Abstract:
1. A liquid applicator comprising: a cylindrical main body; an applying part provided at front end of said cylindrical main body; and a cap covering at least said applying part, wherein said cylindrical main body is provided with an application liquid reservoir space for storing an application liquid having viscosity in the range of 1,000 (mPs) to 100,000 (mPs), and a liquid pressing means for pressing said application liquid within the main body, so as to supply the application liquid to the applying part provided at the front end of the main body by pressing of said liquid pressing means, wherein the applying part is made of an elastic material, formed with a communication channel for connecting the inside of the main body and the outside, and an application portion of the applying part is provided so as to further protrude toward the front end from an ejection port of the communication channel, wherein a front end of the applying part including the application portion has a flat and tapered shape, wherein said election port is disposed approximately upward in normally opening state in an approximately central portion of said flat application portion, wherein in the applying part a distance L from said election port to the front end is within a dimension range of 1<L<20 (mm), and a width W of the central portion of the applying part is within a dimension range of 2<W<20 (mm), and the front end of said applying part when being bent by pressure from the vertical plane into the horizontal plane comprising a vertical-direction repulsion force of 0.01 to 1.40 (N) at a portion of 3 (mm) from the front end, wherein the vertical-direction repulsion force is measured by bringing a portion 3 mm from the front end of the application portion in contact with the detection edge by sliding from a lateral direction, and under the state of which the force N that the application portion receives from the detection edge is measured.
