If the inner diameter of the front shaft 9 is close to the outer diameter of the pipe 10 and the front shaft 9 itself can stably hold the pipe 10, the pipe holder 11 may be omitted.

(Operation / Effect of First Embodiment) According to the first embodiment configured as described above, the user uses the application container 1 to apply a soft object such as skin to the object. Apply. First, the cap 19 is removed, the applicator 3 is attached to the protruding portion 10a of the pipe 10, and the rear end of the inner shaft 8 is knocked forward with a finger using the notch 6a of the outer shaft 6. When the inner shaft 8 moves forward by this knocking operation,
The front end of the valve rod 14 of the valve device 5 comes into contact with the rear end of the liquid introducing pipe 7, and the valve rod 14 stops. When the inner shaft 8 moves further forward while the valve rod 14 is stopped, it is between the piston blade 14a of the valve rod 14 and the valve seat 16 and the outer periphery of the front end of the valve rod 14 and the rear end of the liquid introduction pipe 7. An annular space is formed around the outer circumference. The inner volume of the annular space increases as the inner shaft 8 advances, but when the inner shaft 8 further advances and the front end of the window 13a of the spring receiver 13 comes to a position ahead of the piston blade 14a. , The coating liquid in the tank 8b is taken in so as to be sucked in through the window 13a.

Next, when the user removes his / her finger from the rear end of the inner shaft 8 and the inner shaft 8 moves rearward by the urging force of the valve spring 15, first the window 13a is closed by the piston blade 14a, and then the aforesaid. As the inner volume of the annular space decreases,
The coating liquid in the annular space and the liquid introducing pipe 7 is pressurized. As a result, the coating liquid comes to flow out from the front end opening of the pipe 10, and the flowing-out coating liquid is pushed out from the front end opening 4a of the coating body 3 via the introduction hole 3d of the coating body 3 to the outside. Is discharged.

Then, the user can open the front end opening 4a of the applicator body 3.
The coating liquid ejected from is applied to an object to be coated such as skin and oral cavity. At this time, the user can perform a knocking operation to confirm that the coating liquid has come out from the front end opening 4a of the coating body 3, and then apply the coating liquid to the coating target body. Of course, it is also possible to discharge and apply the coating liquid by the knocking operation at the same time with the coating body 3 being in contact with the coating target from the beginning.

According to the first embodiment as described above, the applicator 3 made of a substantially cylindrical elastic body can be procured as a molded product such as rubber that can be mass-produced at one time, so that the fibers are bundled in a brush shape. This eliminates the need for troublesome steps and reduces the manufacturing cost. Further, since the applicator body 3 is made of a substantially tubular elastic body, bacteria and the like are less likely to adhere to the applicator body and are less likely to be contaminated than the conventional brush-like one.

Further, since the applicator 3 is composed of a substantially cylindrical elastic body, the tip of the applicator does not dissipate unlike the conventional brush-like one, and the tip of the applicator 3 can be secured even in a narrow place. Can be delivered to.

Further, by attaching the mounting hole 3b of the substantially cylindrical coating body 3 to the protruding portion 10a of the pipe 10 in a detachable manner, the coating body 3 can be replaced with a simple structure, and at the same time, the aforementioned structure can be exchanged. Since the applicator body 3 can be procured at a low price so that it can be disposable, the user can apply the applicator body 3 at an appropriate time.
Is replaced with a new one, and always a new hygienic application body 3
Can be used. Furthermore, by forming the applicator body 3 with a material in which an antibacterial agent is kneaded, the applicator body 3 can be made more hygienic. The coated body 3
Need not necessarily be interchangeable. That is, when the hygiene aspect is not so concerned for the application purpose, the applicator body 3 may be fixed to the applicator body 2 and the applicator body 3 may be used continuously.

Further, in the first embodiment, the valve rod 14
Since the ejection of the coating liquid is stabilized by the action of the piston blade 14a, the required ejection amount of the coating liquid can be obtained even if the knocking operation is small, and the application container 1 is very convenient.

(Modification of the First Embodiment) The coating container 1 of the first embodiment is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention is the first embodiment. Not limited. 5 to 11 are diagrams according to modified examples of the first embodiment.

The pipe 10 and the pipe holder 11 in the first embodiment may be constructed as an integrated product 20 (see FIG. 5). In this integrated product 20, as shown in FIG. 5, a holder-corresponding portion 2 corresponding to the pipe holder 11 is provided.
0a has a shape substantially similar to that of the pipe holder 11, whereas the pipe-corresponding portion 20b corresponding to the pipe 10 comprises only the protruding portion 10a of the pipe 10. Therefore, unlike the pipe 10 of the first embodiment, there is no flow path that directly connects the introduction hole 3d of the coating body 3 and the liquid introduction pipe 7, but the flange portion 20c of the integrated product 20 and the liquid introduction pipe 7 are not provided. If the collar portion 7a is firmly and water-tightly sandwiched between the front shaft 9 and the front end face of the outer shaft 6, the sealing property of the path of the coating liquid from the liquid introducing pipe 7 to the integrated product 20 is improved. You can secure enough.

Further, in the first embodiment, the axial direction of the applicator body 3 is straight along the axial direction of the applicator container body 2, but the axial direction of the applicator body 3 is the axial direction of the applicator container body 2. You may incline with respect to it. As shown in FIG.
For example, the protruding portion 10a of the pipe 10 can be bent into a substantially V shape, and the coating body 3 can be fitted into the bent portion 10a1. In this case, the pipe 10 can be procured by forming a synthetic resin into a substantially V shape, or by bending a metal pipe such as a stainless pipe into a substantially V shape by plastic working. Thus, the coated body 3
When the axial direction of is tilted with respect to the coating container body 2,
An extremely advantageous effect is obtained in that the coating solution can be easily applied to, for example, the back side of the tooth in the oral cavity, which is difficult to reach with the application body 3 fitted in the straight pipe.

Further, in the first embodiment, the mounting hole 3b of the applicator 3 and the protruding portion 10a of the pipe 10 are provided.
Alternatively, the fitting with the projecting portion 20a of the integrated product 20 is performed by simply press-fitting the smooth surfaces, but the application body 3 is prevented from falling off the pipe 10 or the like on the inner periphery of the mounting hole 3b of the application body 3. The protrusions may be integrally formed along the circumferential direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, one or more annular protrusions 21 having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the pipe 10 or the like (including the integrated product 20) are formed on the inner circumference of the mounting hole 3b. It becomes possible to prevent the application body 3 from falling off from the pipe 10 or the like. Therefore, even when the applicator body 3 is deformed by receiving a force from the object to be applied during use (at the time of application), the applicator body 3 is less likely to come off from the pipe 10 or the like as compared with a case where the applicator body 3 is simply fitted. If a synthetic resin pipe is used, the protrusion 22 can be easily formed on the outer periphery of the pipe 10 as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B. Projection 21 of coating body 3
It is possible to further prevent the application body 3 from falling off by engaging with the front side of the. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, at least the front surface 21a of the projection 21 provided in the mounting hole 3b of the application body 3 is formed at right angles to the inner circumference of the mounting hole 3b, and the projection provided on the outer circumference of the pipe 10 or the like. If at least the rear surface 22a of 22 is formed at a right angle with respect to the outer circumference of the pipe 10 and the like, the protrusions 22 in the mounted state of the applicator 3

When the coating liquid is communicated with the internal introduction hole 3d and flows into the introduction hole 3d under pressure by a knocking operation, the coating liquid is discharged at the same time as the opening due to the pressure of the coating liquid. By thus forming the front end opening with the slits 23 (24), it is possible to suppress evaporation of the coating liquid when the coating container 1 is not used. Further, when the slits 23 (24) of the applicator body 3 are in close contact with each other, the coating liquid in the applicator container body 3 is shielded from the outside air, so that bacteria and the like can be prevented from entering the applicator container body 3. Therefore, the application container 1 can be stored hygienically when not in use.

Further, the valve device 5 in the first embodiment operates by knocking the rear end of the inner shaft 8 in the axial direction, but the valve device according to the present invention applies the liquid to the application body. Any mechanism may be used as long as the liquid introduction path is closed / opened and the coating liquid is pushed out toward the coating body 3.

The dimension from the front end of the small diameter cylindrical portion 33a3 to the stepped portion 33a2 (the length of the small diameter cylindrical portion 33a3 in the axial direction) is such that the application body 27 does not come off from the small diameter cylindrical portion 33a3 of the liquid introducing pipe 33 during use. The setting is made so that the user can set the liquid introduction pipe 3 when the rear end face of the applied application body 27 comes into contact with the step portion 33a2 of the liquid introduction pipe 33 when the application body 27 is replaced.
It can be easily confirmed that the insertion amount of 3 is sufficient.

As shown in FIG. 13, the front shaft 34 has an outer surface which is tapered toward the front and has a female screw portion which is screwed to the male screw portion 29c of the main body shaft 29 at the rear end. Three
4a. The front shaft 34 is screwed to the main body shaft 29, so that the front end face of the main body shaft 29 and the liquid introducing pipe 3 are connected to each other.
The flange portion 33c of No. 3 is sandwiched in a watertight state, and the liquid introducing pipe 33 is fastened in the axial direction. Further, the front portion of the tip shaft 34 holds the liquid introducing pipe 33.

When the coating container 25 is not used, as shown in FIG. 16, the coating body is detached from the small diameter cylindrical portion 33a3 of the liquid introducing pipe 33, and the cap 41 is detachably attached to the outer periphery of the rear portion of the front shaft 34. Can be attached to. The projecting portion 33a of the liquid introducing pipe 33 in the state where the cap 41 is attached is completely housed in the cap 41, and is protected from the outside and is not contaminated. Of course, depending on the size of the cap 41 and the application of the coating container 25, the cap 41 may be attached while the coating body 27 is still attached to the liquid introduction tube 33.

(Operation / Effect of Second Embodiment) According to the second embodiment configured as described above, the user uses the application container 25 to apply a soft object to be applied, such as the skin, as follows. Apply. First, the cap 41 is removed, the application body 27 is attached to the small-diameter cylindrical portion 33a3 of the liquid introducing pipe 7, and the knob body 32 whose rotation direction is limited to only one direction by the ratchet portions 37b and 38a is rotated. When the knob body 32 rotates, the feeding body 37 and the screw shaft 35 that are engaged with the knob body 32 in the rotation direction also rotate, and the screw shaft 35 that is screwed into the female screw hole 36a of the nut body 36. Because the nut body 36 cannot rotate with respect to the main body shaft 29, it receives surface pressure from the female screw hole 36a of the nut body 36,
It moves forward while sliding the deformed inner surface portion 37d of the feeding body 37. When the screw shaft 35 advances, the piston 3
0 presses the coating liquid in the liquid storage portion 29a from the rear,
The coating liquid in the liquid storage portion 29a is pressurized and introduced into the introducing hole 27d of the coating body 27 through the liquid introducing pipe 33, and then further pushed out from the front end opening 28a of the coating body 27 and discharged. .

Then, the user uses the front end opening 2 of the applicator 27.
The application liquid discharged from 8a is applied to the object to be applied such as the skin or the oral cavity. At this time, the user can rotate the knob 32 to confirm that the coating liquid has come out from the front end opening 28a of the coating body 27, and then apply the coating liquid to the coating target body. . Of course, the application liquid can be discharged and applied simultaneously by rotating the knob 32 while the front end of the tapered portion 27a of the application body 27 is in contact with the application target from the beginning.

According to the second embodiment as described above, the applicator 27 made of a substantially cylindrical elastic body can be procured as a molded product such as rubber that can be mass-produced at once, so that the fibers can be bundled into a brush shape. No additional process is required, and the manufacturing cost is low. Further, since the application body 27 is made of a substantially cylindrical elastic body, bacteria and the like are less likely to adhere to the application body and the application body 27 is less likely to be contaminated, as compared with a conventional brush-like one.

Further, since the applicator 27 is made of a substantially cylindrical elastic body, the tip of the applicator 27 does not come apart unlike the conventional brush-like one, and the tip of the applicator 27 can be placed in a narrow place. It can be delivered reliably.

Further, the mounting hole 27b of the substantially cylindrical applicator 27 is provided.
By detachably fitting the small diameter cylindrical portion 33a3 of the liquid introduction pipe 33, the application body 27 can be replaced with a simple structure, and at the same time, the application body 27 can be procured at a low price so that it can be disposable as described above. Therefore, the user can replace the applicator 27 with a new one at an appropriate time and always use the new sanitary applicator 27. Further, by molding the applicator body 27 with a material containing an antibacterial agent, the applicator body 27 can be made more hygienic. The application body 27 does not necessarily have to be replaceable.
That is, when the hygiene aspect is not so concerned due to the application purpose, it is possible to fix the applicator body 27 to the applicator body 26 and continue using it.

Further, in the second embodiment, since the discharge of the coating liquid is stabilized by the action of the piston 30 which is moved forward by the rotation operation of the knob body 32, the coating operation is performed even if the number of rotation operations of the knob body 32 is small. The required discharge amount of the liquid can be obtained, and the application container 25 is very convenient.

(Modification of Second Embodiment) The coating container 25 of the second embodiment is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention is the second embodiment. Not limited. 17 to 27 are diagrams showing modified examples of the second embodiment.

For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the liquid introducing pipe 33 in the second embodiment is water-tight in the pipe joint 42, which is press-fitted into the front end opening 29b of the main body shaft 29 in a water-tight state. It is also possible to divide it into the liquid-introducing pipe 43 that is press-fitted and to configure it with two parts. in this case,
Cylindrical groove 42 opened forward on the front end face of the pipe joint 42
A is formed, and a substantially cylindrical cylindrical press-fitting portion 43a protruding from the rear end surface of the liquid introducing pipe 43 is press-fitted into the cylindrical groove 42a in a watertight state. If the liquid introducing pipe 33 is divided into two parts in this way, the pipe joint 42 is procured from a soft synthetic resin such as polyethylene, and the tip shaft 34 and the body shaft 29 are procured.
While the sealability of the collar portion 42b of the pipe joint 42 sandwiched between the front end surface of the liquid introducing pipe 43 and the liquid introducing pipe 43 is made of a hard material, the liquid introducing pipe 43 is formed at the front end thereof and has a small diameter to which the applicator 27 is mounted. The rigidity of the cylindrical portion 43b is increased so that the small-diameter cylindrical portion 43b is not easily bent during coating, and the sealing property and usability of the coating container 25 can be improved at the same time.

Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the liquid introducing pipe 33 in the second embodiment is connected to the front end opening 2 of the main body shaft 29.
9b, the pipe joint 42 press-fitted in a watertight state, and the pipe guide 44 in which the rear end surface abuts on the front end surface of the pipe joint 42.
And inserted into the pipe guide 44 and the pipe joint 4
It is also possible to change to the one constituted by three parts consisting of the pipe 45 press-fitted in 3 in a watertight state. in this case,
The pipe 45 is projected forward from the front end of the pipe guide 44, and the applicator 27 is detachably fitted to the forwardly projecting portion 45 a of the pipe 45. Further, in this case, the rear end of the pipe 45 is press-fitted into the pipe joint 42 in a watertight state and the front end of the pipe 45 extends forward of the pipe guide 44. It is guided to the coating body 27 directly by 45. Therefore, since it is not necessary to secure the sealing property between the front end surface of the pipe joint 42 and the front end surface of the pipe guide 44, a press-fitting portion such as the press-fitting cylindrical portion 43a (see FIG. 17) is not provided on the rear end surface of the pipe guide 44. There is an advantage that it does not need to be formed. Note that, in FIG. 19, an elongated type applicator 27 in which the introduction hole 27d is longer than the mounting hole 27b is attached to the protruding portion 45a of the pipe 45 shown in FIG.

Further, as shown in FIG. 20, a press-fitting cylindrical portion 46a is formed on the rear end surface of the pipe guide 46, and the press-fitting cylindrical portion 46a is fitted into the cylindrical groove 42a of the pipe joint 42.
The pipe guide 46 and the pipe joint 42 may be connected to each other in a watertight state by press-fitting into, and the short pipe 47 may be inserted and attached only to the pipe guide 46. Even in this case, the pipe 47 is made to project further forward than the front end of the pipe guide 46, and the projecting portion 47 a of this pipe 47 is
The application member 27 is attached to the.

Further, in the second embodiment, the axial direction of the applicator body 27 is arranged along the axial direction of the applicator body 26, but the axial direction of the applicator body 27 is set with respect to the axial direction of the applicator container body 26. You may incline. As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, for example, the protruding portion 45a of the pipe 45 can be bent into a substantially V shape, and the coating body 27 can be fitted into the bent portion 45a1. In this case, the pipe 45 can be procured by forming a synthetic resin into a substantially V shape, or by bending a metal pipe such as a stainless pipe into a substantially V shape by plastic working. When the axial direction of the applicator 27 is inclined with respect to the applicator container body 26 as described above, the applicator 27 fitted to the straight pipe is difficult to reach, for example, the back side of the teeth in the oral cavity. A very advantageous effect that the liquid can be easily applied can be obtained.

Further, in the second embodiment, the fitting hole 27b of the applicator 27 and the liquid introducing pipes 33, 43 or the pipes 45, 47 are simply fitted into each other by press fitting the smooth surfaces. On the inner periphery of the mounting hole 27b of the applicator 27,
Pipe 45, etc. (the liquid introducing pipes 33, 43 and the pipe 4
7) may be integrally formed along the circumferential direction to prevent the applied body 27 from falling off. For example, as shown in FIG. 23, one or more annular protrusions 48 having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the pipe 45 or the like are formed on the inner circumference of the mounting hole 27b. It will be possible to prevent the falling of. Therefore, even when the applicator 27 is deformed by receiving force from the object to be applied during use (at the time of application), the applicator 27 is less likely to come off from the pipe 45 or the like as compared with a case where the applicator 27 is simply fitted.
In addition, if a pipe 45 made of synthetic resin is used, FIG.
As shown in (a) and (b), since the annular projection 49 can be easily formed on the outer periphery of the pipe 45 and the like, the projection 49 is engaged with the front side of the projection 48 of the application body 27. By doing so, it is possible to further prevent the applied body 27 from falling off. Further, as shown in FIG. 25, at least the front surface 48a of the projection 48 provided in the mounting hole 27b of the application body 27 is formed at a right angle to the inner circumference of the mounting hole 27b, and the projection provided on the outer circumference of the pipe 45 or the like. If the rear surface 49a of the projection 49 is also formed at a right angle to the outer circumference of the pipe 45 or the like, the rear surface 4 of the protrusion 49 when the applicator 27 is mounted.
9a is firmly hooked on the front surface 48a of the protrusion 48,
It is possible to further prevent the application body 27 from falling off.

Further, in the second embodiment, the coating body 2
Although the front end opening 28a of 7 is always open,
As shown in FIGS. 26 (a) to 26 (c), the opening may be automatically performed as needed. That is, the front end opening of the application body 27 shown in FIGS.
The slit 50 is a slit 50 in which the facing surfaces of the front end opening are in close contact with each other during non-ejection. The slit 50 is elastically deformed by the pressure of the coating liquid when the coating liquid is introduced from the rear end opening 28b side. , The facing surfaces are opened apart and the coating liquid is discharged. In this case, the slit 50 is not limited to the one that is simultaneously molded into the flat taper portion 27e at the time of rubber molding, and the coating body 27 is molded like the slit 51 shown in FIGS. 27 (a) to 27 (c). It may be formed by cutting the tapered portion 27e with a thin blade later. In any case, slit 50 (5
1) communicates with the introduction hole 27d inside the application body 27, and when the coating liquid flows into the introduction hole 27d under pressure by a knocking operation, it is opened by the pressure of the coating liquid and at the same time the coating liquid is discharged. To do. Slit 50
By forming the front end opening with (51), the coating container 2
It is possible to suppress the evaporation of the coating liquid when No. 5 is not used. Further, when the slits 50 (51) of the application body 27 are in close contact with each other, the application liquid in the application container body 26 is shielded from the outside air, so that bacteria and the like can be prevented from entering the application container body 26. Therefore, the coating container 25 can be stored hygienically when not in use.

The feeding device 31 in the second embodiment is operated by rotating the knob 32, but the feeding device according to the present invention knocks the tail end of the coating container. The mechanism is not particularly limited as long as it is operated by the operating means provided in the coating container to move the piston forward and push the coating liquid to the coating body.

[0088]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to manufacture an applicator at a low cost, and to provide a user with a hygienic applicator that is not easily contaminated and is replaceable. You can Moreover, the coating liquid can be surely applied to a narrow area without the tip of the application body being scattered.
