 through the foam inducing tube 11 as a homogenized material, and when the pressure of the body of the container body 1 is released, the outside air is ejected from the foam ejecting hole 14 into the foam inducing tube 11 Since it enters the inside of the container body 1 through it, the container body 1 is immediately restored, and the next bubble ejection operation can be performed promptly to enable the pumping action.

〔Example〕

The container body 1 made of an elastic material such as elastic plastic has excellent resilience, and the inner plug 2 is detachably attached to the inner peripheral surface of the opening 1a and the cap is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the opening 1a. 3 is detachably mounted, and the cap 3 is integrally provided with the coating portion 4.

The container body 1 is filled with a liquid material 5 containing a surfactant having a relatively low viscosity, and the liquid material 5 is 50 cps.
The following is desirable, and the limit is around 200 cps.

A hollow holder 6 is fitted and attached to the inner plug 2, and an upper portion of a pipe 7 is fitted and connected to a lower portion of the holder 6 to form an air hole 8 therebetween. The air hole 8 communicates the air layer 1b inside the container body 1 with the mixing chamber 9 formed in the upper portion of the holder 6, and the lower portion of the pipe 7 projects to the bottom of the container body 1 to allow the liquid material 5 to flow into the mixing chamber. 9
The mixing chamber 9 is provided between the inner stopper 2 and the holder 6 and is a net or porous foam homogenizing member 10.
Through the bubble guiding tube 11 of the cap 3.

The coating part 4 is provided with a coating layer 13 of urethane sponge, polyethylene sponge, felt, cloth or the like on the support base 12, and the foam jetting holes 1 are formed between the support base 12 and the coating layer 13.
4 is formed, and the bubble ejection hole 14 is formed in the guide tube 11
And is open to the surface of the coating portion 4, that is, the surface 13a of the coating layer 13.

Then, by lightly crushing the container body 1, the liquid substance 5 containing the surfactant rises into the mixing chamber 9 through the pipe 7.

At the same time, the air in the air layer 1b above the container body 1 is introduced into the mixing chamber 9 through the air holes 8 and the air and the liquid substance 5 are mixed in the mixing chamber 9 to form a foam. The foam is homogenized when passing through the foam homogenizing member 10, and the homogenized foam passes through the foam guide tube 11 and the foam jetting hole 1 of the coating unit 4.
4 spouts onto the surface 13a of the coating layer 13.

The liquid substance can be applied to a target location by pressing the foamed foam on the target location and rubbing it lightly.

2 and 3 show a second embodiment, in which a plurality of foam guiding grooves 15 continuous with the foam guiding tube 11 are radially formed on the support base 12 of the coating section 4 and the tips of the respective foam guiding grooves 15 are formed. The bubble jetting holes 14 are formed continuously with the portions.

FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 show the third embodiment, in which the bubble ejection hole 14 is
It is formed by a small diameter hole 14a formed in the support 12 and a large diameter hole 14b formed in the coating layer 13 having a substantially super-circular shape so that a large amount of bubbles are accumulated in the large diameter hole 14b.

If the foam injection hole 14 is formed above the position of approximately 1 / 3L from the lower side of the application unit 4, the foam does not drip when the foam is ejected, and the foam is always present on the surface of the application unit 4. Retained.

[Effect of device]

A liquid substance containing a surfactant in the container body 1 and air are mixed in the mixing chamber 9 to form a foam by simply pressing and deforming the body of the container body 1 by hand, and the foamed body is a uniform foam member. 10 can be ejected from the foam ejection hole 4 of the coating part 4 through the foam induction tube 11 as homogenized by 10 and when the pressure of the body portion of the container body 1 is released, the outside air passes from the foam ejection hole 14 through the foam induction tube 11 and Since it enters the container body 1, the container body 1 is immediately restored,
The next bubble ejection operation can be performed promptly, and the pumping action becomes possible.

Therefore, the body of the container body 1 is lightly pressed and deformed by hand, and the pressing is repeatedly released, and the coating layer 13 of the coating unit 4 is lightly pressed to a desired location, so that the liquid substance can be easily applied as a foam. , Its effort is small and it does not cause fatigue.

In addition, the spouted bubbles are many times more blunt than the liquid itself, and when spreading on the wall surface etc. on the coating part surface, the frictional resistance is much lower than when spreading the liquid, so
The operator does not need to apply a strong force to spread the coating, and thus the coating operation is easy.

Further, when the body portion of the container body 1 is strongly pressed and deformed by directing the coating portion 4 toward the wall surface or the like, bubbles are ejected from the bubble ejection holes 14 toward the wall surface, which is different from the case where the liquid is ejected.
It adheres without bouncing from the wall surface, etc., and does not droop rapidly from the wall surface, etc., so that the clothes of the worker are not contaminated, and it is not necessary to hurry to spread it on the application part.

Therefore, also from these points, the coating operation is easy.

Furthermore, unlike the liquid, the foam spread on the wall surface with the applicator 4 does not easily flow down, so that the time period during which the medicinal component of the foam is in contact with the wall surface is sufficiently long, so that a small amount of the container content liquid can be used. It is possible to exert a sufficient medicinal effect (cleansing power, sterilization power, etc.).
