Applicator
To provide an applicator with an application body that is nonabsorbent and can uniformly spread and apply an application liquid over the surface to be applied on without scraping the applied liquid during application. The application body includes a membranous part that is easily deformable in applying liquid, and a cavity part enclosed by the membranous part, and constructed such that when the applying surface of the membranous part comes into contact with the surface to be applied on, the contact surface of the membranous part fits closely following the surface to be applied on by the pressure of the membranous part acting onto the contact surface of the surface to be applied on.
1. An applicator for applying an application liquid on a surface to be applied on by means of an application body, the applicator comprising:
an application body comprising:
a membranous part that is easily deformable in applying liquid; and
a cavity part enclosed by the membranous part,
wherein
when an applying surface of the membranous part comes into contact with a surface to be applied on, the applying surface of the membranous part in contact with the surface to be applied on follows to a contact surface of the surface to be applied on by a pressure of the membranous part acting onto the contact surface of the surface to be applied on, and
a liquid delivery hole is arranged in an area other than the applying surface of the application body.
2. The liquid applicator according to claim 1 , wherein the applying surface of the application body is formed of a nonabsorbent surface.
3. The liquid applicator according to claim 1 , wherein the cavity part contains a substance that forms a soft gel after filling by cross-linking reaction.
4. The liquid applicator according to claim 1 , wherein the cavity part contains a substance that foams after filling to form a soft sponge.
5. The liquid applicator according to claim 1 , wherein the cavity part contains a filler that has been made viscous by a thickener.
6. The liquid applicator according to claim 1 , wherein the cavity part contains air, and the air is tightly sealed in the cavity part by adjusting a thickness of the membranous part, or a shape of the cavity part is maintained by virtue of an elastic force of the membranous part in a state such that an air is not sealed in the cavity part.
7. An applicator for applying an application liquid on a surface to be applied on by means of an application body, the applicator comprising:
an application body comprising:
a membranous part that is easily deformable in applying liquid; and
a cavity part enclosed by the membranous part,
wherein
when an applying surface of the membranous part comes into contact with a surface to be applied on, the applying surface of the membranous part in contact with the surface to be applied on follows to a contact surface of the surface to be applied on by a pressure of the membranous part acting onto the contact surface of the surface to be applied on, and
the application body is formed with a rigid part that has a greater rigidity than the applying surface side and is arranged on an opposite side of the applying surface with respect to a liquid flow passage so as to prevent overall distortion of the application body during liquid application.
8. The liquid applicator according to claim 7 , wherein the application body is formed so that the applying surface side is wider than the rigid part when viewed in a cross section perpendicular to the liquid flow passage.
9. The liquid applicator according to claim 7 , wherein the applying surface of the application body is formed of a nonabsorbent surface.
10. The liquid applicator according to claim 7 , wherein the cavity part contains a substance that forms a soft gel after filling by cross-linking reaction.
11. The liquid applicator according to claim 7 , wherein the cavity part contains a substance that foams after filling to form a soft sponge.
12. The liquid applicator according to claim 7 , wherein the cavity part contains a filler that has been made viscous by a thickener.
13. The liquid applicator according to claim 7 , wherein the cavity part contains air, and the air is tightly sealed in the cavity part by adjusting a thickness of the membranous part, or a shape of the cavity part is maintained by virtue of an elastic force of the membranous part in a state such that an air is not sealed in the cavity part.
